Republican congressional candidate and CAL DOGE Director Jenny Rae Le Roux says pushback on decades of Democratic control is fueling a political shift in deep-blue California, which was on display Tuesday with strong performances by gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton and LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt.

«Californians are tired of one-party rule,» Le Roux told Fox News Digital after her Tuesday night primary victory that sent her into a head-to-head match up with incumbent Democrat Dave Min in California’s 47th Congressional District.

«They know that the reason we’re suffering in this state and people are leaving California is because Democrats have been in charge for 60 years, and they’re up to no good.»

Le Roux argues that Min has not done enough to represent people across the district, saying her campaign has «already started doing the job that he’s not doing.»

«It’s just to do the thing that Dave Min is not doing, which is to represent the district,» she said. «We are out in every community. We have a precinct-by-precinct operation. Anyone who wants to meet with us, we will meet with them.»

Le Roux said residents unable to get answers from Min’s office on fraud, veterans’ concerns or housing issues are turning to Republicans like her for help.

«People are frustrated by his office,» she said. «They’re not responsive. They ask us for help with fraud issues, issues with HUD and veterans’ issues, and we’re making calls and getting things done for the people in the district.»

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesperson Anna Elsasser defended Min, saying his office has helped constituents recover over $5 million from federal agencies.

«Jenny Rae Le Roux’s lame attacks reflect both a lack of familiarity with Dave Min’s office, which has brought back over $5.7 million to constituents, and with the issues that Orange County families care about,» Elsasser said.

The Cook Political Report ranks the race between Min and Le Roux as «Solid D» as Republicans try to hold onto their razor-thin margin in the House.

Democrats’ decades-long control of California has come under scrutiny as the Trump administration investigates alleged fraud involving healthcare, homelessness spending and nonprofit groups, issues Le Roux says are driving residents out of the state and pushing voters toward Republicans.

Last month, federal officials suspended 800 California hospice and home health providers in a Medicare fraud crackdown tied to foreign-linked criminal networks accused of stealing more than $1 billion from taxpayers.

Le Roux said her team at CAL DOGE, a private-sector initiative founded by Hilton, is uncovering more fraud in the state and «taking down not just the systems, but actually each one of the criminals that are going to be indicted over the course of the next six months.»

«We’re finding the fraud that’s happening through Sacramento,» she said. «They’ve been completely silent about it. They haven’t fought it themselves because they’re in on it.»

Since launching in early 2026, CAL DOGE says it has uncovered nearly $700 million in misused taxpayer funds. Le Roux said she will continue working with Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton to root out fraud.

«We’ve got some fraud-fighting on our hands, and I’ll work with Steve up and down the state to make sure our money is being spent wisely before either one of us is in office,» Le Roux said.

Despite her criticism of Democrats, Le Roux said «it’s really important to keep relationships with people in other parties.»

Le Roux is the cousin of Virginia Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger, and she told Fox News Digital the two «faithfully messaged each other after campaigns» and despite having «completely different opinions,» we «really love each other.»

El fabricante TOMY International anunció el 4 de junio de 2026 el retiro del mercado de aproximadamente 40.000 unidades de los biberones reutilizables Boon NURSH de 8 onzas, vendidos exclusivamente en Walmart, tras reportarse 135 incidentes relacionados con un posible riesgo de asfixia para bebés. La decisión impacta a familias en Estados Unidos que compraron el producto en tiendas físicas y en la plataforma en línea de Walmart entre noviembre de 2025 y mayo de 2026, de acuerdo con información de la Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de Estados Unidos (CPSC).

Según la CPSC, el problema radica en la carcasa exterior plástica del biberón, que puede ampollarse o despegarse parcialmente, generando fragmentos plásticos que podrían ser ingeridos por niños pequeños, lo cual representa un peligro de asfixia. La alerta fue difundida por medios estadounidenses como Fox Business y confirmada por los canales oficiales de TOMY International, que detallan que no se han reportado lesiones hasta el momento y que los consumidores pueden solicitar un reemplazo o crédito en la tienda digital de la marca.

El retiro de los biberones Boon NURSH ocurre en un contexto de vigilancia reforzada sobre la seguridad de productos infantiles en el mercado estadounidense, después de varios incidentes recientes con artículos de puericultura y juguetes que debieron ser retirados por riesgos similares, de acuerdo con registros de la CPSC citados por LiveNow Fox.

El retiro se produce porque la carcasa plástica exterior de los biberones Boon NURSH de 8 oz puede ampollarse o despegarse, lo que da lugar a la formación de piezas de plástico delgadas que pueden desprenderse. Según la Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor, esto representa un riesgo de asfixia para bebés y niños pequeños, ya que podrían llevarse estos fragmentos a la boca. El informe oficial confirma que TOMY International recibió 135 reportes relacionados con este defecto, aunque hasta la fecha no se han registrado lesiones.

La CPSC publicó el aviso de retiro bajo el número 26-530 y recomendó de forma inmediata dejar de usar los productos afectados. “La seguridad es la prioridad principal”, señaló un portavoz de Walmart en declaraciones recogidas por Fox Business. El minorista activó el bloqueo de ventas del producto en sus sistemas tras recibir la notificación oficial.

El retiro afecta exclusivamente a los biberones reutilizables Boon NURSH de 8 oz en presentación de tres unidades, color “pink tie dye”, identificados bajo el número de artículo B11654 y el código UPC 669028116546. De acuerdo con la CPSC, estos biberones fueron fabricados en Vietnam y distribuidos únicamente a través de Walmart, tanto en tiendas físicas como en la plataforma digital Walmart.com, entre noviembre de 2025 y mayo de 2026, a un precio aproximado de 20 dólares estadounidenses.

El producto se reconoce por su carcasa plástica rígida que envuelve una bolsa interna de silicona. El logotipo “Boon” aparece en el costado de la carcasa y la referencia específica solo afecta a la variante “pink tie dye”, lo que permite a los consumidores identificar los lotes involucrados, según el reporte de la CPSC.

Quienes hayan adquirido estos biberones deben interrumpir su uso inmediatamente y contactar a TOMY International para solicitar un reembolso en forma de crédito de 22 dólares para compras en booninc.com o un reemplazo por un set de biberones en otro color. El canal de atención al consumidor de TOMY está disponible en el teléfono gratuito 866-725-4407, de lunes a viernes entre las 8 y las 16 horas (CT), así como por correo electrónico en cs@tomy.com y en la página oficial de retiros de la empresa: https://recall.tomy.com/nursh.

La CPSC enfatizó que la notificación y el retiro aplican solo para los productos indicados y que los consumidores no deben intentar reparar el biberón por sus propios medios. La autoridad mantiene activos sus canales de consulta para resolver dudas sobre el alcance del retiro.

El defecto fue reportado a través de 135 incidentes, según datos proporcionados por TOMY International a la CPSC. Los consumidores notificaron que la carcasa plástica exterior del biberón burbujeaba o se despegaba, lo que generaba fragmentos plásticos sueltos. Aunque no se registraron lesiones, la acumulación de reportes motivó la investigación y el retiro preventivo.

La CPSC recopila y analiza reportes de incidentes sobre productos de consumo que podrían poner en riesgo la seguridad pública. El caso de los biberones Boon NURSH se suma a una serie de alertas recientes sobre artículos infantiles, lo que evidencia el nivel de escrutinio sobre este tipo de productos.

Walmart implementó el retiro del producto de sus tiendas y bloqueó la venta en caja y en la plataforma en línea tras ser notificada por la CPSC. “Cuando recibimos notificaciones de retiro, procedemos a eliminar los productos de nuestras tiendas y bloquear su venta en caja y plataforma digital”, afirmó un vocero de Walmart citado por Fox Business.

Por su parte, TOMY International ofrece a los consumidores afectados la opción de un reemplazo gratuito o un crédito para futuras compras. La empresa colabora con la CPSC y mantiene canales abiertos para la atención de reclamos y consultas. El retiro es voluntario pero cumple con los estándares federales de seguridad de productos infantiles, según el comunicado oficial.

La Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor ha emitido en los últimos años múltiples alertas por riesgos asociados a productos infantiles. Solo en el último año fiscal, la CPSC ordenó más de 50 retiros de artículos para bebés y niños, incluyendo juguetes, productos de alimentación y mobiliario, en su mayoría por potenciales riesgos de asfixia, piezas pequeñas sueltas o presencia de sustancias peligrosas.

El caso de los biberones Boon NURSH se enmarca en una política de vigilancia reforzada sobre importaciones y productos comercializados en cadenas nacionales como Walmart, con el objetivo de prevenir incidentes y garantizar la seguridad de la población infantil, según el balance anual de la CPSC citado por LiveNow Fox.

Las familias pueden verificar si poseen productos comprometidos a través del sitio oficial de la CPSC ( o en la página de retiros de TOMY International ( Ambas plataformas ofrecen información actualizada sobre productos retirados, detalles de contacto y procedimientos para solicitar reemplazos o reembolsos.

La CPSC recomienda a los consumidores revisar regularmente estos canales para identificar alertas recientes y actuar de manera preventiva ante cualquier riesgo potencial.

El retiro de los biberones Boon NURSH afecta a miles de familias que adquirieron el producto en los últimos seis meses. Según datos de la CPSC, cerca de 40.000 unidades fueron distribuidas en todo Estados Unidos, lo que subraya el alcance del aviso y la importancia de la colaboración entre fabricantes, minoristas y autoridades regulatorias.

Para las familias, la recomendación principal es dejar de usar el producto y seguir el procedimiento oficial para recibir un reemplazo o reembolso. El caso refuerza la importancia de monitorear el estado de los productos infantiles y de consultar periódicamente los avisos de retiro publicados por organismos oficiales.

La Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor continuará supervisando la implementación del retiro y la atención a los consumidores. TOMY International y Walmart mantienen abiertos sus canales para consultas y gestión de reclamos. El sector infantil y las familias usuarias pueden consultar futuras actualizaciones en el sitio de la CPSC y en las plataformas oficiales de los fabricantes.

El retiro de los biberones Boon NURSH subraya la importancia de la vigilancia activa sobre productos infantiles y la respuesta coordinada de empresas y autoridades para garantizar la seguridad de los consumidores más jóvenes.

BAR HARBOR, Maine – Graham Platner’s past relationships were «toxic and volatile,» Rep. Ro Khanna of California says of the Senate Democratic candidate aiming to unseat longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins in one of this year’s most crucial ballot box showdowns.

But Khanna, a progressive leader from California who along with Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is backing Platner, argued in a Fox News Digital interview on Friday night that Platner is «taking accountability» for his past and «we need that redemption in this country.»

Platner, the military combat veteran and oyster farmer who is considered the Democrats’ presumptive nominee ahead of Tuesday’s primary in Maine, has been playing defense amid multiple controversies, ranging from inflammatory online comments made on Reddit, a well-publicized and now-covered up tattoo on his chest that resembled a Nazi symbol, to new allegations this week from ex-girlfriends of a history of rape fantasies, heavy drinking and violent episodes.

The candidate is arguably facing the roughest stretch to date of his campaign against Collins, in a race that is one of a handful across the country which will decide if the Republicans hold on to their slim Senate majority in this year’s midterm elections.

THE TEN RACES THAT WILL DETERMINE THE SENATE’S MAJORITY

Collins, returning to Maine on Friday after a busy week on Capitol Hill where she reached a milestone by casting her 10,000th consecutive vote in the Senate, was asked by reporters about the latest allegations facing Platner.

«The allegations in the latest story are troubling,» Collins responded. «And I believe that Graham Platner has a lot of questions to answer.»

Collins, a moderate Republican who at times votes against President Donald Trump’s agenda, is running for a sixth six-year term in the Senate in left-leaning Maine.

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

Speaking with Fox News Digital ahead of a rally with Platner, progressive gubernatorial candidate Troy Jackson and congressional contender Matt Dunlap, which was organized by Khanna, the congressman was asked if he was concerned the latest allegations could sink Platner’s campaign and hurt Democrats’ hopes of winning back the Senate.

«I’m more concerned about making it clear that we’re opposed to misogyny, those relationships were toxic and volatile, there’s no excuse for that,» Khanna said. «I talked to Graham and he says he was at a very dark period, he had come back from two tours of duty in Iraq as an infantry man seeing violence and death. That doesn’t excuse it.»

But Khanna added that Platner said «he really grew as a person when he came back to Maine and he was an oyster farmer and he found peace and he is ashamed of that period. To me that suggests someone taking accountability and improving their lives and we need that redemption in this country. And I agree with a lot of his economic policies, that we should be taxing the billionaires, we should be focusing on the working class.»

‘MAINE, YOU HAVE MY BACK’ – PLATNER BLASTS NEW ALLEGATIONS AS ‘FALSE ACCUSATIONS’ AS HE THANKS SUPPORTERS

After Christine Blasey Ford accused then-Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault in 2018, Khanna tweeted, «I stand with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Brett Kavanaugh is not fit to sit on the Supreme Court. #BelieveSurvivors.»

Back on home turf on Friday, the rally was held in this resort town next to Acadia National Park that is close to Platner’s hometown of Sullivan, Maine, the candidate thanked a large crowd of supporters for having his back and charged the incoming fire he’s facing is «politically motivated.»

«When hurtful things I said on the internet a decade ago came out into the public as I shared my personal journey through PTSD and darkness of recovery and accountability and growth. Maine had my back,» Platner said at a rally. «Now, as every single piece of that past and journey gets dug up, litigated, and weaponized, you have my back. And when politically motivated, serious and false, false accusations are made against me. Maine, you have my back.»

Platner, who has acknowledged his battle with post-traumatic stress disorder from his multiple tours of duty in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, apologized for his controversial Reddit posts after they made headlines last fall soon after he launched his Senate campaign.

And Platner has said he got the skull and crossbones tattoo in 2007 while drinking with fellow Marines stationed in Croatia. He said that he covered up the tattoo with a new design after learning last year that it resembled a Nazi symbol. But new allegations raise questions about Platner’s timeline regarding knowledge of the tattoo.

‘HE HATED WOMEN’: EXPLOSIVE ABUSE, NEW NAZI TATTOO ALLEGATIONS FROM EXES ROCK PLATNER’S CAMPAIGN

Platner is facing plenty of incoming political fire from Republican groups. A super PAC aligned with Collins has been blasting Platner, running ads spotlighting his multiple controversies.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), in a social media post following Friday night’s rally, took aim at Platner, charging he’s «a fraud»

«He’s preaching about living a small but decent life growing up in Maine. The truth? Graham Platner is an elitist whose parents sent him to boarding school in Connecticut and bought him a house,» the NRSC wrote.

And the Republican National Committee (RNC) also targeted Platner.

«Graham Platner says his violent and erratic past is being «weaponized» against him. Platner said he would rape someone to show his dominance and «rape was about power,» the RNC research team wrote on X, as it pointed to new allegations against the candidate.

Platner, as he runs for the Senate, is pushing an economically populist agenda as he takes aim at corporate influences and advocates for the working class.

«I agree with a lot of his economic policies, that we should be taxing the billionaires, we should be focusing on the working class,» Khanna told Fox News Digital.

Platner is considered the all-but-certain Democratic nominee after two-term Gov. Janet Mills, who was backed by longtime Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer and the Democratic Party establishment, dropped out of the race earlier this spring after significantly trailing Platner in fundraising and polling.

Mills, in a recent interview, noted that her name remains on the ballot. And a source in her wider political orbit confirmed to Fox News that the governor is receiving calls urging her to get back in the race amid Platner’s controversies. But there’s no active campaign effort on behalf of Mills.

Asked about Mills, Khanna told Fox News Digital: «the great thing about democracy, you can run full steam ahead, you can kind of run ambiguously like Janet Mills, you can keep your name on that campaign. That’s why I love American democracy.»

But he predicted that «Platner is going to come out victorious. And we need to unite and realize that the goal is defeating Susan Collins. And everyone from Schumer to Sanders is unified around that goal.

Platner’s campaign said that more than 600 people attended the rally. And they touted that they had raked in $200,000 in fundraising the past 24 hours, which they said was their strongest fundraising day since Mills suspended her campaign.

WATCH: Maine residents weigh in on Platner amid mounting controversies:

Maine voters that Fox News Digital spoke with ahead of the rally were divided on whether Platner’s controversies will impact their opinions of the candidate.

Jeff from Waterboro, Maine, said, «it’s not a good situation» as he pointed to Platner. «I think it’s somebody who shouldn’t’ be in the mix. I am a conservative but he’s just got so much damage, if the Democrats want to have a winner, they’re going to have to find somebody else. He’s not the guy. It’s just too much.»

Ellen from Acton, Maine, who said she is a registered Republican, said, «is he a perfect person? Heck no.»

But she added, «I think he will go in and do a good job.»
