Mr. Booker and other Senate Democrats faced questions Sunday about reports that Mr. Platner’s wife previously told his campaign he had exchanged sexual messages with women outside his marriage.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) on Sunday said Democratic candidate in Maine’s Senate race Graham Platner “made mistakes” after reports that his wife found sexually explicit texts with several women on his phone and brought it to his campaign’s attention. Speaking with CBS News’s Face the Nation, Murphy was asked if Platner passed the “character test” […]
Following a recent conversation with President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham pressed the president Sunday to ditch a key demand of Tehran amid the ongoing U.S.-Iran peace negotiations, a proposal that has been described as a "poison pill” and a non-starter for Iranian officials.“In a recent conversation with President Trump, I affirmed my support for a deal with Iran that accepts President Trump’s demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz and start negotiations about forever ending their nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism,” Graham wrote in a social media post on X.“On a separate front, it is my belief that we must allow Israel to neutralize the threats the country faces from constant Hezbollah attacks emanating from Lebanon. It would be unconscionable to ask Israel to accept a ceasefire with Hezbollah given Hezbollah’s stated desire to destroy Israel and their constant attacks.”Iran has demanded that Israel halt its bombardment of Lebanon as a key condition in its negotiations with the Trump administration, an ask that Israel has largely ignored, despite Trump himself demanding as much last month. More than 3,100 Lebanese have been killed by Israeli air strikes since early March and nearly 10,000 wounded, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.Hezbollah has launched strikes into Israel in response to its military siege on Gaza, which countless human rights groups have labeled a genocide, strikes designed to divert Israel’s military away from Gaza and toward the Israel-Lebanon border to the north.And yet, despite Israel's halt of its invasion and bombardment of Lebanon being a non-negotiable demand of Iran's – and an explicit demand by Trump – Israel has expanded its military siege of its northern neighbor, most recently being accused of using white phosphorus bombs, an incendiary and waxy chemical that ignites when exposed to oxygen and burns at extreme temperatures, a potential war crime.“Any ceasefire with Hezbollah would allow them to re-arm and become stronger,” Graham continued. “In my view, there must not be any linkage between an Iran deal and Israel’s ability to fight back against Hezbollah’s unceasing aggression in Lebanon. Any deal with Iran that restricts Israel’s ability to fight back against Hamas and Hezbollah would be unwise.”In a recent conversation with President Trump, I affirmed my support for a deal with Iran that accepts President Trump’s demand to open up the Strait of Hormuz and start negotiations about forever ending their nuclear ambitions and support for terrorism.

Texas leads the nation in corporate headquarters relocations with Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin and Houston drawing companies from high-tax blue states.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was brutally mocked on Sunday after he made a strange claim during an interview on Fox News. Paxton joined Fox News host Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures," where the two discussed Paxton's primary battle against Texas state Democratic lawmaker James Talarico to replace outgoing Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in the Senate. During the interview, Paxton attempted to defend his scandal-ridden past, but onlookers heard a very different explanation from the one he thought he had offered the audience. "What are you going to do about your own record and perception?" Bartiromo asked. "The Wall Street Journal describes you as 'scandal-plagued.'""Well, that was all pushed by Karl Rove," Paxton said, referring to a GOP Stalwart who has spoken out against Paxton's Senate run. "I get why they said that, but the reality is they can say the same thing about Donald Trump." Paxton's candidacy has been plagued by his divorce from his ex-wife Angela, who claimed she was leaving the Texas Attorney General "on biblical grounds." Paxton also narrowly survived an impeachment proceeding in the Texas legislature over his efforts to provide kick-backs to a real estate developer, and allegations of cheating on his wife. Political analysts and observers reacted to Paxton's interview on social media. "My God, the first truthful thing I have heard from Ken Paxton!" Norman Ornstein, a political scientist and contributing editor at The Atlantic, posted on X. "'I’m not as dirty as the president' is a weird flex," Jim Stewartson, a writer, posted on X. "Hilarious," Mehdi Hasan, founder of Zeteo News, posted on X. "Talarico couldn’t have scripted this any better if he tried," Hemant Mehta, a former "Jeopardy!" champion, posted on X.
