5th Woman Alleges Sexual Misconduct By Swalwell

A fifth woman accused U.S. Representative Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct on Tuesday, after the embattled Democratic congressman announced his resignation from the House of Representatives and said he was suspending his campaign for governor of California. At a press conference at her lawyer's offices in Beverly Hills, California, Lonna Drewes described a 2018 alleged encounter with Swalwell, accusing him of drugging her drink and raping her. Drewes said the lawmaker had previously invited her to two public events. The third time they met, she had a glass of wine that she believes he drugged. Drewes claimed that when they stopped at his hotel room, she was already incapacitated and he raped her. At one point, she said, he choked her and she lost consciousness. "I thought I died, " Drewes said. She said the incident had a profound effect on her mental health, and that she self-medicated, lost the will to live and cried constantly for years afterward. "My delay in taking action against Eric was driven by fear, not doubt. Fear of his political power,” Drewes said. A representative for Swalwell, who is married and has three children, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Drewes’ attorney, Lisa Bloom, said that her firm will be filing a police report with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s office. The firm will be providing evidence including text messages, journal entries and witness information. Swalwell, who had been a front-runner for the governorship of the U.S.' most populous state, ended his campaign shortly after The San Francisco Chronicle and CNN reported that a woman who previously worked in Swalwell's district office accused him of two nonconsensual sexual encounters. The woman told CNN that Swalwell raped her during the 2024 encounter in a New York City hotel. The woman, whom the Chronicle and CNN did not name, was quoted as saying she had been too intoxicated on both occasions to consent, according to the report. The Manhattan district attorney’s office on Saturday confirmed it is investigating the sexual assault allegations. CNN also reported that three other women made sexual misconduct allegations against Swalwell, who has been in the U.S. House of ⁠Representatives since 2013. In a statement posted on X Monday, Swalwell apologized to his family, staff and constituents for “mistakes in judgments I’ve made in my past” and vowed to fight “the serious, false allegation” against him. It was not immediately clear how soon Swalwell's resignation would take effect, but he said he would work with his staff to ensure his constituents are served in his absence. Swalwell's absence from the gubernatorial race leaves billionaire Tom Steyer and former Representative Katie Porter as the top remaining Democratic candidates to replace Gavin Newsom, who is completing the maximum of two terms. California has a primary system in which the top two candidates advance to the general election regardless of party.

Harvey Weinstein Going On Trial Again In NY Rape Case

Harvey Weinstein is going on trial again on a rape charge in New York City, after years of #MeToo infamy, legal peril and prison. Jury selection is set to start as early as Tuesday in the onetime movie mogul’s latest retrial. For the third time, jurors will weigh whether he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel in 2013. This time, jurors will weigh only one charge based on one accuser, rather than the array of allegations aired at Weinstein’s previous trials in New York and Los Angeles. The Oscar-winning producer denies all the claims.

U.S. & Iran May Resume Talks This Week Despite Port Blockade

Talks to end the Iran war could resume in Pakistan over the next two days, U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday, after the collapse of weekend negotiations prompted Washington to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. Gulf, Pakistani and Iranian officials also said negotiating teams from the U.S. and Iran could return to Pakistan later this week, though one senior Iranian source said no date had been set. "You should stay there, really, because something could be happening over the next two days, and we're more inclined to go there," Trump was quoted as saying in an interview with the New York Post. While the U.S. blockade drew angry rhetoric from Tehran, signs that diplomatic engagement might continue helped calm oil markets, pushing benchmark prices below $100 on Tuesday. The highest-level talks between the two adversaries since the 1979 Islamic Revolution ended in Islamabad without a breakthrough, raising doubts over the survival of a two-week ceasefire that still has a week to run. Among the slew of issues at stake were access to the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's nuclear program and international sanctions on Tehran. Since the United States and Israel began the war on February 28, Iran effectively shut the strait to nearly all vessels except its own, saying passage would be permitted only under Iranian control and subject to a fee. Nearly a fifth of global oil and gas supplies previously flowed through the narrow waterway, making the fallout from its closure widespread. In a countermeasure, the U.S. military said it began blocking shipping traffic in and out of Iran's ports on Monday. Tehran has threatened to hit naval ships going through the strait and to retaliate against its Gulf neighbors' ports.

As a Good Catholic Girl… I Have to Say THIS to Pope Leo XIV | The Erin Molan Show

Donald Trump has just gone after His Holiness, Pope Leo, in a way few world leaders ever have… and it’s sparked a debate that many Catholics aren’t quite sure how to navigate. Because this isn’t just political. It’s personal.

Benny Johnson and Keir Starmer… Pathetic and Weak

From Benny Johnson to Keir Starmer… it’s pathetic. It’s weak. And it’s getting harder to ignore. In Episode 131 of The Erin Molan Show, Erin takes apart one of the most absurd narratives circulating right now — the claim that Donald Trump was somehow “tricked” into war with Iran. Led by voices like Benny Johnson, this argument ignores decades of public statements, intelligence realities, and basic common sense. But the weakness doesn’t stop there. From Keir Starmer’s awkward attempt to project strength on the global stage… to Western activists heading toward Gaza with no understanding of the reality on the ground… to the growing collapse of credibility inside institutions like UNRWA — this episode exposes a pattern that’s becoming impossible to ignore. And then there’s the cultural shift that’s pushing division even further — where demonizing entire groups is not only accepted, but encouraged. At some point, enough is enough. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 – Welcome to Episode 131 00:30 – The “Trump Was Tricked” Narrative (Benny Johnson) 03:00 – Ally vs Enemy: The Logic That’s Missing 05:30 – Iran’s Threat & What People Are Ignoring 08:00 – Starmer’s “Strong Leader” Act Falls Apart 11:00 – The Gaza Flotilla Delusion 14:30 – UNRWA Controversy & Funding Collapse 17:30 – The Rise of Anti-White Rhetoric 20:30 – Final Thoughts: Enough Is Enough 🔥 Don’t miss a single moment.
