Fox host Rachel Campos-Duffy said live on air that this weekend that Ukraine has killed 1 million Russian children during the war and she is still doing her shows with not a word from Fox about it. That’s what Fox is.

GOP Rep. Tom Kean disappeared for 4 months & missed dozens of votes then finally surfaced, read a 5 minute speech saying he was at a mental health facility, refused to take questions from the press, and MAGA supports his reelection. But the Talarico hoax is career ending.

Yes, Trump loves bailouts.
These are verifiable facts:

July 1987, Moscow, USSR: Trump, 41 years old, flies to Moscow at the invitation of Soviet ambassador to the US, Yuri Dubinin.

Upon returning from Moscow, the bankrupt Trump suddenly receives loans from 16 banks without negotiation.

Upon his return to the U.S., the then-apolitical Trump began loudly criticizing NATO, taking out full-page ads in the Washington Post on September 2, 1987.

This may not be a good time to bring this up but Trump once gave an address to 1500 conservative donors in front of a fake presidential seal containing the eagle from the Russian seal and a set of golf clubs.

Turns out that everything Trump is doing in the lead up to the midterms to try to boost Republican turnout is only producing the opposite effect while also boosting Democratic and independent turnout of people enraged at what he’s doing and saying.

Graydon Carter’s memoir says he wrote an unflattering piece about how vulgar Trump is for GQ. Thin-skinned Donald got employees to buy all the copies. Si Newhouse, noting the brisk sales, recommend that Random House publish “The Art of the Deal,” which led to “The Apprentice.” Hence this presidency.

18% of voters pick 52 senators. Democrats won 7 of the last 9 presidential popular votes yet hold just 3 SCOTUS seats. Republicans have a tilted House map and a huge cash advantage, and they STILL want to suppress votes. Imagine having the casino rigged and being afraid to deal the cards.

Donald Trump's tariffs and war of choice in Iran are costing Illinois farmers their livelihoods. Today, I'm signing an Executive Order and issuing a state disaster declaration to provide emergency support, protections, and real relief from skyrocketing diesel prices.
Governor JB Pritzker issued a state disaster proclamation and signed Executive Order 2026-08 to provide relief on diesel fuel costs for the agriculture industry during the fall harvest season as part of his continued efforts to support Illinois farmers.

The executive order directs the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) and the Illinois State Police (ISP) to allow on-road use of dyed diesel typically used for agricultural purposes. The Executive Order also directs state agencies to consider additional protections for farmers and gives the state greater flexibility to respond to continued disruptions in fuel markets and the agricultural economy.Governor JB Pritzker issued a state disaster proclamation and signed Executive Order 2026-08 to provide relief on diesel fuel costs for the agriculture industry during the fall harvest season as part of his continued efforts to support Illinois farmers.
