MAGA Podcasters Abandon Trump as Mentions Plunge 70% Ahead of Midterms

Mentions of the president have dropped 70% since the 2024 election peak, with right-wing shows shifting focus to midterm races and other topics. Charlie Sykes described this shift as exhaustion with the 'Trump show,' while HuffPost noted the decline correlates with the Iran war and economic fallout.

Belichick Dismisses 'Ridiculous' Claims That Girlfriend Jordon Hudson Runs UNC Football

Bill Belichick has publicly rejected rumors that his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, holds an unofficial role or influence within the University of North Carolina (UNC) football program. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, the 74-year-old coach called the narrative that Hudson is acting as a 'general manager' a 'flat-out lie.' He explained that he initially asked Hudson to coordinate his personal appearances and media requests during a busy period, but this was misinterpreted as her involvement in university affairs. The controversy arises amid a turbulent start for Belichick at UNC, which includes the recent resignation of his son, Steve Belichick, and former general manager Michael Lombardi.

Belichick Dismisses 'Ridiculous' Claims That Hudson Runs UNC Football

Bill Belichick has publicly refuted rumors that his girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, holds a management role at the University of North Carolina. Speaking to the Wall Street Journal, the 74-year-old coach called claims that Hudson acts as the 'general manager' of the Tar Heels 'ridiculous.' He clarified that while Hudson was copied on emails regarding his personal appearances, this was due to his heavy workload in December 2025, not an attempt to control the football program. Hudson, 25, has largely avoided the public eye since April 2025 but recently returned to the sidelines for UNC’s victory over East Tennessee State. The coach emphasized that Hudson’s involvement is limited to scheduling and non-university matters, while a university spokesperson confirmed she has no official responsibilities with the team.
