'Guaranteed death': Another GOP senator comes out swinging against Trump's demands

Another GOP senator has said he won't give in to a looming demand by President Donald Trump in a defiant op-ed.In a Thursday piece for The Wall Street Journal, Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) made it clear, "I won't change the filibuster," a position that he made the headline of his op-ed."Under no circumstance will I support any effort to end or alter the filibuster, as any party that does so wouldn't be guaranteed survival," Curtis wrote. "Their agenda would be guaranteed death come the next majority." The op-ed lands Curtis in a growing camp of Republicans publicly resisting Trump's push to terminate the filibuster if that's what it takes to force through his stalled SAVE America Act, a controversial voting bill.Curtis defended the filibuster, writing that it "protects independence" and "gives individual senators the ability to stop or slow a bill—a significant amount of influence for one person."He added that the filibuster protects the minority, which "isn't just a party. It can be any senator, on any issue, at any time, whose view doesn't align with the majority." He noted this kind of resistance "happens more often than people might think" and that the filibuster makes it so a senator who disagrees with party leadership "can't easily be overruled and pushed aside."Trump never comes up by name, but plenty of Republicans have gone after his demand. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) went after the same demand in a Wall Street Journal op-ed of her own. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has also said he won't gut the filibuster to secure 60 votes for Trump's SAVE America Act.

Pete Hegseth's controversies open doors for Dem attacks

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's record of blunders and controversial statements is becoming a central point of attack.According to Politico, Democratic candidates in the upcoming midterm elections are targeting Hegseth. Democratic strategists view him as a target-rich subject for undermining GOP opponents, with his television celebrity status and extensive controversy providing ammunition in key districts. Democratic strategist Matt Corridoni noted Hegseth has "pushed it into hyper politics," making him increasingly useful as a political foil. "The more Hegseth puts himself out there, the more he does the work for us," he told Politico. Campaign planners expect Democratic candidates to intensify criticism as the five-month-long war against Iran continues, citing Hegseth's role as a vocal proponent. Iraq war veteran Cait Conley, running for New York's 17th District, described Hegseth as unqualified and incompetent. Navy veteran Rebecca Bennett, running for New Jersey's 7th District, has made Hegseth's resignation a campaign centerpiece, calling him a threat to military integrity and service members.Watch the video below.

Senator triggers online backlash after 'ludicrous' fracas with reporter: 'What is this?'

A Republican senator apologized for siccing security on a reporter, but it came too late to avoid being skewered online.On Thursday, Sen. Pete Ricketts (R-NE) called for security and ran away after TMZ DC co-managing editor Charlie Cotton pressed him with questions about the absence of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)."Do you think Mitch McConnell needs to do more to prove his health?" Cotton asked. Ricketts answered, saying McConnell, who's been out of the public eye since mid-June, deserves "the time he needs." Cotton pressed him with a follow-up question, but Ricketts called out for the Capitol Police to "Stop him!""I reacted poorly," Ricketts later wrote in a post on X. "I appreciate @hicharliecotton taking my phone call so I could apologize."Cotton responded on X, writing, "I accept your apology Pete. I respect anyone who can take accountability when they make a mistake. Thank u for the call - I look fwd to our next conversation."However, online critics were shocked to see Cotton's video of the incident and vented their outrage before Ricketts could get off scot-free."What is this?" Drop Site News reporter Julian Andreone reacted on X. "They were coming from the basement, which is inside the building, meaning Charlie, a credentialed reporter, had already been through security and is free to navigate the Russell office building and film anywhere within it he'd like.""This is ludicrous!" Eric Michael Garcia, the DC bureau chief for The Independent, posted. "Charlie is doing his job and posed no security threat to Ricketts.""A senator can say no comment or say nothing," NOTUS reporter Igor Bobic wrote. "But reporters have every right to ask him questions in a public hallway.""Why did Capitol Police stop a reporter from asking questions?" MS NOW congressional reporter Matt Fuller asked. "The answer is because Sen. Pete Ricketts asked them to, but this is a wholly inappropriate use of the Capitol Police."

Shock as new 'horrific' allegations emerge against 'unhinged' MAGA lawmaker

Onlookers reacted with shock to the new allegations of domestic abuse coming out against a MAGA lawmaker.On Thursday, a restraining order against Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) filed by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, revealed more allegations of him lashing out and threatening her. Moreno is the daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), and her allegations against Miller have spilled into public view during the past year.Onlookers reacted online after seeing that Moreno's restraining order alleged that Miller "harassed," "threatened," and "placed his hands on" her attorney. The restraining order also stated that Miller's own attorney said the lawmaker "just can't control himself.""The allegations here are horrific," political commentator Molly Jong-Fast posted on X."I am genuinely scared for her," wrote Democratic strategist Ally Sammarco. "This man is unhinged.""Miller needs to resign or be removed from office," demanded political commentator Andrew Donaldson. "Clear pattern of behavior making him unfit."Others called on Republicans to remove or investigate their party member. Legal expert Kristy Greenberg wrote, "The GOP's failure to investigate such serious allegations is outrageous.""When are the Republicans going to disavow this candidate and get another?" political consultant Lisa Kirbie asked.Plenty of harsh words were also directed at Sen. Moreno. Democratic strategist Adam Parkhomenko called Sen. Moreno "gutless" in a post because the GOP senator "still not saying anything.""It's crazy that @berniemoreno still hasn't called on @MaxMillerOH to resign," political analyst and Pod Save America co-host Tommy Vietor wrote.According to a post by Burgess Everett, the congressional bureau chief for Semafor, a spokesperson for Sen. Moreno said the senator "does not litigate these matters in the media or respond to baseless public attacks."
