This will be the only edition of the newsletter this week, as I'm going on vacation for a few days.

WHAT THE HELL IS WOKE 2?

Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez copped to something conservatives have been saying for years: woke got a little crazy.

But AOC admitted something else important: apparently the excesses of the progressive cultural movement around 2020 were only "Woke 1."

Sorry, there's a Woke 2?!

A Wisconsin family filed an Aug. 6 lawsuit against a former Milwaukee gynecologist for allegedly impregnating a woman using his own sperm without her consent.

Mary Ellen Lukezich and her son Joseph Laedtke Heider sued Dr. Frederick Dettmann, who was Lukezich's fertility doctor in 1982, according to local outlet WISN. After Lukezich sought treatment, which was unsuccessful, Dettmann suggested she try artificial insemination, according to the lawsuit cited by WISN.

Dettmann allegedly told Lukezich that the sperm donor would remain anonymous and would be a "healthy, young medical school student," the same lawsuit states. Lukezich and her son learned Dettmann is his biological father after Heider submitted a DNA sample to Ancestry.com in 2024. The results of the DNA sample indicated Heider had multiple half-siblings who Dettmann also fathered.

Heider recalled learning that he had multiple half-siblings, according to NBC News.

"I got an email from Ancestry, which is the company that I ordered the DNA test from, that I had a half-sister," Laedtke said. "And so when I went into my DNA results and the relationships, I had noticed

President Donald Trump's political team urged Ohio Republicans to tone down the PR campaign seeking to get Republican Ohio Rep. Max Miller to withdraw from his reelection race, Politico reported Monday.

Trump officials reportedly warned party leaders that Miller would not drop out and that pressuring him to do so would complicate their messaging when they had to defend his seat against his Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, according to Politico. Trump previously warned Miller that things did not look good for his political career, though he never publicly called on the Ohio Republican to drop out.

"They basically told us to back off and let the voters decide," an Ohio Republican told Politico. (RELATED: Is There Any Hope For Ohio Republicans To Replace Max Miller?)

NEW: Politico says Trump personally intervened to keep Max Miller on the ballot despite the credible allegations of domestic abuse against him — he called Miller directly and then dispatched his political team to strong-arm Ohio Republicans into abandoning their effort to force…

The podcast "Talkin' Baseball" asked fans of all 30 MLB franchises to name who they believed was the most overrated player of all time, which, on paper, is going to spark debates. But there's one fan in particular that has people a bit irked.

You had fans having some understandable answers, such as Derek Jeter and Jose Altuve. But then there was a fan of the soon-to-be Las Vegas Athletics who said, get this, Hank Aaron.

Um, what? (RELATED: Golfer Films Himself Getting Struck By Lightning After Committing Two Of The Biggest No-Nos)

This absolutely enraged social media.

Like imagine hitting 755 bombs and knocking in over 2,000 runs while being called “monkey” “”n—ger” and receiving death threats your entire career.

Then some 20-something whonmever watched that player play comes around and calls them “overrated”

Following the sudden death of Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, the race to replace him is shaping up as a pivotal moment for the state GOP.

The Daily Caller spoke with several South Carolina sources to provide a clearer picture of the candidates and the race's shifting dynamics.

For more than two decades, the late Sen. Graham's hawkish foreign policy views and influence within the Republican Party helped shape politics in the Palmetto State and left a lasting mark on the state's GOP. (RELATED: Lindsey Graham's Sister, Interim Replacement Says She's Running For Full Term)

Lindsey Graham's sudden death sent shockwaves through Republican circles, immediately forcing party leaders to confront who would temporarily fill his seat — and who could ultimately inherit the political network and influence he built over decades in office.

The first question was answered swiftly, with

At least 169 people in Colombia died after a 7.4 magnitude earthquake hit the western part of the country Monday, leaving many still trapped in buildings and underneath rubble as of Tuesday morning.

Colombian President Abelardo de la Espriella, inaugurated Friday, said in a public statement that the earthquake injured around 700 people and damaged or destroyed around 5,000 homes. He declared a national disaster and reported 188 people missing, three hospitals collapsed, and 18 other hospitals as well as 39 schools left damaged.

Seven airports in the area suspended operations, according to NBC News.

People started recording missing loved ones on digital databases Monday, and, by late afternoon, one database had more than 2,000 people missing, mostly in Cali and Pereira.

The city of Pereira, one of the hardest cities hit, lost all power, leaving the city dark while rescue teams continued to search for survivors, according to CBS News.

A would-be carjacker had a rude surprise Monday when the intended victim didn't back down despite being shot.

Philadelphia police say the would-be carjacker brandished a handgun and fired at the driver of a blue Volvo, wounding him before the driver drew his own handgun and returned fire, NBC 10, a Philadelphia-area TV station, reported. The suspect fled after the exchange of gunfire and is still being sought by police. (RELATED: Trump's DOJ Probing Blue City Over Concealed Carry Permits)

The driver is in stable condition at an area hospital; it is unknown whether the would-be carjacker was struck by any rounds. Philadelphia was required to issue permits on a "shall issue" basis after 1995's Act 17, which ended its unique status allowing it to retain discretion following 1989 legislation in response to a court ruling.

Despite Pennsylvania law making the entire state a "shall issue" state—with its laws requiring authorities to issue permits

If Usher was trying to remind people why celebrities have a reputation for being out of touch, mission accomplished.

A viral video showing the singer refusing to walk through a door until someone else held it open for him has become a perfect snapshot of the kind of celebrity entitlement that frustrates so many people.

Opening a door is one of the simplest tasks imaginable. Yet, the video snippet projected an image of someone completely unwilling to perform a basic task on his own, as if he believed he was more important than the person who scrambled to help him.

Usher is going viral after a woman had to open the door for him instead of him doing the gentleman thing. 😭

Was Usher wrong for this or nah? 😭👀 pic.twitter.com/BsDMi2drzK

The optics on this were terrible. In an era when many people are struggling with rising costs, long work hours, and the challenges of everyday life, watching a multimillionaire's refusal to enter a space unless a door is held open for him is completely disconnected

A federal court shot down youth climate activists' bid to revive a lawsuit targeting the Trump administration's fossil fuel push.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Monday refused to rehear the lawsuit brought by twenty-two young climate activists, which initially challenged President Donald Trump's fossil fuel agenda, leaving intact a panel decision that found the plaintiffs lacked standing. The youths in Lighthiser v. Trump argued that Trump's executive orders promoting fossil fuel development would increase emissions and worsen climate-related harms in the future.

The 22 plaintiffs, from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California and Florida, filed Lighthiser v. Trump in Montana District Court in May 2025. In October 2025, the Montana court dismissed the youths' lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction, despite finding "overwhelming evidence" that "climate change" will harm the plaintiffs in the future and defining the situation as "children's health emergency."

The plaintiffs appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in June 2026, with a three-judge panel affirming the Montana court's decision. The plaintiffs then petitioned for en banc

The wide open Aug. 18 GOP primary for a deep red Florida House seat features two scandal-plagued former members of Congress — and half of its ten candidates previously ran for Congress in other states.

One of these candidates, entrepreneur and former Commerce Department official Catalina Lauf, 33, ran in a crowded 2020 Illinois House primary, losing by single digits to a man who also happens to be vying in the Sunshine State's August contest. Lauf told the Daily Caller News Foundation during an interview that while there are many hotly-contested midterm races, none are as "juicy" as the Republican primary for Florida's 19th Congressional District.

An October 2025 Axios report referred to the race as "the GOP's carpetbagger primary," while CNN on Sunday called the diverse field a "clown show." It also notably features a male underwear model who spent three years in jail after taking part in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

An observer from Washington D.C. described the chaotic race "as an island

What a goof this guy is.

Abdul El-Sayed, a Democratic nominee to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate, made the argument that "toxic masculinity" is at the heart of football. He also said that racism, homophobia and misogyny exists in the culture of the sport. And get this, he used to play football himself in high school. (RELATED: Teddy Bridgewater Retires, Lions Pivot To Joshua Dobbs For Backup Quarterback Duties)

The comments were made by El-Sayed in a Substack post from 2021, with the left-winger responding to then-Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden resigning from his job. Gruden had emails that became public that contained language considered racist, homophobic and misogynistic.

"The toxic masculinity at the heart of America's most popular sport — and men's sports culture more generally — is way deeper than a few emails or a Jay-Z turnaround," wrote El-Sayed, per The Midwesterner.

Abdul El-Sayed wrote in 2021 that football was filled with “toxic masculinity” and the sport was racist and homophobic. https://t.co/CB0PKqfDUh
