Furious liberals blame Bari Weiss takeover at CBS after Democrat leader fumbles tough question on ‘Face the Nation’
A less-than-impressive interview performance from House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on “Face the Nation” led many on the left to melt down on social media.
Host Margaret Brennan forced Jeffries to answer a question about the hypocritical framing of rigged elections and redistricting in the midterm elections. Many believed Brennan had been ordered to be tougher on Democrats in the wake of Free Press founder Bari Weiss being hired to lead CBS News.
‘How do you justify using that now? Doesn’t that undermine faith for voters you need to show up?’
“You said, ‘Democrats, there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle,'” Brennan said Sunday.
“You said that back in January. But recently, you’ve been using the term ‘rigged elections’ in reference to the upcoming midterms,” she added. “Democrats were appalled when President Trump used language like that. How do you justify using that now? Doesn’t that undermine faith for voters you need to show up?”
“No, I’ve been using that term in the context of Donald Trump’s unprecedented effort to gerrymander congressional maps in a partisan fashion all across the country in order to rig the midterm elections and deny the ability of the American people to actually decide who should be in the majority as it relates to the House of Representatives,” Jeffries responded.
Brennan interrupted and contradicted Jeffries.
“You know Democrats are also going through gerrymandering and redistricting,” she said.
“No, no, no,” Jeffries responded. “Democrats are going to push back aggressively to make sure that we have fair maps across the country, not partisan gerrymandering, which Republicans have initiated in state after state after state.”
While the episode merely represented a small burst of fair-minded journalism on Brennan’s part, many on the left fell into hysteria and panic over the unexpected blow.
“Really shameful from @margbrennan,” Keith Olbermann replied. “Never talked like that to any MAGA liars she‘s platformed but happy to do it to Jeffries in an attempt to get Bari Weiss to NOT fire her. Just vacuous and amoral.”
“Scary. After Bari Weiss’s takeover of CBS, Margaret Brennan sounds like a Newsmax host in this interview with Hakeem Jeffries,” attorney Kaivan Shroff responded.
“Margaret Brennan’s hostility toward Jeffries compared to her deference toward Bessent and Graham demonstrates the chilling authoritarian takeover of CBS,” one response reads.
“Totally inappropriate Margaret. There was no reason to speak like that to Jeffries,” another detractor said. “I guess we know where you got your orders from. I was hoping changes would not happen under Bari. I guess I was wrong. Sorry but I will no longer be watching you or this show.”
The entire Jeffries interview can be viewed on the show’s YouTube channel.

New butterfly species named in honor of Ukrainian woman brutally murdered on Charlotte light rail
A scientist who helped identify a new butterfly species said it would be named after Iryna Zarutska to “immortalize” her memory.
Harry Pavulaan, the president and director of the International Lepidoptera Survey, said that he’s still emotional when thinking about the stabbing death of the Ukrainian woman, allegedly at the hands of a repeat criminal.
‘This will outlast most other tributes because it’s a living organism. Her name will be immortalized as a butterfly.’
“When I saw the story break,” said Pavulaan, “I’m 70 years old, and I’m still driven to tears.”
Pavulaan told ABC News that the butterfly had been first spotted in South Carolina by researcher Ronald Gatrelle in 1985 but that it had not been officially named. Pavulaan himself collected specimens of the insect in 2018. It took several years to determine that it was the “first known hybrid introgression” for the species.
While it had been initially named something else, Pavulaan decided to honor Zarutska after seeing the surveillance videos of her death.
“This will outlast most other tributes because it’s a living organism. Her name will be immortalized as a butterfly,” he added.
He added that he had been in contact with Zarutska’s family, and they had told him they were hopeful the honor would help them find closure about her death.
Decarlos Brown, 34, was arrested and charged for Zarutska’s murder. If convicted, he will be eligible for the death penalty.
Zarutska’s horrific stabbing death was captured on surveillance video from the light rail system. She had just finished working at her job at a pizzeria and had texted her boyfriend that she was going home, according to her attorney.
The new butterfly species will be named “Iryna’s Azure.”

Man arrested for posting TikTok murder-for-hire threat against Pam Bondi, FBI says
A Minnesota man has been arrested over a TikTok video that put a $45,000 bounty on the head of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
On Oct. 9, the FBI said it received a tip about the post that showed an image of Bondi with the caption, “WANTED: Pam Bondi. REWARD: 45,000. DEAD OR ALIVE (PREFERABLY DEAD).” The user also placed a “sniperscope red dot” on Bondi’s forehead in the image.
Prosecutors argued that the post was not a joke and constituted a deliberate threat of violence.
The post also had the caption, “*Cough cough* when they don’t serve us then what?”
The FBI was able to trace the post to 30-year-old Tyler Maxon Avalos, who lived at an apartment in St. Paul, according to an affidavit.
The post made several references to anarchism, according to the FBI. One of those was a link to a book titled, “An Anarchist FAQ Book.”
Even more alarming, Avalos has a long criminal history. In 2022 he was convicted of felony stalking, and in 2016 he was convicted of misdemeanor domestic assault. Also in 2016 he was convicted of felony third-degree domestic battery, which was a strangulation charge that was reduced.

Prosecutors argued that the post was not a joke and constituted a deliberate threat of violence.
The man appeared before a federal magistrate judge in Minneapolis and was released on his own recognizance.

Is it time to prepare for civil war? Glenn Beck’s answer might surprise you …
As the gap between the right and left continues to widen, whispers that we’re on the verge of civil war are rumbling across the nation. Some people are even wondering if they should start preparing.
Is this wisdom or folly?
Glenn Beck’s answer: Both.
“We must win the midterms, and we must win 2028,” Glenn emphasizes.
President Trump designating Antifa as a terrorist organization and vowing to investigate and potentially prosecute George Soros via his Open Society Foundations, the Ford Foundation, and other nonprofits for allegedly funding Antifa and related left-wing violence is a public declaration of war.
“When they have the opportunity to punch back, they are going to punch back. God help us,” Glenn says ominously.
He warns that if Trump doesn’t completely “wipe [the Antifa network] out,” retribution will rain like fire when the political tides turn.
In other words, civil war won’t look like citizens fighting in the streets; it’ll be warfare at the administrative level.
In some ways, it’s already happening. “They are blocking the feds from actually doing constitutionally what they’re supposed to do,” says Glenn. “And that then triggers the Constitution on an insurrection, which would mean the government then has the right and the power to go into those states and put down an insurrection.”
The fact that we’re even having to ponder the possibility of a civil war means that we’re close to one, he says frankly. “The likelihood of going into a civil war is higher than any other time in my lifetime because we’re all asking that question of is this going to lead to a civil war?”
The fact that Democrat officials are “using police to go against federal police” is a sign things are headed in the wrong direction.
Glenn estimates that the chances of civil war breaking out are sitting at about 15%-20% right now. “We now have proof that they are doing a color revolution here in America,” he says.
Meanwhile, X is saturated with posts encouraging people to riot and loot if SNAP benefits run out in the midst of the government shutdown.
“The perception here for a lot of people on the left is: The only way to solve [problems] is through violence,” says Glenn.
“That number is growing, and the apathy toward political violence is growing probably faster than the actual people that would commit the violence,” he adds.
But even if all of this does point to imminent civil war, Glenn urges his listeners to hope and pray against it.
“They’re dead serious about color revolution. … We have to go the opposite direction and try at all costs to hold things together, keep people peaceful as long as possible, to hopefully turn this corner because a corner is being turned,” he warns.

Indiana governor fights back after Gavin Newsom plots to deliver Congress to Democrats
Indiana Governor Mike Braun (R) announced on Monday that he was calling a special legislative session “to protect Hoosiers from efforts in other states that seek to diminish their voice in Washington and ensure their representation in Congress is fair.”
States across the country are set to redraw or at least reconsider their congressional boundaries ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, where a Democratic gain of three seats would break the GOP’s hold on the House of Representatives.
‘The people of Indiana did not elect a Republican supermajority so our Senate could cower, compromise, or collapse at the very moment courage is required.’
After a great deal of hand-wringing about Texas Republicans’ successful adoption in August of a new congressional map that could net the GOP five extra seats, California Democrats responded with a new map that would create five new majority-Democrat districts should voters cast ballots in support of Proposition 50 on Nov. 4.
Among the other states that have looked at their respective maps with minds to help fellow travelers keep or take Congress are:
- Missouri, where Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe recently signed a new map into law;
- Kansas, where GOP state Senate President Ty Masterson announced on Monday that a sufficient number of signatures had been collected from Senate Republicans for a special session on redistricting;
- North Carolina, where last week the GOP-controlled legislature passed a new congressional map that could give Republicans an additional House seat; and
- Virginia, where Democratic lawmakers are reportedly preparing to launch a redistricting push this week.
Governor Braun indicated that the special legislative session for the Indiana General Assembly will convene on Nov. 3.
The governor’s announcement comes just days after a spokeswoman for Indiana Senate President Pro Tempore Rodric Bray told Politico, “The votes aren’t there for redistricting.”

Braun’s decision to set a date may be a sign of newfound intestinal fortitude among those remaining holdouts who have been under intense pressure not only from the White House but by fellow Indianans to play to win.
Even Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk threatened prior to his assassination to “support primary opponents for Republicans in the Indiana State Legislature who refuse to support the team and redraw the maps,” adding that “it’s time for Republicans to be TOUGH” and not to “let California steal the 2026 house from us.”
Indiana Sen. Jim Banks (R) noted in the wake of Kirk’s passing, “They killed Charlie Kirk — the least that we can do is go through a legal process and redistrict Indiana into a nine-to-zero map.”
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith (R) said in a statement on Wednesday, “The people of Indiana did not elect a Republican supermajority so our Senate could cower, compromise, or collapse at the very moment courage is required. Yet, here we are again. The Indiana Republican-controlled Senate is failing to stand with President Trump, failing to defend the voice of Hoosier voters, and failing to deliver the 9-0 conservative map our citizens overwhelmingly expect.”
Beckwith suggested that his colleagues rediscover their backbones, remember who elected them to office, and “reclaim Indiana’s rightful voice in Congress by drawing a 9-0 map.”
Following Braun’s announcement, Indiana House Speaker Todd Huston (R) said in a statement obtained by WGN-TV, “We’ve received the Governor’s call for a special session and will continue having conversations within our caucus and with our counterparts in the Senate on our next steps.”
Following Braun’s announcement, Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita indicated that he is ready to defend the new map in court once it “gets across the finish line.”
