Fetterman Rejects Party-Switch Talk, Dodges 51st-Vote Query
Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., defended his Democratic identity at the Texas Tribune's annual festival on Saturday but declined to say how he'd cast a decisive 51st vote if Democrats retake the Senate majority in November. At the closing keynote of the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin, Fetterman told CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett that Democratic control of the Senate was entirely possible but declined to commit on how he would use his leverage if it did. "Let's revisit after the midterms, and let's see what happens," he said. The exchange followed weeks of speculation about whether the first-term Democrat might caucus with Republicans. Fetterman was again the lone Democrat to vote against a Senate war powers resolution on the U.S. war in Iran on Thursday and has repeatedly broken with his caucus over arms sales to Israel. Anger among Democratic colleagues escalated earlier this month when Fetterman appeared in a prerecorded video at the Republican National Committee's midterm convention in Dallas, introducing his home-state colleague, GOP Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., as a "great friend" and pledging to work with President Donald Trump on the state's steel industry. Days later, Fetterman snapped at reporters on Capitol Hill who pressed him about defection. "I'm not going to be a Republican," the senator said, urging them to wait until the midterms. He repeated the pledge Saturday: "I've said I have no path as a Republican." Later that evening, an audience member asked why he had not registered as an independent. "Because I'm a lifelong Republican," the senator replied, prompting a quick correction from Garrett. Fetterman laughed and acknowledged the slip would spread, saying he was "a lifelong Democrat though." Jim Thomas ✉Jim Thomas is a writer based in Indiana.

Karoline Leavitt Dishes on Trump's Humiliation of World Leader. This is Priceless.
 |
Former Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is back in the media spotlight. But this time it's not because she's dropping bombs on hapless CNN correspondents who can't get their stories straight. This time, Leavitt was on Sean Hannity's podcast called "Hang Out with Hannity." It was a cozy interview that had Leavitt retelling a lot of anecdotes. One story must have been fairly painful for the few Brits who remember ex-prime minister Keir Starmer fondly. "How brutally honest will he be with them? How hard will he be on them?" Hannity asked. "Yeah. I mean, with Starmer, I remember sitting in a lunch," she said. "I think we were at um maybe Windsor Castle. I don't remember exactly where we were. Maybe we were at where Keir Starmer lived. Umm, but we were in the UK." "Actually, it was a year ago today," she continued. "My memories popped up on my phone. We were in the UK. And I sat in on a lunch with the president and Starmer." "Uh, and we're sitting around the table and we're all enjoying lunch and we're in this beautiful place and the president just starts ripping into him for his policies," she went on. "He's like, 'Your policies here are so stupid. You need to close your borders.'" "Says it just like that," Hannity said. "Oh yeah," she answered. "You need to deport these people you have in your country. You know, I know your country. I know your people. They hate what you're doing. And you need to... And Starmer’s just sitting there..." "Do you find it entertaining?" he asked. "And this is in his house, in his country. We're not even at the White House. Like we're not even on our own territory and he's just..." "Do you find it entertaining?" he repeated. "Of course," she said. "I remember Stephen Miller and I looking at each other like, 'Oh boy, here we go'." While this may seem like an innocent and unsurprising comment, not everyone was thrilled with it. Newsmax's Greg Kelly unloaded on it. "Unbelievable," Kelly wrote on X. "So now that she’s an Ex press secretary, Karoline (with a K) Leavitt GOSSIPS about PRIVATE meetings the President had with world leaders? We’re in the middle of MIDTERM MADNESS and Karoline (with a K) “dishes” Without a Care In the World. A BREACH of Trust: The President’s, and the Nation’s. So IMMATURE!" While some commenters were quick to point out that Donald Trump humiliating Keir Starmer on certain occasions is kind of old news, this is a more in-depth look at what went down at this particular state dinner than previously reported. But Leavitt has pointed out that there isn't a substantive difference between what Trump says about world leaders in private and what he says in public. "What he says to the media publicly is exactly what he's saying behind the scenes privately, too. In fact, much of what he says privately at some point is going to become public when he speaks to the press, because he's just candid, and he's honest," Leavitt said. "What he says with these foreign leaders behind the scenes is exactly what he tells the media five minutes later when he does a press conference. There's no games," she added. Leavitt also said that the president uses colorful language a lot in his talks with world leaders, but he tends to be more straightforward with translator-assisted discussions. In August, Leavitt announced she was stepping down as Press Secretary to spend more time with her family. She gave birth to her second child in May. Leavitt wrote about the decision in a post on X: "Serving as the White House Press Secretary over the past year and a half has been the honor and adventure of a lifetime," Leavitt wrote.

CNN Gets Nailed by Another Media Outlet Over Its Latest Claim About Pool Coverage
 |
CNN has not been handling the media controversy with President Donald Trump well. As we noted earlier, CNN was spreading yet another bunch of bunk on Friday, claiming "advisors" were encouraging Trump to declare martial law. And they wonder why people don't trust them and don't believe they have any credibility. But they kept going on Saturday as they spoke about Trump's trip to Knoxville, TN, to see the Texas Longhorns vs. Tennessee Volunteers college football game.
CNN's Fredricka Whitfield claimed that CNN had been cut off from doing the pool coverage on that trip by the White House and that "no outlet has been tapped to replace CNN, which means limited coverage of his trip." But Real America's Voice (RAV) explained they had been tapped to do the coverage. So that claim by CNN was untrue. They said they had a "publicly available pool feed for ANY network that chooses to cover the President." Media analyst Brian Stelter claimed to Whitfield that Trump was "trying to control news coverage." "He is picking a fight with the people who are telling unpleasant truths about his administration," Stelter said. Stelter whined that CNN was the one having to deal with this, but it could be any media outlet. Um, Brian? You guys don't seem to want to admit the "unpleasant truth" that RAV did the pool feed instead of you. Why is that? And I didn't notice any drop in coverage because of it. Why would anyone believe CNN at this point?

Sharia Law: It’s No Day at the Beach
 |
Because my grandparents ran a seasonal hotel in Myrtle Beach for three decades, I’ve vacationed there most summers of my life. I’ve seen a lot of change over the years, but recently I noticed something new: Muslim women swimming in the ocean, garbed in full burqa coverings. Of course, Islamic families are as welcome at the beach as anyone. But the dynamics visible between the Islamic couples were striking: The men were there, sunning in normal swimsuits. But the women stood to the side, garbed in black from head to toe in sweltering 100-degree heat, waiting for a flick of a husband’s finger cueing the wife to get him a beverage from the cooler. When the women did get into the ocean, I thought about how heavy it all must be: Swimming in yards of fabric soaked in water. Clearly, a day at the beach for an Islamic man is vastly different from that of an observant (or, a forced-to-be-observant) Muslim woman. 😂 “How can 21st-century, ‘liberated’ feminists be OK with this?” I wondered. Islam, Marxists and Democrats: suicidal utilitarianism This election cycle has seen unlikely political unions solidify that have been years in the making. Until just recently, America’s Democrat Party would have had big problems with the human rights abuses of Islam (which include mistreatment of women as part of “canon law”). Even “tax and spend” liberals would have objected to today’s new Marxists’ calls for abolition of a free market economy, private property ownership, law enforcement and the criminalization of wealth accumulation. But Democrats, Muslim activists and Marxists now share at least four common foes. These onerous entities are Donald Trump and Constitutionalism (societally), and Christianity and Israel (spiritually). But 1400 years of Islamic history show that Islam yields ground to nothing. It truly is, “conquer at any cost.” Since the Ayatollah took Iran in 1979, we’ve watched purist Islam slaughter its way to domination. For all American voters who just don’t like the Republicans, let it be said as emphatically as possible: Stoking the presence of Islam is not the answer; if not arrested, it will be the absolute end of the United States. Sharia law as a subset of American law: Will it happen? Will Muslims in the United States someday be able to demand that American courts settle their disputes under Sharia law? Is this a First Amendment “freedom of religion” issue, as Sharia proponents say? What is actually possible under American law? Currently, a Muslim American cannot simply walk into an American courthouse and demand that a judge replace American law with Sharia. American courts are bound by the Constitution, federal and state statutes and the established legal authority of the United States. There is no parallel system of Sharia courts with governmental jurisdiction over American citizens. And there should never be. This is because government generally cannot single out one religion for different treatment under the law. Civil-liberties organizations argue that laws specifically opposing Sharia threaten religious freedom. But there is another constitutional principle that should unwaveringly be pointed out: Religious freedom does not and should not create a parallel source of governmental authority. An American Muslim is free to believe that Sharia represents God’s law just as they are free to worship according to Islamic teachings, consult imams, enter religious marriages, and seek religious counseling according to their traditions. But no American is free to simply demand different laws for use in American courts. Sharia is the ideological opposite of our Constitutional, representative republic, which guarantees protection for individual liberties but not the elevation of liberties above our nation’s laws. To summarize, people may voluntarily conduct their private affairs in ways the law permits, provided that conduct remains subject to American law. The Constitution in no way requires that Muslims receive a special privilege. The First Amendment and “limits of privilege” It is an error to believe that religious freedom requires Americans to tolerate competing governmental systems of law. It does not. People of every faith stand before the law as American citizens. The Constitution does not establish separate courts for separate faiths. Concerns about Sharia are not born of religious discrimination. They are motivated by constitutional convictions. We will not have one law for Muslims and another for all others. We need one law for everybody. Private religious belief deserves the fullest protection the First Amendment provides. But governmental power must remain subject to the Constitution and the duly enacted laws of our nation and states. Let us say it like this: Freedom of religion for every American, special legal privilege for none, and one constitutional rule of law for all. Otherwise, we’re in for some stormy seas.

Trump Terminates Biden's EV Mandate, Promises Cheaper Cars for American Families
President Donald Trump says that he has approved new fuel economy standards that should cut the costs of the vehicle market. “BIG DAY FOR AMERICAN AUTO WORKERS AND CAR BUYERS! I have just approved new Fuel Economy Standards that TERMINATE Sleepy Joe Biden and Pete Boot-EDGE-EDGE's ridiculous EV Mandate,"
Trump wrote on Truth Social. "The Dumocrats cost our Great Auto Manufacturers $Billions, forced Americans into cars they never wanted, and wasted Billions on Chargers that were never built.” The new standards terminate the EPA’s electric vehicle mandate. "These new Standards will take the waste out of building cars in America. That means LOWER PRICES, saving families thousands on a new, beautiful, and safe car," Trump wrote. “Far better than the Environmental Monsters that we were building heretofore. Every Manufacturer, from General Motors to Ford to Stellantis, has called me wanting to build here, and now they can!” The final rule isn’t available yet. Under former President Joe Biden, the EPA had ordered about 67 percent of new light-duty and medium-duty vehicle sales to be electric by 2032. Trump’s administration destroyed the EV subsidy and removed the mandate. — Rapid Response 47 (@RapidResponse47) September 26, 2026
Trump said that tariffs and other policy decisions have driven auto manufacturers back to the U.S. Big Three automaker Stellantis, which owns Jeep, Chrysler, and Ram, has said it will invest $13 billion in Midwest auto factories in Indiana, Ohio, and Michigan.
“Under my Administration, over 100 $Billion is being invested in American Autos, and that's just the beginning,” Trump wrote. “The Plants are coming back, and Jobs are returning, to Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, South Carolina, and all over our Country. Thank you to our Great Secretaries of Transportation and Commerce, Sean Duffy and Howard Lutnick. AMERICA IS BACK. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!” The average price of a new car sold in July was around $50,000, according to Kelley Blue Book.

Trump predicts deal with Cuba: ‘I don't think we'll need the military’
 |
President Donald Trump showed optimism in the United States’ chances of reaching a deal with Cuba instead of using military action after his comments at the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) prompted the Cuban delegation to walk out.
He noted that opening Cuba up to American citizens would benefit the “great Cuban Americans that want to go back.” Americans can travel to Cuba under certain circumstances, with licenses available for 12 categories of travel. The U.S. Embassy in Cuba maintains that tourism to Cuba is prohibited under long-standing U.S. economic sanctions.
Trump’s remark on Saturday echoed his earlier criticism of Cuba at the United Nations (UN) meeting in New York on Tuesday.
He said at the time that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose parents were Cuban immigrants, was engaged in talks with Cuba. Trump also denounced Cuba’s promotion of Marxism after ramping up anti-communism statements in recent months.
The Department of State published a report in July concerning Cuba’s influence over left-wing and communist extremism in the U.S.

Nicki Minaj urges young Americans to 'vote red' in 2026 midterms while doubling down on Trump support
 |
Rap legend Nicki Minaj speaks about President Donald Trump, her upbringing, how she pushed herself to succeed, her previous jobs before reaching rap fame on 'My View with Lara Trump.' Rapper Nicki Minaj urged young Americans to get involved in the upcoming midterm elections and "vote red" while doubling down on her support for President Donald Trump in an interview on Saturday. The Grammy-nominated hip-hop star said on "My View with Lara Trump" that young voters shouldn't assume their voices don't matter as Americans prepare to head to the polls Nov. 3. "Now is not the time to think that your voice will not be heard," Minaj said. "Your voice will not only be heard, but your voice is very necessary right now for the country and for the world. We need you guys involved. We need you guys involved more than ever before. This is your country, this is your world. You are the ones that have to reap the benefits of whatever vote decisions we make now." Minaj encouraged young voters to become engaged in their communities and participate in elections beyond presidential contests. 2026 MIDTERMS STATE OF PLAY: KEY RACES UNFOLD AS STEVENS, EL-SAYED BATTLE IN MICHIGAN  Nicki Minaj addresses attendees during the launch of a program known as Trump Accounts at the Andrew W. Mellon Auditorium in Washington, on Jan. 28, 2026. (Jose Luis Magana/AP) "Think about how much you want a say in what happens and realize that the only way to have that is by voting — not just voting for the president, but just voting in all of the local elections," she said. The music superstar then urged young voters to support Republican candidates in November. "Please, and vote red now," Minaj said.

(REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque) Minaj's midterm message comes as she has become increasingly outspoken about her support for Trump. The "Super Bass" and "Starships" singer also recently partnered with the Trump administration on the Small Business Administration's Million Dollar Pitch Competition, serving as one of the celebrity judges. Trump has praised Minaj, calling her a "fantastic person." During her interview with Lara Trump, Minaj described the president as "a very authentic person" and said his willingness to speak without appearing scripted appeals to her. "He brings this candid, unedited vibe to the White House that we've never before seen," Minaj said. "And it's refreshing because for a very long time, people started feeling like we don't know who we can trust." "When you see someone that goes off script, it's like you come alive again, you feel alive," she continued.

"I've made it my mission to be someone that supports him," Minaj said. Lara Trump noted that Minaj works in an industry where the president is frequently criticized and asked what had shaped her political views along with what she had seen from Democrats that discouraged her.

"I think that they've allowed their relationships with artists to cause them to act like children and to be so petty and childish." Minaj also reflected on arriving in the U.S. and building her music career from very little. "My fan base, they got to see me come from absolutely nothing. They really saw the struggle in real time," she said. "Overall, yes, it has been the American dream," Minaj added. "That's why I love this country."

Dem House hopeful endorsed by activist who said 'evil Jews run the world'
 |
Adina Flores, an activist and a self-proclaimed "civil rights" advocate with a colorful social media presence, is endorsing Eric Jones, the Democratic candidate for Congress in California's 4th Congressional District. The endorsement itself, which focuses on Jones’ promises to combat women’s sexual exploitation, is nothing out of the ordinary. But Flores’ Facebook, Instagram and Substack pages are full of eccentric content that frames political issues as a conflict between race, sexual orientation and secretive sources of influence. The endorsement raises questions for Jones, who has met with Flores multiple times about whether he agrees with Flores’ views, according to social media clips. In one video posted to Facebook, Flores stated she believed part of California, Sonoma County, was run by Jews. "But we’re literally run by the gay Jewish mafia — the Zionists in Sonoma County. The Jews still run the world. That’s where we’re at," Flores said. "All our money gets sent to Israel, but nobody wants to talk about that." JEWISH COMMUNITY IN DENVER ON HIGH ALERT OVER RISE OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST MELAT KIROS "Evil Jews run the world through Masonic Lodges," Flores said in an August Instagram post.
"Santa Rosa City Schools is always recruiting for little gay communists. Help save public school enrollment decline by sending your child off to liberal prison indoctrination centers," she said in another post earlier this year. When asked about Flores' online comments, Jones' campaign said he condemns prejudice toward the Jewish community. "I firmly condemn any and all hate toward our Jewish and LGBTQ+ communities. It has no place in our district. My wife is Jewish. We are raising our kids in a Jewish household. I'm a fierce advocate for our public schools and educators. And I have zero tolerance for hateful commentary toward my neighbors or my family," a campaign spokesperson said in a comment to Fox News Digital. Beyond her comment about Jews, Flores bashes what she sees as efforts to indoctrinate kids in LGBTQ+ ideology through control over institutions like schools and local government in much of her content. "I wasn’t doing any of the wokeness. I stood up for conservative parents. So, right now, look at this pride indoctrination. I’m not trying to be mean, but who made this logo? They got all the rainbow mafia colors, and it looks like a penis," Flores said, holding up a design made by a local school. The image depicts a tree on top of a hill, illustrated in rainbow colors. "Like, literally, that’s where we’re at. So, I’m sorry that’s f---ing cracked out. If your child is in public school, please remove them because they’re going to be gay and retarded. Thank you, Santa Rosa schools," Flores said. Flores' criticisms, usually couched in similar language, cut across both parties. "Every day my Instagram algorithm is filled with reels of Democrats and Republicans arguing back and forth deciding who is more gay and retarded even though they are two sides of the same bird [sic]," Flores said.  Adina Flores speaks at a Cloverdale City Council meeting April 8, 2026. (Cloverdale City) "The real puppet master, as always, the Freemasons. This is not a conspiracy. And that is who is pulling the narrative of both sides — red and blue." Flores recounted that she was once a government employee but was forced out of the role and is banned from serving in public roles again. "I got started in my activism because I am a former government employee. I’m a whistleblower who was forced out of the government." Flores said she was removed over COVID-19 mask mandates and the information that was being shared with parents. For his part, Jones has centered his campaign around issues like affordability, government transparency and protecting government-run programs. On his website, Jones has listed three main priorities: ending corruption, lowering the cost of living and resource sustainability in government. His stances have attracted endorsements from progressive groups like Indivisible and Our Revolution, organizations with ties to progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Throughout his campaign, Jones has highlighted his family’s struggle with financial stability. He grew up in a military family and had a disabled father. According to Jones, the family also struggled to overcome medical debt, relying on Medicaid and food stamps. In her endorsement of Jones, which she made shortly after the resignation of Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., Flores praised Jones’ promise to be a voice for survivors of sexual misconduct. Swalwell, a prominent California Democrat, surrendered his office after several women accused him of unwanted sexual advances, allegations that he denied. WASHINGTON MOTHER PULLS CHILDREN FROM SCHOOL AFTER PRIDE LESSON SHOWN IN MUSIC CLASS WITHOUT NOTICE Eric Jones speaks to a group of supporters. (Eric Jones for Congress) "Thank you for being one of the only candidates — and this is insane because you’re not even in office yet, but you’re talking about this very critical issue, so God bless you, brother," Flores said. After Fox News Digital reached out to Flores, who has over 144,000 followers on Instagram, for comment, she posted a video response on Instagram dismissing the inquiry and saying she was a "private citizen" and that her social media accounts are "not monetized." "My views are mine & mine alone. I am an unpaid advocate & have never been paid to support a political candidate," her post said. "I am highly against the two-party system. If I feel someone is a good fit for office, I support them. F--- your gangs! It’s really that simple!" Credit: Leo Briceno is a politics reporter for the congressional team at Fox News Digital.
