Republican nominee Gregg Hull said Deb Haaland's claims about him not choosing a debate date are not true. Hull said Haaland has skipped out on multiple forums, including the New Mexico Municipal League, the New Mexico Association of Counties and the New Mexico Alliance of Health Councils. These forums allow candidates to answer questions about the issues that are critical to New Mexicans. "This is a disturbing pattern because she would not debate her opponent in the primary either," Hull said. Haaland has a six-point lead over Hull in New Mexico's governor race, according to polling. The two will debate on Oct. 8. Start your day with "Morning in America," NewsNation's live three-hour national morning newscast hosted by Markie Martin.…
Last week, President Trump banned CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House grounds. And this is just the latest in a long list of times Trump has taken up metaphorical arms against the press. Symone and Eugene get into why the president -- under water in the polls as Republican candidates start to distance themselves -- might have decided to ban our journalists 40 days before the midterms. And with November approaching, our hosts invite one of the rising stars of the primaries, Florida's surprise Democratic nominee, Angie Nixon, to the groupchat. Nixon called in from the campaign trail -- specifically, from her van (“The Vangie”) -- to shed light on how much support she's receiving from the Democratic party, if the South can…

Dolly Parton's sister Freida Parton publicly defended nephew Bryan Seaver after the late singer's estate fired him as head of security, sued him, and obtained a restraining order. Less than a month after Parton's death, the entity she built to protect her legacy has turned on the nephew she trusted to announce her passing, and the family is pushing back.

A judge granted a temporary restraining order the same day, one day after Seaver received a termination notice ending his role as Parton's head of security, a position he held for more than twenty…Open

A struggling queer bar in small-town Massachusetts tried to drop its mask mandate for one night a week to stay afloat, and its own community responded with firebombing threats, accusations of eugenics, and a meeting that left the sole remaining owner in tears.

The bar's website spelled out the rule in detail: "Masks are required when not actively taking a sip of your drink or taking a bite of a snack. Lower,…Open

A 19-year-old Wendy's manager in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was arrested and charged with false imprisonment and simple assault after she admitted to tying a neurodivergent employee to a kitchen grill, an act she dismissed as a TikTok joke.

The video has since been viewed by millions. Burton now faces up to a year in jail on the misdemeanor charges. She was booked into the…Open
