Description: Graham Platner admits the texts were a personal mistake he and his wife have addressed, while trying to keep the focus on his campaign—but the reports have added to ongoing scrutiny during a competitive Senate race.  A federal judge said the “86‑47” flag—while controversial—is political speech, not a credible threat, so the protest group can keep displaying it for now.  Trump angrily confronted Netanyahu because Israel’s actions in Lebanon could blow up delicate negotiations with Iran and escalate the wider Middle East conflict.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
