(Jeff Roberson/AP photo) Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (D) claimed without evidence on Sunday night that Republicans have to “cheat” in elections. “Republicans can’t win on their record alone,” he said in an X post. ‘So they cheat.” Republicans can't win on their record alone. So they cheat. — JB Pritzker (@JBPritzker) July 19, 2026 Pritzker did not elaborate. The post has nearly 3,000 comments, mostly attacking Pritzker, a rumored 2028 White House candidate. “Totally irresponsible to be saying stuff like this in this environment,” VoteBeat managing editor Nathaniel Rakich said in a reply to Pritzker’s post. On Saturday, Pritzker unleashed two attacks on President Donald Trump, saying, “Donald Trump’s so-called ‘SAVE America Act’ isn’t about saving American elections. It’s about saving the Republican party.” He followed up with, “Everything we care about is under siege by a racist, misogynist, and homophobic president.” The governor has often attracted the ire of Trump, who once posted an AI-generated image of Pritzker feasting at a buffet. In addition, the president has often claimed that Pritzker was tossed out of his family’s hotel business. In return, Pritzker has repeatedly charged that the president suffers from dementia.The post JB Pritzker Baselessly Claims Republicans ‘Cheat’ in Elections first appeared on Mediaite.

Julie Mason SiriusXM POTUS host Julie Mason isn’t a new kid on the block. The veteran print journalist, who reported on former President George W. Bush’s White House as well as former President Barack Obama’s first term in office, isn’t even new to radio, having switched to that medium in 2011. Now, Now, she’s still finding ways to thrive while attracting big-name, ideologically diverse guests ranging from Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to former First Lady Michelle Obama. Guests like those make Mason’s daily rundown the envy of many a cable news booker with their much larger budgets and teams. Big names, both sides. Often in the same show. Mason gets them all. From Cory Booker to Rand Paul. From Tammy Duckworth to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. From Chris Murphy to Trump officials like Doug Burgum. The question asks itself: How does she do it? The answer, according to Mason, is that politicians — like the rest of us — are getting tired of canned questions designed to prompt viral answers. “They don’t want to deal with your stupid gotcha question, right? And I understand that, and I don’t think they should have to,” Mason explained. “There’s a way to get that same information without being an antagonist.” Mason’s guests are also relaxed and engaged, equally happy to banter and to dive into tough topics. She says it’s a little harder to get big-time guests from the right than from the left, but the GOP is more apt to participate if they believe you’re an honest broker. “[Republicans] just want a fair shake,” Mason added. “They don’t want softball, they don’t want an easy time of it, they just want you to be fair.” She recalled speaking to Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), who was “in the middle of some stupid mess” at the time, and telling him, “Look, I’m not looking for a fight with you, I just want to understand how you’re thinking.” Mason continued, “And his sigh was so audible on the air, he exhaled heavily, and just calmly explained his thinking. I learned from him so much more than I would have if I’d gone in hard.” Having the time (her show runs three hours from 3-6 p.m. ET every weekday) to really dig into a guest and their concerns and issues is a “luxury,” she admits. Mason’s career began when she was hired as a clerk by the… [TheTopNews] Read More.36 mins ago - Trump Says AF1 Gift Plane From Qatar Is Being Taken Out of Service To Be ‘Maxe...
President Donald Trump told reporters on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews Sunday that the luxury Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar as the new Air Force One was being taken out of service for a month so it could be “maxed out.” The president’s admission, after touting the aircraft at a June press conference as “the world’s most luxurious plane,” came after a reporter asked why he was flying on an aircraft that lacked antimissile defense systems usually employed to defend the president. Trump answered, “It has a lot of capability, but as I understand it, in about a month or so, they’re going to send it to have it be maxed out.” The New York Times’s Maggie Haberman wrote in Monday’s paper, “It was not clear what specific upgrades Mr. Trump was referring to, or whether the time frame he gave of a month until it is ready was realistic.” Haberman added, “Nonetheless, it appeared to be an admission from the president that the plane’s security measures are not as extensive as the models that have been designed to be built from the ground up to serve as Air Force One.” Those models built specifically for presidential use “are intended to be a flying Oval Office, with antimissile defenses and a hardening of the plane’s wiring to protect it from an electromagnetic pulse in case there is a nuclear strike,” Haberman wrote. “The planes can also refuel in midair and contain a medical suite that can treat the president.” The president’s comments matter in light of the Times’s reporting earlier this month “that the new jet, which he flew to Turkey, lacks the same defensive countermeasures as the older model, including antimissile capabilities.” Following the Times’s coverage, “The White House directed the F.B.I. director to oversee an investigation into how The Times obtained the information. That resulted in the subpoenas being served to several reporters involved in the coverage, with federal agents showing up at their homes to hand-deliver them, as opposed to sending the subpoenas to the newspaper’s lawyers.” The FBI’s actions drew the ire of press freedom advocates who decried what they claimed were First Amendment abuses.

John Amis/AP Professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau reportedly wanted to get President Donald Trump involved when he was recently penalized at the Open Championship. In the second round of the Open this past weekend, DeChambeau was given a two-stroke penalty for “inadvertently improving his lie” on the fifth hole. DeChambeau was reportedly so upset that he threatened to not return to play the next day. He later took things a step further when he requested the President of the United States be involved in his efforts to protest the ruling. A Monday report from The Telegraph read: In his “Quadrilateral” Substack (a publishing platform), respected journalist and course architect Geoff Shackelford claims that in the 30-minute discussions with the R&A – including chief executive Mark Darbon – DeChambeau requested Trump’s involvement. It was ultimately denied, as were DeChambeau’s animated pleas to avoid the penalty. On Saturday, Darbon was asked if he had received a call from Trump, who he has dealt with before because of Trump’s attempts to persuade the R&A to take the Open back to Turnberry, the links he owns in Ayrshire. “No,” Darbon said. “I have not received a call from president Trump, and we’ll see what happens from here.” DeChambeu’s request came in the wake of Trump’s controversial involvement in the FIFA World Cup. U.S. star Folarin Balogun received a red card in the team’s match against Bosnia and Herzegovina, triggering an automatic suspension for the next round. Days later, FIFA decided to suspend the red card to allow Balogun to play. Trump later confirmed he called FIFA President Gianni Infantino personally and asked for a review of the incident.The post Bryson DeChambeau Reportedly Threatened to Call Trump After He Was Penalized at Open Championship first appeared on Mediaite.
