Former AG Holder on the Trump administration's attempts to interfere in the Alaska Senate race:
"This Justice Department is a part of the political arm of the White House. It does not act independently. The Attorney General has said that. He says he works for Donald Trump."

EU's Ursula von der Leyen: "Yes, the concept of an associate member is uncharted territory, but we have the ambition, trust and creativity to shape it together. And to be crystal clear, this is a partnership not against anyone else, but for our common strength."

The name "Dan Sullivan" showing up twice on the Alaska ballot doesn't bother me.
The name "Donald Trump" appearing in the Epstein files THOUSANDS of times does.

Republicans love to manufacture outrage over transgender people. But when you follow the money behind the outrage, you usually find Republican political operatives.
And this case is no exception.
A court-ordered disclosure has exposed the clients behind mysterious text messages targeting Texas voters with anti-transgender messaging: the Republican Women’s Caucus Fund and John Braun, a Republican Washington state senator running for Congress.
The texts began arriving October 12. Five days later, millions of mailers began landing in Texas mailboxes under the name of a fake transgender student group, impersonating a legitimate LGBTQ+ organization.
There’s no such thing as coincidences. Follow the money.

Ryan, a lifelong Republican, is voting differently this year:
"I believe that Dr. Andrews is, by a large margin, the best candidate for Senate for the great state of South Carolina."
"Doing the same thing over and over again is the definition of insanity." #BlueWaveIn5Days

Among the disappointments that led to the eminent threat to America's democracy I feel most betrayed by the Supreme Court.
That institution was to be our failsafe against waves of delirium and fascist irrationality.
Instead SCOTUS became an ally to hasten lunacy. – at Edgewood, KY

Look, I don't have a problem with Mr. DiLorenzo's $40 million mansion on a private island, or his $19 million yacht, or the fact that he shows up in a helicopter to campaign events. My problem is that he is hiding 90% of his assets in offshore tax havens like the Turks and Caicos.
He is cheating the system while teachers, firefighters, electrical workers are paying their fair share. #NH01 #NHPolitics

НОВОКУЙБИШЕВСЬКИЙ НПЗ У ВОГНІ: ОПУБЛІКОВАНО ВІДЕО ВЛУЧАНЬ УКРАЇНСЬКИХ ДРОНІВ FP-1 З СЕРЕДИНИ ОБ'ЄКТА
Відео зсередини об'єкта фіксує масштабну пожежу, що спалахнула на промисловому майданчику.
УКРАЇНСЬКІ ДРОНИ FP-1 АТАКУВАЛИ НОВОКУЙБИШЕВСЬКИЙ НПЗ ТА ІНШІ СТРАТЕГІЧНІ ПІДПРИЄМСТВА У САМАРСЬКІЙ ОБЛАСТІ
Українські далекобійні безпілотники FP-1 уразили Новокуйбишевський НПЗ у Самарській області — один із ключових об'єктів переробки потужністю близько 8,8 мільйона тонн нафти на рік.
На території підприємства зафіксовано серію влучань, зокрема критичних ушкоджень зазнала установка гідроочищення дизельного пального.
Атака відбулася на тлі активних дипломатичних тисків: раніше Джаред Кушнер в Осло озвучив вимогу Дональда Трампа про 30-денну паузу в ударах по НПЗ як «жест вдячності за дипломатію».
Україна, зі свого боку, розраховувала на симетричне енергетичне перемир'я, ракети до систем Patriot або дозвіл на використання Starlink на території РФ, тоді як частина європейських партнерів закликала утриматися від атак до завершення виборів у США.

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Women’s Caucus Fund has been unmasked as the force behind the fake Texas Transgender Student Union (TTSU). This Wyoming LLC, formed in September, flooded as many as 3 million Texas mailboxes and phones with texts and brochures just as early voting began for the midterms.
Posing as a trans advocacy outfit, the materials—addressed to the children of registered voters—coached minors on seeking gender-affirming care even against parents’ wishes, pursuing emancipation, going out-of-state for hormones or surgery, and finding a “found family.” They copied branding from the real Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) and used a near-identical address.
Legal filings named the Republican Women’s Caucus and “John Braun”—the name of a Washington state senator whose campaign treasurer, Paul Kilgore, also handles finances for the RWC Fund and PACs supporting Ken Paxton’s Senate bid against Democrat James Talarico. TTSU’s lawyer is former Paxton assistant AG Chris Hilton.
TENT sued, claiming harassment, threats, and operational harm. Judge Jan Soifer ordered disclosure, rejecting free-speech secrecy claims.
So, a Republican-linked group, with financial ties to Paxton-supporting PACs, mass-produced and distributed materials that impersonated a transgender student resource guide. In other words, the people who routinely accuse the transgender community of “indoctrinating” or targeting children, themselves produced and mailed the very content designed to look like that targeting—so parents would see it and react.
Every Republican accusation is a confession.

Trump supporter: "I know God is using Donald Trump!"
Reporter: "Do you know the candidates for the SC Senate race?"
TS: "No, but I have to go with what's in my heart; I don't know the candidates!"
Trump supporters are dumber than a box of rocks!
They are totally clueless.

CNN: Did it impact your vote at all?
Alaska Voter: Not a bit.
CNN: Can you tell who's who here?
AV: Absolutely. You've got Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. and then you have Sullivan Dan, who's a registered Republican and incumbent. And I don't even have my glasses on. It's pretty clear it's in black and white. It's very clear.

South Carolina Congressman Russell Fry told people at a rally to lie to Democrats and tell them the election is on November 4th and not the 3rd. This is actually a crime.
Let’s face it, @POTUS would never agree to that! 😳🤦♀️🤪🤐
U.S. Sen. candidate @AbdulElSayed (D-MI) responds to Trump's comment that he should go through metal detectors if elected: "I'll go through a metal detector if you'll sit for a lie detector... My first question, Epstein. Second question, did you win the 2020 election?"
