What Does Democrat Rule Look Like? Look No Further Than Bennett and Pou's Scandal-Plagued BFF
September 11, 2026
What does one-party, Democrat rule look like, you ask? Rebecca Bennett and Nellie Pou's scandal-plagued BFF Mikie Sherrill has the answer to that. Hint: It's not good.
Since taking office earlier this year, we've already learned that NJ Dems put thousands of non-citizens on the voter rolls, and now, we're learning that Sherrill's hand-picked Lt. Governor allegedly engaged ininappropriate behavior toward women.
Sadly, despite NJ Dems' disastrous record, Rebecca Bennett and Nellie Pou proudly standby the Party's leaders.
"New Jersey Democrats are driving the state into the ground: From allowing non-citizens to vote and undermine democracy to appointing disgusting men to leadership positions, Democrats simply cannot be trusted. New Jersey families deserve representatives who can focus on what matters and get the job done." - NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole

DFL State Fair Booth Soars to Second Highest Sales Year in History
The DFL raised over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 State Fair. Sales increased nearly 27% compared to 2025.
ST. PAUL - Today, the Minnesota DFL announced that its State Fair booth generated over $300,000 in merchandise sales during the 2026 Minnesota State Fair, marking the second-highest sales total in party history.
The 2026 total was more than $65,000 higher than in 2025,which set the non-election year merchandise record.
Minnesotans are united in our momentum. Of the 5,574 DFL tee shirts sold in 2026, 1,528 were the "Minnesota Strong" Rebel Loon shirt. The party also sold over $16,000 in DFL buttons, 1,283 campaign shirts, and 3,940 campaign buttons.
The 2026 Minnesota State Fair drew 1.9 million visitors from all over the state and the country -- proving yet again that the Great Minnesota Get-Together is the best in the nation.
In response to the overwhelming enthusiasm shown by State Fair attendees, Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Chair Richard Carlbom released the following statement:
"Minnesotans are strongest when we show up for one another, and that's exactly what we saw at the State Fair. People came to the DFL booth to share their stories, listen to leaders, and stand with each other. This year, we saw Republicans choosing to stand with Trump instead of the people of Minnesota. Our top selling "Minnesota Strong" shirt captures a different spirit: We're with you, and we're in this together. That's what makes us Minnesota strong."

Dave Muhlbauer, Iowa Farmers Call Out Zach Lahn for Covering Up His Running Mate's Legal and Financial Scandals
September 10, 2026
DES MOINES - Today, nominee for lieutenant governor Dave Muhlbauer and Iowa farmers gathered to hold Zach Lahn accountable for refusing to address serious allegations that his running mate Derek Wulf is under criminal investigation and has been accused of theft and fraud.
Lahn has no real plan to bring down costs for farmers and chose a running matewhose predatory business practices "contributed to their strain." He supports reckless tariffs that are raising costs for farmers and hurting Iowa's agricultural economy.
Read what Iowa farmers had to say below:
"Zach Lahn's running mate is accused of defrauding farmers and threatening their livelihoods. What's even more concerning than those accusations is that Zach Lahn claims he didn't know about them," said nominee for lieutenant governor Dave Muhlbauer. "Maybe if Zach Lahn spent more time in Iowa instead of Kansas, he might've known about Wulf's problems. Instead, he made a rushed and reckless decision in choosing his running mate and is now trying to sweep it all under the rug. That's disqualifying, and Iowans cannot trust Zach Lahn if this is who he picks to be his running mate."
"Lahn's answer is he didn't know about any of this when he picked [Derek Wulf], but my question is why ... Maybe if he spent a little less time in Kansas, he could have heard what folks are saying up around Black Hawk County, what they already knew," said Tony Thompson, farmer and State Senate District 23 candidate. "Where I'm from, when something goes wrong, you own it. You answer the hard questions, you square up with the people you owe. Lahn's had weeks, but he keeps on ducking ... Until Zach Lahn explains himself, I sure wouldn't take his word to the bank."
"When you have a pattern of behavior in which a farm continually fails to pay, continually ends up in trouble ... You're hurting other people in your community when you're behaving in this fashion," said Madison County farmer Ryan Marquardt. "If Lahn's going to ignore these red flags and proceed with a candidate like this, that begs the question: If he's going to do that at this level, what would he do with the state level?"
"Lahn's lack of due diligence and reckless decision-making in choosing Wulf as his running mate is disqualifying for anyone running for governor," said Cyndy Coppola, who farms in Webster and Calhoun counties. "Lahn has tried to frame Wulf's legal and financial problems as standard operating practices for Iowa farmers in hard times. I say sentiments like these are an insult to the vast majority of Iowa farmers who believe in honesty, fair business practices, and integrity. The fact that the Iowa Farm Bureau refused to endorse Lahn speaks volumes ... Iowa farmers deserve a governor who is thoughtful and believes in honesty and accountability. And all Iowans deserve a leader with character that we can trust. That is not Zach Lahn or Derek Wulf."

DSCC FRIDAY TAKEAWAYS: Convention Tension, The Sununu Sequel, Peach State Probs, Hin-Sincere Hinson, and Sullivan's Reality Check
TGIF. Welcome back to Friday Takeaways from the DSCC - your weekly update from the DSCC Press Team on what you need to know across the Senate battlegrounds. There are 53 days until the midterms. - DROP US A LINE: press@dscc.org.
* CONVENTION TENSION: Senate Republicans' slate of scandal-plagued, toxic, and out-of-touchcandidates descended on Dallas this week, where their own leader was "viciously booed" by attendees as they spoke before "a sea of largely empty chairs" and doubled down on their toxic, price-spiking records at the snoozefest GOP midterms convention...
- 60% CAPACITY, 0% ENTHUSIASM: With the venue filled to "maybe 60% of the total capacity," it's safe to say that morale is low among convention attendees, who know that they're "in real trouble" and face "challenges in retaining control" in Washington. Even Republican strategists are fretting that it's "likely too late to stem the political fallout" from higher energy prices and tariffs that are "hitting GOP candidates in Michigan, Maine and Iowa particularly hard," and leaving Republicans with "no good options" to bring prices down.
- FLAG ON THE PLAY: Even Republican attendees say "the vibes are very bad," "no one knows about it," and there is "no enthusiasm," as GOP faithful are "melting down about this or that." Strategists now concede that their "only hope is that no one watches it since it's competing versus NFL opening games" because "the focus will be on Trump, not on the issues voters are screaming about." Does not sound promising for a party facing "historical headwinds" in a "competitive environment" ...
- T-MINUS 53 DAYS: With Democrats "running strong campaigns in GOP territory" and "an ever-present hum of anger" allowing for "expand[ed] opportunities with voters irate over the rising cost of living," DSCC Vice Chair Sen. Mark Kelly took to the airwaves to highlight the building "momentum" and "real opportunities" to flip the Senate as the political environment continues to show "parallels to 2006" with voters across the country eager to reject the toxic GOP agenda and Senate Republicans' flawed candidates.
* ONE YEAR LATER: This week also marked one year since Republican Senate candidates voted to conceal the Epstein files - protecting the billionaire megadonors underwriting their campaigns and Donald Trump over victims of his heinous crimes - now, their ties to Epstein remain a "major issue in the midterm elections" as voters continue to "question what else Republicans may have misled them about" ...
* FIRST, DO NO HARM. SECOND, SUE: New reporting from The New York Times this week shed light on how, as a doctor, Roger Marshall filed more than 700 lawsuits against patients who struggled to cover medical bills - including over unpaid bills "as little as $101." Marshall chose to sue patients over unpaid medical bills, a practice that experts say is "definitely on the extreme side," as "lawsuits against patients are relatively rare" because doctors have "wide discretion in how to handle unpaid bills" and "can decide when to involve a debt collector, file lawsuits or drop the debt entirely if a patient seems unable to pay."
- HIGH-FIVES AND HIGHER PREMIUMS: This comes less than one year after Marshall was caught on camera backslapping his colleagues and laughing as he voted to spike premiums for more than 159,000 Kansans, later telling CNN's Kaitlan Collins that he would "absolutely" vote against keeping health care affordable for Kansans by extending ACA tax credits.
- "EXTREME" AND "PREDATORY" PRACTICES: Now, as Marshall is under fire and "facing backlash" for his "extreme" and "predatory" practices, Reverend Adam Hamilton joined MS NOW's Morning Joe and The Last Word to slam Marshall for his "unbelievably aggressive" practices that resulted in 81 arrests and drove some Kansans to financial ruin, and how Marshall has voted "over and over and over again to take away health insurance from his constituents."
- THE SUNUNU SEQUEL: This week, Donald Trump's handpicked candidate John E. Sununu - whose name is mentioned in the Epstein files - became the Republicans' U.S. Senate nominee in New Hampshire... Sununu went to Washington nearly thirty years ago and voted to serve the interests of Wall Street, Big Oil, and Big Pharma in the Senate, then sold out to make millions off those same industries. Now, he wants to go back to Washington to sell out New Hampshire to Donald Trump (who, by the way, has a dismal 62% disapproval rate in NH per a July poll...)
- SU-NU-NO: Following Sununu's primary victory, Chris Pappas' campaign released a new video slamming him for his toxic record and warning Granite Staters about what a John E. Sununu sequel would look like... See for yourself:
* CORRUPTION FINAL BOSS: As Mike Rogers jet-sets to Dallas for the GOP convention, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed's campaign launched a "Come Home Mike" - a new game where players guide Florida resident price-hike Mike Rogers as he navigates roadblocks such as "Will you agree to vote to lower prescription drug prices when you get to the Senate?" Try to click yes and see what happens...
- GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN (SENT FROM PALM BEACH): Speaking of Florida... a new report from The Daily Beast found that Rogers' own FEC filings reveal that when "his social media posts suggested he was in Michigan, he was actually in Florida" ... Rogers was caught campaigning from Trump's Mar-A-Lago - making two separate visits on April 1st and April 21st - and spending a total of $17,135.85 of donors' money on catering and facility rentals at Trump's private club... but according to Rogers' social media posts from those days... one would be left under the impression he had not left Michigan at all...
= MIKE ROGERS CAMPAIGN IN MICHIGAN CHALLENGE: On April 23rd, Rogers tweeted that he "made a pit stop to see our friends at Circle K in Midland"; however, that same day, his FEC filings show Rogers' campaign spent $1,273.95 on "being settled around by a chauffeur in Miami, Florida that day and $567.00 for a hotel in West Palm Beach."
- GAMBLING WITH YOUR PAYCHECK: It's not surprising Rogers is fleeing Michigan... after calling Trump's tariffs "masterful" and "an absolute win" as costs skyrocket and jobs are threatened across the state - POLITICO reports that Rogers "has not tried to create much daylight with the White House," when it comes to tariffs... a "Canadian-sized gamble" and "politically risky" approach for a candidate running in a state whose "largest employers, including automakers, the dairy industry, appliance manufacturers and other industrial suppliers, all stand to take a particular hit from the duties"...
- PAXTON PROTECTS PEDOS: Meanwhile, back in Texas, GOP convention attendees were greeted by a mobile "Paxton Protects Pedos" billboard circling the venue to remind Texans of Corrupt Ken Paxton's career of Epstein-style sweetheart deals and donations from a known Epstein-affiliated family... The billboard refers to a plea deal Paxton gave to an admitted child molester, who served just days in jail and did not have to register as a sex offender thanks to Paxton - and to donations Paxton received from the Epstein-affiliated Jaffe family, whose business "once considered buying Jeffrey Epstein's notorious plane.
- LIVE FROM THE EPSTEIN MEMORIAL READING ROOM: And as Paxton tries to run and hide from his toxic record of protecting sex predators, James Talarico held an event with Epstein survivors in Dallas, where he called on Paxton to "stand with these survivors and get justice, or he can continue to cover up Jeffrey Epstein's abuse." The survivors said they invited Ken Paxton to join them - but he never responded and didn't show up.
- NEW WEEK NEW SCANDAL: And of course, it wouldn't be a week in the Texas Senate race without a new example of Paxton's flagrant corruption and self-dealing... Paxton appeared to obscure his wealth from Texans in a "deliberate effort to conceal his investments and property holdings" by undervaluing one of his properties to the tune of nearly $1 million, and failing to report that he was earning rental income from several of his homes.... Ethics experts are calling it "mind-boggling" and "very strange," as it appears to violate federal ethics law...
- "THAT'S A LONG LIST..." Even Fox News has started to highlight some of Paxton's "legal troubles" ... in an interview at the GOP convention, Fox ticked through all of Paxton's scandals with on-air graphics, with Brett Bair telling his viewers that "there's a long list here."
- "OF COURSE" SHE IS: Up in Maine, Susan Collins announced this week that she would be voting for far-right GOP gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles - who was denounced by his own sister for his radical, anti-abortion views and his friendship with infamous abuser Dennis Hastert - saying, "of course I'm going to be voting for Bobby Charles."
- NO HELP FROM SHAMEFUL SUSAN: It should come as no surprise that Collins supports a far-right anti-abortion nominee to be her state's governor; after all, a new report from this week exposed her for taking "several positions" that were "harmful to women," including voting "against making it harder for employers to engage in sex-based wage discrimination" and opposing sick leave while serving on the Senate HELP Committee...
- ONE YEAR LATER - MAINE WOMEN RESPOND: And speaking of Collins being harmful to women, Mainers gathered in Portland this week to slam her for "betraying Maine women and selling out to Donald Trump and the Epstein class" on the vote's first anniversary.
- DEVON MURPHY-ANDERSON, executive director of the Maine Democratic Party: "With this vote, Collins once again betrayed Maine women. Just as she did with her votes for Brett Kavanaugh, for Neil Gorsuch, and countless anti-abortion judges. By voting to block the release of the Epstein files, Collins made clear that she will abandon Maine women if Trump needs her to."
* OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF TOUCH: As new data shows the GOP's unpopular, price-spiking war in Iran has taken American lives and already cost the average household $1,650, Ashley Hinson is claiming the war is "out of sight, out of mind" for many Americans. Has she been to the gas station or grocery store lately?
* HIN-SINCERE: But that wasn't Hinson's only Iran-war-related gaffe this week... In an interview with Fox News' Peter Doocy, she downplayed Iowans' concerns over the costly war and reaffirmed her support of the conflict that has uniquely hurt Iowans.
= Peter Doocy, Fox News Host: "When you're out on the campaign trail all over Iowa, do people ever ask you when the war in Iran will end?"
= Ashley Hinson: "Well, it's not certainly the first thing they bring up."
* WHEN THE MIC'S OFF... Don't forget - no matter what she says, Hinson knows the war - and her support for it - is a vulnerability. Just last month at the Iowa State Fair, Hinson "went silent" and ignored repeated reporter questions about the Middle East conflict. She has publicly defended the war numerous times, despite admitting in private that it's a "political liability." Hinson has voted six times to continue the Iran War.
* YOU CAN RUN: Like most other GOP Senate candidates, Whatley fled North Carolina this week to rub shoulders with his billionaire donors and party bosses in Dallas. Unfortunately, no matter how far he runs, Republicans across the country are hearing every day how Whatley repeatedly appointed a convicted child sex offender, Harvey West, to NCGOP leadership...
* HAS HE LEARNED NOTHING? And in an interview with ABC Live, Whatley laid out his Make Stuff Cost More agenda while lying once again that "inflation is down dramatically." See for yourself...
- ABC Live Anchor: "Do you still assert that there's been no inflation under President Trump?"
- Michael Whatley: "What I would say is inflation is down dramatically..."
* PEACH STATE PROBS: Looks like there continue to be some problems in the Peach State... New reporting from NBC News reveals the deep divisions within the Georgia GOP as the party struggles to unite - and has "yet to fully rally around" Senate nominee Mike Collins, a dynamic that "stands in stark contrast to the Democrats, who have coalesced quickly behind Sen. Jon Ossoff." Collins' failures have "sparked concerns within the GOP, less than 60 days from Election Day, that its statewide candidates will struggle to build a winning coalition amid a broader political environment that is presenting headwinds for the party." Works for us!
* REALITY CHECK: One year after Dan Sullivan voted against releasing the Epstein files, he's being called out by Alaskans for voting against transparency and justice and for taking nearly $10,000 in campaign cash from Jeffrey Epstein's associates (including a donor who "appeared in Epstein's 'little black book'"). Alaska Democratic Party Chair Eric Croft and advocates held Dan Sullivan accountable for his vote against releasing the Epstein files and presented Dan Sullivan with a giant check from his Epstein associate donors...
* DOUBLING DOWN: Don't forget, Sullivan has since continued to dismiss the survivors of Epstein's heinous crimes, casting the deciding vote to confirm Todd Blanche - betraying Alaskans and Epstein survivors who directly called on Sullivan to block the nomination following Blanche's mishandling of the Epstein files as Deputy Attorney General...
* HUMANS NEED NOT APPLY: New reporting from MeidasTouch reveals that Jon Husted - dubbed "the face of data centers" in Ohio - has suggested replacing Ohio workers with robots in jobs he considers too repetitive and menial to be worth doing...
* Here's what he had to say:
- Ohio GOP Senate Candidate Jon Husted: "If you worked in something that had a repetitive nature to it, those kinds of jobs are going away. They're going to be replaced by robots. I don't think that is a bad thing, because I don't think those are enriching - the enriching kinds of jobs that most people want to do." He never did say which Ohio jobs he finds beneath him...
- HUSTED'S GREATEST HITS: It should come as no surprise that Husted is yet again in the spotlight for demeaning comments about Ohio workers... throughout the campaign, he has suggested that struggling Ohioans are "not very experienced at navigating the real world," and told families that need to fix their work ethic and "earn more."

DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement on the 25th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001:
"For twenty-five years, Americans have carried the painful memory of the September 11 attacks. Every day since, we as a nation have vowed to never forget those who were killed in New York, at the Pentagon, and on Flight 93. We have remembered the first responders and rescue workers who sacrificedtheir lives, and have stood with the families and loved ones of those who perished.
"In the weeks and months after the attacks, our nation came together with common purpose and unified resolve -- donating blood, providing humanitarian relief, and even joining the effort to clear the rubble at Ground Zero. It didn't matter where we lived, how we voted, or to whom we prayed. Americans stood together and lived up to our founding motto: out of many, one.
"Today, we must choose, once again, to stand with one another. We must continue to honor the lives that were lost, the service members and veterans who answered the call to protect our country in the years since, and the first responders and survivors who continue to face illness from toxic exposure."
