Mike Rogers’ wife is handing out $10 gas cards in Michigan while asking people to vote for her husband. Republicans made gas unaffordable. Now they’re offering $10 to keep them in power. #BlueWaveIn20Days

The White House is coordinating with the Justice Department to hide its abortion agenda from voters until after they've voted in order to try to influence the results of the election.

DUN DUN DUN -- Fox Business on the September jobs report: "The numbers do not look good. I'm looking at 29,000 jobs added. That is well below expectations for 90,000, and our unemployment rate jumps up to 4.2%. A significant slowdown."

Jack Smith: "Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in serious crimes against our nation ... rather than accept his defeat in the 2020 election, he engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power"

It's vital for pro-democracy voices to emphasize that it's the entire Republican Party – not just Trump – that is screwing up our country. Tattoo Trumpism on every GOP candidate. Don't let them slither away.

This is so good to see: Even in red areas, strong disapproval of Trump is vastly outweighing strong approval of him. This is a key reason the midterm map is expanding into redder areas. The anti-Trump intensity gap is truly remarkable. I wrote about it here: newrepublic.com/article/2151...

Looks like the WH put out the bat signal in the influencer groupchat because hit dogs are hollerin'. Ossoff's "travel with Natalie" is causing a nuclear-level MAGA meltdown and a lot of inference is happening from just 3 words, so Trump's camp seems to be telling on him. Yikes.

This is an appalling departure from the post-Watergate mission of the Department of Justice. DOJ, as we once knew it, is no more. Blanche has turned it into Trump‘s private law firm. What a complete disgrace. 

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

WELKER: Can you pledge the DOJ will always act independently of the WH? BLANCHE: No, I'm not going to pledge that WELKER: So if the president asked you do to something that you feel crosses an ethical or legal line, would you do it? BLANCHE: He would never do that. He never has. He never will.

Trump is re-labeling whole swaths of the U.S. border “defense areas” so that the military can take over. When I was at DHS, our lawyers would’ve called this “stupid” and “illegal” and “dystopian.” Because it is.

Q: The family members of US service members are concerned about the conditions on the USS Lincoln TRUMP: No they're not Q: Has the deployment gone on too long? TRUMP: No no no. Not nearly long enough.

so Mark Walter, who was at the White House recently, is under investigation by the Trump administration and just so happened to abruptly sell one of America’s premier sports franchises to the brother of Trump’s son in law 🤔

So, Trump wants to make the MMR vaccine into three vaccines? Let’s see, three separate trips to the pediatrician, three copays, more missed work, and more missed appointments, leaving kids not fully protected from measles, mumps and rubella. None of it supported by scientific evidence.

Last night, the GOP members of the Senate approved Trump’s effort to destroy the rule of law in the US, wreck the Justice Dept., enable rampant corruption, defend pedophiles, and attack the president’s enemies. And they know they did those things. An egregious violation of their oaths of office.

During today’s Senate judiciary hearing, Sen. Grassley credited Todd Blanche with reducing violent crime rates. Crime rates started going down during the Biden administration after a spike in 2020 during the pandemic under Trump‘s watch.

FLAG: Trump gets to keep tax immunity for himself, his sons, and the Trump Organization under the new 'deal' struck by Todd Blanche. The new order also reaffirms that Trump won't have to pay any taxes he might have owed the IRS.

🚨BREAKING: In a win for voters, the First Circuit denied the DOJ’s request to allow USPS to move forward with enacting Trump’s anti-mail voting executive order. The ruling, which applies to 23 blue states and D.C., comes after a lower court blocked part of the order from being implemented.

The fact that VP JD Vance and Richard Grenell went to Romania—on behalf of the Trump Administration— to advocate for Andrew and Tristan Tate, who by all accounts, were rapists running a coercive sex ring, then permitted them to come to Florida, should be a crazy, crazy scandal.

Remember why they are in the US in the first place: the Trump administration lobbying on their behalf to free them from Romania.

Every Republican administration trashes the economy. Democrats then clean it up. Then MAGA blames the Dems But attacks on Biden fell flat after people saw what Trump’s war and tariffs have done And if it’s truly the economy, stupid We have a chance to finally flip this insipid narrative

"Blue-collar white voters are, for the first time, seriously doubting Mr. Trump’s handling of the economy," NYT reports, noting a large swing against him relative to previous cycles. As I reported this week:
