Can't wait for the GOP's new midterm numbers to start reflecting Trump's disastrous Iran surrender deal. I'm watching for support numbers to start reporting in the 20s. Based on the looming collapse of GOP turnout, no seat is safe if Dem's have somebody running with a pulse.

Trump has no role in local voting. Shouldn’t he and his goons all be charged if they violate state law by interfering in the vote count? Presume Trump’s prosecution should be stayed but the others could proceed. @marceelias

JUST IN: The Trump administration has preemptively filed a lawsuit seeking to block certification of Alaska's US Senate election if the Republican incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan loses in the state which could decide the balance of power in the Senate. https://t.co/JHQU56KKfH

2/ These accounts remind me of Brad Parscale’s work he did for after the Kremlin was exposed in 2016 leading to Trump’s loss in 2020.

1/ I’ve noticed something about the inauthentic pro-Russian accounts since the YANDEX sites were destroyed. The trolls a less creative, less subtle.

👀 Balloons with suspensions, probably with explosives or small drones, are sneaking into Moscow.

💥Ukraine is currently attacking Moscow. All Moscow airports are closed to incoming and outgoing flights.

According to Russian media, Ukrainian drones are attempting to penetrate Moscow's air defenses by dropping UAVs from carriers.

President Trump made another unexpected and odd sound during his rally in Iowa on October 22, 2026. I went ahead and added a zoom to that moment. I also slowed the same clip down to 25% speed. I have no idea what is going on with him but he’s had two episodes like this.

🚨BREAKING: U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche, in new comments, did not rule out that the Department of Justice (DOJ) could try to prevent a state from certifying its election results — a process over which the federal government has no authority. https://t.co/QXxuegTirb

BREAKING: Israeli government sources tell me that Israel is closely monitoring Saudi Arabia’s expanding domestic ballistic missile production capabilities and the enlargement of its missile bases.

These sources view the kingdom’s ballistic missile forces as a potential deterrent against Israel. They also believe that a future Saudi nuclear programme, with Pakistani assistance, could enable the kingdom to domestically design and manufacture nuclear warheads for its ballistic missiles to deter Israel.

Reuters reports that the Royal Saudi Strategic Missile Force appears to be expanding its ballistic missile factory at the al-Duwadimi complex, approximately 200km west of Riyadh, to manufacture larger solid-fuel missiles.

Commercial satellite images taken between April 2025 and September 2026 show a new building at least twice the size of the existing facility, likely intended for casting missile motors. A second new building may be used to store fuel ingredients or finished components.

Musk trying to buy the midterm Senate for the GOP & Trump executive branch, but some GOP members don’t seem to agree.

Politico: “North Dakota Sen. Kevin Cramer said Thursday that he had concerns about Elon Musk’s influence over national security matters after Ukraine was blindsided by a disruption of a satellite communications service developed by Musk’s SpaceX.
“We’re putting too many eggs in one company’s basket when it comes to our space assets,” the Republican member of the Armed Services Committee said. He added about Musk that he was concerned about the power of “one individual and one company over America’s ability to protect the domain of space, which is a war-fighting domain.”
