James Talarico: I've heard credible reports that Ken Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. That's why I haven't heard from him after 85 days when I first challenged him to a debate publicly. We're awaiting his answer.

“ABC pulling the story only made it a bigger story. Certainly not what Don Jr. or the WH were going for. And ABC doesn’t look great, either. All of which underscores the need for news that is neither owned nor leveraged by this White House— a commodity vanishingly rare in today’s media environment.”

Reprehensible. Europe must respond with more help for Ukraine to rapidly escalate drone production so that Trump ending sanctions on Russian oil becomes irrelevant. Market access won’t mean shit for Putin if his oil production capacity is annihilated.
Trump: I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel.
Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority.
This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon!
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

Senate candidates run on raising Social Security taxes for higher incomes to prevent benefit cuts
Social Security is projected to dip into insolvency and force a 22% benefit cut in 2032, or less than six years, meaning the class of senators elected this year will have to address the issue.
