Louisiana’s most populous county, East Baton Rouge Parish, hasn’t had a contested DA race since 2008. This fall, the longtime DA faces a prominent defense attorney with a history of denouncing local practices.

Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins has long been known for his eagerness to assist ICE in immigration enforcement. This fall, he’s running for reelection against a candidate who promises to shun collaboration with the federal agency.

An American Samoan family in Alaska facing felony voting charges unanimously rejected any plea deals. They maintained that they never intentionally broke the law, and wanted to avoid creating a precedent that could harm other U.S. nationals.

Five weeks from right now, polls will be closing and we’ll all be watching the election results come in. Whether the people win back power or the fascists consolidate control comes down to the work we do over these next 35 days.

Notice, Eric Schmitt, (many Nazis had those names) did not spend one minute berating Nazi Trump for his treasonous plot against America! Trump swore to honor the constitution in his oath of office. He lied.

Every single word of this. We are embarrassed. We are furious. Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is unfit for office. He’s a clown. He’s a danger to our country. And he can’t be trusted with the pile of dog shit in my backyard. His term is up in 2028.

After listening to Eric Schmitt today, I think it's high time we instituted a measure whereby - if a speaking lawmaker makes a brazenly false assertion, an airhorn warning goes off - and if they do it again or double down on it, the floor underneath them opens, swallows them up, and they disappear.

What gets me is Eric Schmitt has VP ambitions, under Vance. LOL, as if. Schmitt, who wants to run the nation one day, seems to lack the basic competence ..of double checking. Now, translate that deficiency to making life-or-death national decisions. Nah. It’s not a skill that improves, either.

I wonder, is this grounds for a defamation suit? He clearly sought to set up a perjury trap, claimed Smith perjured himself in a public forum, and then tried to stifle any argument, all to discredit him. That sounds like a lawsuit to me.

Two countries voted against making food a human right at the UN, Israel and the USA. The vote would have mandated the UN to prevent starvation, and the US and Israel didn't want to fund preventing starvation.

Interesting details on how the Iowa steel deal got done. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...
Mesabi executives have leaned on a Trump-world insider as the company has sought to expand its footprint in the United States. The company hired Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser, as its lobbyist, paying him at least $240,000 through his company SHW Partners, according to lobbying disclosure records. The government of India also hired Mr. Miller’s company, paying $150,000 per month for “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance on policy matters before the U.S. government,” according to federal filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.

Pepsi flagged higher prices this week. The 2021 to 2022 pattern is repeating, where companies raised prices despite flattish volumes. What looked like a one-off tied to the Iran war two months ago now looks structural. Companies are already telling markets they are raising prices into 2027.
