If you want to understand Jim Comey’s argument that the Information (it’s not an indictment) against him should be dismissed, I lay it out for you, with statutes and the caselaw, here. (Also, there is a chicken). joycevance.substack.com/p/another-re...

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska, crossing party lines just one week before the midterms. She urged Republicans, independents, and Democrats to consider the Democratic ticket: “Alaska needs leaders who will put our state first.”

No race should go uncontested. This Minnesota math teacher is causing the GOP to pump money into what should have been a sure thing. If Republicans keep the seat, it will have cost them resources. Better yet, the Democrat might actually win! #BlueWaveIn7Days www.washingtonsun.com/perspectives...

DOJ has no business interfering in Alaska’s Senate election, especially after voting has already begun. @PreetBharara.bsky.social and I discuss the lawsuit on a new @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider podcast: cafe.visitlink.me/k7BUyo

It's no longer left versus right, liberals versus conservatives or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. Know the stakes. The midterms are here.

Saudi Arabia is running out of options. Ansar Allah is hammering Saudi oil infrastructure, targeting airports, and threatening the Kingdom’s economic ambitions. MBS is begging for help. But the US is tied up with Iran, and the Houthis know how much leverage they have. There is no easy way out.

"If DOJ or ICE agents show up claiming emergency powers, election officials should say that none of their instructions will be obeyed without a court order signed by a judge. The “administrative warrants” issued by Homeland Security are not sufficient." www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/o...

I endorse this message.

Susan Collins tried to mock her Democratic opponent for being a fifth-generation logger. It backfired. Now Troy Jackson is firing back, exposing just how out of touch Collins has become with working-class Mainers.

Thank you to the Pretti family for their courage. Minnesotans have not forgotten.

🚨 Troy Jackson FIRES BACK after Susan Collins runs an ad questioning his qualifications as a fifth-generation logger. “It's not the first time I've had someone that thought they were better than me talk down to me.” “Actually it IS about a cord of wood. People can't afford to heat their homes.”

🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over what he describes as a $400,000 campaign bus and a request for gas money. “I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.” “That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”

BREAKING NEWS: The 9th circuit has ruled to DISMISS the DOJ’s effort to remove 20,000 ballots from California’s voter rolls. The decision was 2-1. This win sends a message to the DOJ: In America, leaders don’t get to pick their voters. Voters pick our leaders.

Last week, I met with young leaders from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance at the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

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...

Good news: Maurene Comey is back at SDNY after a judge ruled her firing unlawful Who trusts a case if the prosecutor’s job hangs on pleasing the president? Rules keep the answer simple, & today they protected more than one person -TN

Winnewissa Falls in Pipestone National Monument. I love our public lands and want them to remain preserved for future generations, so I’m voting with that in mind. I’ll be voting straight-line Democratic, because it’s the only way to put a check on the movement that wants to sell them off.

The bad: measles cases in the U.S. are more than double what they were last year, with 96% of cases being unvaccinated. The good: Pennsylvania has so far administered 14,000 more vaccines this year than last. The dream: The anti-vax movement is deservedly shunned and everyone gets vaccinated.
