And here is Graham Platner's video response to the above article (at least from my understanding).

Graham Platner's campaign team also put out a response (which can also be found deeper into the article):

>These allegations are very serious and Graham vigorously denies them. They are also coached and coordinated by out of state establishment operatives. For a year, opponents of this campaign have thrown everything they can at Graham –– calling him a Nazi, a war criminal, and a communist. None of it has been true and this is no different. It is not a coincidence that this story comes a week before the ballot deadline, just as the previous false allegations came a week before the primary. Graham began this campaign to fight for a Maine where everyone is treated with dignity and where Mainers are put first, and no amount of desperate smears will stop this movement from seeing that vision through.

Observation:

The issue is not simply inconsistency. The Roberts Court appears to be making governance and policy decisions for the United States by deciding which agencies deserve insulation from presidential control and which do not. We are aware of no constitutional provision that ranks the Federal Reserve above other congressionally created agencies, or that makes monetary independence more constitutionally important than scientific independence. Are the NIH and NSF less important to the future of the United States than the Federal Reserve? That is a comparative policy judgment Congress is better positioned to make. When the Court makes that decision itself, it is not merely interpreting the Constitution. It is designing the administrative state according to its own priorities. Their jurisdiction is in law, not Science, not Finance

Lead Paragraph:

Two of the Supreme Court’s most important decisions this term contradict each other so brazenly that a future reader might assume they were issued decades apart by very different courts. But in fact, they were authored by the same man, Chief Justice John Roberts, and released at the exact same time. In Trump v. Slaughter, Roberts abolished independent agencies by a 6–3 vote, allowing President Donald Trump to fire their leaders for any reason. Then, in Trump v. Cook, the chief justice created an exception to this rule for the Federal Reserve by a 5–4 vote, prohibiting the president from removing without good cause. It is impossible to reconcile these two decisions as anything other than a partisan effort to hand Trump dictatorial control over the government without allowing him to drive the nation into a recession.

I call to action that we all switch to doing our banking with a credit unions instead,

Because there are not only morale, but also self serving reasons to do so.
