The Dallas Observer — a digital site with a weekly print edition — published an item Tuesday hilariously claiming two ads by Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) were misleading in claims about his Democratic opponent and Congressman Colin Allred’s (D-TX) support for men being allowed in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, and sports.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel’s week of liberal guests concluded with Rep. Eric Swalwell as Kimmel asked such thought-provoking questions as “Ted Cruz, like, is he eating the urinal cakes?” For his part, Swalwell saw something sinister in Republicans being nice to him.

Thursday’s edition of ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! highlighted just how far the eponymous host is willing to go to boost Democrats this election cycle. During his monologue, Kimmel featured a satirical ad from My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, played by James Adomian, endorsing Texas Sen. Ted Cruz that featured plenty of juvenile insults and musings about Cruz’s sex life. Later, Kimmel welcomed…

The El Paso Times — a newspaper in the megachain Gannett — penned a syrupy profile Thursday thanks to reporter Adam Powell of Congressman Colin Allred (D-TX), whom they celebrated as someone who “isn’t running for cover” from the U.S.-Mexico border and “[d]rawing contrast on border policy” with incumbent Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX).

MSNBC’s Joy Reid and her Friday guests could not control their laughter on The ReidOut at Kamala Harris and Tim Walz discussing the latter’s “white guy tacos” and subsequent GOP reaction.

During a rare Friday edition of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the eponymous ABC host celebrated former President Donald Trump’s birthday by announcing that he donated to Planned Parenthood in Trump’s name and recalling his top 78 nicknames for Trump, which led him to admit, “Maybe we do have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”

During a rare Friday edition of his ABC show, legal non-expert Jimmy Kimmel asserted that Republicans who claim to be outraged at the conviction of former President Donald Trump are lying.

Alongside Associate Editor Nick Fondacaro for this Friday edition of the show, we dove into the wholly manufactured liberal media storyline (courtesy of The New York Times) of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and flags outside his homes as a sign he’s ethically and morally compromised as a jurist and – gasp – a far-right extremist! Simply put, the obsession over this story and the…

In another tumultuous segment of CNN’s The Source on Thursday, host Kaitlan Collins spoke with former Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan (R-GA) and former Obama official Van Jones. If ending the spread of misinformation was still a priority for CNN, they should rethink The Source entirely. Jones made outrageous claim after outrageous claim regarding Republicans, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX…

In a chaotic interview on Wednesday’s The Source between Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) of Texas and CNN host Kaitlan Collins, what started out as a relatively tame discussion (by CNN’s standards) on in vitro fertilization (IVF), soon turned into a pointed clash on Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and potential voter fraud. The former Daily Caller reporter, who found herself repeatedly…
