Q: Why shouldn't Alaskans find it insulting that the administration is suggesting they can't read the word 'incumbent' on their ballot and know to vote for Sen. Sullivan? JD VANCE: People are busy. People have lives. People have jobs.

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...

Middle East dictators created a massive slush fund for Jared Kushner. trib.al/fXvwuJt

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

Kushner also failed to disclose himself as an agent of a foreign government, having been paid nearly $2 billion in total by foreign leaders. trib.al/NPqsq5A

If he offered anything in return for the money, even just conversations with his father-in-law, then he would have violated U.S. bribery laws and the foreign agent statute. trib.al/aYl2OWe

Trump’s attempt to overturn any results of the 2026 election he dislikes took a sharp turn toward authoritarianism when his DOJ asked a federal court to block certification of the Senate election in Alaska if the Republican incumbent narrowly loses. Here's what you should know.

Elon Musk is spending $445M+ to buy the midterms for one very simple reason. He's terrified that a Democratic Congress might finally hold him accountable.

The Wall Street Journal earlier this week reported that Musk in fact ordered internet speeds to slow down, and discussed the decision with Trump ahead of time. trib.al/XUsVHd8

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Remember this.

Trump’s DOJ is indicting and arresting his political enemies. His DHS raided the home of a sitting Congresswoman. His armed ICE thugs are going door to door harassing people under the pretext of finding non-citizen voting. If you saw this happening in another country, what would you call it?

The cover-up continues. First they lied about what we could see with our own eyes & called Alex Pretti & Renee Good ‘domestic terrorists.’ Now they’re back to hiding evidence from MN state investigators. MN investigators must be given access to ALL evidence. This impunity must end.

If you paid any federal income tax last year, then you paid more than these profitable corporations. When I say the system is broken, this is what I mean.

AOC: "As AI begins to encroach in our society, their goal is to take your cognition away from you. AI's goal is to take your thoughts away from you, your ability to think away from you, so that you become dependent on a machine ... reading books is active resistance"

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. 5 million people have lost food stamps — including 2 million children. And this is what he's thinking about?

Trump: "We have been pretty happy with Russia that they have not gotten involved in Iran ... Russia and China have not participated or, participated in a much smaller way than they could have." (Both Russia and China have actively helped Iran fight America.)

Cornyn on Starlink being throttled in Ukraine: "I don't believe that Elon Musk would do this without at least the acquiescence of the White House. I think it's frankly shameful. I think we should be supporting the victim, not the aggressor."

President Donald Trump warned he’d send “no money” to poisoned veterans if Republicans did not win the House and Senate in November, marking a new low for his shoddy midterms campaign. trib.al/WDmiag6

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says we need to “accept some bad things happening” in exchange for the benefits of AI. Hello? No we do not. In fact, we can rein in AI before it’s too late. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_sCRveGK50

Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction? OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?

In the past, the rich used to pay higher taxes. Now, the government pays the rich interest on a swelling debt, caused largely by lower taxes on the rich. It's a big switcheroo that we need to talk about if we're going to talk about the national debt.

Vladimir Putin is a war criminal. He's responsible for killing over 150,000 Ukrainians — including more than 15,000 civilians — and the murder of political opponents & dissidents.   Witkoff & Trump's bootlicking is an embarrassment to our country.

The Federal Communications Commission is ramping up Trump’s war on “fake polls” as it looks to be a bloodbath for Republicans this election. trib.al/fSsfZLu

No one elected Elon Musk to oversee foreign policy. Yet he was able to unilaterally slow down Starlink in Ukraine — because his enormous wealth gave him enormous power. Now he’s using that enormous wealth to buy another election and amass even more power. See the problem here?

The guy who tried and failed to catch Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed with a gotcha question about his supposed loyalty to the Muslim Brotherhood is reportedly the son of a Republican strategist who received $250,000 last month to campaign against El-Sayed.

Even if the federal government sticks to its claim that it will not station federal agents at polling places, it is taking actions with indistinguishable, potentially further-reaching effects—in an election in which millions of ballots are already being cast.

Disgraceful.

Donald Trump, who has become billions richer since winning the 2024 election, says he wants to crack down on government fraud. trib.al/ayscdmA

BREAKING WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade version of Starlink that Ukraine relied on.

Hegseth seems to be trying to turn the entire military into a volunteer regiment for his warrior cosplay, purging the professionals who might remind him that wars are won through judgment, discipline, and logistics rather than pull-ups and testosterone. trib.al/YHj4deX

If the president introduces you by your official title at a campaign rally, you're supposed to make clear you're not there on govt business Burgum & Lutnick didn't. FCC Chair Carr did, then talked FCC business Our complaint from @democracydefendersfund.org & RSFUSA in the morning report👇 -TN

Remember when everyone was supposed to get “DOGE dividends” and $2,000 tariff rebates? Now Elon Musk is promising to give every child a SpaceX share, while Trump is claiming he'll dole out $5,000 checks if Republicans win the midterms. Their desperation is showing. Don’t be fooled.

Government corruption is the top issue voters are concerned about ahead of the midterms, according to a recent Fox News poll. Meanwhile, Trump is constantly trading stocks of companies his administration is overseeing. This isn’t just corrupt — it’s dangerous. Here’s why.

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

I hope Michiganders elect Abdul El-Sayed to the Senate. He would be good for Michigan and good for the United States. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/senator-abdul-el-sayed

Google co-founder Sergey Brin, who's spent $100M+ against California's Prop 40, spent the weekend dining with Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. These billionaires keep accidentally proving why we need a billionaire wealth tax.

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

The Supreme Court has, over the course of decades, legalized behavior that is poisonous to a functioning democracy, Leo J. Wise, a former Justice Department prosecutor, argues:

CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss has been pushing reporters to use incendiary language and go on goose chases in attempt to attack Abdul El-Sayed and James Talarico. trib.al/PC6tD35

Trump wants to spend hundreds of thousands of your tax dollars on an ad campaign to attract more White South African "refugees."   This white nationalist immigration policy is a waste of taxpayer dollars & it makes a mockery of our laws & Lady Liberty's promise. It must end.

Our president, convicted of white-collar crimes, is making it easier to commit white-collar crimes.

A Republican political operative tried to trap the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, into a viral “gotcha” moment. He ended up becoming the story instead. trib.al/bc1WCIW

2/3rds of Americans say Trump is using the presidency to enrich himself--including 34% of Republicans! The numbers are clear: Trump’s corruption is making costs go up & it must stop I’ll discuss this and more on @ms.now at 2pm ET 👇- TN

Burgum doesn't answer a question on Fox about whether green fees for the DC public golf course will go up after Trump's redesign, and says the administration is "getting rid of hazardous trees"
