Voter participation by noon today in Israel was already at its highest level since 1973. This election is on track to have the highest voter participation in Israel's history. Not a great sign for Netanyahu. People don't typically vote at record levels when they're happy with how things are going.

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over Californiaโ€™s objection โ€” all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

The rigged system in DC is allowing career politicians to become multimillionaires while Alaska families struggle to afford basic necessities. It's time for term limits. It's time to ban congressional stock trading.

The Ramaswamy campaign not only tried to capitalize on a child rape victim, they did it by using an old homeless woman whoโ€”while vileโ€”is in no mental shape to adequately understand the stakes. And did they pay her? Either answer is bad.

Back on 10/16, Comey filed a motion to dismiss, noting the statute of limitations requires an INDICTMENT within 10 years, not charges on information. Plus this issue was already investigated twice and it was determined that charges were unwarranted. 2/

Vivek can duck a reporter. Ducking Michael Pogue, his 8th grade teacher, takes real talent. Pogue drove to Cincinnati with a sign demanding a full retraction and apology for Dr. Acton, and Vivek left before they could talk. Somebody call the principal. TY to Matt Rein!

wow -- a squirming Mike Rogers gets flustered as Kristen Welker points out that while he attacks El-Sayed over the Muslim Brotherhood, *Rogers himself* defended the Muslim Brotherhood during the same period of time that El-Sayed did!
