New polling data suggests that a Senate race in a state Trump won by double digits could fall to Democrats in the midterms.

Incumbent Republican Sen. Jon Husted is facing a challenge from former three-term Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown, who lost his 2024 bid for reelection. But now just two years after President Donald Trump carried Ohio by 11 percentage points in the 2024 election, Brown is leading Husted by an eight-point margin 53% to 45%, according to a Fox News poll released Wednesday.

Brown has 98% of support among Democrats, whereas Husted only has the support of 86% of support among Republicans, according to the poll.

Fifty-seven percent of Ohio residents view Trump negatively, while 42% still hold a favorable opinion, the poll found. Husted’s ratings are comparable to Trump’s ratings in the state, as 50% view him unfavorably and 41% view him favorably. Brown, on the other hand, holds a 53% favorable rating and 44% unfavorable rating.

Less than three weeks after Virginia Democrats lost their congressional redistricting fight in court, the party’s top leaders spent the weekend publicly battling over data centers and a state budget that remains unfinished.

Senate Finance Chair Louise Lucas blasted Gov. Abigail Spanberger and House Speaker Don Scott after budget negotiations broke down Friday, accusing fellow Democrats of protecting data center interests while refusing to make the industry pay more for the costs associated with its rapid growth across Virginia.

The disagreement quickly turned personal and public.

“Fraud warnings were elevated to the most senior levels of the Minnesota state government, meaningful corrective action was delayed or avoided.”

A Republican-led House Oversight Committee report has alleged that the fraud that has been highlighted in Minnesota’s social services programs was caused by year of inaction from Democrat Governor Tim Walz, Minnesota AG Keith Ellison, and other officials, allowing for the siphoning off of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds going to fraud. The report found that fears of getting called “racist” also contributed to the inaction.

Fraud warnings were elevated to the most senior levels of the Minnesota state government, meaningful corrective action was delayed or avoided, and payments continued long after credible signs of fraud emerged,” the report read in part.

A federal judge struck down a Trump administration immigration policy that tightened requirements for immigrants from dozens of countries seeking to enter or remain in the United States.

District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. invalidated the policy in a sharply worded ruling that accused US Citizenship and Immigration Services of exceeding its legal authority and failing to follow required administrative procedures.

The policy was enacted after the shooting of two National Guard members and affected immigrants from 39 countries.

In his ruling, McConnell argued that the administration’s actions left immigrants facing uncertainty about their legal status and failed to comply with federal law.

“Israel and Iran must immediately stop ‘shooting,’” he posted to Truth Social early Monday morning.

Last Friday, President Trump made time during his trip to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin for an extended sit-down interview with NBC’s Meet the Press moderator Kristen Welker, but was derailed several times by pounding rain on the roof of the facility, heated exchanges, and a premature ending as Trump abruptly walked out because he was tired of dealing with such a “crooked” network.

Welker pressed Trump on the war with Iran, and asked if he broke his promise of no new wars, which grew a bit confrontational.

TRUMP: No. I had to stop a country, very powerful, very dangerous country, from having a nuclear weapon because they’d use it. They’d blow up the world. They’d blow up the Middle East. They’d blow up Israel. They’d come here. They’d blow up Europe. They’re nuts, okay?…It’s America first. I’m doing our country a service.

(….)

WELKER: So, you’re saying you didn’t break your promise. And yet, Mr. President, in your first term, you held to that promise, and it was so fundamental to who you were as a candidate, to a first-term president. What changed? Because you insisted “no new wars.”

TRUMP: Well, well. First of all, I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world? I built our military. I inherited a terrible military. We had no equipment. We had nothing. I built a tremendous military. Biden gave a lot of it away, but it’s still a relatively small portion compared to what I built.

WELKER: But you said it over and over again, Mr. President.

TRUMP: Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Why would I build a military — Now, I didn’t want to use this, but I’m doing you and everybody else a big favor….I know you, you’re a big liberal, a big progressive.

WELKER: No!

TRUMP: But we were —

WELKER: I’m just a journalist.

Iran lashed out at its neighbors Saturday after U.S. forces downed missiles Iran launched at targets in the Strait of Hormuz.

“U.S. forces intercepted multiple Iranian ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran toward the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf neighbors,” U.S. Central Command posted on X.

“Iran fired seven ballistic missiles toward Kuwait and Bahrain hours after U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) shot down four Iranian one-way attack drones that were launched toward the Strait of Hormuz,” CENTCOM said.

“The attack drones posed an immediate threat to regional maritime traffic. U.S. forces subsequently struck Iranian coastal surveillance radar sites in Goruk and on Qeshm Island to defend against further maritime attacks.”

The post said Iran’s missile attacks achieved nothing.

NORMANDY, France — U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth warned about the invasion of Europe by third-world migrants in a Saturday speech commemorating the 82nd anniversary of D-Day. Hegseth spoke at the Normandy American Cemetery, where thousands of Americans are buried. All but one died storming the beaches on D-Day or in the subsequent Battle of Normandy during World War II.

“Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria,” Hegseth said. “Boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not.”

Twenty-nine WWII veterans attended the ceremony, and 107-year-old Arthur Rose, a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy on D-Day, read a letter he sent home days after the invasion. French and American flags whipped on their poles as wind blasted through the cemetery and waves of rain and sunshine alternated, giving Hegseth an appropriate backdrop to offer a stark warning to Europe: They face yet another existential crisis today, this time from third-world migrants intent on destroying the West.

As the Texas Senate race heats up between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton, BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey feels compelled to remind Texas voters of Talarico’s moral failings — which are anything but small.

These moral failures are reflected even in the church he attends, St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin, which was recently exposed by the Daily Wire for having “explicit LGBTQ books in its bookstore aimed at children.”

Stuckey calls the books “basically pornographic,” as they contained “illustrations of sexual acts.”

If you hope to appeal to the average voter, the last thing a candidate should be doing is throwing around a basketball, promising things that don’t make sense. But that is precisely what several New York Democrats did, as they beg voters to cast their ballots in their favor, as the election is on June 21.

The ad starts with Mayor Zohran Mamdani claiming “anything is possible with a great team,” right before passing the ball to Brad Lander. Lander claims he will block billionaires from buying elections. It is unclear how he will have the power to prevent people from doing that, but that is because it is just another leftist lie to give people hope that their vote matters. He claims this will protect Democracy. However, for some reason, whenever the left claims to be fighting for Democracy, it almost always seems to destroy it. Why do you think that is?

Lander then passed the ball to Darializa Avila Chevalier, who claims she will defend New York by abolishing ICE. It is not known how you can defend the people of your city by fighting for foreign nationals who have broken federal immigration laws, but that is because you cannot. By pretending to fight for New Yorkers, she has proven who she truly intends to represent, and it certainly is not you — the American people. But what else is new?

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli is accusing California of blocking a federal audit of its voter rolls as accusations of a rigged primary election swirl.

Woke Los Angeles Mayoral Candidate Nithya Raman, who previously conceded defeat, surged into second place over the weekend with the help of late mail-in ballots, bumping popular Republican trailblazer Spencer Pratt into third place.

As of Monday, Raman led Pratt by roughly 3,000 votes with about 83 percent of post-election ballots received.

Thanks to four Republican Senators, efforts by the GOP to pass the SAVE Act failed once again. The Act would make Voter ID mandatory. Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) attempted to add it as an amendment to DHS funding bills, but the provision failed thanks to four GOP no votes.

The media landscape continues to be roiled by the dismissal of longtime newsman Scott Pelley from “60 Minutes” and from CBS News entirely. Pelley’s tenure at the network has ended, but the collective wailing in the news industry continues.

Ridgway stated that he and his wife researched Down syndrome and decided that it would be best for both the child and for his family if the baby was killed in the womb—and noted that over 90 percent of children diagnosed with Down syndrome are aborted:

50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life.

To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you,” Ridgway added, despite the fact that he and his wife aborted their baby specifically because she had Down syndrome. “You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice.

“The city of Saint Paul has officially determined the January 18 invasion of our church and the desecration of our worship to be a ‘peaceful protest.'”

The lead pastor of Cities Church in St Paul, Minnesota, has criticized the city’s mayor after agitators who stormed the church in January, including former CNN reporter Don Lemon, have avoided state charges related to the incident.

In a statement on Wednesday, city attorney Irene Kao said, “Our office has a legal and ethical obligation to file charges only when the available evidence establishes probable cause and supports a reasonable likelihood of conviction beyond a reasonable doubt.”

She said that following a “careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes.” She added, “The right to peacefully protest is protected, as is the right to exercise one’s religious beliefs. Balancing these equally important rights is paramount to our decision today.”

The mystery surrounding a missing New Mexico nuclear scientist has deepened dramatically after new details emerged about her death, raising fresh questions in a case that has already drawn the attention of federal investigators and President Donald Trump.

As Slay News reported earlier this week, Melissa Casias, a 54-year-old employee of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), was found dead in a remote section of New Mexico’s Carson National Forest nearly a year after she vanished without a trace.

Now, reports indicate that Casias suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was discovered alongside a firearm, details that are fueling speculation and skepticism about what really happened.

It’s Pride Month, so Democrats are not only donning the rainbow flag, they’re continuing their work to erase gendered language from our lexicon and destroy the nuclear family. In New York, a bill was just advanced that would replace the terms ‘mother’ and ‘father’ with the Orwellian ‘gestating parent’ and ‘non-gestating parent.

Here’s more:

A woke new bill erases the terms “mother” and “father” from state child custody and parental laws — a gender-neutral rewriting that’s expected to spark a flood of similarly clunky legislation.

“Mother” would be replaced with “gestating parent” while “father” becomes “non-gestating parent” or “parent” in family court along with in domestic and education law, under the legislation, passed this week by state Democrats.

“Paternity” proceedings to determine a child’s biological father would meanwhile become “parentage” cases, under the bill, which was rammed through the Assembly in March and of the Senate this week.

A “putative father” — also known as a deadbeat dad — would now be called “an alleged parent” in official state records, under the bill, which was sponsored by liberals Sen. Luis Sepulveda (D-Bronx) and Assemblywoman Amy Paulin (D-Westchester) and will go to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk for approval.

“It’s woke culture run amok. It’s one-upmanship,” said state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar, a former longtime state Senate and Assembly staffer.

VRF is a “referendum committee” that has already raised $500,000 and plans to pour millions more into Virginia to persuade voters to support the abortion ballot initiative. We believe Virginia case law is clear that they have no right to intervene.
