Trump claims that thanks to Republicans, Mississippi's schools are "among the best ranked in the nation"

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.
Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"
Even if the person reporting is a Democrat and the fraudster is a Republican? bsky.app/profile/adam...
Trump: "I'm also going to be issuing a $1 million bonus or reward or whatever you want to call it for anybody that reports voter fraud, leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody. We're giving that person $1 million."

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

NEW: A federal judge has now ruled that former SDNY prosecutor, Maurene Comey, was UNLAWFULLY fired by the Trump DOJ. He orders her retroactive reinstatement and back pay. Comey alleged in her lawsuit that she was fired for politically motivated reasons. www.cnbc.com/2026/10/26/m...

This report is really good and should be widely read. Among other things, it makes the point that by shielding Trump, DOJ is also allowing many other perpetrators to get away.

@heinrich.senate.gov, have you had a chat with that guy with whom you said you felt you could negotiate? If you haven’t yet … you might want to bring up this story and ask the very question Don Moynihan raises here: Are we now living in a police state?!?
I don't know that there is a definitive line to cross that makes you say, "I live in a police state now" but when masked gunmen can routinely brutalize the public, citizen or immigrant alike, with impunity, you have reached that point.

This drives me CRAZY. I grew up playing sports w/ boys. I played on a U12 boys select soccer team, b4 switching to a U12 girls team that kept beating us. Nobody had any issue with any of it. Youth sports have never had the strict sex/gender boundaries that “XX-XY” activists are now trying to defend.
I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

He says, “Look …” as if he wants us to use our own eyes. Then he tells us what we are supposed to see. I’m thinking that every time Mikey starts a sentence with “Look …” he is going to be selling us a lie.
Q: Why do you think Americans tell us over & over they don't like the direction of the country? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, it's a hostile media environment. Most of the mainstream media of course is advancing the false narrative of the other side -- the Democrats & the Marxists. They're on the other team
Read this thread. It is a clear cut example of the collateral community damage caused by 287(g) agreements and Trump’s (read: Miller’s, Homan’s, and Mullin’s) deportation agenda
Early this year, I visited Ingram, a TX town of ~1,900, to check out a tip. The area was starting to recover from its worst flood in a century. But as Latino workers drove to jobsites to help rebuild, the tipster said, a cop in a black Dodge Charger kept stopping them ... 🧵

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

Many of you are asking how you can help me in these final days before the election. My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld
Thank you, @fernandez.house.gov!! Your work for all citizens, not just your New Mexico constituents, is deeply appreciated.
Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández credited our reporting as the catalyst for the Justice for Citizens Wrongfully Detained by ICE Act. We revealed that 500+ U.S. citizens have been detained in warrantless arrests since Trump returned to office.
Now … WHY on earth would they be “weighing preemptive mass pardons for junior staff”? Are they worried some of the ‘little piggies’ might squeal when squeezed?
