🚨BREAKING: MAGA candidate Mike Caruso, the suspended Palm Beach County clerk accused of m*lesting his young grandson, just lost in a landslide to Democrat Yvette Drucker. Caruso, a DeSantis appointee who refused to drop out despite felony child s*x abuse charges, still pulled 38% of the vote—close to the share of registered Republicans in the county. Ironically, Caruso voted for the death penalty for adults convicted of s*xual battery against a child.

Burgum just signed an order opening more public land to cattle, reviving suspended grazing allotments, and putting wildlife protections on the chopping block. More favors for Karen Budd-Falen and her special interests, paid for by wildlife and the public. bit.ly/48piYZu

JON OSSOFF JUST LAID OUT THE WHOLE SCAM IN GEORGIA — AND IT'S BIGGER THAN ONE DEAL. At his closing rally in Morrow, Georgia, Senator Jon Ossoff walked through it deal by deal. Georgia is listening: he leads Mike Collins 55-40 in the latest poll, and 2.2 million Georgians have already voted. While Donald cuts a diesel deal with Vladimir Putin — 300,000 tons now, 500,000 in November, a million more after that, while diesel sits at $6.33 a gallon for American farmers and truckers — his own son-in-law Jared Kushner and his envoy Steve Witkoff are brokering the sale of Lukoil's $20-22 billion in international oil fields, refineries and gas stations to the first family's friends. The buyers, as Jon Ossoff named them: Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's spy chief, who paid $500 million for half of the Trump-Witkoff crypto company days before the inauguration. Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat, the Syrian-born brothers financing Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump's multi-billion-dollar Albanian resort. And billionaire Todd Boehly leading the consortium. The United States government itself would take a 15% stake — through the same government that is supposed to approve the deal. Then Marco Rubio: his State Department helped steer up to $1.6 billion in taxpayer backing to the Trump sons' tungsten mine in Kazakhstan — the company's own chief executive says it got 'direct assistance' from Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Howard Lutnick. Then Pete Hegseth's Pentagon: a $620 million loan to Vulcan Elements, the magnet company Donald Trump Jr.'s fund invested in three months earlier — the biggest loan that Pentagon office ever gave. And Venezuelan oil money routed through Qatari bank accounts — $500 million in the first sale alone, more than $13 billion taken in by late July. And Elon Musk? Apartheid Clyde is one of these elites. He spent $475 million buying this election, his companies took $10 billion more in federal contracts since he left DOGE, and his Tesla paid ZERO in federal income taxes on $5.7 billion in U.S. profits. That's why he tells poor people America will end if his side loses. It has nothing to do with them. They are just the infantry for an oligarchy waiting to happen. This is not a presidency. This is the biggest Ponzi scam in American history — and it is a national security danger, because the men running the State Department, the Pentagon and the negotiating table are cutting resource deals for the family while you pay $6.33 for diesel. So hear Jon Ossoff's closing line, and hear it like it's real: Raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God, in front of the United States Congress? Because next year, that's where this ends. 1 day. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT.

Meet MAGAt and convicted murdered Tifany Adams, the former chair of the Cimarron County Republican Party in Oklahoma. Before her political career ended in a set of handcuffs, she was a localized MAGA powerhouse, orchestrating local GOP efforts while secretly leading a dual life as a member of an anti-government, religious extremist group known as "God's Misfits." Behind the facade of conservative family values, Adams was weaponizing her political standing to mask a deeply sinister, venomous plot born out of a bitter, five-year custody battle over her grandchildren. The depravity of her misconduct peaked on March 30, 2024. Driven by pure malice and desperate to block the children's mother from gaining custody in an upcoming court hearing, Adams and her co-conspirators executed a calculated execution plan. They had previously plotted to kill the mother by staging a drug overdose and even throwing an anvil through her windshield. When those failed, they lured 27-year-old Veronica Butler and 39-year-old Jilian Kelley—a pastor’s wife who was completely innocent and murdered simply for being a witness—into a fatal ambush on a desolate dirt road off State Highway 95. The group stabbed both women to death, crammed their bodies into a chest freezer, and buried them ten feet underground in a remote cow pasture. Justice finally caught up with her on February 2, 2026. Stripped of her political titles, Adams entered a no-contest plea to avoid the death penalty. A Texas County judge handed her two concurrent life-without-parole sentences for first-degree murder, plus an additional 24 years for the unlawful removal and desecration of human corpses. Her co-conspirators are currently awaiting their own capital murder trials, scheduled for 2027.

🚨Adam Radogna, a 37-year-old Brook Park, Ohio restaurant owner, didn’t just support Donald Trump—he turned it into his whole identity. Facebook posts of “Trump Forever” hats, Trump rally selfies all around the country, “Never Surrender” signs, photos posing with Trump, and endless MAGA cosplay. As a certified “Front Row Joe,” he told reporters he’d attended more than 40 rallies, camping out with a tiny group of superfans who treat front-row seats like a full-time job. On October 28, a Cuyahoga County grand jury indicted him on 10 felonies for possessing dozens of files of child s*xual abuse material. The Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force executed a search warrant at his home on October 22 after a joint federal-state investigation into a file-sharing network flagged his residence. Charges include two counts of illegal use of a minor or impaired person in n*dity-oriented material or performance, seven counts of pandering s*xually oriented matter involving a minor or impaired person (all second-degree felonies), and one count of possessing criminal tools. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley stated: “Arresting creeps like Adam Radogna demonstrates why law enforcement has to be proactive in finding these predators.” Radogna posted $75,000 bond, is on home detention, and surrendered his passports. Predictably, Adamo’s Italian Restaurant posted that the allegations are “baseless and false” and they expect “speedy exoneration” while remaining open. Some of Radogna’s stick out now like a sore thumb. He posted that Donald Trump’s 34 felony convictions were “34 more reasons” to support and he posted his own self-made mugshot wearing a Trump-hat to show solidarity with Trump’s criminality. When your public persona is red hats, rally camping, and supporting Trump above all else, don’t be surprised when Americans are suspicious of what’s on your hard drive.

Trump says we're building more factories than at any time in our history. In reality, factory construction is down over 30% from its 2024 peak, and it's still falling.

Sadly, I agree with you. Collins is Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown (Democrats) as he approaches to kick it.
Torn between two impulses (1) All polling and prediction market indicators suggest Troy Jackson is going to win (2) I really believe, in my bones, that Susan Collins is an immortal who cannot be defeated by a man of woman born

Trump said he would have won the Vietnam war in one week by bombing "the Ho Chi Minh City" instead of dropping "red stuff in the forests for years. AGENT ORANGE. They called it Agent Orange even though it was red." Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) was the capital of South Vietnam, our ally. Where our troops were stationed. Agent Orange was named after the orange stripe on the canisters, and it was not red. It was yellowish-brown. Oh... and Trump dodged the draft to Vietnam FIVE TIMES.🤦‍♂️🤡

I know @HaleyforMI way better than most people on X. She and I came into Congress together in 2018. She was co-Prez of our freshman class. She was incredibly kind to me when my late partner died; she organized a big group of our class to come to the House floor to support me when I spoke about his suicide. We were roommates in 2023, after my wonderful first roomie lost her election; both my adult kids know Haley well and are on a texting basis with her. We’ve socialized and we have good friends in common. While she and I differ on one impt issue, specifically Israel and AIPAC support, I’ve never publicly challenged her on those things, because I felt that her good points outweighed the issues I disagreed with her on. Today, that changes. 👇 Haley’s endorsement of Rogers in the MI senate race is appalling. Not because he’s a Republican, but because what he stands for is what she, and I, and our caucus has fought so hard against. Rogers is a 100% anti-choice politician. He is a Trump loyalist. He’s shown his Islamophobia in his many remarks against @AbdulElSayed, and with this endorsement, Haley has shown that she agrees with his positions. I’m shocked by Haley’s endorsement. I’m terribly sad and disappointed. I’m furious and will be more so if we lose the MI senate race. So many people in the Democratic Party have shown so much support to Haley over the years, and she has betrayed them all. If this is because of her new relationship (about which many of us were so happy for her after she lost the primary), all I can say is that any woman who abandons her friends when a new guy comes along is no friend at all. The fallout for Haley won’t just be in Dem politics; she will be a pariah among her friends in the Democratic caucus in Congress. Only she will be able to decide whether it was worth it.
