Seth Moulton for suggesting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should be executed for alleged war crimes, a claim that even CNN's Anderson Cooper expressed disbelief over. The Washington Free Beacon reported on the termination of Louisa Loveluck from The Washington Post, citing past instances where her reporting on Israel and Hamas fell short of the paper's standards. Meanwhile, a controversy emerged over Democratic candidate Grant Platner's past Nazi tattoo, with CNN's Abby Phillip challenging Meidas Touch's Adam Mockler on the party's handling of the issue.
