Stephen Miller Pushes False Claim That SNAP Requires No Proof of Financial Need
“We don't check, as a country, if you even have kids. You will just start getting the checks,” Miller falsely asserted.

The Democratic National Committee didn't reach for a policy argument when White House senior adviser Stephen Miller deliberately misgendered Texas Senate nominee James Talarico on Wednesday. They went straight for the jugular.After the DNC posted a photo of Talarico — a cisgender man — declaring it was "time to take back Texas," Miller fired back with a false claim: "The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate." The DNC's response was five words: "shut up you ugly f—."Miller's post was no accident. It's the latest escalation in a coordinated Republican effort to paint the Democratic nominee as outside the mainstream — and it comes as the GOP appears increasingly rattled by the state of the race.Polling shows Talarico leading Paxton by as much as 8 points, while Paxton's net favorability sits 9 points underwater compared to Talarico's +10. Talarico has raised more than $27 million in the first three months of 2026, dwarfing Paxton's $2.2 million haul during the same period.Republicans have responded with a kitchen-sink assault. The NRSC launched a deepfake attack ad depicting an AI-generated version of Talarico reading his own social media posts, with the committee branding him "the most radical, woke Democrat Texas voters have ever seen." Paxton debuted a string of nicknames at a victory rally — "Tofu Talarico," "Six-gender James," and "Tala-freak-o" — seizing on a resurfaced 2021 legislative statement in which Talarico argued that modern science recognizes more than two biological sexes.Political journalist David Weigel noted the subtext of the GOP attacks has rapidly become text — that Republican messaging has consistently sought to cast Talarico as effeminate or queer.Talarico has pushed back, accusing Paxton of "intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption." Even Karl Rove has warned that with Paxton as the nominee, Democrats have a real shot.Miller's post drew immediate corrections across social media, including from Rowan Fornow, a digital organizer for a Utah congressional campaign, who noted that the first transgender Senate candidate was actually Misty Snow of Utah, who ran in 2016.

The police chief who oversaw the reforms made by Minneapolis in the wake of the controversial death of George Floyd has resigned rather than face allegations of interfering with an investigation, according to the mayor.Democratic-Farmer-Labor Mayor Jacob Frey announced Tuesday that Brian O'Hara had resigned rather than face the consequences from allegedly deleting evidence.'When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively.' Investigators are looking into allegations that O'Hara had intimate relations with several city staff members, Frey said. When Frey told O'Hara he would face discipline over the alleged interference, O'Hara chose to resign instead."I accepted the resignation. It was an extremely painful decision, obviously, but I concluded that that was necessary to maintain public trust, and this was the right way to move forward as a city," the mayor said. "When you serve as chief of the Minneapolis Police Department, trust is not secondary to the job, it is the job," he added. "When trust is broken, it becomes extremely difficult to continue leading effectively." According to the allegations, O'Hara deleted a contact from his city-issued phone in order to "shield" himself, and he also warned a colleague about the investigation after he was specifically instructed not to do so. The independent law firm investigating the sex claims did not find enough evidence to substantiate the allegations. Frey said that Assistant Police Chief Katie Blackwell would take up the mantle as acting police chief while the city conducted a search for an interim police chief."This is not about being intolerant of mistakes," he added. "Everyone makes mistakes including me. But what I can't allow is a breach of trust." RELATED: 'ICE, get the f**k out of Minneapolis!' Dem mayor calls ICE's claim in deadly shooting 'bulls**t' O'Hara had been criticized for not doing enough to combat federal operations in Minneapolis as well as the police response to the shooting of Davis Moturi. He also oversaw the police response to the Annunciation Catholic Church shooting in Aug. 2025. Despite the criticism against the police chief, Frey had nominated O'Hara to another four-year term earlier this month. The mayor said Wednesday that he would not have done so if he knew about the allegations.City council members, including the president, criticized Frey heavily over the O'Hara affair.
