The Hill, "Department of Justice (DOJ) would intervene in states' midterm elections verification processes, telling reporters Thursday there are hypothetical "scenarios" in which it could block the certification of votes."

"Former Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) suggested this week that Maine Sen. Susan Collins (R) should leave the Republican Party to become an independent." Why? Does he think she can fool voters and then vote everytime with Republicans? Does he think people in Maine are stupid.

Musk has given so much money to Paxton that he is now tied with Talarico. This is unfair. Paxton has been proven to be a grifter and convicted felon.

“He [Trump] has constantly been distracted,” said one GOP operative working on multiple midterm races, “and not focused on what the voters care about. It’s insane.” He only cares about enriching himself and his family. What made you think he cared about Republicans?

President Trump is breaking a more than two-decade-long tradition of welcoming a key group of international election observers to monitor the midterm contest, drawing criticism for discouraging democratic transparency. How can he make that decision? He doesnt run the elections. Where's congress?!

From the Hill. "Federal agents searched the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) on Monday morning as part of an ongoing." Sounds like harassment and intimidation.

(TSA) recently confirmed that the agency will no longer allow officers at its document-checking station to be seated while performing their duties, allegedly for security and “hospitality” reasons. This is not based on any surveys or research. The Union is against it. TSA'a way of firing workers?

Marco Rubio announced Friday that the U.S. is imposing full blocking sanctions against the International Criminal Court (ICC) The sanctions announcement coincided with a former ICC judge, Navi Pillay, being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump is mad because he didnt the Nobel prize. Big baby.

Some adult woman on TV says her life was ruined when she went thru sex change. She shows photos of her in the hospital with her parents. I feel bad for her, but she should blame her parents. It's not the government's job to force mental health care on a screwed up family.

The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is docking in San Diego at Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado. on Thursday, October 8, 2026 Returned after 321 days at sea (nearly 11 months) Is the Captain aware that Pres. Trump is considering bombing San Diego?

From the Hill, "Pete Hegseth will travel to San Diego on Tuesday and will welcome the USS Abraham Lincoln crew home on Wednesday after the aircraft carrier extended its deployment to the Middle East." So thats why Trump wants Iran to bomb San Diego. I thought he liked Hegseth?

Corporations have colluded w/ICE and allowed ICE to raid their facilities and take their workers into custody. The corporations schedule the raid just before the workers are to be paid for the week. The exploitation is disgusting! But, I guess it's the workers, trying to eat, who are the criminals?🤪

Vice President JD Vance thinks that Americans are too worried about the “little things” ahead of midterms—like gas prices, debt, Immigration and Customs Enforcement killings, and war. WTF! Im glad those little things dont keep Vance up at night.

Am I the only person concerned about the fact that Hegseth has fired all the Generals loyal to the constitution and replacing them with people who are loyal to him? Is anyone concerned that when the Democrats tried to impeach Hegseth, Johnson shut down the congress for the past month?

Set the record straight Data obtained by the Cato Inst through the Freedom of Information Act that Biden had open borders. In fact, the border crisis began before Biden took office and ended before he left.

From his administration’s first day in Jan. 2021, Biden increased border enforcement—arrests, detentions, and removals of border crossers all increased.

Pentagon chief stuck to his culture-war grievances, stripping the “woke” out of the Department of Defense (DOD), bashing the news media for its coverage of the Iran war, and proclaiming the “warrior ethos” has been revived and the U.S. military has been “rebuilt.” This sounds crazy

Good news from the Federal Reserve. NOT! "Excluding more volatile food and energy prices, annual inflation in August was at 3 percent, the PCE data shows." So as long as we don't eat or drive, there is no inflation. Wow! Who knew the economy was so great?

The administration introduced the tariff-free import quota as a short-term measure to lower soaring grocery and ground beef prices for American consumers, promising the meat would sell at 25% below current market prices.

When pressed by reporters and the public on which specific foreign countries would supply the massive volume of beef, President Trump initially responded, "I don't want to say," leading to widespread public skepticism and the satirical label "mystery meat". Read or watch Soylent Green.

From the Hill. :Several current and former Anthropic researchers are offering a stark warning about AI, suggesting the technology they are developing could destroy humanity in the near future." If you have no humans, why need AI? Maybe AI could teach a new species to be better than us.

From the Hill "Democratic Sen. John Fetterman (Pa.) appeared in a video praising fellow Pennsylvania Sen. Dave McCormick (R) at the Republican National Committee’s (RNC) midterm convention Wednesday." He says he's there because he is a common sense Democrat. Yeah, right.

Bombardier made Wichita its U.S. headquarters in 2022 to expand flight tests and upgrade operations for its Learjet, Challenger and Global business jets. Trump’s threats would not only impact Bombardier employees in Kansas, but also Texas, Arizona, Florida, Tough they shouldnt have voted for him.

The Hill <<Germany’s far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) scored a major electoral victory over the weekend and promptly thanked one its most important patrons and supporters: Elon Musk.>> Great. This is a reason why there should be a 90% tax on any income over $10 million.

Johnson-They have full on Trump derangement syndrome,and it informs how they see the world, how they react, and how irresponsible they are. Now it is on full display for the whole country. I hope voters remember this in the fall. You’ve got to keep the grownups in charge, and that’s the Republicans.

From the Hill.But as they attempt to win back voters who migrated to the GOP, Democrats are also gripping with the rise of democratic socialism within their own party — a movement they see as a turnoff to some Hispanic voters, particularly the older set who hail from nations like Cuba and Venezuela.

This is what Vice Pres JD Vance said to the press. “I’m sure that we’ll have many, many intense intellectual conversations, and you know, it’ll be great. We’ll have a great time with Joe Biden and the other presidents,” he added, while laughing. Biden has fatal bone cancer. Vance is an ass.

From the Hill, "President Trump on Tuesday questioned when the Iranian people would “rise up and fight,” When is Trump going to wake up and smell the coffee?

From the Hill,"Democratic candidates in competitive election races are taking different tacks this cycle over how close to affiliate themselves with former Vice President Kamala Harris" Please no! We do not want to remind people why they did not vote or voted for Trump.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on Wednesday said the Trump administration would not “just sit down and take” The country is being run by idiots.

"President Trump signed an executive order Thursday formally changing the name of Lake Ontario to "Lake America" amid the U.S. trade war with Canada. " Right, we don't own Lake Ontario. Does he he think anyone cares what he calls it? Do you think he is senile?

The Hill - "Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf on Tuesday bashed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent as being “way out of their league” in trying to bring Tehran to the table for peace negotiations." Of course they are. No skills for their jobs.

[re: changes to supreme court] Great news —he doesn’t have to start from scratch. Rep. Hank Johnson has the bills written already. Changes would include adding seats to the Supreme Court, term limits, and a clear code of ethics they can actually be held accountable for breaking. About time.
