Troy Jackson's Abortion U-Turn: From 100% Pro-Life to Co-Sponsoring Late-Term Abortion

Berlin Islamic Terror Suspect Killed, Troy Jackson’s Aborti… · Jul 27, 2026 News

CNN unearthed questionnaires showing Troy Jackson opposed abortion without exception in 2004 and 2010 — including to save the mother's life. By 2017 he had a perfect Planned Parenthood rating, and by 2023 he was co-sponsoring one of the most expansive abortion laws in the country.

Maine Democrats Replace Plattner with Troy Jackson

At 10:45 · chapter starts 8:21

With Graham Plattner forced out over sexual assault allegations he denies, Maine Democrats convened an emergency party convention on Saturday and selected longtime state lawmaker Troy Jackson as their new Senate nominee — winning 566 to 5. Jackson, a fifth-generation logger who served as state Senate President, wasted no time claiming the progressive mantle: his acceptance speech promised Medicare for All, corporate accountability, housing affordability, union rights, abortion rights, LGBTQ protections, and resistance to Trump and ICE. The party is expected to submit his nomination formally Monday morning. Democrats view the seat as critical to reclaiming the Senate majority, and Jackson will be running in one of the country's most closely watched contests against the durable incumbent Susan Collins. The challenge, however, is that Jackson's progressive bona fides are brand new — and his record tells a very different story.

Why the Israel-Killed-Kirk Theory Doesn't Hold Up

#2535 - Andrew Wilson · Aug 5, 2026 News

The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
