You know the Republicans are desperate since right-wing accounts on social media began posting unverified videos of an alleged migrant caravan over the weekend. An alleged caravan set out for the U.S. in the fall of 2018 and strangely disappeared just after election day.

Speaker Mike Johnson on what Republicans will do if they hold the House: "What we would do in the next two years is exactly what we have been doing already" A vote for any Republican is a vote for more of the same: tariffs, high prices, healthcare cuts, tax breaks for billionaires, and war.

The Daily Beast reported in 2023 that Pete Ricketts has extensive investments in communist China. Ricketts didn't deny the story - he refused to comment. Even though he has unlimited resources, Ricketts didn't sue for defamation. That's pretty telling.

Whether it’s Benjamin Netanyahu empowering Hamas, presiding over a massive intelligence failure that let them kill 1,200 Israelis on October 7th, and then killing 74,000 Palestinians in response or Zohran Mamdani pointing out that he did this, both men have fueled their bitter feud.

Considering that the press covered as a top headline front page story for months the Hillary email bullshit as the most horrifying violation of ethics and/or laws, it's hard to even call it 'both sides'ing, as there are standards--including ridiculous fake harsh standards--for one & only one side.

The legacy media has failed the country for decades. They backed Bush's push for war in Iraq and sabotaged Hillary's 2016 campaign by obsessing on the phony email issue. The establishment media went overboard on Biden's age and have largely given Trump a free pass on his age and declining health.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Screenshot of an X post from the verified “Senate Republicans” account, @SenateGOP. The post reads: “Democrat socialists love to promise free stuff. But they never mention who pays for it.” Beneath the post is an X Community Note labeled “Readers added context.” The note states: “President Donald Trump has proposed several direct cash payouts and rebates funded by tariffs or budget cuts. None were provided.” It lists links from WBAL-TV, ABC7 Chicago, YouTube, and The New York Times as sources. At the bottom of the screenshot, the post is timestamped 4:06 PM on September 23, 2026, and shows 352,000 views.
