Intriguingly, Fox News has lately been hitting Donald Trump with terrible polling news. In recent days, Fox has found Democrats slightly ahead in Senate races in Maine, Texas, and Iowa, and up by a lot in North Carolina. Critically, Trump's own favorability numbers are very bad in all those states, even though he won three of them, two by double digits. In all four, his numbers among independents are shockingly awful. Meanwhile, on the Iran war—which is central to why his standing is cratering—Trump aides are privately feeding him hopium. The Atlantic reports that they're showing him data on Iran's economy, which supposedly illustrates that if he does nothing and bides his time, Iran will surrender any day now. Doing nothing is the smart play, sir! Yet as Democratic strategist Caitlin Legacki argues in this episode, Trump's inaction on Iran is a big albatross for GOP Senate candidates. Legacki explains why Iran is central to the battle for the Senate, why those Fox polls should give Democrats grounds for cautious optimism, and what could still go wrong for them.  Learn more about your ad choices.

GOP Senate candidate Michele Tafoya said in an interview yesterday that she's talked to hundreds of Minnesotans who are embarrassed to tell people where they're from due to all the fraud and mismanagement in the state. Jason asks listeners if they feel the same?

Our in-house Republican strategist just said MAGA is "breaking and being exposed for the fraud that it was." This week, on Political Rehab, all five stories were the same story: Republicans at war with Republicans.Trump's cabinet turned on itself in public — Jeanine Pirro's office dropped every reflecting pool vandalism case after admitting the damage was botched no-bid contractor work, and she and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum are now openly blaming each other. Trump reportedly exploded at Pete Hegseth over severe missile and interceptor shortages, Hegseth blamed his own deputy, and Trump is threatening prison for whoever leaked it. The online right turned on its own DHS Secretary, Mark Wayne Mullen, for the sin of saying "legal immigration" out loud. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tucker Carlson convened a cabin meeting in Maine that has MAGA talking openly about a third party and a Carlson 2028 run. And Trump demanded the Senate cancel its August recess over the SAVE Act — only for John Thune to walk out the door anyway.Then in The Battlefield: the generic ballot hits Democrats +7.2 — ahead of where they were at this point in 2018 — Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan primary win scrambles the Senate map, and 61,000 Michigan Democrats voted for a candidate who had dropped out a month earlier. That last number tells you something important about American politics.Matt Robison is a former Chief of Staff to three Democratic Members of Congress.

On this Salcedo Storm Podcast:Ken Paxton, conservative AG of Texas and GOP Senate nominee.

In this episode of The Charlie James Show, host Charlie James criticizes Republican political figures, including John Thune, Tom Tillis, and John Cornyn, arguing that they actively impede President Donald Trump's agenda instead of standing up against opposition. He addresses allegations surrounding government weaponization, political double standards, and national security leaks, while defending figures like Pete Hegseth against media speculation. The discussion shifts to caller reactions concerning public health measures and vaccine mandates. Callers reflect on employment pressures, medical privacy concerns, and rising COVID-19 cases in China, comparing past pandemic protocols to historical civil liberties. Additionally, James provides detailed instructions for South Carolina voters regarding early voting procedures and polling locations ahead of the upcoming primary elections, urging listeners to verify their local polling information on official state portals.

Join Jim and Greg for the Thursday 3 Martini Lunch as they discuss a Democratic identity politics clash over the 2028 primary calendar, why Michele Tafoya is way ahead in Minnesota's GOP Senate primary, New Jersey registering noncitizens to vote, and an Arizona House race with a New York Jets twist.First, Jim and Greg watch identity politics turn inward as South Carolina and Nevada battle over the 2028 Democratic primary schedule. South Carolina Democratic chair Christale Spain warned that elevating Nevada tells Black voters they matter less than "brown voters." Greg notes identity politics always eats its own.Next, they cover good news in Minnesota, where friend of the show Michele Tafoya leads the Republican U.S. Senate primary with 41 percent. Jim and Greg praise her polished delivery and anti-fraud campaign ad, though they worry Mike Lindell's lead in the governor's primary could weigh down the ticket.Then, they dig into New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitting a Motor Vehicle Commission software error registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote and allowed roughly 400 illegal votes. Jim questions why officials hid the two-year-old glitch, while Greg argues voter registration should not be a casual DMV add-on.Finally, they highlight an Arizona toss-up congressional race featuring a New York Jets connection. Former NFL kicker Jay Feely won the GOP primary in the 1st Congressional District and will likely face Democrat Amish Shah, the team's former doctor. Jim and Greg note the winner could help determine control of the U.S. House. Please visit our great sponsors: LarinecoRight now, Larineco is offering our listeners up to 50% off at https://BuyLarine.com/3MLNoble GoldOwn the metal the future depends on with the help of Noble Gold.

Jon Herold opens a quieter Monday with the weekend's biggest shock, Senator Lindsey Graham's sudden death, and works through Trump's on camera tributes alongside the swirl of conspiracy chatter, replacement speculation for South Carolina's seat, and how the loss squeezes an already razor thin GOP Senate majority. He also revisits the ongoing Mitch McConnell health mystery and a widely shared "hostage photo" that fans are picking apart for signs of manipulation. Elsewhere, Jon breaks down Trump letting the housing bill become law without his signature, a curious international statement on Colombia's elections that echoes 2020 US election fraud arguments, a new Pentagon task force targeting media leaks, and Trump's declaration that the US will guard the Strait of Hormuz. A Kash Patel meme mishap, some sponsor reads, and a good chunk of live chat banter keep the mood light despite the heavier news.

Texas Attorney General and Republican candidate for Senate, Ken Paxton's marriage fell apart two years ago when his wife accused him of having an affair and she moved out of the house they shared. According to new reporting from the Texas Tribune and ProPublica, the address of that house is still on Paxton's voting registration even though he hasn't lived there for years and does not appear to be going back. Zach Despart, Texas Tribune investigative reporter, talks with Jen Psaki about why Paxton may have committed voter fraud, and why that would be an especially rich irony. Graham Platner's time as Maine Democrats' candidate for Senate appears to be about to end, with another brutal round of reports of sexual impropriety. But Platner has been underperforming as a candidate anyway, so replacing him may be to Democrats' advantage if they can pick a good candidate. But how do they choose a new candidate in the short time they have, and straddle the requirements of mainstream Democratic politics while incorporating the renegade, grassroots spirit that has become a hallmark for a party in transition. Jim Messina, campaign manager for former President Barack Obama, and Amy Walter, publisher and editor-in-chief of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, talk with Jen Psaki about how the Democratic Party should navigate a potential Platner exit. Rep. Debbie Dingell joins to discuss the contentious Democratic primary in Michigan.   To listen to this show and other MS podcasts without ads, sign up for MS NOW Premium on Apple Podcasts.

This is a special one. Adel Nero opens by announcing that June will be the final month of Taking it Back on Thursdays, closing out a show that has been on the air since 2019. From there, he and Zak Paine dive into a news mix that swings from the absurd to the strategically consequential. They open with the New York Democrats officially replacing the words mother and father in custody law with gestating parent and non-gestating parent, then pivot to the DC exorcist who was fired for publicly suggesting UFOs are actually demons. The conversation deepens into a real breakdown of why the GOP Senate is freaking out over Trump's weaponization fund and his appointment of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence. Zak makes the case that Pulte is a Scaramucci style wrecking ball, an outsider with no loyalty to the intel agencies, and his very presence is already torpedoing the FISA reauthorization fight. They close with the California primary and why both guys think a major election integrity reveal may finally be near. Last call vibes, big topics.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan opens with the latest on "deal or no deal" with Iran, as the U.S. and Tehran remain far apart on a peace agreement over Iran's enriched nuclear material and its demand to control the Strait of Hormuz, while the Pentagon prepares for renewed military action if talks fail. He also covers growing signs of U.S. pressure on Cuba, including the arrival of the USS Nimitz strike group in the Caribbean, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's recent trip to Havana, and the DOJ indictment of former Cuban leader Raul Castro. Bryan then turns to a deepening investigation into Neville Roy Singham, the Communist activist living in Shanghai under China's protection, whose money allegedly supports socialist and leftist groups across the United States, including networks tied to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Plus, Bryan breaks down socialist backlash in Seattle and New York as wealthy residents and major companies threaten to leave over tax hikes, the 42-year prison sentence for Feeding Our Future fraud figure Aimee Bock, and a major clash between President Trump and GOP senators over the SAVE Act, the filibuster, and Trump's legislative agenda. He closes with updates on China's looming critical mineral export controls, Trump's new $2 billion quantum computing push, Ebola in Congo, Hantavirus research in the Pacific Northwest, and promising cancer research on pancreatic tumors and vitamin D for breast cancer surgery recovery.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Iran peace deal Strait of Hormuz nuclear material 2026, Trump Iran war Pentagon targeting list Hormuz mines, USS Nimitz Cuba Caribbean Raul Castro DOJ indictment, CIA Director John Ratcliffe Havana Cuba negotiations, Neville Roy Singham China Communist funding investigation, Seattle wealth tax Katie Wilson Starbucks Tennessee move, Zohran Mamdani NYC wealth tax free groceries, Feeding Our Future fraud Aimee Bock 42 years prison, Trump GOP Senate fight SAVE Act filibuster John Thune, China critical minerals export controls June 2026, Trump quantum computing IBM investment, Ebola Congo outbreak Hantavirus Washington Idaho, pancreatic cancer inflammation treatment vitamin D breast cancer surgery, Bryan Dean Wright podcast, The Wright Report
