Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
LA Mayor Karen Bass is bragging that every $5 donated to her reelection campaign gets turned into $35 — courtesy of Los Angeles taxpayers, through a city program that matches donations 6-to-1... all through ActBlue. Meanwhile, the UK Home Office is handing migrants a literal instruction pamphlet explaining that child abuse and assault are illegal in Britain — yes, that's a real government document in 2026. And in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed is facing brutal new scrutiny after comparing himself to Jesus, just as new reporting reveals his mother worked for a U.S.-designated terror-financing organization.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- LA Mayor Karen Bass touts the city's 6-to-1 taxpayer-funded campaign donation match, turning a $5 gift into $35 in her own reelection war chest — legal under LA's ethics rules, but drawing outrage as the city struggles to fund basic services
- The UK Home Office distributes guidance to asylum seekers explicitly explaining that child abuse and sexual assault are against the law in Britain, "even if they look older" — a jaw-dropping admission of what officials feel they need to spell out
- Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed compares himself to a "radical" Jesus while facing fresh scrutiny after reports surfaced that his mother worked for years at a organization the U.S. Treasury designated as a global terror-financing group
- Newly nominated Democratic socialist Angie Nixon pulls off a stunning upset in Florida's Senate primary, becoming the first DSA member ever to win a statewide major-party nomination — we break down her most eyebrow-raising positions
