Sean “Diddy” Combs has been hit with a new civil lawsuit by an unnamed former child actor who is accusing the music mogul of sexually assaulting him in 2007.

Elections across the country this week have delivered no shortage of political drama, but two stories in particular are turning heads.

In Maine, several ex-girlfriends of Senate hopeful Graham Platner have hurled accusations of disturbing patterns of behavior at the Democrat — and his response hasn’t been promising.

Platner is also being accused of exchanging sexual text messages with women after he was married in 2023.

“So, Graham Platner, looking to move on from a week of controversy after telling supporters that his past had been weaponized,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere tells co-host Dave Landau. “That’s what happens, Dave. When you do something horrible and people catch you, that means they’re weaponizing what you’ve done.”

“Well, of course, it’s not being held accountable for the things you’ve done in your past. It’s just weaponizing the things you’ve done against you,” Dave jokes.

“When you’re a Democrat and you’re in one of these controversies, you’re able to live like this. No one asks any questions. You don’t address it, and no one follows up. What a wonderful way to be,” Stu says.

But it’s not just the Maine Senate election that is mired in controversy.

The Los Angeles mayoral race has shifted significantly over the weekend, as candidate Nithya Raman has passed Spencer Pratt for second place and will now go to the runoff against mayor Karen Bass.

“So we will have Democrat versus Democrat at the end of all of this,” Stu says.

“Are you saying that a system designed to lock out Republicans is locking out a Republican?” Dave asks.

Stu points out that there’s clearly a “tiny bit of skepticism by most people on the right that this is actually real and not just out-and-out fraud.”

“Well, I think it’s also because the way that it seems that the voting system works is you have the maybe some older conservatives come in early, you see the numbers, and then at the last minute, like a big giant bag of letters to Santa in a courtroom, all of a sudden they all just appear for one person,” Dave jokes.

“And they’re not even for Karen Bass. They’re just for this other person to then beat Spencer Pratt to then push Karen Bass forward,” he adds.

Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) ran to replace Ken Paxton as Texas attorney general but lost in the Republican primary runoff late last month to state Sen. Mayes Middleton. Roy's defeat was apparently achieved with help from a coalition of green-energy elites desperate to protect the gravy train that he threatened to derail in Congress.

One of the most full-throated celebrations of Roy's defeat came from the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC — a California-based political outfit committed to punishing lawmakers like Roy who've sought to deny federal subsidies to renewable energy giants.

'This is political warfare.'

"Good riddance, Chip Roy," the PAC, which spent $1.7 million to tank the Republican's campaign, said in a statement on May 26.

"As leaders within the clean energy industry, ITC PAC is proud of our role in ending Chip Roy’s political career, investing nearly $1.5 million to reach GOP voters where they are — including on conservative cable, streaming sites like Rumble, and on MAGA social media — to remind them that Chip Roy betrayed their leader," the group added.

As part of its subversive campaign, the PAC insinuated in MAGA voter-targeted messaging that it was supportive of President Donald Trump and aligned with conservatives but Roy was not.

An ad shared by the PAC to Truth Social in February, for instance, claimed that Roy — whose voting record the Conservative Review gave a 100% Liberty Score and Heritage Action gave a 98% lifetime score — was "not MAGA enough for Texas."

The PAC was launched by Peter Davidson, the CEO of Aligned Climate Capital, while Brendan Bell, the COO of Aligned Climate Capital, is listed as the PAC's treasurer. Both men previously worked for the Obama Department of Energy.

Davidson made no secret of why Roy was targeted.

"Not only did he and the Freedom Caucus have the whole rewind and sunsetting of the [tax credits] for solar and wind ... but the whole demonization of the industry, the whole language of the 'Green New Scam' — all that came from the Freedom Caucus, and that came from Chip Roy," Davidson told Politico.

Last year, for instance, Roy ruffled feathers in the "Green New Scam" industry by championing legislation with Rep. Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) that would repeal over 20 green energy tax subsidies created or expanded by the Biden administration's so-called Inflation Reduction Act, thereby saving taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars.

"The Inflation Reduction Act, better known as the Green New Scam, is providing massive unlimited subsidies to billion-dollar corporations and Chinese manufacturers to the detriment of American energy freedom and dominance," Roy said at the time.

"It is responsible for building ineffective, unattractive, and unwanted energy projects enriching paper investors over the objections of the people living in Texas communities I represent," Roy continued. "These subsidies need to go away immediately."

'Attack clean energy and we'll end your career just like Chip Roy's.'

When the PAC took to social media to gloat about his defeat, Roy proved unshaken in his resolve, stating in response, "I didn't just declare war — I led the charge to successfully crush the crony 'green new scam' grift. Happy to do it. Will do it again. And again. I'm just getting started."

The biggest donor to the subversive climate PAC that targeted Roy is Chris Larsen, a billionaire activist and cryptocurrency executive who partnered earlier this year with former head of the Sierra Club Michael Brune on a "climate change"-focused investment and philanthropy fund.

In a revelatory conversation that took place at the Prelude Climate Summit in May, Larsen and Brune discussed the devious plot to manipulate the right into getting onside with the climate agenda — partly by adjusting their rhetoric to conform with rightist talking points; by leveraging existing, ostensibly conservative-leaning organizations; and by attacking conservative opponents from the right.

When asked about Roy's race, Larsen boasted that his fellow travelers torpedoed the congressman's polling numbers with "aggressive ads," adding, "This is political warfare."

Although Larsen and Brune acknowledged that Middleton was not "good on climate," Larsen said the point of this particular sabotage exercise was "to make an example of" Roy.

Rep. Roy could not immediately be reached for comment.

Given general elections in various red regions are no longer competitive for Democrats thanks to successful Republican redistricting initiatives, Larsen indicated that their next play is to back Trojan-horse candidates in GOP races.

"There's going to be more and more districts as we all know that just aren’t competitive unless you just say, 'Okay, well I'm just going to be playing in Republican primaries,'" Larsen said. "There's gonna be, like, a Chip Roy, and there's gonna maybe be a Romney-type person, right? Let's get behind the person who's all-in for low-cost energy of all kinds."

Like Larsen and Brune, the Invest in Tomorrow Coalition PAC made abundantly clear that Roy wouldn't be the last lawmaker targeted for daring to end the gravy train to climate elites.

"ITC PAC will spend millions going after enemies of American clean energy, and electing champions who know that American energy dominance means an all-of-the-above approach to energy that includes solar and other renewables," the group said. "Every politician in America should be on notice: Attack clean energy, and we'll end your career just like Chip Roy's."

Tom Matzzie — CEO of solar company CleanChoice Energy, executive chair of the PAC, and a donor to Democrat Mallory McMorrow's U.S. Senate campaign — told Politico, "The goal here is, at the end of this election year, members of Congress, senators, governors, others, remember that if you act viciously against the industry, that there could be a couple million dollars dropped into your next race, and that could threaten your political future."

The RAIR Foundation identified Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Ralph Norman (S.C.), and Nancy Mace (S.C.) as some of the "Green New Scam" industry's next targets.

While poised to hammer Republicans who are committed to derailing the renewable energy industry's taxpayer-funded gravy train, the PAC is also willing to spend a fortune backing defenders of wind and solar credits like Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R).
