Indiana lieutenant governor claims to be giving people 'permission to hate' Islam: report
Far Left
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith, a Republican, proclaimed during an interview with the right-wing Christian FlashPoint show that people need "permission to hate" Islam."We're giving people permission to hate again," said Beckwith, a radical Christian Nationalist whose rant was captured in a report by Right Wing Watch. "And I know that sounds harsh at first, but we've seen this movement to eradicate hate in our culture, that is the worst thing we could do. You know, the Bible talks about how God hates certain things, and when we say we want to eradicate hate, think about this, we're actually saying we want to eradicate a characteristic of God.""Hate is not the opposite of love," Beckwith continued. "Indifference is the opposite of love. And so when I talk about this and I say, guys, we need to, in Indiana, we need to hate certain things — if radical Jihadi mindset starts coming into our state, I'm gonna hate it, and I'm gonna hate it with everything that I am, and I'm gonna call on others to hate it.""I hate Islam; it's a demonic death cult," he added. "Now, I love Muslims, because they make great Christians when Jesus gets a hold of them, but I hate Islam."Beckwith has found himself a lightning rod for controversy since taking office.He has praised the Three-Fifths Compromise, cracked tasteless jokes about autism and Down Syndrome, and last year his office came under investigation for "ghost jobs" and the distribution of deepfaked sexual images.

GOP lawmaker delivers a brutal snub of her Trump-backed ex-husband: report
Even though a Texas GOP candidate has the president's support, he doesn't have an official endorsement from his wife, according to a new report. Texas state Sen. Angela Paxton, a Republican, shared her list of endorsements on Tuesday, and her husband, Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, noticeably did not make the cut, according to reporting by The Hill. Trump backed Ken Paxton for the GOP primary, favoring him over Sen. John Cornyn just a week before the election. GOP lawmakers have shaken their heads and rebuffed the endorsement, which caught them off guard. According to The Hill, Angela Paxton "remained neutral" in the Texas GOP Senate primary and didn't endorse Cornyn either. However, she did announce her support for Mayes Middleton, a state senator who's running to replace her husband as the Texas AG. Meanwhile, The Hill noted that the Paxtons' marriage is "estranged," as Angela Paxton filed for divorce from Ken last year, citing "biblical grounds." “I believe marriage is a sacred covenant and I have earnestly pursued reconciliation,” Angela Paxton wrote on X. “But in light of recent discoveries, I do not believe that it honors God or is loving to myself, my children, or Ken to remain in the marriage.”

Republican governor squirms when pressed about impact of Trump's policies on his state
Republican Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo avoided answering a direct question about President Donald Trump's tariff policies and their impact on the tourism-reliant state during a recent interview.Lombardo spoke to 2 News Nevada in an exclusive interview last week and appeared visibly uncomfortable with denouncing Trump's tariffs, which have led to a tourism crisis in the state that heavily depends on travelers, especially in cities like Las Vegas. The loss of global tourism has hit the state's economy and become a serious concern among Nevada lawmakers ahead of the midterm elections this fall, according to Politico.But Lombardo apparently did not have a strong stance on the topic, 2 News Nevada reported."I don't know all the nuances of foreign policy associated with that and the tariffs and how it directly affects Nevada, but me as the governor of the state of Nevada, I'm concerned about Nevada," Lombardo said.In February, Nevada State Treasurer Zach Conine said that Trump's tariffs have cost the state $2.1 billion and Conine has demanded that the administration pay the state for costs incurred as a result of the president's policy, KOLO 8 News Now reported.Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo punts on whether he supports Trump's tariffs: "I don't know all the nuances of foreign policy associated with that and tariffs and how it directly affects, uh, Nevada." pic.twitter.com/FoNDtJUd6D— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) May 26, 2026

Todd Blanche haunted by former clients accusing him of 'malpractice and forgery': report
At the same time that he is serving as Donald Trump’s acting Attorney General, Todd Blanche is living under a cloud due to a lawsuit filed by two highly litigious clients dating back to his private practice days.According to a report from Vanity Fair’s Noah Shachtman, when Blanche worked at the prestigious law firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham, & Taft, he agreed to represent Adam and Daniel Kapaln, twins in their 30’s, who were worried that they were being targeted by the Manhattan district attorney’s office for financial fraud, so they were looking for “a good lawyer, preferably one for a good price.”They came to Blanche who, reportedly, offered to take on their case at a rate lower than the firm he worked at normally would charge.From there, things went south, Shachtman is reporting.The Kaplans initially came to Blanche seeking legal representation for financial fraud investigations and now claim the attorney assured them they "would not be paying Cadwalader prices" and that he "did not want to make money on the representation," implying steep discounts.The firm's first bill arrived in June 2022 for $677,925.32. By November 2022, the Kaplans had paid Blanche's firm $1.65 million and were told they owed even more. On November 19, 2022, at 5:27 a.m., Blanche emailed the brothers: "I am forced to instruct my team to stop work on this matter," until the bill was brought current.Instead the Kaplans' fired back with a malpractice lawsuit, filed in June 2023, that makes specific allegations: Blanche forged their signatures on an engagement letter. To support their claim, they enlisted a handwriting expert who confirmed the signatures were forgeries, Vanity Fair is reporting, before adding that the twins also alleged Blanche withheld evidence that could have aided their defense against federal charges. The malpractice suit contends Blanche billed them approximately 2,475 hours at roughly $1,000 per hour — far higher than the discounted rate he promised.Their former attorney Daniel Abrams, a malpractice specialist, told Vanity Fair, "If those allegations are proven, and we have a good faith belief that they will be, you know, he's not an ethical guy."Blanche and Cadwalader denied all allegations and later countersued the Kaplans for $1,208,403.76 in allegedly unpaid bills.The malpractice case became more complicated when a federal grand jury indicted Adam and Daniel on 16 counts of money laundering and wire fraud in July 2023. They were forced to post $2.5 million bonds, according to the report.One twin, Adam, was convicted on all charges and is held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn — where Nicolas Maduro and Luigi Mangione currently reside. Daniel was convicted on all but two money laundering counts and remains free pending sentencing expected later this year.Even as federal prosecutors pursued the Kaplans as alleged financial criminals, they presented themselves in state court as victims — of the law firm and of Blanche, who by April 2023 had started his own practice and took on Trump as a key client, which then led to his hiring at the Department of Justice.According to Vanity Fair, the malpractice case will continue through the twins' sentencing as Blanche goes about his business at the DOJ with an eye of being confirmed to fired Pam Bondi's position should Trump formally nominate him.

Prestigious hospital gave Epstein 24/7 access, house calls and other favors: report
Newly released Justice Department files reveal the extraordinary lengths to which Mount Sinai Hospital staff went to provide VIP medical care to Jeffrey Epstein, even years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.The documents expose a network of doctors and administrators at the prestigious Manhattan medical institution who arranged after-hours emergency room access, made house calls to Epstein's homes and private island and facilitated professional opportunities for people in his circle, reported CNN.One notable instance involved Dr. Jess Ting, a plastic surgeon at Mount Sinai, who repeatedly traveled to Epstein's residences for medical consultations. In emails obtained by the Justice Department, Ting described Epstein as a "VIP" and pledged that "for Mr. Epstein anything is possible." When Epstein's assistant asked if Ting could perform a procedure at 10 p.m., Ting simply responded: "yes. See you then."Hedge fund manager Glenn Dubin, a prominent trustee of the Mount Sinai Health System and primary founder of a namesake breast cancer center at the hospital, is mentioned numerous times in the Epstein files and is now married to Epstein's ex-girlfriend Eva Andersson-Dubin, who used her connections for special treatment from the hospital.Robin Solomon, who headed trustee services at Mount Sinai, provided Andersson-Dubin with a 24/7 emergency room contact number in 2013. "All he has to say is he's a friend of yours and EVERYONE is great," Solomon wrote, according to the files.The revelations have created significant tension within Mount Sinai's medical community. Multiple doctors told CNN they had no knowledge of Epstein's connections to the hospital and expressed shock upon learning the details.One anonymous physician affiliated with the institution called for the hospital to rename the Dubin Breast Center, fire implicated doctors and sever ties with the Dubin family."I think they're just focused on the money and not upsetting people in power," the doctor said, suggesting that financial considerations from wealthy donors continued to influence institutional decision-making.The hospital has largely remained silent on the controversy. Mount Sinai's statement acknowledged that Epstein's actions were "reprehensible" but declined to address specific questions about its internal investigation, the total amount of donations received, or the conduct of staff members involved in providing preferential treatment.The files also document instances where Epstein leveraged his hospital connections for personal favors unrelated to his own medical care. When his girlfriend Karyna Shuliak was rejected for a dental residency at Mount Sinai, Epstein forwarded the rejection email to Solomon, who subsequently promised to intervene: "I'm going to call my contact tomorrow and get her interviewed.""The Epstein files indicate that the New York financier appears to have given over $300,000 to Mount Sinai-affiliated organizations, with at least $125,000 donated directly to the Dubin Breast Center," CNN reported."In 2013, Andersson-Dubin tried to pitch Epstein on helping to fund post-surgery recovery rooms for women, telling him that the floor could be called 'The Epstein Floor for Women,'" the report added. "The next year, hospital employees discussed putting up a plaque at the Dubin Breast Center that would say it was in honor of Epstein. It is not clear if this plaque ever went up."The DOJ's release of millions of Epstein files has prompted Mount Sinai to form a committee to investigate its ties to the financier, but hospital leadership has provided no public updates on that investigation or any corrective measures being considered.
