🔥 “27 years in office and Marsha Blackburn still has a price” Independent (conservative) candidate for Governor David Hatley rips @MarshaBlackburn for getting a $50,000 donation from Kalshi right after they lost in court to Tennessee Governor for sale! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Off the charts Trump family corruption. Kushner got Billions of foreign funds, while spearheading foreign policy. And the Hunter Biden hunters are silent. @MarshaBlackburn

"Flávio has given up." A Bolsonaro family adviser tells The Washington Post he’s terrified his father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, will DIE IN JAIL, and that he could be jailed himself THIS WEEK. Flávio effectively conceded defeat after Trump stopped short of intervening, per WaPo

wapo.stBolsonaro effectively concedes in Brazil after Trump suggests he won’t helpTrump says the presidential election looked “rigged” but did not say he planned to intervene on behalf of the right-wing politician.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Everyone keeps asking me how I’m feeling about early voting so far. I’m feeling like nobody *actually* knows anything, and this is the most important midterm of our lives. I’d rather be us than them, but we can’t get comfortable. We can’t get complacent. Go vote like we’re down 3%.

I guess he doesn’t disagree about the Saddam Hussein part?

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad targeting Amy Acton’s childhood sexual abuse backfired. It prompted Ohio’s largest newspaper, The Plain Dealer, to reverse its policy on political endorsements and endorse Acton for governor.

Trump on DC: "Nobody wanted to eat out. They were afraid. Even if you were in the restaurant, people would walk in and like the Wild West, 'Hold it up!' Everybody is standing there. Can you imagine? A fancy restaurant. They were robbing the whole restaurant. It's crazy."

So basically someone told Trump today what Cheesecake Factory was, and it probably took a little while to explain to him that they aren’t local factories that make cheesecakes. But he probably still isn’t quite sure what they are.

No. The charges are already time barred. Under the relevant statute of limitations, an indictment must be filed within 10 years of the offense, which allegedly occurred on October 5, 2016. This DOJ is out of control.

Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com

I believe that DOJ has 30 days to get a grand jury indictment after charging on information unless Comey waived his right to a grand jury indictment, which I kind of doubt. That 30 days would expire 11/4. Is that correct @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @barbmcquade.bsky.social @rparloff.bsky.social ?
