Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

Ken Paxton wants to represent Texas, but his own campaign just leaked that it's being run out of Washington, D.C. Even his staff is turning on him. More than any Republican in years, this guy deserves to lose.

If someone breaks laws and you choose not to hold them accountable, you have effectively rescinded said laws. That applies to constitutions as well. This is an immutable, non-negotiable fact. Any analysis of what Democrats should do once they regain power that does not acknowledge this is worthless

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Lol just saw a local ad by Angela Paxton (Ken's wife) in which she never says his name and instead says "in an election like this it doesn't matter who the individual players are, it matters that the right team wins," which is like "I know my husband is trash but you have to vote Republican anyway"

Note: The KS polling is a win for Dems no matter what, because (as AP reported yesterday) the GOP is being forced to burn money in a state that hasn't had a Dem senator in nearly a century. A Hamilton win remains unlikely, historically speaking, but: this is WILD. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/03/u...
Polling results from Senate races the latest NY Times/Siena poll. Dems trial by a point in Iowa, but lead in Texas, Alaska, and Ohio. And most striking of all: Dems are tied with the GOP in Kansas.

I think one thing that Republicans should really know better is that like, a lot people in Texas already know Paxton. His corruption case was not a short one. He got impeached by his own party. They also spent a lot of money trying to stop him this spring. People know who he is.
