- Laura Ingraham Flat-Out Asks John Fetterman if He’d Campaign for Susan Collins
Fox News host Laura Ingraham asked Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) if he would be willing to campaign for Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) against a member of his own party. On Tuesday, U.S. Marine veteran Graham Platner won the Democratic U.S. Senate primary in Maine and will face Collins in November. Platner has been embroiled in several controversies, starting with his now-gone Totenkopf tattoo. He said he did not know of its prominence in Nazi iconography. The Democratic nominee has also been dogged by reports of his distasteful comments about U.S. soldiers and his exchange of sexually explicit texts with multiple women despite being married. That information was revealed by his wife Amy Gertner to a former campaign staffer who was conducting background research into Platner to anticipate potential attacks from opponents. Appearing on Friday’s edition of The Ingraham Angle, Fetterman re-upped his attacks on Platner. “If he was a Republican, how would Democrats describe him?’ the senator asked. “And the descriptions would be accurate for all of those things. They would declare that this guy is a degenerate. You know, he cheats on his wife and he has Nazi tattoos. You know, we’re the party of pearl-clutching, and now we’ve embraced it because, well, we don’t have a choice. Like, if you can’t really defend him, you could at least say, ‘Well, I mean, at least he has a D after his name.’ But he’s not even a Democrat.” “Would you campaign for Susan Collins if she asked you to?” Ingraham asked. “No, of course not,” Fetterman replied. “No, no. I mean, I am a Democrat. Senator Collins, we have different views.” Republicans control the Senate 53-47, and to retake control of the upper chamber, Democrats would need to net four seats.

AP Photo/Jeff Chiu According to a Friday report from WIRED, Meta employees are growing increasingly frustrated with the company’s AI reorganization efforts, with one worker hijacking a livestreamed internal presentation this week to call a top executive a “piece of sh*t.” Per the outlet, an employee interrupted a call attended by thousands of workers with a profanity-laced complaint about “being the company’s bitch” before urging presenters to contact a Meta AI executive and “tell him that he’s a piece of shit.” The incident comes amid broader unrest inside Meta’s recently created Applied AI organization, a unit established earlier this year to support the company’s artificial intelligence efforts. Current employees who spoke to WIRED described deep dissatisfaction with both the structure of the group and the assignments they have been given. “It’s literally the gulag,” one employee said, adding, “You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week.” While some employees said the work, most of which involves creating testing materials designed to evaluate AI models, was not especially difficult, they argued it lacked the creativity and technical challenges they expected when joining the company. One worker claimed that “almost all” employees are unhappy, while another said, “Most people find the work soul-crushing.” Not to mention, WIRED also reported that more than 1,600 employees have signed a petition opposing a company initiative that tracks certain workplace activity to help generate AI training data. In an internal memo obtained by the outlet, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg acknowledged recent organizational turmoil, conceding the company has indeed made mistakes during the restructuring process. He also pledged that Meta would not conduct additional mass layoffs this year and outlined several changes intended to improve morale, including smaller management structures, increased funding for team events, and the return of assigned desks for many employees. The tensions were also acknowledged this week by Meta chief product officer Chris Cox during a meeting for all Instagram employees, according to WIRED. Cox described the last several months as “difficult” and “brutal” and compared employees’ experience to “running a marathon in the middle of a hailstorm.” “It’s like, what the f*ck,” he added.The post Meta Employee Hijacks Livestreamed Meeting and Rants About Top Exec: ‘Piece of Sh*t’ first appeared on Mediaite.

AP Photo/Jill Connelly A fire at Spencer Pratt’s Pacific Palisades business is being investigated by authorities after the reality TV personality and former Los Angeles mayoral candidate claimed the blaze was “no accident” and suggested it may have been politically motivated. Multiple fire crews responded Thursday to the fire at the Highlands Circle complex, which houses an office used by Pratt’s crystals company. The Los Angeles Fire Department’s Arson Unit was later notified. Officials have not determined a cause, and the investigation remains ongoing. Pratt, however, insisted in comment to The California Post on Friday that the fire was “no accident.” “I want to be careful to not compromise an arson investigation, but this incident is very suspicious,” Pratt told the newspaper. “I will wait for the investigators to make public the details, but this was no accident, and the timing of this… on the heels of all of the contentious election tomfoolery of the last two weeks, it is very suspect, indeed.” Thanking the LAFD, he continued: “There are many unscrupulous people in this city who will stop at nothing to silence people who expose the corruption that has overrun our city.” “This fire was not an accident, and it would not surprise me in the least if this were a reprisal for my work in opposing [Mayor] Karen Bass and [City Councilmember] Nithya Raman, and having the audacity as a civilian to try and do my civic duty and improve our broken city,” he added. The office is housed in a building that survived the devastating Palisades Fire earlier this year and was undergoing renovations when the latest blaze broke out. Pratt became an outspoken critic of Los Angeles’ political leadership during his failed mayoral bid, which he launched after losing his home in the Palisades Fire of January 2025. After Pratt lost his place in the election, President Donald Trump unloaded on California’s election process as “rigged” in an impromptu on-air call to Fox & Friends and demanded that congressional Republicans pass voter ID legislation.The post Spencer Pratt Alleges Arson After Fire at Crystals Company Office: ‘No Accident’ first appeared on Mediaite.

If for some reason this deal does not go through this weekend, and it doesn’t go through next week, and for whatever reason, Iran backs out, we know that the White House is doing everything it can currently to bring these gas prices down. We’re tapping the strategic petroleum reserve. Is there a backup plan? Is there something that you guys have up your sleeve to get through the summer months? BURGUM: I have to smile everytime I see on the screen the national average for gasoline, because it’s about like if a weather reporter said, “Here’s the temperature in America tomorrow. It’s gonna be 46 degrees. I mean, it’s not a criticism of Fox, but the price of gasoline varies across our whole country, largely right now by state policy and state taxes, not by the underlying fundamentals. The underlying fundamentals, like you opened with, we’re producing and exporting more oil than we ever have, producing more natural gas than we ever have. We are an abundant nation but the states that went down, about half the states that went down this path where they overrotated towards “we’re going to have energy transition, we’re going to move from affordable, reliable secure American energy and we’re going to rely on intermittent, highly subsidized, weather-dependent sources of energy,” they’ve got substantially higher energy prices than the states that don’t. And so, I think that we’re going to see prices continue to drop across the country but they’re… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
- Tulsi Gabbard Sparks Fury By Going All In on Ukraine Biolabs Theory: ‘Loyal to...
Screenshot via social media Outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard sparked fury on Friday by going all in on the Ukraine biolabs conspiracy theory, which Russian leader Vladimir Putin cited as a reason for his invasion of Ukraine. “Today, I’m releasing new evidence of long-standing U.S. Government funding of more than 120 bio labs in over 30 countries. Now, these bio labs include labs in places like Ukraine, which could be at risk of compromise due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war. In fact, the intelligence community had previously warned that a U.S.-funded bio lab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable to long-standing threats of Russian attack, seizure, or damage,” Gabbard began in a clip released to social media. She added: Despite the obvious potential for catastrophic global impact research on dangerous pathogens in biolabs can have, politicians, so-called health professionals like Dr. Fauci, and entities within the Biden administration’s national security team lied to the American people about the existence of U.S.-funded and supported biolabs, and threatened those who attempted to expose the truth. Gabbard’s disclosure sparked a fierce debate on social media, with MAGA supporters — including members of Congress — singing her praises and national security experts accusing her of pushing Russian propaganda. Putin claimed his Russian invasion of Ukraine was necessary in part to remove the biolabs, which he said make chemical weapons, from the country. The Financial Times’s chief correspondent in Ukraine, Christopher Miller, shared the clip and added, “Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin.” Before she departs, Gabbard uses her platform and access to intelligence to perpetuate one of her and Russia’s favorite conspiracy theories, disingenuously twisting facts, deliberately misinforming the public and delivering a gift to the Kremlin. https://t.co/xcfqQzlajh — Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) June 12, 2026 The New York Post covered the video and spoke to Josh Segal, a noted expert on biological weapons, who said, “I am really confused as to why the DNI released something giving new life to a misleading narrative the entire intel community has known for decades to be a Russian trope and that the Trump administration worked hard to crush in its first term.” “Their labs are not now and were never… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago
