Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on Monday and echoed several Sanders-style progressive themes, criticizing five-term Republican Sen. Susan Collins, criticizing and U.S. weapons spending tied to conflicts in Gaza and Iran.Platner, the presumptive Democratic nominee seeking to unseat Collins in November, made the fiery remarks during a “Fighting Oligarchy” rally led by Sanders in Portland — an event aimed at mobilizing progressive activists and expanding grassroots organizing efforts ahead of the midterm elections.

California’s 7th Congressional District candidate and Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang is receiving pushback after videos resurfaced of her refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.Over Memorial Day weekend, multiple clips showed Vang turning aside or staying silent during city council meetings as members said the Pledge of Allegiance toward the American flag. As recently as Wednesday, Van was seen with eyes downcast during the pledge.Vang, who has held her Sacramento City Council position since 2020, previously addressed her refusal to say the Pledge of Allegiance in a 2025 Facebook post.VP HARRIS MOCKED FOR FLUBBING OPENING LINE OF PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: ‘WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT’ “[T]his is exactly why I choose not to recite the Pledge of Allegiance during every council meeting,” Vang said. “As much as I love this country, I use that moment to ground myself—to center our communities and remind myself of the injustices and harm that continue to affect so many, both locally and across the globe, under this nation’s influence.”She continued, “We must not tune out—they want us to become numb to the realities we see in the news—it’s part of the plan to keep us complacent.

Jim Harbaugh has yet to coach his first game with the New York Giants, and already his new organization has become the center of discussion in the NFL.Few stories have generated as much interest and conversation as Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart introducing President Donald Trump at a recent speech. Not just because Dart was obviously making a public statement of support for President Trump, but because of teammate Abdul Carter’s reaction to it.Carter posted that he thought it was “AI,” because he couldn’t believe Dart would do such a thing. While Carter and Dart have since spoken and mended whatever disagreements they might have had, the debate over Dart’s decision has continued. Many have pointed out that many athletes or coaches have come out in favor of Democratic Party candidates or issues with zero condemnation or accusations of “dividing” the locker room. Steph Curry, LeBron James, Steve Kerr, Gregg Popovich and Doc Rivers as just a few examples. Thomas Booker IV, a defensive tackle for the Philadelphia Eagles, quite literally led the “Athletes for Harris” group trying to get Harris elected. Surprisingly, that received little attention.GIANTS STAR ABDUL CARTER TAKES ISSUE WITH TEAMMATE JAXSON DART INTRODUCING TRUMP AT NEW YORK…

To note, the U.S. is on holiday. Both sides appear to be moving closer to ending the three-month conflict and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. However, overnight comments from senior Iranian officials suggest gaps remain, particularly over the future of Iran’s nuclear program and uranium enrichment. “It is true that a consensus was reached on many of the topics discussed, but no one can claim that the signing of an agreement is imminent,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmail Baghaei told reporters in response to a question on the progress in negotiations. Earlier today, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the Trump team had expected more details on progress in the US-Iran deal and may still have an update soon. “We thought we might have some news last night. Maybe today,” Rubio told reporters in New Delhi during his multi-day visit to India. President Trump on Sunday said, “Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand,…
