🧵🇺🇸 2026 MIDTERMS UPDATE Oct. 3 A notable shift in the Senate battlefield today: The GOP’s main Senate super PAC is pulling back in North Carolina and redirecting millions into Kansas. That says a lot about where Republicans now feel pressure.

🧵🇺🇸 MIDTERMS ALERT Oct. 2 The GOP governor map just got worse. Cook Political Report moved TEXAS and FLORIDA from Likely R → Lean R. Yes: Texas. And Florida. Two states Republicans normally expect to bank are now officially more competitive.

Its laughable how the guy who started a war with Iran used taxpayer money for ads to tell people to vote GOP to stop a war he started.

🧵🇺🇸 MIDTERMS UPDATE Oct. 1 A new Washington Post–Schar School poll suggests the Democratic House advantage may be reaching beyond the obvious battlegrounds. In VA-01, Democrat Shannon Taylor leads GOP Rep. Rob Wittman 50–46 among likely voters.

They won't send you home. They'll send you somewhere WORSE. The Supreme Court just greenlit deportations to countries people have NEVER lived in. A warning? A hearing? Not guaranteed. Advocates warn it sends people "to third countries where they face persecution or torture."

Supreme Court lets Trump resume deporting migrants to countries not their own
The US Supreme Court let President Donald Trump's administration resume deporting ​migrants to countries other than their own without offering them the chance to show the harms they may face.

DDHQ FORECAST: Democrats have a 55% chance of a Senate majority. The biggest projected swings from 2024 are in GOP-held seats: close to 16 points in Alaska, more than 15 in Texas and 14 in Iowa. Maine bucks the trend, with Susan Collins (R) averaging a 0.02-point lead. #AKSen #TXSen #IASen

After the breaking of the Nazi navy enigma in 1943, everybody in Germany, except for Adolf Hitler, knew that they lost the war. Like the midterms in the US.

It all makes sense if you know Trump is a genius move by Democrats. He was planted in the GOP to destroy it from the inside out. It's working splendidly.

🇺🇸 2026 MIDTERMS UPDATE Sep. 23 A meaningful shift in the Senate picture today. Cook Political Report says control is now a “true toss-up” and moved Georgia, Kansas and South Carolina toward Democrats. Cook sees a plausible range of D +1 to D +5 Senate seats. Democrats need +4 for control.

🇺🇸 MIDTERMS UPDATE Iowa just got more interesting. New Marist poll: Josh Turek (D) 50%, Ashley Hinson (R) 42% in the open Senate race. Cook already rates IA a Toss Up. That makes Iowa a potentially important GOP→D pickup on the path to Senate control.

Per senior Ukrainian official, in a call with Zelenskyy,Trump emphasised he was very worried about the rising price of diesel and wanted to ensure Russian supplies could reach the global market to provide relief. Here’s a funny part: Russia banned diesel exports on Aug 31.

So the assignment was to block the Strait of Hormuz, drive oil prices up, to increase Russian oil revenues. But now Ukraine thwarted that by attacking oil refineries. So now Ukraine must stop attacking Russian oil refineries?

🇺🇸 2026 Midterms No new race calls or major rating shifts. The House still leans Democratic in current models, while the Senate remains essentially a coin flip at roughly 51–52% D vs. 48–49% R. The only notable movement is a slight Democratic dip in one Senate model.

1️⃣ “At the strong request of the United States Military.” So far, there is no independent confirmation. AP asked the Pentagon. Its response: it had no information beyond Trump’s statement. No public military request or threat assessment has surfaced.

It really is striking how many authoritarian states have ended up in this exact same place, where the leader seizes control of scientific inquiry. Lysenkoism in the Soviet Union, Aryan Physics in the Third Reich, Great Leap Forward (also related to Lysenko) in China.

🇺🇸 2026 MIDTERMS UPDATE The latest models have moved a little further toward Democrats but the Senate is still basically a coin flip. Meanwhile, Kansas suddenly matters, Alaska’s governor race tightened, and TWO House seats remain mysteriously vacant.
