Are the Blue Wave Polls Too Good to Be True?
If Democrats don’t win by as much as the polls suggest, many liberals will be disappointed and the media will downplay the anti-Trump wave.

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.

Trump and his allies have spent most of the past decade doing the administrative equivalent of ripping bundles of wiring out of the walls. When everything's trundling along, you don't necessarily notice the missing wiring. When something goes very wrong, suddenly the damage becomes apparent.

Spectacular detail in this story www.nytimes.com/2026/10/05/w...
The governor of the neighboring Buryatia region, Aleksei Tsydenov, was the first to officially raise the prospect of plague. He said on Friday that "the woman who died of plague in the Irkutsk region" had not visited Buryatia. His post on a state-linked messaging app was later updated to read "possibly died of plague."
The following day, the authorities in Baikalsk, a town about 50 miles from the city of Irkutsk, cited "unofficial
information" about "a case of plague" in a statement advising against travel to Shelekhov. That statement, on Telegram, was later deleted
