Screenshot Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) finally weighed in on whether Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) should remain on the ballot following his daughter accusing Miller of domestic violence. Emily Moreno made very public and disturbing allegations against Miller as part of their divorce proceedings earlier in the year. NOTUS reporter Adora Brown reported on Friday that the Ohio senator told her, “I don’t know,” when asked if Miller is fit to stand for reelection. Miller is currently in a tight fight for reelection, and Ohio has become a key battleground for Democrats eyeing both the governorship and a U.S. Senate seat in the state. “While we won’t dignify this baseless attacks by Democrats and their media allies, Senator Moreno will not speak on active litigation involving his family,” Reagan McCarthy, a spokesperson for Moreno, also told NOTUS in a statement. Emily Moreno has accused Miller of having “scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder,” according to a recent New York Times report. Miller has vehemently denied the allegations and filed a defamation suit against his ex-wife. Miller attacked the Ohio senator in a social media post in May, however, dragging their family fight very much out into the public, writing, “It is unfortunate that @berniemoreno continues to fund and enable his daughter’s malicious campaign to ruin my life despite his knowledge of her mental health issues. Bernie, this must be distracting from your job. These antics harm your own grandchild. Anytime you want to put a stop to this, you can. ” Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who dated Miller in 2019 and 2020 while they both worked for Trump, also accused Miller of domestic abuse, resulting in various lawsuits between the pair.The post GOP Senator Says ‘I Don’t Know’ If House Republican Accused of Abusing His Daughter Should Stay On Ballot first appeared on Mediaite.

Screenshot via X. MAGA Influencer Benny Johnson got absolutely shredded on social media Friday for a tweet crowing that country music was beating rap on the charts and calling it a win for “American culture.” Johnson, who has cheerfully profited as he’s promoted many a right-wing cause célèbre and conspiracy theory over the years, is no stranger to ragebait posts. His latest attempt at a hot take highlighted the number of country music songs topping the charts recently, and made an unusual claim about the cause. Rap music has vanished from the top charts after USAID was defunded. Instead, country music has DOMINATED for 40 straight weeks Ella Langley 'Choosin Texas' just shattered records for time spent at #1 – dethroning Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey American Culture is winning pic.twitter.com/5O8755dzFn — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) July 30, 2026 “Rap music has vanished from the top charts after USAID was defunded,” wrote Johnson. “Instead, country music has DOMINATED for 40 straight weeks. Ella Langley ‘Choosin Texas’ just shattered records for time spent at #1 – dethroning Whitney Houston & Mariah Carey.” “American Culture is winning,” he concluded, with the requisite American flag emoji. The entire premise of Johnson’s tweet — claiming that the cuts to USAID by the Elon Musk-run DOGE tanked rap’s chart rankings — is “total nonsense,” wrote Rolling Stone’s Nikki McCann Ramirez. The timing somewhat coincides, Ramirez acknowledged, but to claim one caused the other only “seems plausible if you squint real hard, ignore actual streaming data, and also common sense.” “There’s also a very blatant element of racism undergirding the whole thing,” she added; Johnson also gloated about Langley’s song “dethroning” two Black female singers, Houston and Carey. And it isn’t even accurate, Ramirez pointed out: While Langley has held the top spot for an impressive 40 weeks, the genre has not “disappeared” from the charts for that same amount of time, as some right wingers are claiming. On July 31, Drake, Lil Baby and Young Miami all held spots in the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Mac Miller, Ty Dolla $ign, Don Toliver, BabyChiefDoit, and a slew of other artists made the list. Other commentators pointed out the glaring lack of proof for the claim rap’s popularity in the U.S. was due to USAID funding, namely that USAID “has funded programs that involve rap music, but these programs were… [TheTopNews] Read More.50 mins ago - Fox Poll: Nearly a Quarter of Non-MAGA Republicans Support Talarico in Texas Sen...
A new Fox News poll released Thursday suggests Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is making inroads with Republican voters, with 24% of non-MAGA Republicans saying they support him over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. 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. The poll, which shows Talarico leading Paxton 51 to 48%, randomly sampled 1,006 Texas registered voters, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. Fox News’ Garrett Tenney said Friday that these results “give the [Democratic] Party some hope” that they could win in Texas, explaining, “The brutal GOP primary with John Cornyn is having a lingering impact on how voters feel about Ken Paxton — particularly Republican voters.” He continued: While 98% of Democrats support James Talarico, along with 68% of independents, only 89% of Republicans are behind Paxton. And when you break down those GOP voters, nearly a quarter of non-MAGA Republicans said they support Talarico. Why is that? Well, one reason is that more voters are concerned Paxton lacks the character to serve than they are that Talarico is too extreme. 36% of Republicans and 59% of voters overall said they are extremely or very concerned that Paxton lacks character, while only 17%. of Democrats and 47% of voters overall said they’re at least very concerned Talarico is too extreme. Tenney went on to note that Democrats have not won a statewide election in Texas in 32 years. And still, as the Fox News poll notes, “about 8 in 10 Paxton and Talarico supporters say their backing is more about where the candidates stand on the issues than who they are as people.” Watch the clip above via Fox News.The post Fox Poll: Nearly a Quarter of Non-MAGA Republicans Support Talarico in Texas Senate Race first appeared on Mediaite.

Trump made the remarks during a ranging call-in interview on right-wing broadcaster Real America’s Voice, when host Steve Gruber raised the president’s long-running campaign to bring the Arctic territory under American control. “Here’s another question. You’re also still looking at Greenland,” Gruber said. “I made a prediction on this program that before you left office that Greenland would be under our operational control. It’s still incredibly important to defending the Western Hemisphere, isn’t it?” Trump responded by expressing confidence in the prediction: “Yeah, you’ll be right if you took that. Yeah, you’ll be right. No, we want to do something very important. Greenland’s important, you know, from our standpoint, not from their standpoint, but from our standpoint. You should make that bet actually.” After Gruber replied, “I did make that bet and I think it’s incredibly important,” Trump answered simply: “Good.” The exchange is the latest indication that Trump continues to pursue the idea of expanding U.S. influence over Greenland, a self-governing territory within the Kingdom of Denmark that has repeatedly rejected suggestions it could become part of the U.S. Trump has argued throughout his second term that American control of Greenland is necessary for national security, citing the island’s strategic position in the Arctic amid growing competition with Russia and China. Speaking at a NATO summit in early July, Trump again insisted the territory was critical to U.S. interests but “not important to Denmark.” “We need it for protection of the world, not just the United States,” he said at the time. Earlier in his term, he declined to rule out using military force to secure what he described as America’s “right, title and ownership” of the island, though he has since said military options are no longer under consideration.

- Fetterman Predicts Trump’s AG Nominee Goes Down In Flames: ‘Don’t See Him ...Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) predicted on Friday’s episode of The Arena With Kasie Hunt that the confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s attorney general pick will go down in flames. Hunt asked about the confirmation hearing for acting AG Todd Blanche, as lame-duck Senate Republicans have drawn Trump’s ire over their refusal to confirm unless they get written confirmation that Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund is completely dead. “When you look at the landscape, are there more Republicans than meet the eye who are opposed to the Blanche nomination over these issues that [John] Cornyn and [Thom] Tillis have raised?” Hunt asked. “And is that number potentially five senators or more like 15?” “I’m a hard no on Blanche, and I mean, I haven’t encountered a single…Republican that’s like, ‘Oh, I love that $1.8 billion slush fund,’ or whatever you want to refer to it at all. It doesn’t make any sense. I mean, it’s unconstitutional, honestly, from what it seems. And I don’t see him being confirmed,” Fetterman said, continuing: And if anything, I think he’s going to serve as “acting,” or whatever the term, you know, as long as statutorily he’s able to do that, ’cause I don’t see him being confirmed, because there just aren’t any votes. I mean, he incinerated the careers of several Republicans, Cornyn, [Bill] Cassidy and, well, Tillis, too. So, that’s three right there in play. And Senator McConnell, of course, is ill. So, I mean, the math’s just not there, and there aren’t any Democrats certainly that are going to support this. “And do you think that there are more Republicans beyond the ones that you just named that also don’t want to vote yes on Todd Blanche, just aren’t willing to say that in public?” Hunt asked. “That I don’t know, but, because I think they all realize that the math really aren’t there now,” Fetterman said. “And as long — I truly don’t know how long he can serve there. You know, ‘acting’ right now, but I think effectively, he, right now, and he is acting. So is it really much difference? But I really don’t see him being confirmed, at least certainly through the end of the year, honestly. I mean, Trump has zero leverage, whether if it’s Cornyn, or if it’s Cassidy, or Tillis, or these senators that are leaving.” Watch the clip above via CNN.The… [TheTopNews] Read More.1 hour ago
