- Michael Moore Tells CNN He’s Begging for Progressives to Overthrow Democratic ...
Michael Moore told CNN he is so disgusted by the same old flavor of Democratic politicians he is willing to get on his knees and beg — if his body would allow him to — for progressive candidates to come in and topple the party establishment. The director was in a near frenzy on Tuesday night when he joined anchor Laura Coates to discuss the state of the Democratic Party and the primary in his home state of Michigan. Coates said there is an ongoing “battle” inside the party over what type of candidates will lead it moving forward, which she said is represented by the Senate primary race between Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) and frontrunner Abdul El-Sayed (D). “There is a clash between what people think is possible and what they think requires the continuation of some aspect of the status quo,” Coates said, before asking, “Does there require a change in the establishment and in the way things are done to effectuate the changes you want to see?” “If I could get on my knees and beg it would be for exactly what you said, because we are not going to win the other way,” Moore said. “We lost that way in ’24. It’s not going to happen if we allow this to happen. We are in charge of this and we need to get busy right now.” He then said El-Sayed’s anti-Israel views are a key selling point for him and many other Dem voters. Moore said the party needs to be more like El-Sayed, and less like Stevens. “It’s not about electability — let me tell ya, I’ve known Dr. El-Sayed for many years, I worked on his campaign for governor in 2018. Boy, we would be so lucky if he were our senator, representing us, and standing up for the people who are dying, dying every day over there,” Moore said. Moore added, “I will not support hacks — hacks in the Democratic Party who have led us to this Waterloo.” A moment earlier, the man behind Fahrenheit 9/11 railed against Kamala Harris and ex-President Joe Biden, accusing them of betraying young voters and liberals in 2024 in order to support Israel and what he framed as the country’s murder spree in Gaza. “All the young people in the ’24 election are like ‘I Don’t want to die. I’m not gonna die.

Trump has criticized Pirro in recent days after she moved on Friday to dismiss a felony charge against David Hearn, a former Olympic canoeist, for destruction of government property. The Department of Justice’s criminal complaint alleged that Hearn had damaged the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, the renovation of which Trump has personally overseen. In her motion to dismiss, Pirro stated that the Department of Interior, which oversees the pool, had failed to give her the relevant information before she decided to bring the charge, and that the issues with the pool are due to a “botched installation.” That explanation has drawn criticism from legal experts, who slammed the lack of due diligence. On Monday, Trump told reporters that Pirro “choked” in the case. Hours later, she was summoned to the White House, where the president reportedly “read her the riot act,” two sources briefed in the meeting told CNN. Shortly before boarding Air Force One in Los Angeles after a Republican National Committee event at his Rancho Palos Verdes golf club, Trump took questions from reporters. The president reiterated his baseless claims that the algae blooms and peeling paint in the Reflecting Pool were caused by “vandalism.” “And everybody saw the vandalism,” Trump claimed before citing a “tape” that may or may not exist. “All you have to do is look at the tape. If you look at the tape– plus, we have a witness or two witnesses that saw the vandalism. So, certainly, there was vandalism. It was actually, in my opinion, it was major vandalism. And I told her I was not happy.” “Is she safe?” a reporter asked. “Are you gonna keep her in the position?” “Uh,” Trump replied. “I haven’t made a determination.” After moving to drop the charges against Hearn, Pirro’s office also sought to dismiss charges against three other defendants in the case of the busted Reflecting Pool.

- Hannity Rejects Fox News’ Own Poll on Texas Senate Race: ‘I Don’t Believe ...Fox News’ Sean Hannity disputed polling from his own network showing Texas state Rep. James Talarico (D) leading Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) 51% to 48% in the race for U.S. Senate, remarking, “I don’t believe it for two seconds.” The Fox News poll, released last Thursday, randomly sampled 1,006 Texas registered voters, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. Along with the three-point Talarico lead, the survey found that 24% of non-MAGA Republicans said they support the Democratic candidate over Paxton. Debating former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday’s edition of Hannity, the Fox News host said, “So, you think ‘Six-Gender Talarico,’ who believes God is non-binary, who believes biological men should play women’s sports, and believes that biological men should have access to abortion —” “Did you read your own poll today where Talarico is beating Paxton?” de Blasio asked. “Okay, I don’t believe it for two seconds,” insisted Hannity. “Not for two.” Paxton’s candidacy, despite winning an endorsement from President Donald Trump over longtime incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), has been scandal-ridden, with questions about alleged voter fraud, lavish vacations with what some call his “mistress,” his office’s plea deal with child sex predator Adam Hoffman, and more. Later in the segment, de Blasio remarked that Talarico is talking about “common-sense, kitchen-table issues, which his opponent isn’t,” calling the scenario “the worst nightmare for Republicans.” “When you lose [political strategist] James Carville, and [late-night host] Bill Maher, and you lose [CEO of Stagwell Inc] Mark Penn, who was just on, and [Sen.] John Fetterman [D-PA], and [former Sen.] Joe Manchin [I-WV], I’m telling you, it’s a canary in the coal mine,” Hannity claimed. “Nope,” snapped de Blasio. “Young voters are gonna change these elections. You’re gonna be surprised, and they’re gonna be with the Democrats.” Watch the full clip above via Fox News.The post Hannity Rejects Fox News’ Own Poll on Texas Senate Race: ‘I Don’t Believe It for Two Seconds’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- Bernie Sanders Dares Disgruntled James Carville To ‘Start His Own Party’ Aft...Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) dared veteran political strategist James Carville to “start his own party” after Carville threatened to ditch Democrats over their association with progressive commentator Hasan Piker. Sanders joined CNN’s Abby Phillip on Tuesday evening as progressive Democrats like Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan came out victorious in their primaries. Sayed is one of a number of Democrats facing scrutiny over his relationship to Piker. Phillip asked Sanders about one controversial statement Piker made and whether he was “comfortable” with it. She referenced Piker saying America “deserved” the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which Sanders dismissed as a “dumb statement.” The senator still argued Piker should be welcomed into the Democratic Party tent and that Democrats should stay clear of “cancel culture.” Phillip then brought up Carville’s threat to leave the Democratic Party if Piker is being welcomed into the fold. “Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party and the party I belong to, that Piker belongs to, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party,” Sanders said. The senator called out his own party members who receive money from the pro-Israel lobby organization AIPAC and support Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “You can turn the tables around and say, do you really want to be in a party where your leadership is taking huge amounts of money from AIPAC, which is supporting an extremist Netanyahu government that many of us believe committed genocide? Do you want to be in a party with people who do that?” he asked. Sanders added, “We need a big tent and people like Hasan Piker should be welcomed into that, certainly.” Carville dropped his ultimatum during an appearance on Fox News this week. “I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker, I can tell you that right now,” he said. “If he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I’m out of here. I have no intention of ever being in the political party with that guy.” Watch above via CNN.The post Bernie Sanders Dares Disgruntled James Carville To ‘Start His Own Party’ After Slew of Progressive Victories first appeared on Mediaite.

- Perez Hilton Prompts Police Response After Apparent Self-Harm in TikTok Livestre...
(Photo by Travis P Ball/Sipa USA)(Sipa via AP Images) Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton prompted a response from Florida law enforcement on Tuesday evening after livestreaming what appeared to be acts of self-harm from his Miami home, according to local authorities. A video viewed by Mediaite showed Hilton cutting himself with a large knife in multiple places on his body. “It hurts, but it feels so good, too,” Hilton says at one point as his body and face is covered in blood. “I’m a f*cking parasite loser. This is what you all wanted. You know? Ahhh! It’ll be interesting to see what happens after you die. Ahhh!” At that point, three other users joined the livestream. “What’s up f*ckers?” Hilton asked them. “Perez, what the f*ck are you doing?!” one woman exclaimed. “I’m committing suicide,” he replied. “No!” another user exclaimed. “That’s not what we’re doing here, no.” “Yes, it is,” Hilton said as he continued cutting himself. “Bye bitches.” Hilton then ended the livestream. The Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office told Newsweek it received “multiple calls” reporting that an individual was broadcasting acts of self-harm online. Deputies responded to Hilton’s residence, where they spoke with family members outside the home and determined Hilton was alone inside. Rather than immediately force an encounter, deputies opted to “tactically disengage” while continuing to monitor the situation. “In many incidents involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis or actively harming themselves, deputies prioritize de-escalation by creating time, distance, and opportunities for communication. Unless there is an immediate threat to others, slowing the situation and utilizing crisis intervention techniques can reduce the likelihood of a suicide-by-cop encounter and minimize the risk of injury to the individual, deputies, and the public,” the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office told the outlet.

Max Miller (R-OH) responded to allegations of physical and emotional abuse during an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper in an exchange that did not seem particularly persuasive to many, including Republicans. On Tuesday’s edition of The Lead, Tapper began questioning Miller about accusations from multiple women, but the lawmaker interrupted the host. The interjection prompted Tapper to respond, “Hold on… I’m not done with the list of women that have accused you of violence.” Miller has denied being abusive. During the interview, he compared himself to President Donald Trump. “In 2016, when President Donald J. Trump faced the most extreme allegations in the world that hit him day after day after day, and people in the media very much like yourself and others said that he would have no shot at winning, that he should not be the president of the United States,” Miller told Tapper. “But guess what? He stayed in and he was resilient.” Shortly after the interview, CNN commentator and GOP strategist Scott Jennings said he “found no reason” in that interview to believe that Miller should stay in Congress. “I found no reason, just as a Republican watching it, why I would want that person, above all other Republicans who live in that district, to serve in the U.S. Congress,” he said on air. CNN’s Sarah Ferris reported that another Republican operative echoed that sentiment more bluntly. She quoted the person as saying, “I mean what the absolute f*ck was that?” Jonathan Swan of The New York Times quote-tweeted the post and wrote, “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Miller’s ex-wife, Emily Moreno – the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) – alleges Miller pointed a gun at her head, threw scalding hot water at her, pushed her into a wall, and fractured their two-year-old daughter’s collarbone. Miller denies the accusations. Stephanie Grisham, who served as Trump’s White House communications director and press secretary in the first term and dated Miller in 2019 and 2020, has also accused Miller of abuse. A third woman said that while she and Miller were in high school, Miller pushed a girl out of his room and she fell down some stairs. Axios reported on Monday that Trump phoned Miller and told the congressman that “things aren’t looking good.” Sen. Moreno has called on Miller to step down, as have a handful of other Republican senators.The… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
