A far-left Twitch streamer and a progressive Michigan Senate candidate laughed off longtime Democratic strategist James Carville's warning that he might quit the party over their growing influence, calling the threat a selling point.

A far-left Twitch streamer and a progressive Michigan Senate candidate laughed off longtime Democratic strategist James Carville's warning that he might quit the party over their growing influence, calling the threat a selling point. Hasan Piker and Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, sat down for a video on Piker's YouTube channel the day before the primary and treated Carville's ultimatum as a punchline. Carville had appeared on Fox News' The Sunday Briefing days earlier and drawn a hard line: he and Piker would not remain in the same political party. One of them, Carville said, was going to leave, and it might be him. Rather than worry about losing a strategist who helped elect Bill…Open

Sen. Mitch McConnell has not been seen in public since early June, and his empty seat is now threatening to derail the confirmation of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, with Republicans left holding a one-vote margin they may not be able to keep. The August 3 deadline that some observers believed could force a special election in Kentucky came and went without consequence. McConnell did not vacate his seat, and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, a Democrat, moved quickly to dismiss the date's significance. Beshear posted on X that the deadline carried no legal weight on his options should a vacancy open this year. But the passed deadline did nothing to resolve the real problem: McConnell remains absent, his office says he is not medically…Open
Sen. John Fetterman delivered a blunt rebuke to fellow Democrats for elevating a communist-sympathizing internet personality, warning that the party's leftward lurch toward anti-Israel radicalism and socialist candidates is alienating mainstream voters. The Pennsylvania Democrat, speaking on the sidelines of the Israel on Campus Coalition's National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, singled out […] The post Fetterman confronts his own party over Mao-praising streamer and socialist primary surge appeared first on American Almanac .
Sen. John Fetterman delivered a blunt rebuke to fellow Democrats for elevating a communist-sympathizing internet personality, warning that the party's leftward lurch toward anti-Israel radicalism and socialist candidates is alienating mainstream voters. The Pennsylvania Democrat, speaking on the sidelines of the Israel on Campus Coalition's National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, singled out socialist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker by name. Piker has openly praised Mao Zedong and defended Cuba's communist regime while blaming America for the island's suffering. He has also emerged as an influential voice on the Democratic left, backing socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and campaigning alongside Michigan Senate…Open

A progressive doctor backed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez survived a nearly $62 million outside spending barrage to win Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, and now his own party's strategists are openly questioning whether he can hold the seat in November. Abdul El-Sayed defeated Rep. Haley Stevens by fewer than 15,000 votes out of more than 1.5 million ballots cast on August 4, a margin of less than one percentage point, AP News reported . NBC News called the race for El-Sayed around 2 a.m. Eastern on August 5. Stevens phoned El-Sayed to concede Wednesday morning. The result hands Michigan Democrats a nominee who campaigned on Medicare for All, halting military aid to Israel, and campaign finance reform, in a general…Open
Six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home, the Pima County Sheriff's Department says releasing two ransom notes has produced only a "slight increase" in tips, and none that have cracked the case.

Six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home, the Pima County Sheriff's Department says releasing two ransom notes has produced only a "slight increase" in tips, and none that have cracked the case. The department confirmed to ABC News on Tuesday that every tip generated since the notes went public last Friday has been followed up on, but investigators still have no breakthrough. Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her home in the early hours of February 1 and has not been seen since. The disclosure lands at a frustrating inflection point. Authorities chose to release the notes, a rare investigative move, precisely because the trail had gone cold. And the…Open
