These numbers are telling. CBS News projects Democrats at 229 House seats to Republicans’ 206. Look at what voters are saying: • 65% say the economy is bad. • 57% say Trump’s policies have hurt them financially. • DON’T MISS THIS: 83% say government corruption is a major factor in their vote.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself.

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

This is what putting South Carolina first looks like. I’m honored to have the support of two former governors — Republican David Beasley and Democrat Jim Hodges. We may not agree on everything, but we share a belief that matters most: S.C. deserves leaders who will always put its people first.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “The GOP shouldn't be counting on a poll miss to win the Senate (though it's possible!). Democrats have actually been slightly more likely to outperform the polls in close Senate races since 1998. Same in 2018 (Trump's first midterm) and Dems outperformed in all 2022 close races.”

🚨THE GOP’S SENATE MAJORITY IS IN SERIOUS DANGER. Nate Silver now gives Democrats roughly a 75% chance of taking the Senate. 🔵 NC: Cooper +10 🔵 GA: Ossoff +8 🔵 TX: Talarico +2 🔵 MI: El-Sayed +2 🔵 IA: Turek +2 🔵 AK: Peltola +1.6 Election Night could turn into a Senate wipeout for Republicans. #VOTE

An attack on Voronezh, Russia. The following facilities were reportedly struck: • Voronezh Aircraft Plant (VASO) - a key facility in Russia's aviation industry, specializing in the assembly of long-haul Il-96 airliners and the production of components for other aircraft.

🚨IT’S THE EPSTEIN ELECTION. Democrats are pouring tens of millions into ads tying Republicans to the Epstein scandal—including over $20M in key Senate races across Alaska, Maine, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas and Georgia. Total Dem ad spending: $36 MILLION. The strategy: make Epstein a symbol of corruption.

🚨 THE HOUSE MAP IS BLOWING WIDE OPEN. House Majority PAC is now pouring money into districts Trump won by DOUBLE DIGITS: 🔵 $2.2M against GOP Rep. Brad Finstad in a Trump +12 seat 🔵 $380K against GOP Rep. Victoria Spartz in a Trump +17 seat It’s striking how strongly Democrats are playing offense.

Dan Sullivan is trying to sell Alaska to the highest bidder. He wants to bring in data centers that will drive up energy prices while his family business profits. Alaskans already can’t afford to heat their homes this winter. We can’t afford more of his self-serving agenda.

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

🚨BREAKING: Brazil's President Lula, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, was reelected Sunday in a result that provides relief to critics of Trump and keeps some distance between Latin America's biggest economy and Washington.

this is total gobbledygook? the process to decide who should be certified as the winner is the election, and there is no federal law that says the courts get to decide who that is.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Blanche on CBS says his suit against Alaska is "asking the court to step in where the Alaska Supreme Court didn't, which is to look at federal law and if necessary to allow a process for Alaska to decide who should be certified as the winner." (So, the voters won't get to decide. Got it.)

🚨 TRUMP’S POLL NUMBERS ARE IN FREE FALL. He’s now polling at just 37–39% approval nationally, while roughly 60% of Americans disapprove. Nate Silver’s average has Trump at a brutal NET –24.3 — his worst rating of this presidency. This isn’t a dip. It’s a political collapse.

Why are major Democrats and Republicans flocking to Mississippi? In a climate where polls show Trump's approval ratings cratering, Democrats are unusually optimistic about Scott Colom's chances of flipping the Senate seat held by incumbent Republican Cindy Hyde-Smith — even in deep-red Mississippi.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

A trust owned by Texas AG Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, invested in a company led by a convicted fraudster. The firm and its affiliates later sent the trust 15 payments totaling $83K before and during the AG’s impeachment trial. w/ @texastribune.org

Three years ago, 18 of our neighbors were murdered in Lewiston. I had grown up with guns and at the time, I opposed some gun laws. That day, I learned those 18 people deserve more than our grief.

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

Data centers have become a major risk for the politicians who support them, with less than two weeks left before the midterms. Half of Americans now oppose data centers being built within three miles of their home — nearly double the share of people who said the same back in January (28%).

politico.comPoll: Data center backlash builds as midterms nearA new POLITICO Poll shows Americans are increasingly against building data centers near their homes and favor candidates who oppose them more than ones who support them.
