Now add to the list reports that after his marriage in 2023, Platner sent sexually explicit texts to several women on the messaging app Kik. 

How can Democrats challenge questionable behavior from Republicans when they accept it in one of their own? For some, it’s necessary in service of a larger goal: taking back control of Congress, says Joan Vennochi. Platner’s supporters see the Maine election — and the chance to defeat Republican candidate Senator Susan Collins — as a key component to resisting the Trump administration. The question now is how far leading Democrats are willing to go to support someone with so much known baggage, with more possibly to come, says Vennochi.]]></video:description><video:category>Columns</video:category></video:video><lastmod>2026-06-09T20:17:47Z</lastmod></url><url><loc>https://www.bostonglobe.com/video/2026/06/09/sports/world-cup/why-the-french-national-team-chose-bentley-university-as-their-practice-facilities-for-the-world-cup/</loc><video:video><video:content_loc>https://d32e4p2yfip7hy.cloudfront.net/wp-bostonglobe/20260609/6a2870daaf63b40ddfe5fb27/t_6e0d00fcd2ef4b788068de2ff89a9bf3_name_060962026_BentleyArena_Horz_Final_1/file_960x540-1600-v4.mp4</video:content_loc><video:duration>75</video:duration><video:thumbnail_loc>https://bostonglobe-bostonglobe-prod.web.arc-cdn.net/resizer/v2/https%3A%2F%2Fd1rwj3sbvso8ql.cloudfront.net%2F06-09-2026%2Ft_63678b531cfd4405ac5ba0f802f05509_name_s3___bgmp_arc_arc_feeds_generic_photos_to_arc_turner060926SPORTSbentleyfrance177_scaled.jpg?auth=822d7de8dbf077bd6c23ba4359a204f43e826ecb59d16ca9d8b7a16acb3ec39f&amp;smart=true&amp;width=1920&amp;height=1080</video:thumbnail_loc><video:title><![CDATA[Why
