“More than half the people outside the government who met with Hillary Clinton while she was secretary of state gave money — either personally or through companies or groups — to the Clinton Foundation. It's an extraordinary proportion indicating her possible ethics challenges if elected president.
“At least 85 of 154 people from private interests who met or had phone conversations scheduled with Clinton while she led the State Department donated to her family charity or pledged commitments to its international programs, according to a review of State Department calendars released so far to The Associated Press.
“Combined, the 85 donors contributed as much as $156 million. At least 40 donated more than $100,000 each, and 20 gave more than $1 million.”

“Over the course of 14 months, the Chinese energy conglomerate and its executives paid $4.8 million to entities controlled by Hunter Biden and his uncle, according to government records, court documents and newly disclosed bank statements, as well as emails contained on a copy of a laptop hard drive that purportedly once belonged to Hunter Biden….
“But the new documents — which include a signed copy of a $1 million legal retainer, emails related to the wire transfers, and $3.8 million in consulting fees that are confirmed in new bank records and agreements signed by Hunter Biden — illustrate the ways in which his family profited from relationships built over Joe Biden’s decades in public service.”

Way back in May, I warned about the absurdly slow pace of confirmations at the Senate Judiciary Committee. Currently there are 43 federal judicial vacancies: 28 current and 15 announced. Still have four district court vacancies in (formerly red) Texas! NC & Louisiana have 3 each! Get moving!
BREAKING: Missouri Democrat State Rep. Anthony Ealy Jr. was arrested less than 24 hours after winning his re-election. He is facing charges after allegedly trespassing and threatening to kill a couple.
We did TWICE as well here in California as the typical Republican across the country, in one of the toughest years for Republicans nationwide.
Our policies resonated with Californians desperate for change, and the common sense solutions are STILL there. Scrap the climate taxes on gas and you save about a DOLLAR every gallon.
Democrats could act on this right now. I hope Governor Becerra delivers.
There is a boycott movement building against Jennifer Welch's podcast over her hate-filled, vulgarity-spewing content. Various sponsors have already declared that they have had it with "I've had it" after she laughed over "digging up Charlie Kirk and doing it again." https://t.co/WRHSj2sVAg
A shirtless man in Chicago charged a firefighter in the middle of an active emergency.
A female officer was right there with a taser and didn’t stop him first.
The firefighter didn’t flinch. He swung his Halligan tool and dropped him with one hit.
Police moved in and restrained the man while witnesses watched.
Charging a firefighter holding a Halligan was a terrible decision.
🚨 BREAKING: Another prominent Democrat flips in Michigan's critical Senate race!
Former Democratic Rep. Hansen Clarke has officially endorsed Republican Mike Rogers, joining sitting Rep. Haley Stevens in backing the GOP candidate just hours before Election Day.
🚨INCREDIBLE: A 3-year-old was kidnapped from a public library. 48 minutes later, he was on a city bus crying next to his kidnapper — and no one knew.
No one except the bus driver.
In Milpitas, California, driver Tim Watson had heard the police alert earlier that day: Missing 3-year-old boy, city-wide search underway.
Then a man boarded his bus with a small boy who wouldn't stop crying. Something felt wrong.
Tim looked closer. The face. The clothes. The description. It was him.
But he couldn't scream. He couldn't confront him. One wrong move and that little boy could be in even more danger.
So Tim came up with a plan.
He got on the intercom and told passengers: "Someone reported a missing green backpack, I'm going to take a quick look."
He started walking the aisle, pretending to search for a backpack — but he was really getting a close look at the child.
It was the missing boy.
Tim quietly radioed dispatch, alerted police, and then did the hardest thing of all — he sat back down, stayed calm, and kept driving like nothing happened, with the alleged kidnapper sitting just feet behind him.
He kept that bus rolling until police intercepted it. Officers swarmed the bus, arrested the man, and scooped that terrified little boy into safety.
That child is home with his family tonight because one bus driver trusted his gut and stayed cool under pressure.
He's not a cop. He's not a hero who was supposed to be there.
He's Tim Watson — a bus driver who saw a child in danger and refused to look away.
This man deserves to be recognized.🙏
Are we really going to do this for ANOTHER four years because you can't bring yourself to vote Republican? That's fucking insane.
The definition of insanity is...
Democrats. Republicans. Independents.
Same room. Same frustration. Same signs.
California is fed up, and Tuesday is the receipt. There's something happening in California! You can see it in the crowds. You can hear it in their voices. Tuesday, we find out how big it is. After almost 2 decades of one party rule, it’s time to try something new and vote Hilton!!
