MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has announced his running mate in Minnesota’s gubernatorial race. Lindell, who has been fighting lawsuits from voting machine companies over his claims that the 2020 election was rigged, announced his run for governor in December of last year. Now, the CEO of MyPillow has selected his running mate, and it’s former Navy intelligence officer Phillip Parish. Mediaite provided further details on Lindell and Parish’s run: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell announced his lieutenant governor pick Monday as part of his long-shot bid for governor of Minnesota. Lindell first launched his campaign in December. Announcing the news on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Lindell vowed to “stand for you against the rampant fraud under Governor [Tim] Walz” and “stand for you against unnecessary regulation that strangle the entrepreneurial spirit,” among other things. He also campaign on supporting those “struggling with addiction.” On Monday, Lindell revealed his running mate would be Phillip Parish. A former intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy, Parrish decided to end his own bid for governor to join Lindell. “Just Officially Filed!” Lindell said in a tweet. “The two best gubernatorial candidates are joining forces! I’m honored to officially announce @PhillipCParrish as my Lieutenant Governor in my campaign for Governor of Minnesota.” Take a look: Just Officially Filed!

We need a different input to get a different output!@realMikeLindell pic.twitter.com/jKarYpjgA4 — Bannon’s WarRoom (@Bannons_WarRoom) June 2, 2026 Yahoo News provided polling for the Republican gubernatorial primary: There has been little recent independent polling regarding the Minnesota GOP primary, leaving the race largely untested among voters. A May poll released by Lindell’s campaign—conducted by Big Data Poll—suggested he would narrowly win the primary with 21.3 percent of the vote, compared with 19.4 percent for Minnesota House Speaker Lisa Demuth. The survey, which included 1,236 registered voters and was conducted between May 18 and May 20, reported a margin of error of plus or minus 2.8 percentage points. In a hypothetical scenario in which Trump endorsed Lindell, the poll found his support would increase to 35.9 percent, compared with 13.9 percent for Demuth. Trump has not made a formal endorsement in the race. However, internal campaign polling is not independently verified. The only recent publicly available independent survey—conducted by Peak Insights between January 31 and February 1 and compiled by polling tracker FiftyPlusOne—showed Lindell at 18 percent and Demuth at 17 percent, with all other candidates in the low teens or single digits. Prediction markets suggest a different outcome. According to Polymarket, Demuth is favored to win the Republican primary, with roughly 64 percent odds compared with about 22 percent for Lindell.

The firing of Scott Pelley from 60 Minutes already made headlines. Now the reason behind it is out in the open. A termination letter from the show’s new executive producer, Nick Bilton, has surfaced, and it lays out exactly why Pelley was shown the door. The short version is that Pelley made himself impossible to work with, and Bilton ended it for cause, effective immediately. Joe Concha posted the letter on X and said it told you everything you needed to know. This letter from 60 Minutes’ new EP, Nick Bilton, is so telling and transparent. It’ll be hilarious to listen to anyone defend Pelley after reading this. And when they do, they will do so dishonestly. Letter from Bilton to Pelley below. pic.twitter.com/t5qjM8sEgw — Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) June 3, 2026 Concha wrote that the letter was “so telling and transparent” and predicted that anyone defending Pelley after reading it would be doing so dishonestly. NBC News reported that it obtained a copy of the letter Bilton sent to Pelley. According to NBC, Bilton said Pelley’s antipathy to the show’s future had come through clearly, and that his CBS employment was terminated for cause effective immediately. Bilton also sent a separate note to 60 Minutes staff, according to NBC, saying he had made repeated attempts to talk directly with Pelley and tried to find common ground. That is the first key point: Bilton’s side is not that Pelley asked tough questions. It is that Pelley chose a public ambush over a private conversation. The Daily Beast published more of the letter’s language: Bilton’s explosive termination letter to Pelley was shared by Puck reporter Dylan Byers on Tuesday. The letter was also obtained by The New York Times. “I started this job excited to collaborate and to benefit from the wisdom and experience of the 60 Minutes veterans, with you among them,“ Bilton wrote, saying he invited Pelley to dinner. “It is a profound disappointment that you rejected that overture and chose ambush instead. Yesterday, you hijacked my first meeting with staff to disparage me, my qualifications, and my intentions with remarkable incivility and contempt.” Bilton called Pelley’s comments on Monday a “performative display of hostility-enacted in front of the staff instead of in a civil, private conversation demonstrated that you have no interest in contributing to the future success of the show, or approaching my new tenure with a mind open to collaboration and progress.” That is not soft language. That is a boss documenting why he believes the relationship was already broken. Pelley, for his part, told The Daily Beast the letter showed a complete misunderstanding of what 60 Minutes works for and lives for. That is the kind of line that sounds noble until you read what actually happened in that staff meeting. Eric Daugherty also pointed to the same core issue: CBS did not frame this as a slow-motion exit. NOW: In a HUGE FAFO moment, CBS has just TERMINATED 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley’s contract, "EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY" Pelley accused Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of "MURDERING" the show and got into a heated meeting Executive Producer fired back in a scathing letter: "Your… pic.twitter.com/magpFWa4Om — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 3, 2026 The picture Bilton paints is not of a principled stand. It is of an aging anchor who would rather torch a new manager in front of colleagues than have a grown-up talk over dinner. For years the legacy media treated men like Pelley as untouchable institutions unto themselves. The letter reads like the end of that era, where even a 60 Minutes legend can be told no and shown the exit when he picks a public fight. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

Scott Pelley is out at 60 Minutes, and it happened fast. Multiple reports say the longtime correspondent was fired after he attacked the show’s new leadership in front of staff, accusing CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of “murdering” the program. This is the kind of media shakeup that does not happen often. A celebrated network figure torched the new bosses on day one and got walked out the door. Benny Johnson flagged the news on X as it broke. Scott Pelley of ‘60 Minutes’ has been fired by CBS pic.twitter.com/b4zECNZS1F — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) June 3, 2026 Axios reported that Nick Bilton, the newly installed executive producer of 60 Minutes, fired Pelley after Pelley assailed him in front of staff members during a meeting on Bilton’s first day on the job. The Daily Beast reported that Bilton’s explosive letter firing the longtime correspondent had already leaked. Here is the backdrop, because the timing tells the whole story. Bari Weiss’s team has been remaking CBS News, and the latest round hit the network’s flagship news magazine hard. Fox News Digital laid out exactly what changed and how leadership had tried to keep Pelley on before the confrontation: CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss and newly appointed “60 Minutes” executive producer Nick Bilton made multiple overtures to the show’s veteran correspondent Scott Pelley before the tense showdown he had with the incoming boss, Fox News Digital has learned. Weiss sent shock waves across the media landscape on Thursday with the ousting of “60 Minutes” correspondents Sharyn Alfonsi and Cecilia Vega, as well as executive producer Tanya Simon among others, marking an editorial shift in the long-running news magazine program with Weiss handpicking an outsider to lead its path forward. Prior to Monday’s staff meeting, where Pelley had a contentious exchange with Bilton about the dismissals, both Weiss and Bilton had reached out to Pelley expressing their desire to have him remain a “60 Minutes” correspondent and that he hadn’t engaged with them before the war of words unfolded, according to a source familiar with CBS News leadership. However, it is unclear whether Weiss and Bilton still hold that sentiment towards Pelley, particularly after he lashed out at his bosses in front of the staff. That was the pre-firing picture: management had tried to keep Pelley, but the meeting blew up anyway. He no longer has the job. What Pelley actually said is the part that matters here. The AP reported, citing Status reporting and a recording, that Pelley accused Weiss of murdering the show and said Bilton had slender qualifications. Fox News Digital reported Pelley told Bilton that Weiss was murdering 60 Minutes, did not love the place, and was brought in to kill it. That is not a quiet disagreement over editorial direction. That is a public broadside against the people who just took over. None of this is happening in a vacuum, and Trump-world noticed immediately. Pelley had already taken aim at Paramount and CBS leadership over the network’s handling of 60 Minutes during President Trump’s legal fight with CBS and Paramount. He later slammed Trump’s lawsuits against journalists and companies as being filed “for nothing” during a Wake Forest commencement address. So when the new regime moved in and Pelley went after them, the reaction on the right was swift. NOW: In a HUGE FAFO moment, CBS has just TERMINATED 60 Minutes anchor Scott Pelley’s contract, "EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY" Pelley accused Editor-in-chief Bari Weiss of "MURDERING" the show and got into a heated meeting Executive Producer fired back in a scathing letter: "Your… pic.twitter.com/magpFWa4Om — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 3, 2026 Reports say the termination was effective immediately, with Bilton firing back in a scathing letter that has since leaked. As of publication, the firing trail runs through Axios, The Daily Beast, and the X posts above. For years the old 60 Minutes treated itself as untouchable. New ownership, new leadership, and a correspondent who picked a fight on day one just learned otherwise. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

President Trump keeps walking into medical exams and keeps walking out with strong numbers, and at least one reporter wanted to know why he bothers going back so often. The answer came from CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz at the White House briefing on June 2, 2026. The question was the usual setup. If the president is in such good health, why does he keep returning to his doctors for more checkups? Oz did not flinch. He said Trump likes the results, does really well, and aces the test every single day. He added that the president is meticulous and wants to know all of his numbers. “Treating stupid is really hard.” CMS Administrator Dr. Oz gives his medical advice for Americans suffering from "the very serious ailment" of Trump Derangement Syndrome. pic.twitter.com/ObU1AHjokE — Fox News (@FoxNews) June 2, 2026 That is not a man hiding from his doctors. That is a man who treats his health like he treats everything else, by checking the numbers and staying on top of it. The skepticism is familiar. Reporters who spent years pretending Joe Biden was sharp now want to interrogate why a healthy president keeps getting checked out. The published numbers do not help their story. The latest physical was done at Walter Reed, and the released physician memo said Trump remains in excellent health and fully fit for duty. The reported details back that up. Trending Politics reported Oz’s answer this way: While speaking during a White House press briefing on Tuesday, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz responded to a reporter’s inquiry about the frequency of President Donald Trump’s medical evaluations. “If the president is in such perfect health, why does he keep going back in for checkups?” the reporter asked. “I think he likes the results. He does really well.” “He aces the test every single day. I do actually believe that he is curious to make sure everything is going in the right direction,” Dr. Oz responded. “He’s a very meticulous person in so many ways that are often under appreciated. But for him to want to know all the numbers and keep on top of him, it’s the same reason he calls people at you know, odd hours because something’s on his mind. He wants to deal with it.” According to coverage of the memo from CBS News, the exam showed strong cardiovascular and overall results. The reported figures included a cardiac age roughly 14 years younger than his chronological age. Blood pressure came in at 105/71, with a resting heart rate of 73 and oxygen saturation at 98 percent. Cardiac testing was reported as normal, and a cognitive screening came back at 30 out of 30. Those are not borderline numbers. They are the kind of results a president would want released. That is the point Oz was making. Trump goes back because he likes seeing the scores, not because anyone is covering for him. The double standard writes itself. When the numbers are weak, the press looks away. When the numbers are strong, the press wants to know why a man keeps proving it. Trump answered that question the easiest way possible, by acing the test and putting the results in front of the country.

Hasan Piker has spent years building one of the biggest left-wing audiences on the internet, lecturing millions of young viewers from his Twitch stream about politics, morality, and the failures of the right. A new exclusive report says the man behind the brand looks very different in private. The New York Post published a lengthy investigation Tuesday alleging that Piker’s offline behavior is, in the paper’s words, “seedy” and “sex-obsessed,” and at odds with the progressive image he sells to his fans. The Post laid out the report in a post on X: Hasan Piker's seedy, sex obsessed life: Soliciting nudes, list of best breasts, and a separate laptop for porn https://t.co/uwpG2xCn0Q pic.twitter.com/nlcXvw13UL — New York Post (@nypost) June 2, 2026 According to the paper, sources who know Piker described a pattern of behavior that included soliciting nude photos, keeping crude rankings of women, and maintaining separate hardware for adult content. The New York Post described the allegations this way: He may be the Communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, but when the cameras are off, the real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven, sources claim. Although he recently debuted a more serious image, donning spectacles and suits for his broadcasts, those close to the 34-year-old told The Post he’s still a pervy, porn-obsessed frat boy — impulses they say get in the way of him ever realizing his goal of making it in the mainstream. “Off camera he is very stiff and impersonal. I can’t tell how much of what he says he actually believes. He definitely leverages it to creep on women,” a former pal told The Post. Sources noted Piker regularly boasts about receiving nude photos from fans and how he claims to watch porn on a laptop dedicated to that purpose propped up on his chest so he can “still see” his penis. Piker — who this week was banned from speaking in the UK over his extreme leftwing views — was born in New Jersey but grew up in Istanbul, Turkey, where his parents hail from. When he’s not railing against US imperialism, showing his support for China or Cuba or saying he’d vote for terror group Hamas over the Israeli government, Piker solicits nudes from his female fans, according to a streamer he previously worked with, pictures he apparently revels in showing off to others. YouTuber Mizkif also claimed he had seen hundreds of nudes on the host’s phone. Piker did not return The Post’s requests for comment for this article. The report leans on accounts from people the paper says have personal knowledge of Piker’s conduct. Those sources, as quoted by the Post, describe a public figure whose real interests run far from the political crusading that built his following. The stakes are bigger because Piker is one of the most-watched political streamers in the country, with a massive young audience and growing ambitions to be taken seriously in mainstream media circles. That ambition is exactly what the report calls into question. Bart Marcois shared the Post’s story and highlighted the lines driving much of the reaction: Hasan Piker's seedy, sex-obsessed life: Soliciting nudes, lists of best breasts, and a separate laptop for porn “The real Hasan Piker is shallow and sex-driven.” “I can’t tell what he actually believes. He definitely leverages it all to creep on women..” https://t.co/KzrFGxcBRP — Bart Marcois (@bmarcois) June 3, 2026 The accusation cuts directly at Piker’s public pitch. He has positioned himself as a voice of conscience for young progressives, while the Post’s sources describe a private life far uglier than the image projected on camera. Piker has built a brand out of brushing off criticism from the right, and the allegations in the Post’s report have not been proven in court. Still, for an influencer whose appeal rests heavily on authenticity, this is the kind of report that follower counts and livestream bluster cannot easily bury.
