(AP Photo/Rod Lamkey, Jr.) Despite polls indicating promising news on the horizon for Democrats, the party’s infrastructure is reportedly in complete turmoil. A wild report in The New York Times Sunday painted a picture of a Democratic National Committee (DNC) in total chaos — with the DNC fending off creditors and its boss feeling so stressed he chucked a phone at a staffer’s desk. According to the piece by the Times’ Shane Goldmacher and Reid J. Epstein, the DNC is so cash-strapped that it is asking its vendors to hold off on invoicing them until after the midterms. The Times reports the DNC is $2 million in debt, while the Republican National Committee (RNC) has $128.5 million on hand. And the pressure has gotten so heavy on DNC Chairman Ken Martin that he appears to be cracking. “Mr. Martin’s fraying nerves are showing,” Goldmacher and Epstein wrote. “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 has felt a “growing sense of paranoia,” according to the report, about a potential move to oust him. The reporters said Martin has also become “paralyzed by the idea of leaks” — although that hasn’t stopped them from happening. As to his handling the organization’s finances, Martin has been called out for a number of moves which have put the cash-strapped party apparatus in a further bind. On his watch, the DNC paid $7.3 million for the remnants of former Vice President Kamala Harris’s 2024 campaign list — money which was used to cover Harris campaign debts. And the DNC has dropped $840,000 on territories such as Puerto Rico and Guam — which, Goldmacher and Epstein note, will not have “any impact on control of Congress.” The DNC is maintaining a nothing-to-see-here posture regarding their finances. Martin penned a Substack essay on Monday defending his fundraising and spending strategy. And Roger Lau, the executive director of the DNC, told the Times in a statement that the request to vendors to hold off on sending their invoices for months is “nothing more than standard negotiations with vendors over contracts and payment processes.” ——The post DNC Boss Threw His Phone at a Junior Aide’s Desk in Fit of Frustration, Wild NYT Report Reveals first appeared on… [TheTopNews] Read More.2 hours ago - Fox News Panel Calls Out JD Vance for ‘Undermining’ Trump on Iran: ‘Not He...
A Fox News panel called out Vice President JD Vance for “undermining” President Donald Trump by claiming an escalation of the Iran conflict could result in a “refugee crisis.” As part of an Iran discussion during Saturday night’s edition of The Big Weekend Show, co-host Tomi Lahren rolled a clip from Vance’s July 15 appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast — in which the vice president warned against an escalation of the Iran conflict by citing the potential consequences. “If you look at the end result of our Libya policy after [Muammar] Gaddafi was killed, Libya basically turned into a failed state,” Vance told Rogan. “You had a refugee crisis, you had a lot of violence, a lot terrorism come from that. How is it in the United States’ interest to have 94 million desperate people flooding into Europe, flooding into the United states, to have sort of the terrorist infrastructure that can get established when you fan terrorists all over the world? We’ve run this experiment before.” “I don’t disagree with the vice president there,” Lahren said. “But I am a little perplexed at why he did that podcast and why he’s seemingly in some ways undermining the president.” Fox News contributor Marc Theissen concurred. “I 100% agree with you,” Theissen replied. Lahren — who has been an increasingly vocal critic of the president and the administration on several fronts — went on to call Vance’s comments “perplexing.” “I actually don’t disagree with his premise there I just find it odd that he did it,” Lahren asked Theissen. “Do you share the same concerns? Do you see the merit of his argument? Even if we both agree it was perplexing.” “I agree with your premise,” Theissen responded. “He seems to be going off. Off base a lot and contradicting the president a lot in public lately and it’s not helpful.” But Theissen went even further than Lahren and criticized Vance’s argument on its face. “JD Vance keeps putting up these straw men,” Theissen said. “He says, ‘Well, the people who want President Trump to go back to war they want to send a hundred thousand 150,000 troops.’ And nobody’s saying that! Nobody is saying that at all. You don’t have to tear down straw men. We’ve liberated 400 million people during the Cold War without a single boot on the ground…President Trump has set… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - Why TikTok’s Algorithm Keeps You Trapped in a Breakup Loop

Lahren ripped the Trump administration on Saturday while co-hosting The Big Weekend Show. She said she didn’t understand why DHS was bragging it has deported 356,389 illegal immigrants so far in fiscal year 2026, and said she did not think the administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration so far was “cutting it.” “It’s not secret to our audience I’m very fired up about this. I, for the life of me, can’t figure out why DHS is flexing over 350,000 deportations in nearly a year,” Lahren said. “That doesn’t sound like mass deportations to me, in any sense of the word.” Lahren said she understood there are hurdles and challenges to getting people out of the country, but she still wants to see those figures jump ASAP. If this sounds familiar, it’s because Lahren skewered Trump on immigration just a few days ago on her Outkick podcast. Lahren said the deportations need to speed up to counter the “millions and millions” of people who flooded the U.S. on President Joe Biden’s watch, and she also urged the Trump admin to target businesses using cheap illegal immigrant labor. “I thought this administration stood for America First and the American worker. As a Trump voter, I know I don’t give one sh*t if big corporations, if they maybe risk losing their serf labor class to rightful deportations,” she vented. “All of this, quite frankly, is infuriating.” Lahren said she is “big fan” of White House border czar Tom Homan, but has a problem with how immigration officials have reported deportations, adding there seems to be some “fudgin’” with the numbers going on: When someone crosses the border and they say “No, No, No, go back.” They count that as a deportation, or an arrest. Well, I guess technically. But when you’re talking about interior enforcement and the millions upon millions of illegal aliens that have been here and then add millions and millions more that Biden let in, saying that they crossed the border and then you put ’em right back, that’s great. Good work. But you’re adding that to the totals, and I believe they’re also adding in totals from coast guard… [TheTopNews] Read More.14 hours ago
- Haitan Migrant Accuses Trump Admin of ‘Ethnic Cleansing’ Days Before Possibl...A Haitian woman who has lived in the U.S. for two decades accused President Donald Trump’s administration of committing “ethnic cleansing” by pushing to deport her and others living under Temporary Protected Status back to her home country. Farah Larrieux complained about her looming deportation during a Saturday appearance on CNN’s First of All. Host Victor Blackwell explained the Supreme Court ruled in the Trump administration’s favor to boot Haitian and Syrian TPS recipients in June, but the date for removal has been changed several times as the decision has been appealed. He then brought on Larrieux, whom he said is one of the Haitians facing deportation as early as next week. Blackwell asked her what she thought about the Trump administration’s claim it is safer now for Haitians to return. “This is not policy. This is purely ethnic cleansing, it’s purely discrimination,” Larrieux said. “What the administration saying is, the life of American have more value than the life of Haitians.” Larrieux said she has lived in the U.S. since the mid-2000s and has built a business; she said she has no idea what she will do if she is sent back to Haiti — and said it is probably not safe for her to be there. “It’s hard to think that I will put 21 years of my life, my adulthood life, into shoe boxes and go back to Haiti, where I can be target for kidnapping, rape, I can be killed too,” she said. “It is difficult to think about it.” She wore a red shirt during her interview which read, “All immigrants have the same rights regardless of their country of origin.” Larrieux’s LinkedIn lists her as the co-founder and director of Thelar Management Group; the Florida company’s Facebook page has a typo in its bio, which says it is a “communication company focused on the Haitian market and specialized in creative and cultura [sic].” And an online bio about her said: Due to complications in her residency petition filed by her husband, Farah was granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in 2010. In 2017, she became a prominent voice in the fight for permanent residency for all TPS recipients collaborating with local and national immigration advocacy groups Larrieux told Blackwell she gets irritated when she hears influencers and pundits who have said Haiti isn’t in too bad of shape. She said they must think Haitian… [TheTopNews] Read More.15 hours ago
- LGBTQ+ Pride Parade Turns Deadly After Van Crashes Into RevelersAn LGBTQ+ pride parade turned deadly in Berlin, Germany, Saturday, after a van crashed into revelers, leaving at least one dead. Another 15 people were reported hurt — some with life-threatening injuries — following the crash at the site of one of Europe’s biggest pride parades. “The police here say that a manhunt is currently underway for possible perpetrators against, again, they’re not sure whether or not this car rammed deliberately into that group of people or whether or not this was some sort of accident,” reported CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen. “This is obviously a mass casualty event that the authorities here have called out. You can see that there’s a lot of fire trucks, ambulances that are here. We’re actually right in the center of Berlin. The area that the camera is pointing to right now is called the Tiergarten, which is very near to where that pride parade was taking place. And you can see that there’s also a lot of police cars here. Certainly a lot of people have been brought to ambulances. There’s one tent that we saw which seemed to have folks who might have been casualties of this event,” Pleitgen said. He continued: Now, with the police are saying is that all of this happened shortly before 10 P.M. local time. Right now, we’re at 1 A.M. local time. So a little over three hours ago, when a white van plowed into a crowd of people and then apparently came to a standstill when it hit a tree. The driver appears to have fled. The people who were inside the van appear to have fled. Right now, the police are saying that there’s a manhunt ongoing for a possible perpetrator or a group of perpetrators. Unclear how many people were actually inside that van when it plowed into that group of people, as you can imagine, the folks who were sort of around the scene here. Again, this is really just a couple of feet away from where all of this happened. Obviously, a lot of them are in shock. Some people talking about the fact that they heard this loud bang as, of course, this parade was going on, as a lot of people were trying to, you know, have have a good time here, have a party here.
