Russian operatives are likely trying to meddle in the Senate race in Texas in the most prominent example yet of a foreign effort to mislead voters ahead of the midterm elections, three teams of disinformation researchers say. https://t.co/eCFTj0i3vg

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million.

Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”

"When you're talking about Brooks Robinson you are not only talking about one of the best third baseman that ever played the game of baseball, but about the man whose life came as close as possible to that of that man from Galilee.
Not only was he loved in Baltimore for his feats on the field, but he is loved for his affection towards the fans and the numerous contributions he made for the community.
A true HOF`er on the field and off."

During a trip to Venezuela in September, I found people hoping for change, but shocked and surprised by US policy. The system looks, one economist told me, like “a coalition of two kleptocracies"

Trump blame Kyiv for the rise in energy prices while ignoring the real culprit, Iran shutting the Strait of Hormuz

He’s convinced himself that Ukraine’s refineries attacks are, in part, meant to undermine GOP’s midterm chances—and, by extension, Trump https://t.co/qdgfG6e8Ii

Covert Russian Group Injects Baseless Claim Into the Texas Senate Race.
Russian influence operations appear to be stepping up efforts to meddle in the midterms, according to intelligence officials. Most are targeting Democrats.

Trump on Amy Acton: "If what the mother said about the daughter is half right, she has no right even running for the governor of Ohio..."

KC: What about what the daughter said about the mother?

TRUMP: "I don’t know what she said."

KC: "That the mother remained married to her stepfather who sexually abused her when she was 12 years old."

TRUMP: "When did she make that statement? Was it just recently?"

KC: "Years ago. He was charged with it."

“In late spring 2020, a source I knew to be reliable called me with a story,” writes Matthew Cole. “The Dutch government had hacked into Jared Kushner’s phone and monitored him as he accessed a Dubai-based bank account. What was odd, the source said, was that the money in the account—hundreds of millions of dollars—had come from a bank in Azerbaijan. Most importantly, Kushner appeared to have transferred significant amounts of money from the Dubai account to other individuals, including a warlord, a mercenary and a one-time hit man. The story sounded preposterous, I told my source. And yet.

Six months later, I found myself speaking with someone else about the UAE government and their use of mercenaries in conflicts around the Middle East and Africa when I asked, on a whim, whether they knew anything about Kushner and bank transfers from a UAE account. My acquaintance grew quiet. Then they replied, ‘Yes.’” Kushner’s lawyer denied the bank account existed.

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

So many people have been wondering: what happens if ICE shows up at my polling place?

Jonathan Diaz of @CampaignLegal has answers, and a lawsuit ready.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. https://t.co/8AyV60gg1X

Is Trump waiting for his script from Putin before he is allowed to respond?

[CBS News @CBSNews]

President Trump was asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's assertion that new Russian strikes overnight show Russian President Vladimir Putin does not want peace.

"Well, we'll see how it works out. That's been happening a lot," Trump replied.

@arielhelwani @AlanDawsonSport Is there an insurance company that would actually cover anyone flying to Riyadh to work on or participate in this event?

[Acyn @Acyn]

OSSOFF: There's every reason to believe that our foreign policy with respect to Russia and Ukraine is being influenced by deal making Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are undertaking in their negotiations with Putin that will directly benefit the first family's cronies.

It is like a kaleidoscopic spectacle of corruption unlike anything we've ever seen in the history of our republic.

Two days after @BoutrousTed sent a letter to the DOJ threatening further legal action if the White House keeps excluding CNN from Air Force One, the White House is at it again.

Today is CNN’s turn to fulfill both in-town and out-of-town TV pool duties, but the White House press office left the network off the list for Trump’s trip to South Carolina, so as a result there will be no pooled TV coverage of the trip.

Boutrous said in the letter that he needs to hear back from the administration by Thursday at 5 p.m. Eastern, or CNN “will be forced to pursue additional judicial relief…”
