🚨BREAKING: The Trump administration asked Washington to set aside ballots from around 400 registered voters it claims may be noncitizens. The alarming request comes amid the DOJ's legal effort to compel California to do the same to 20k voters.

NEW: At least 18 voting centers in Alaska Native communities have not opened despite early voting having already started in the state last week. “There is no legal excuse for the failure to open these sites,” one state senator wrote to the Alaska elections chief.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

Tuberville: "Zelensky will play hardball, but you know what? He's not even a player in the game. Putin, President Trump, and the people on our side will make the final decision about Ukraine's future."

The only thing we are required to do at the mid-terms or any election is vote for the most qualified candidate that will have your back. We shouldnt have to pay the candidate. Money needs to be kicked out of politics. Our vote for you is your reward. You should expect nothing more.

Vivek Ramaswamy claimed primary residences in both New York and Ohio. Only one can be his primary residence. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

Ric Grenell allegedly outlined a stunning pay-for-influence offer to a Turkish billionaire last year: access to "POTUS," "VIP events" and administration officials, according to a text message, reviewed by Axios, that the White House counsel is investigating. I have no faith in this WH counsel.

Can’t believe this happened to a party led by a man who confused AL with GA on a hurricane map, confused Sioux Falls with Sioux City, and congratulated Kansas after the Chiefs won the Super Bowl. But remember the rules: It’s always the Dems that misunderstand and disrespect “flyover” America.

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.
