BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Trump-Putin scandal in Alaska. "Joel Riddle, chief executive of the company, Polar LNG, until he resigned in September, said he had been misled...The true source of at least some of Polar LNG’s money was Novatek, a Russian energy giant under partial U.S. sanctions." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

I know that everyone is focused on Trump's attacks in California and Alaska. My team is fighting in court in both places. But understand the fight for free and fair elections is much broader. Elias Law Group is currently litigating 92 voting and election cases in 42 states plus DC.

About 1 in 5 registered voters who cast ballots for President Trump in 2024, 22 percent, now disapprove of the job he’s doing. They’re not natural Democratic voters, but this year, many of them say they will cast a vote for the opposing party.

washingtonpost.comThese Trump voters changed their minds — and are key to the midtermsAbout a fifth of those who voted for Trump in 2024 now disapprove of his performance. How they vote -- or whether they stay home -- will strongly shape the scale of Republican losses this year.

Another example: A 24 year old medical student was quoted in an article about taking out a loan that complied with Islamic law. Now, as a candidate 17 years later, that quote is being used in an ad that claims that El-Sayed wants to impose sharia law on America. bsky.app/profile/citi...

Trump Accounts would allow corporations or their owners to make donations by zip code. So, for example, a company trying to set up a data center could give money to families in that region. This is the logic of the bribe state which Trump has enabled and supports. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "As far as data centers, we don't want to get controversial. The community that they're been built -- they're great, they give you a lot of money -- ask for a lot of money. Tell them to pay you $10,000, $15,000, $20k for everybody who lives in the community. They'll do it! You just gotta ask"

Obviously if you're Khalil you've got to exhaust your legal remedies, but I can't imagine a worse recipe for extremely bad precedent than *this court* taking up his case.

New: Mahmoud Khalil is asking the Supreme Court to review his case. He's challenging a court ruling that essentially deprived immigrants like him of the right to habeas corpus, forcing them to possibly remain in detention for years — even if the point of their detention was to punish their speech.

🚨 Sen. Angus King to Jason Kander on Trump's Russian diesel deal: “This is Trump's Munich.” He says the deal won't meaningfully lower diesel prices, amounts to just 3.5 HOURS of global consumption, and benefits Putin. “It's literally a drop in the bucket.” “The whole thing stinks.”

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
