This election is going to be about the economy. That’s why the GOP is losing support from men. Trump won them by 12 in 2024 and Dems have a 4 point lead now. No amount of fear mongering about ‘transing’ kids is going to make voters look at their grocery bill and think ‘eh this isn’t so bad.’

Ossoff: "How can a sitting congressman vote to shut down a labor and delivery unit in his own district? Delivering mothers in Mike Collins's district now have to drive an hour to get to a labor and delivery unit while they're in labor while we already a maternal mortality crisis."

Hours later, Trump posts that the US has just had “productive talks” with Iran and announced the US will not attack Iran before the midterms.

In early 2026, Homeland Security spent about a billion dollars on 11 ICE detention facility warehouses to store migrant detainees, and despite a court order saying they were banned, the NJ facility might still be in use. www.npr.org/2026/10/08/n...

ICE has quietly used this warehouse as a detention facility all summer, neighbors say
Throughout the summer, rumors have been bubbling in North New Jersey that ICE has quietly been using a warehouse as a detention center. NPR investigated.

Russ Vought is the Project 2025’s main author. P2025 has already been 55% implemented. Here, Trump is likely referencing the final 45% of P2025, which will be absolutely catastrophic. Here are the five (5) most significant P2025 overhauls remaining; someone probs mentioned some of this ⬇️ to Trump.
September 13, 2026 at 12:28 PM

1. Abortion Ban (Comstock Act).
- SCOTUS will outlaw shipment of mifepristone and abortion equipment.
States will sue to protect reproductive healthcare access and lose.
- SCOTUS will build on Dobbs, and hold (6-3) that federal law preempts state protections, establishing a de facto national ban on abortion meds.

2. Department of Education fully eliminated
- Rendering Title I/IDEA funds discretionary for states.
- Title IX (gender and LGBTQ+ discrimination; sexual assault) adjudication all eliminated.
- SCOTUS will permit states reallocate fed funds to private school vouchers.

3. Schedule F Civil Service Overhaul
- They'll convert tens of thousands of career civil servants into fireable political appointees, then fire them. Unions will sue over statutory civil service protections and due process, and lose.
- SCOTUS will promote "Unitary Executive Theory," holding the President has absolute firing power. Civil Service will be dismantled.

4. Obergefelll and "DEI"
- The federal government will eliminate all LGBTQ+ non-discrimination protections and enforce the "traditional family" model.
- Challenges to state marriage bans will prompt extremist rulings re: the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS will ultimately overturn Obergefell, returning marriage "definitions" to the states.

5. Medicare Privatization & Medicaid Elimination
- They'll force Medicare Advantage beneficiaries into default. They'll block
Medicaid funds to providers who offer any reproductive care.
- States will challenge restrictions on patient provider choice and lose.
SCOTUS will uphold broad federal authority to restrict funds and accelerate of the privatization/cancellation of the "welfare state."

The Trump administration will start selecting lawyers for unaccompanied minors. Meaning the judges work for Donald Trump, the prosecutors work for Trump, and now the attorneys representing children will work for Trump. This is a rigged system that will result in more untold horrors for these kids.

Of course. The Supreme Court kicked off its new term today by hearing oil companies’ attempt to throw out a lawsuit seeking to make them pay for climate damage they caused. The outcome could determine whether similar lawsuits brought by cities and counties across the country can move forward.

BREAKING: In Nebraska rally, Trump just suggested he would be unbothered to see Iran "take out" LA or San Diego: “They could take out a city,” he said. “Let them take—Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. That’s—this is a very small price to pay."

True, after losing all daddy’s $413M and going $3B in debt before going chapter 11 bankrupt; when no banks would loan to the shyster anymore. Trump would be a homeless popper if not for billion$ from Russian “banks”, managed by the State. He’s been. Kompromat paid employee of the Kremlin ever since.

The challenger in Los Angeles is Nithya Raman, an Indian-born urban planner and two-term City Council member who is trying to unseat Democratic Mayor Karen Bass on Nov. 3. Note: The latest poll I saw showed Nithya Raman ahead.
