- Margaret Brennan Confronts Bernie Sanders On Scandal-Plagued Graham Platner: ‘...
CBS News’s Margaret Brennan confronted Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) about not dropping his support for scandal-plagued U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner (D) earlier than he did. On Sunday’s Face The Nation, Brennan asked, “You were an early supporter in Maine of Graham Platner. You helped him rise. Do you regret not acting earlier to call for him to drop out, given the warning signs? Would that have given you a leg up with [Troy] Jackson?” “No, I don’t think so,” Sanders said. “When we heard the serious allegations made against him, I wanted to get on the phone, I wanted to talk to him. I did. I asked, along with virtually all of his supporters, that he should get out of the race, and he did.” “But you are confident that with your endorsements, these other candidates have been fully vetted?” Brennan asked. “Well, look, I think, you know, there are hundreds of candidates,” Sanders answered. “I don’t know who has, quote, unquote, ‘been fully vetted’…All I know is, Margaret, the candidates that we are supporting are standing up for the working class of this country.” Earlier in the interview, Sanders said he believed Jackson had an “excellent” chance of beating incumbent Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) because his message resonates with Mainers. “I think he can [win]…I’ve known Troy for many years,” Sanders said, continuing: What he understands that, the people of Maine are sick and tired of a rigged economy in which the billionaire class is getting richer and richer, where we have more income and wealth inequality today than we’ve ever had in the history of this country, while 60% of our people, including in Maine, including in Vermont, all over this country, are living paycheck to paycheck, trying to put food on the table, trying to pay for health care, for housing, put aside a few bucks retirement. Troy understand that. He’s a working-class guy. He’s from the working class. He is very articulate. I think he stands an excellent chance to win.

He said blue states like New Hampshire may start revolting against orders because DNC Chairman Ken Martin is an impotent leader during the Sunday episode of Inside Politics with Manu Raju. Dovere shared his prediction right after a pair of damning stories painted the DNC as a behind-the-scenes train wreck led by a paranoid and weak boss. “There is the possibility that a state could choose to not follow the DNC here and hold their primary when they want to,” Dovere said. Host Manu Raju chimed in, “Like New Hampshire wants to,” referring to the DNC snubbing it in favor of South Carolina as the lead-off primary state. Dovere continued, “People [are] saying, hey, the DNC is broke, they can’t do anything to help us anyway. Nobody is scared in any way of Ken Martin as the chair, and so maybe they’ll go and violate it. It is not where the infrastructure of the party needs to be for going into 2026 and then 2028.” His analysis followed a report from The New York Times which revealed Martin threw his phone at a junior aide’s desk in a fit of frustration. Martin has a “growing sense of paranoia” about DNC insiders pushing to boot him, according to the report. The Times also dished on the committee’s financial woes, reporting the DNC is currently $2 million in the red, while their Republicans rivals are more than nine figures in the black. NOTUS followed with its own Sunday report on the DNC’s dough problems. The outlet reported the DNC put up its headquarters as collateral to obtain a $15 million loan last year — a move it said was not unprecedented, but raised liberal concerns because it was not done in an election year. Raju asked Dovere if Martin could “survive” after the pair of black eye reports. “He can only leave if he resigns, he cannot be kicked out,” Dovere said. “And so it’s up to him.” Watch above.The post ‘Nobody Is Scared’ of Ken Martin: CNN Reporter Predicts Blue States Could Revolt Against ‘Broke’ DNC first appeared on Mediaite.

- Tomi Lahren Warns Republicans They Have a Big Problem With ‘Unhappy’ Young M...Fox News star Tomi Lahren warned Republicans they better start fixing problems for young men ASAP or they will get smoked in the 2026 midterms. Lahren argued on The Big Weekend Show on Sunday the GOP has broken campaign promises — like conducting mass deportations under President Donald Trump — and failed to make it easier for young men to get jobs. She said it will be hard to blame young voters for ditching Republicans if those problems linger. “I think you’re gonna see, especially some young men, who are frustrated that things are costing a lot, maybe they can’t get a high-paying job again,” she said. “We’ve got illegal aliens soaking up the job market in a lot of these places. So there’s a lot of issues the Republicans have yet to address. I think that they can, but you have to answer something with something — you can’t answer something with nothing. and you’re gonna see a lot of people not happy with the status quo.” Lahren said the lack of enthusiasm from young Republicans is especially clear when compared to how amped young liberals are to vote for democratic socialists. She said those voters will “crawl over broken glass” to vote for politicians like New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) and other socialists. The Big Weekend Show hit the topic after fill-in co-host Taylor Riggs mentioned a Sunday report from the Washington Post, which said Republican pollsters see a “scary” problem heading into the midterms. The article said the GOP’s biggest issue is with men under 40 who are concerned about the economy. Riggs echoed Lahren, saying many of her friends are “fired up” about socialists like Mamdani. Lahren added Trump was the candidate who offered a change from the Biden-Harris administration in the 2024 race, but Republicans are in danger of being on the opposite end if they don’t change things soon. “The worst thing that can happen is you tell people are going to stay exactly the same if they’re already unhappy,” she said. “I don’t want Republicans to fall in the trap.” Watch above.The post Tomi Lahren Warns Republicans They Have a Big Problem With ‘Unhappy’ Young Men: ‘They Can’t Get a High-Paying Job’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- James Carville Calls On David Hogg to Take Over ‘Dysfunctional’ DNCDemocratic strategist and “Rajun Cajun” James Carville suggested gun control activist David Hogg take over the Democratic National Committee (DNC) after reports of the organization’s dysfunction under current leadership. A more subdued Carville, who said he’s recovering from surgery, commented Sunday on The New York Times report that current DNC Chairman Ken Martin appears to be cracking under the organization’s major financial pressures. “I did want to, like, Sunday afternoon, or whenever, weigh in on two stories I saw. And one…was a story on the DNC that basically said it’s dysfunctional. It’s just difficult to do anything with it. And it’s all true,” Carville said. He continued: And at the end of the day, who cares? I mean, maybe they want to try to get themselves together, some of them are lovely people…there’s Ken Martin. Maybe they ought to figure out, maybe they could be somewhat relevant. I have no idea. If David Hogg wants to take it over, then, I ain’t stoping you — go ahead, man, I don’t really care. And I don’t think at the end of the day, well, it might be fine people —I know some of them are not particularly determined. And there was another story about how all these Republicans are doing all this research, and they’re discovered that, well, people can’t stand their ass. And, then, I think this was in the Post, and they would send out people canvases and whatever kind of sh*t. And they were talking to people and they were coming back, and it was saying, like, the people, one in five, or the people of MAGA, have turned on us. And it was a, I think a pretty good story, best I could tell. It was well reported. That’s a consequential story! No one — the DNC, like it, loathe it, don’t care about it — take your own pick. It doesn’t matter! The fact that they’re now discovering that their own people are turning on — not just the people, like, “Oh sh*t, we were gone a long time ago” — And so, as we go forward in this political year and we get to the end of it, we got to be careful to discern what’s vapor and what’s real. That, my friends, is one significant story. “So as you’re accumulating your news over the weekend, have a little fun, read the DNC story… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Trump Goes on AI-Posting Spree Targeting Enemies From Iran to ‘Ex Comedians’...
(Photos via: Alex Brandon for AP Photo and Truth Social) President Donald Trump fired off a series of AI-generated images on Sunday targeting a slew of names from his enemies list, from Iran’s theocratic leaders to Rosie O’Donnell and “ex comedians” Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert. The president’s social media spree started with a picture of CNN’s Kaitlan Collins as trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney — doubling down on a joke he made at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner two days earlier. And he kept going from there. Trump posted a picture of a grease and mustard-stained Chris Christie fawning over a saggy-looking Bruce Springsteen soon after. “Bored in the USA,” read the sign behind Springsteen in the fake concert pic. A sign in the background read “Bruce Still Rocks! Us to Sleep” as Christie tried in vain to get a high five from “The Boss.” Trump bashed Christie again soon after with a pic of the ex-New Jersey governor in a boxing ring with Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY). The fight between “Big Chris” and “Little Jerry” was for the “Cheesecake Championship,” the AI picture said. The president went on, posting multiple pictures of him donning a red “Trump 2028” hat. Trump then posted a picture of Colbert, Kimmel, and NBC’s Jimmy Fallon looking like disheveled bums. All three comics are holding up signs reading “Talentless, not funny, ex comedians need money.” They have hats and pans out for people to drop a few bucks in, while the wall behind them is scribbled with graffiti reading “Late Night Is Over.” The president moved onto ripping one of his oldest rivals in O’Donnell. Trump’s pic mocked O’Donnell for her self-imposed exile in Ireland, with a loony-looking O’Donnell writing a letter to “my dearest Donald” in the pic. She is surrounded by Irish nicknacks like a Guinness beer and a leprechaun as she pens her love letter. His posts got a bit more serious after that, with Trump sharing a picture showing a potential strike on Iran’s Kharg Island. Other posts showed the U.S. striking Iranian ships, and another had Trump taking over an oil tanker as Iranian theocrats jumped overboard. “It’s our tanker now!” the post read.

(AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, AP Photo/Rod Lamkey, Jr.) House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) told reporters Sunday that he continues to back Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin, despite recent red flags of distress within the organization. Jeffries spoke to reporters following a midterm rally for union leader Bob Brooks (D) in Bethlehem, PA. “Yes, the chairman has my full support,” Jeffries said. “What we’ve seen over the last 18-plus months is that Democrats have won every single meaningful election up and down the ballot across the country during that period of time, and we look forward to our continued partnership.” During a rally in Pennsylvania, Dem Leader Jeffries told reporters he’s still backing DNC Chair Ken Martin “Yes, the chairman has my full support. What we've seen over the last 18 plus months is that Democrats have won every single meaningful election up and down the ballot… https://t.co/fsrWg6tCpL — Kadia Goba (@kadiagoba) July 26, 2026 The New York Times reported Sunday that the DNC was fending off creditors, and that Martin was so stressed he reportedly threw a phone at a staffer’s desk. Reporters Shane Goldmacher and Reid J. Epstein, wrote that the DNC was asking its vendors to delay billing them until after the midterms as they grapple with $2 million in debt. In comparison, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has $128.5 million, according to the report. In addition, the reporters wrote, “Mr. Martin’s fraying nerves are showing. In a pique of frustration in early July, he threw his phone at the desk of a junior aide while upbraiding the person. The phone-tossing incident resulted in a formal complaint to the DNC’s human resources department.” Martin was later hauled before the DNC’s human resources officials about his behavior, according to three sources who spoke with the Times. Neither the DNC nor Martin would comment on the incident, according to the report. In a statement, Roger Lau, the DNC’s executive director said that the billing issues were “nothing more than standard negotiations with vendors over contracts and payment processes.” Martin was elected to a four-year term in February, and only a vote of the organization’s 450 members could remove him before his term is up in 2030.The post Hakeem Jeffries Goes to Bat for Ken Martin Amid Reports of DNC Turmoil: ‘Has My Full Support’ first appeared on Mediaite.
