FIRST ON FOX — Lyndsey Fifield never believed ex-boyfriend Graham Platner was fit for office and suspects a friendly text exchange years after their relationship ended was intended to see if she would keep his skeletons in the closet.  Fifield, who dated Platner between 2013-2015, was among the women to speak out about Platner’s controversial past before he officially dropped out of the Maine Senate race Wednesday night amid mounting party pressure.  Roughly a decade after their relationship ended, Fifield said she received a random text from Platner in June 2025. She recalled Platner being friendly and expressing happiness that she found success, complimenting her "happy family" photos posted on Instagram.  NEW YORK TIMES UNDER SCRUTINY OVER GRAHAM PLATNER COVERAGE AS ACCUSERS SPEAK OUT AGAINST PAPER Then, Platner joked about not having to worry about anything "unflattering" from his past because he’s a simple oyster farmer and "oysters don’t require a clea...

Manny Rutinel, a state legislator and Democratic candidate for Congress in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, has a long track record of activism against ranching and other animal-related businesses — even as the district he’s running to represent depends heavily on the sector. His past positions cast doubt on his current posture towards the meat business as he looks to unseat Rep. Gabe Evans, R-Colo., in one of the most competitive districts in the country. Rutinel said he had recently rethought his position towards ranching during an interview with the Colorado Sun late last year.

Democrat New York Gov. Kathy Hochul suggested Rep. Elise Stefanik would have been a tougher Republican opponent than GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman this fall, prompting the Nassau County executive to fire back by comparing the incumbent to Disney villain Cruella de Vil while blasting her record. Hochul made the remarks during an interview with Newsday's editorial board after she was asked whether Stefanik, who publicly considered running for governor before declining, would have been a stronger general election opponent than Blakeman. "Probably. I mean, Bruce is, you know, Bruce," Hochul said. NY GOVERNOR HOPEFUL VOWS SHOWDOWN WITH MAMDANI OVER SOCIALIST AGENDA: ‘I WILL STOP HIM’ The governor said Stefanik's national profile would have changed the dynamics of the race. "She had the ability to raise a lot of money" because of her national following, Hochul said. "It would have been a different race." HOCHUL PRESS OFFICE FEUDS WITH DAVE ...

During last year’s All-Star Weekend, WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert promised the league would fix its officiating problem . But nearly two months into the 2026 season, it appears everything is still a mess. Last year, poor officiating became one of the league's biggest storylines, overshadowing everything from playoff races to the WNBA Finals. Coaches publicly blasted referees, players openly questioned the consistency of calls, and Engelbert eventually acknowledged that something had to change.

The WNBA also hired longtime official Eric Brewton as its new referee performance and development advisor. And yet, here we are again.
