A Democratic Senate hopeful in Michigan reportedly deleted thousands of social media posts, including one disparaging the middle-American communities she is asking voters to elect her to represent.
Mallory McMorrow, who indicates in her 2025 autobiography that she «relocated permanently» from the Los Angeles-area to Michigan in 2014, shared in the deleted posts about dreaming that the elite coasts would annex themselves from middle America. In the now-archived posts, McMorrow also mused about how she wished she «never left California» and said there were days since moving to Michigan «that make me miss California even more.»
Meanwhile, McMorrow described herself in 2016, after she claimed to have relocated to Michigan, as a constituent of Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu, repeatedly referenced voting in California’s June 2016 Democratic Primary and urged other voters to do the same. McMorrow referenced voting in person in November 2014 in the Los Angeles area as well, even though in 2024 she chided someone on social media who said they voted in a state they no longer lived in.
In total, McMorrow deleted roughly 6,000 social media posts, according to CNN’s K-File investigative unit, which reported that the posts appeared to have been deleted in 2025 following New York Post reporting on several of McMorrow’s social media comments, including the one about dreaming that fly-over country would annex itself from the coasts.

In addition to appearing to bash the part of the country she seeks to represent, McMorrow’s deleted tweets covered a variety of other topics, including Trump, whose governing style she compared to Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, according to a review of the now-archived posts.
A spokesperson for McMorrow’s campaign, Hannah Lindow, suggested the social media posts exposed in K-File’s Wednesday report were light-hearted and often jokes. One post included McMorrow complaining about the cold Michigan weather, while another quipped that she was «pushing for a future without cars» in response to a thread about Uber drivers.
«These are normal tweets by a normal person,» Lindow told Fox News Digital. «Normal people complain about the weather. The Michigan sky does in fact sometimes ‘s— ice.’ She stands by that.»
Meanwhile, Lindow pointed to a Democratic strategist who argued «every adult decision Mallory has made» says that she loves Michigan.

«As Michigan’s Senate Majority Whip, Mallory has spent the past eight years fighting and delivering to make people’s lives better: higher wages, universal pre-K, no kid going hungry in schools, comprehensive gun violence prevention laws, and more,» Lindow said. «And she’s tweeted about that too.»

The CNN reporting ignited backlash against McMorrow from conservatives online and Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., who is also running for the Michigan Senate seat. In response to McMorrow’s now-deleted social media posts, she posted a long X thread explaining why she is proud to be a native Michigander, taking a few thinly-veiled shots at McMorrow.
«I’m a born and raised Michigander and damn proud of it. I love everything that makes us Michiganders, from our manufacturing heritage to our lakes and yep, even our accent. That’s why I have pretty thick skin about people making fun of the way I talk or the clothes I wear—because this campaign isn’t about me,» Stevens said.
«It’s about the amazing people who live in this state. About them having a real champion in the Senate. So what actually ticks me off,» she continued. «Someone who wants that job— representing Michiganders—talking crap about us and our state.»
In a social media post appearing to reference the deleted social media posts, McMorrow’s Democratic primary candidate for U.S. Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, posted a photo of himself pointing to someone off-screen and laughing. The post also included the following caption: «Born in Michigan, hallelujah. Raised in Michigan, hallelujah. Believe cars should exist, hallelujah.»
«The death of a campaign, brought to you by, the campaign,» Chris Gustafson, the Senate Leadership Fund and One Nation spokesperson, posted on X.
«How can McMorrow represent the people that she hates?» the research arm of the Republican National Committee posted on X.
«One of my greatest fears for my home state is the Travese-City-ification of the great Up North,» Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at the Capital Research Center, posted on X. «Costal libs like Buttigieg and McMorrow have realized how beautiful it is here, and they’ve decided they can tolerate out «backwards» midwestern ways if they balkanize the state.»
«As I’ve told you the ‘elites’ hate your guts if you are culturally in the space between West of the George Washington Bridge and East of the Golden Gate Bridge,» Conservative radio host Andrew Wilkow posted on X
Fox News Digital clarified that McMorrow and her husband made the decision to move from California to Michigan in 2014, but did not vacate their California apartment until 2016. Public records also show McMorrow registered to vote in Michigan in August 2016. In California, the law prohibits non-residents from voting in its elections.
«I had a dream that the U.S. amicably broke off into The Ring (coasts + Can + Mex + parts Mich/Tex) and Middle America,» one of her now-deleted posts from December 2016 stated, according to archived versions reviewed by Fox News Digital. «Oh and The Ring nominated Obama as Prime Minister and everyone was given $1,000 and six months to pick a side.»
REPUBLICANS TARGET 2 KEY DEMOCRATIC RACES WITH MAMDANI CONNECTION STRATEGY
In another Jan. 2017 post, after she was already permanently living in Michigan, McMorrow responded to a social media user that there are days she has in her new home «that make me miss California even more,» according to an archived version reviewed by Fox News Digital.
«California should have its own diplomats» to «make sure we don’t get nuked because of morons from the other side of the country,» the user said, before McMorrow responded: «There are days like these that make me miss California even more.»
In another one of the now-deleted tweets, from November 2016, McMorrow wrote: «I wish I never left California,» in response to another user’s comments about diversity in Detroit.

McMorrow, besides appearing to bash the part of the country she seeks to represent, also deleted other tweets on a variety of topics that could potentially pose a liability for her candidacy.
For example, some of the deleted posts from McMorrow included comparisons between the United States under Donald Trump’s leadership and Nazi Germany.
«Dr. Seuss, 1941. We’ve been here before, America. #AmericaFirst #NoMuslimBan,» McMorrow posted shortly after Trump began his first term in 2017, alongside a Dr. Seuss cartoon referring to Nazi Germany. In a separate post a few months later, McMorrow responded to someone lamenting they had no faith that the minds of Trump supporters could be changed.

«Agreed. But how do we fight back? Hitler had supporters. Stalin had supporters. Putin has supporters. No one will change their minds,» McMorrow replied, according to archived versions of the post.
In an Oct. 2020 post, McMorrow also pleaded with her followers to watch a video «that a dear friend created,» which featured a Holocaust survivor drawing parallels between Nazi Germany and Trump’s «authoritarian aspirations.»
The posts from McMorrow, exposed by K-File and the New York Post, stand in stark contrast to remarks on her campaign’s website that indicate «choosing to put roots down» in Michigan «is the best decision I’ve ever made.»

Hamas taps ‘ultimate institutional survivor’ as terror chief, sending message to Israel: expert
Gazans react to the killings of Hamas terror leaders
Ex-political prisoner and activists says people are frustrated with Hamas leadership after Israel’s killing of senior commanders, as many residents say civilians — not Hamas leaders — have paid the price of the war (Credit: Jusoor News)
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An old hand very familiar to Israel has emerged as the new political leader of Hamas following a secret insider election that took months to unfold, and one regional expert said the development signals the terrorist group will not be charting a new course.
Khalil al-Hayya, who has been a key negotiator for Hamas and who has survived multiple alleged assassination attempts, will now lead the group’s political bureau. But Middle East Institute Senior Fellow Jaser AbuMousa told Fox News Digital his election is not exactly a passing of the torch.
«Expect more of the same, deliberately,» AbuMousa said. «Al-Hayya is Hamas’s chief negotiator and its ultimate institutional survivor, so you’ll see continued engagement at the negotiating table, ceasefire talks, prisoner exchanges, but do not mistake that for moderation.»

«Al-Hayya’s victory is best understood as an act of institutional self-preservation: a battered organization reaching for the most familiar hand available,» AbuMousa warned. «He is an experienced operator, and his elevation signals that Hamas, after the destruction of Gaza and the losses since Oct. 7, 2023, has prioritized organizational cohesion, armed continuity, and the preservation of its Iranian relationship over a genuine political reassessment.»
Several members of al-Hayya’s family, including four sons and other relatives, have also been killed in Israeli operations, according to reports.
In September 2025, Israel reportedly sought to kill al-Hayya in Qatar, striking a building where the Hamas delegation was staying.
«This is the paradox of Hamas leadership right now: the top job is essentially a death sentence, which is part of why the chair sat empty for nearly two years after Sinwar was killed,» the expert said.

«Al-Hayya himself also survived the Israeli strike in Doha last September. For an ordinary executive, that would be disqualifying,» he noted. «Inside Hamas it’s the opposite — surviving assassination is a credential.»
«Expect him to lead the way his predecessors did: rarely in public, moving between Doha and mediating capitals, communicating through statements and negotiators rather than appearances, with the real command decentralized so no single strike decapitates the movement,» AbuMousa continued. «An organization that rewards who has suffered most, rather than who has led best, has no real mechanism to correct course after a catastrophe like this one. That’s what should make anyone nervous.»
«Al-Hayya lost his four sons, which is a real and profound loss for any father. But two things can be true at once,» he noted. «His personal grief is genuine, and inside Hamas that sacrifice also functions as political capital that lifts him above criticism.»

While Al-Hayya replaced Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by Israeli forces in October 2024, his rise to power followed a secret election that stretched over months.
«After the near-total destruction of Gaza and staggering losses since Oct. 7, Hamas had a moment to reassess, and it chose continuity instead,» AbuMousa said. «It elevated a loyal survivor tied to Iran and the military wing rather than someone offering a different path.»
«The real story,» according to AbuMousa, «is that Hamas decided its safest bet was to remain exactly what it was: armed, aligned with Tehran, and unwilling to reckon with where its own decisions led Gaza.»
He also cautioned against viewing the leadership vote as a mandate from Gazans.

«This was a closed vote by a leadership council, not an election by the roughly 2 million Gazans whose lives Hamas claims to represent and who haven’t voted since 2006. Many of them blame Hamas for exposing them to this catastrophe,» he said.
«And watch the likely governance model: not a return to running Gaza openly, but a Hezbollah-style arrangement where Hamas sheds visible responsibility while keeping its weapons, its security structures, and a veto over any political deal,» he added.

Inside Fauci’s private diary: What he wrote about Trump, TV personalities and celebrities
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Newly released diary entries by Dr. Anthony Fauci offer an unfiltered look at what the nation’s top infectious disease expert really thought of the politicians, television personalities and celebrities who filled his orbit during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Released by Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rand Paul, R-Ky., the diaries chronicle Fauci’s day-to-day role during the COVID-19 pandemic through meetings, phone calls and personal observations. The release comes days before Fauci is scheduled to testify before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee after being subpoenaed by Paul.
The entries feature everyone from President Donald Trump to Julia Roberts, Steph Curry, Larry Ellison and Hunter Biden, offering an unusually personal look at the people who crossed Fauci’s path during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Early entries portray a warm working relationship between Fauci and Trump. Fauci wrote that Trump repeatedly directed questions to him during White House meetings, called him «the smartest person in the world,» told him, «We are counting on you,» and later appeared «enamored» with him as Fauci’s national profile grew.
FAUCI’S NEWLY RELEASED COVID DIARIES REVEAL BIZARRE FIXATION ON FAME AS PANDEMIC DEATHS MOUNTED

Fauci’s relationship with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows deteriorated throughout the pandemic. Fauci wrote that Meadows threatened to keep him off television, repeatedly pushed him to soften his public messaging and, in one entry, recounted Meadows «screaming» over his public comments.
Fauci, however, repeatedly described then-White House communications director Alyssa Farah as an ally during internal battles over media appearances. In one May 2020 entry, he wrote that Farah admitted White House staff had been «holding me back,» said the situation had «gotten out of hand» and promised to begin clearing his television requests again.
Not everyone in the administration’s communications operation earned Fauci’s praise. In a July 2, 2020 entry, Fauci called then-HHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Michael Caputo «a con man who is completely full of sh–,» writing that Caputo publicly claimed to support his television appearances while privately blocking them.
Television journalists also became recurring figures in Fauci’s diary. CNN anchor Jake Tapper appears repeatedly, with Fauci documenting phone calls, text exchanges and dinners at the Tappers’ Washington home.

Fauci wrote that Tapper privately checked to make sure a CNN interview hadn’t caused problems with the White House. When The Atlantic’s Peter Nicholas suggested Fauci had been «humiliated» over a canceled Tapper interview, Fauci fired back in his diary: «F— you, Peter.»
After Fauci’s heated exchange with Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan, Fauci wrote that CNN’s Dana Bash texted him, telling him he was «a better man» and relaying that fellow CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer had joked no one would have blamed Fauci if he had told Jordan to «go f— yourself.»
The following day, Fauci wrote that Bash texted him again, this time pointing him to a Vanity Fair headline mocking Jordan’s performance at the hearing.
The diary also features colorful asides about billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, whom Fauci described as «a bit of a loose cannon» while discussing White House efforts to use Oracle technology during the pandemic.

Beyond politicians and White House aides, Fauci’s diary reads at times like a Hollywood guest list. Actress Julia Roberts hosted Fauci on Instagram Live, sent him flowers and later presented him with an award, while Vogue editor Anna Wintour, comedian Trevor Noah, NBA star Steph Curry, actors Sean Penn and Matt Damon, and rapper Lil Wayne also make appearances as Fauci documented his growing celebrity during the pandemic.
The diary closes with another unexpected cameo. At the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors, Fauci wrote that he hugged Hunter Biden, who joked the internet «would explode» if someone photographed them together because they were both «being attacked by the far right GOP.»
