Jared Moskowitz (D-FL), including one where he’s called a “Zionist Jew f*cking pig.” EXCLUSIVE: Congressman Jared Moskowitz receives hateful, alarming antisemitic voicemails. Trigger warning. pic.twitter.com/F0F6h4MVO3 — TMZ (@TMZ) May 15, 2026 “The U.S. government needs to kill Jews,” one caller said. “You kill these f*cking nasty Jews. Israel is an abomination; it’s fake. Jews from Europe are fake Jews. These are Ashkenazi, Satanic, fake Jews. Kill every single f*cking Zionest scumbag.” Another said, “He calls himself, ‘The honorable.’ You mean honorable Israel bootlicker? You f*cking maggot. You’re a f*cking maggot… And the things you say in your sh*tbag house with your Zionist money — you’re not a f*cking American at all. You’re the Hitler.” Said another, “Hey, you Zionist Jew f*cking pig, how ’bout no more money for Israel?… Well, we know Moskowitz is a Satanic, child-murdering pedophile.” And another, “Let me get this right. We’ve gotta borrow money to fund Israel’s Iron Dome. Why the f*ck don’t them Jew pigs borrow money? Borrow their own money? They’d rather steal it from people. We know how the Jews are. Yeah, f*cking cheap sons of b*tches… I can’t wait ’til Iran nukes Israel, and that would settle everything.” Lastly, a caller said, “Oh no, they want more civilian deaths! Well, if it’s Israel’s civilians, yeah, sure. How ’bout nine million of ’em? Trains are boarding to Germany, showers available upon request! You f*cking Zionist Jew pig f*ck. Yeah. All you traitors — going down.

Obviously, my kids sometimes read the news and see some of this, or they hear it from their friends, and so look, it’s dangerous. A lot of people in the Jewish community, you know, are scared.”The post TMZ Publishes Antisemitic, Death Threat-Riddled Voicemails Sent to Jared Moskowitz first appeared on Mediaite.

  • Frank Luntz Defends Trump’s ‘Clunky’ Gaffe On Whether He Thinks About ‘A...
    Pollster Frank Luntz defended Donald Trump for making a “clunky” gaffe when the president was asked whether he considered Americans’ financial situations when trying to make a peace deal with Iran. Earlier this week, a reporter asked, “Mr. President, what extent are Americans financial situations motivating you to make a deal?” “Not even a little bit,” Trump said. “The only thing that matters when I’m talking about Iran, they can’t have a nuclear weapon. I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation. I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.” CNN host Breanna Keilar said Trump’s answer set off a “buzzer” for her, “because Republicans really need to be seen right now as thinking about Americans’ financial situations. They really need to be seen as that. Should they be worried about this statement kind of coloring voters’ perceptions of them?” “It was clunky. It was a mistake, it was clunky,” Luntz said of Trump’s answer. “I don’t believe that he actually meant it that way. I don’t think he would say it that way again.” Luntz said he believed Trump’s intent was to communicate that national security is “job number one.” “It’s the first and foremost responsibility of the commander in chief,” Luntz continued. “And that all these other aspects of it, which makes life easier for Americans, is secondary. That’s not how it came out. I understand what was meant, but in the end, we expect at a minimum for the American people to be safe and secure in their homes, in their neighborhoods, and he probably wishes he hadn’t said it.” “Yeah, I wonder if you think he’s adequately communicated why this war will, in his opinion, make Americans safer and more secure, as probably the really dominant worry in their daily lives right now,” Keilar said, adding that the cost of groceries is “so horrendously expensive.” “At some point, the president needs to communicate not only his desire, his intention, to address the affordability issue, but he has to show some success,” Luntz said. “And just saying it is not enough. He has to actually do something and communicate that he’s done something on it.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The post Frank Luntz Defends Trump’s ‘Clunky’ Gaffe On Whether He Thinks About ‘Americans’ Financial Situations’ first appeared on Mediaite.

  • Nate Silver Trashes ‘A**holes’ at ABC for Wiping FiveThirtyEight’s Wealth ...
    Tanya Moutzalias/The Ann Arbor News-MLive.com Detroit via AP Nate Silver, founder and former editor-in-chief of now-defunct political data analysis website FiveThirtyEight, trashed ABC executives as a “bunch of a**holes” for wiping the website’s trove of valuable historical data from the internet entirely. The change was first reported by the award-winning website’s former election analyst Nathaniel Rakich, now managing editor at Votebeat U.S., who noted that FiveThirtyEight articles were now “completely offline” and that the page now redirects to “abcnews dot com/politics.” The data sets included electoral political analysis across multiple presidential and midterm elections as well as sports. Rakich called the move a “needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge” in sharing the findings. ABC News has now taken all FiveThirtyEight articles completely offline. They now redirect to abcnews dot com/politics. A needless erasure of thousands of pages of knowledge. — Nathaniel Rakich (@baseballot) May 15, 2026 FiveThirtyEight was bought over by ABC in 2018 but axed by the company in March 2025 as part of sweeping cuts by parent company Disney. Reacting to the news on X, Silver slammed ABC’s owners as “a**holes” and revealed that he had approached the company to buy up the IP only to be refused. “They said they wouldn’t sell at any price because I’d criticized their management of the brand,” he said, in a move he characterized as “vindictiveness.” BTW, I approached ABC about buying back the former FiveThirtyEight IP*, and they said they wouldn't sell at any price because I'd criticized their management of the brand. Costing Disney shareholders $$ b/c of their vindictiveness. * I own the models but the trademarks, etc. — Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) May 15, 2026 The website began as an independent polling aggregation platform in 2008 before becoming a licensed feature at The New York Times. In 2013 it was acquired by ESPN before being transferred to ABC News. Silver remained the face of the publication until his own departure from ABC News in May 2023.The post Nate Silver Trashes ‘A**holes’ at ABC for Wiping FiveThirtyEight’s Wealth of Historical Data From Internet first appeared on Mediaite.

  • DOJ Reportedly Preparing to Indict Raúl Castro ‘to Force’ Cuba ‘to Bow to...
    (AP Photo/Ricardo Mazalan, File) The U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to indict former Cuban president Raúl Castro over the country’s 1996 downing of two civilian planes that killed four Cuban Americans “to force the regime to bow to U.S. demands,” in the words of a Friday report from NBC News. The outlet, citing two U.S. officials familiar with the matter, reported that federal prosecutors are actively building a case against the 94-year-old, whose brother is the late dictator Fidel Castro. The potential charges stem from the shooting of two planes operated by Brothers to the Rescue, a Miami humanitarian group whose volunteers searched for Cuban migrants attempting to cross the Florida Straits. According to NBC News, Fidel Castro, who was president at the time while his younger brother was Minister of the Armed Forces, said then that the planes were shot down to protect against “terrorist threats.” The legal effort is part of a broader campaign by President Donald Trump’s administration, which, in NBC’s words, is “designed to force the regime to bow to U.S. demands, including through drastic economic sanctions and threats of potential military action.” Trump, speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday, declined to discuss the case directly, saying only that it was a matter for the Justice Department. “You talk about a declining country, they are really a nation or a country in decline,” Trump said. “So we’re going to see.” NBC reported that the administration has also intensified diplomatic pressure in recent weeks. Earlier this month, the United States Department of State announced new sanctions targeting foreign companies doing business with Cuba, while offering $100 million in humanitarian aid if Havana agreed to what officials described as “meaningful” reforms. CIA Director John Ratcliffe traveled to Havana on Thursday to deliver what a CIA official described to NBC News in a Thursday email as a warning that Cuba must move quickly or risk consequences similar to those faced by Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela.The post DOJ Reportedly Preparing to Indict Raúl Castro ‘to Force’ Cuba ‘to Bow to U.S. Demands’ first appeared on Mediaite.

  • Eric Trump Accuses Jen Psaki of ‘Blatant Lies’ as He Announces Lawsuit Again...
    Eric Trump said on Friday that he plans on suing MS NOW and one of its hosts, Jen Psaki, accusing them of pushing “blatant lies.” “I intend to sue [Jen Psaki] and [MS NOW] over the below clip,” Trump posted to X. The son of President Donald Trump was responding to a clip of Psaki from her show The Briefing, where she discussed Eric Trump joining his father on his trip to Beijing this week. Trump wrote that he had nothing to do with any official talks taking place during the trip. He wrote: To be clear: Contrary to her monolog [sic] and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever. Any person with basic access to Google and willing to open a company’s annual report or proxy statements would know this. I have had zero involvement in any merger discussions involving any public entity I do not run or control. I have zero business interests in China. No properties, no investments, nothing! I joined this trip for one reason: as a loving son who adores my father and wouldn’t miss being by his side for this incredible moment. During the bilateral talks [Lara Trump] and I went to the Great Wall of China. In the clip, Psaki referred to Trump as a board member of the company ALT5 Sigma, showing footage of him ringing the opening bell at the NASDAQ with the company logo below him and behind him. I intend to sue @jrpsaki and @MSNOWNews over the below clip. To be clear: • Contrary to her monolog and blatant lies, I have NEVER been on the board of ALT5 — not now, not ever.

  • ‘Watch His Reaction’: Racist Streamer’s Face Sinks After Bond Set at $1.25...
    Livestreamer Dalton Eatherly, who goes by the name “Chud the Builder” when he posts racist videos online, had a reckoning Friday when he was charged with the attempted murder of a Black man. The 28-year-old faces additional charges including employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. CNN’s Boris Sanchez said Eatherly “was in court this morning facing multiple charges for a shooting outside a Tennessee court house two days ago.” “Watch his reaction hearing this bond in court,” Sanchez said. As the judge said, “I’m gonna set an initial bond at $1.25 million,” Eatherly, who had been looking up, shut his eyes tightly, as his attorney shook his head. “Based upon the fact of how many people were in the courtyard, were here at the courthouse, and the seriousness of all these felonies,” the judge continued. CNN’s Isabel Rosales said the incident “started out as a verbal fight that Eatherly turned toward [Joshua] Fox and then reached for his firearm, and then a physical fight ensued. Eatherly, according to this affidavit, then shot Fox multiple times. Fox was then airlifted over to Vanderbilt Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery.” Rosales said Eatherly livestreamed the interaction. On the audio played by CNN, Eatherley is heard saying he didn’t shoot until Fox allegedly started beating him up. “Officers note that in the surveillance video that they witnessed, this never turned physical until [Eatherly] pulled out his gun,” Rosales said. “Of course, we’ve reached out to his attorney for comment. But again, this is a live streamer who has made a name out of himself, out of essentially rage baiting, of saying vile content, of going up to people, especially minorities and Black people, calling them the N-word, calling them ‘chimps.’ So there’s been a major backlash from the community about this individual for a long time before this happened,” Rosales said. Eatherly’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 26.
