Erie County Celebrates Restoration of Historic Schenck House

A MAGA influencer has blended politics with OnlyFans, using the adult platform to court right-wing male followers in a striking new way, according to a report Thursday.

Will Sommer, senior reporter at The Bulwark, detailed how Savanna Cannon has emerged as a new MAGA personality, sharing her views on TikTok and Instagram. She's referred to people who disagree with her as "braindead" and wears a Charlie Kirk "Freedom" shirt. In her videos, she "looks and sounds like she came straight out of the Turning Point USA or PragerU conservative influencer pipelines."

"But Cannon has one big advantage over her rival conservative commentators: she sits in an unusual way," Sommer explained.

"Cannon typically records her videos leaning back in a chair while wearing yoga pants, with her legs pulled up on either side of her," Sommer wrote.

"It’s a pose that highlights everything a more prurient viewer might hope to see: her bare feet and—forgive me, I am only reporting the facts here—the faint outline of her genitals," Sommer wrote, including the addendum, "Her buttcrack, too."

Cannon started on OnlyFans, making content of herself working out at the gym. But now she has shifted to a particular goal.

"Cannon isn’t subtle about it," Sommer wrote. "Scroll through her Instagram page and a good 80 percent of the posts are her sitting in that pose, wearing yoga pants, often pulling them up to make them fit tighter. 'My videos are for straight men,' she explained."

It's a strategic move — leveraging her audience on OnlyFans by talking politics and drawing on a male audience.

"It was a smart call," Sommer wrote. "Pro-Trump social media is a rich field for finding new, smitten subscribers—or, in the language of the industry, 'simps'—who could end up following you on OnlyFans, too."

As her following has grown, she's built an audience using the "symbiotic relationship" between right-wing influencers and subscribers.

"If anything, Cannon stands out because she merges the two roles," Sommer added. "Rather than being an OnlyFans model subject to the whims of a dating podcast host or a feud with a far-right pundit, she is creating the MAGA content on her own. Perhaps it was only a matter of time before some enterprising ingénue tapped this particular market."

President Donald Trump conceded Thursday he may pull his own attorney general nominee rather than give two outgoing Republican senators what they are demanding.

Trump made the admission on Truth Social after the Senate Judiciary Committee postponed a vote on acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's nomination Wednesday night. The vote was canceled when it became clear two Republicans would block it.

Those two senators — Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) — are leaving Congress at the end of the year.

"Todd Blanche is a STAR, and everyone knows it!" Trump wrote on Truth Social. "He has the potential to go down as one of the Greatest Attorney Generals of All Time."

"I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd's name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office," Trump wrote.

Trump also attacked both senators directly, calling them men "whose political careers have been ended by my action" — a reference to his decision not to endorse them. He added that "both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland," invoking former Attorney General Merrick Garland, a name Republicans cite as a symbol of Democratic overreach.

On Capitol Hill Thursday morning, Cornyn told reporters the situation had taken a turn for the worse. Asked whether Blanche could be confirmed before the August recess, he said the odds were against it.

"It's looking doubtful," Cornyn told reporters, according to NBC News congressional reporter Laura Weiss.

Cornyn said talks with Blanche had been "very constructive" and that he believed a deal was close Tuesday night. But by Thursday morning, something had shifted.

"Other people intervening," he said. He told NBC News congressional correspondent Julie Tsirkin he did not know whether the president himself was standing in the way.

At the heart of the standoff is a settlement Trump's Department of Justice reached with the Internal Revenue Service. The deal granted Trump and his family immunity from tax audits and created a nearly $1.8 billion fund to compensate people who said they had been targeted by the government for political reasons.

The fund was later abandoned, but Cornyn wants that abandonment in writing — and wants the audit immunity narrowed so it does not cover future tax filings, according to MS NOW.

"All I want them to do is to confirm what he said in his sworn testimony before the Judiciary Committee, with regard not only to the weaponization fund, but also who is protected from future audits and what agencies of the federal government are bound by the release," Cornyn told reporters, according to CBS News.

The Department of Justice, Cornyn said, had not delivered. "They've simply refused to cooperate," he said, according to The Hill.

As of Thursday morning, Cornyn said he was waiting on a DOJ response to his latest offer and had no meetings or calls scheduled with the White House or the Department of Justice.
