As Democrats focus on federal candidates, Trump and his allies have homed in on the local offices where most election disputes start and end, write Kim Rogers and Eric Ming. They have stacked the courts with judges who will approve anything to ensure MAGA victories: demdock.com/4AA78sj

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

Ok so Trump is *promising* that he will pay every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win the House & Senate. And as I’m sure other astute observers are noting, that’s essentially a taxpayer-backed, congressionally unapproved $1.3 trillion bribe. He’s bribing the entire country—with our own money

Haaretz: A week and a half before October 7, 2023 UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from Abu Dhabi and spoke with him for 45 minutes.

In that conversation, bin Zayed warned that Hamas’ leader in Gaza, Yahya Sinwar, was planning a major operation against Israel.

Bin Zayed urged Netanyahu to take the situation seriously. To his surprise, however, the prime minister reacted with relative calm. Netanyahu said that, in his assessment, Hamas intended to operate in the West Bank area, and he reassured bin Zayed that Israel was prepared for any scenario.
