After his latest pro-Putin moves, Nebraska Republican @RepDonBacon wishes Trump the best of luck in getting Republicans to support a $1.5 TRILLION Pentagon spending spree.

He says the Qataris bailed out Jared’s failed real estate venture - to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars - in order to resolve Trump’s blockade of the country. You can read it all here. a.co/d/02U35cBX
“They’re denying something I didn’t report,” he says of the denials re: the account Kushner had access to at the Israeli Central Bank. “Kushner found himself in a real-life Game of Thrones” scenario in the gulf. He also notes that they bailed out 666 5th Ave’s financial issues.

On @1a now: Matthew Cole discussing the stunning revelations about Jared Kushner, his secret foreign bank accounts, and the dirty Gulf money that sloshed through through them. “This is the tip of the iceberg,” he says.

Late play for Mississippi as Hyde-Smith has run a TERRIBLE campaign and faceplanted in the debate. The most recent poll from Change, a Dem firm, had her up only 43-40, with an Indy siphoning 6%. She hasn’t led ANY poll by more than 6%. Trump won it by 21% in ‘24.
BREAKING: Senate Majority PAC is launching a $1.2M Mississippi ad campaign SLAMMING Cindy Hyde-Smith for telling voters to “pick another protein.” She’s serving up nothing good. Vote Scott Colom instead!

In addition to her stunningly poor performance (“pick another protein”), there is really nothing else (other than House races) to turn MS voters out for Hyde-Smith. A bunch of judicial elections and that’s it. Easy to see a lot of Rs staying home while Black vote is turbocharged. You can see the ballot here. sos.ms.gov/content/documents…

Wild that Georgia and NC are the bluest here. And formerly competitive Florida is deep red, with Iowa not too far behind. In fact, Texas is now bluer than Iowa.

Just a total lie. And not even a little one!
President Trump told former New Orleans news anchor @rooprajfox2 during a live interview in Michigan yesterday that everyone in a Louisiana community got $10,000 checks from a neighboring data center. My @WWLTV fact-check finds no such checks exist. wwltv.com/article/news/inves…

It’s entirely in Chinese, which is certainly an innovative way to get people’s attention.
This is a WILD Democratic ad against Cindy Hyde-Smith, essentially calling her a Chinese agent

The “criminal information” the Department of Justice filed on Oct. 5 against former FBI Director James Comey is legally flawed. The problem is not just that two sets of prosecutors in the Trump 1.0 Justice Department investigated this matter and declined to bring charges. The more immediate problem is that the Trump 2.0 Justice Department waited too long to bring the case. execfunctions.org/p/dojs-thi…

Republican pollster
From Matt Towery “As we look at early voting it is becoming clear that a certain portion of the GOP base is not planning on voting. The GOP message in terms of paid ads has failed to explain why action on Iran was needed and what the consequences of a nuclear Iran would be. It is the “elephant in the room” that must be addressed big time as the closing message. We have too many polls in too many states with Democrats leading and the GOP is running out of time.”

Wow!!!
Former TX Chief Justice and long Republican Thomas Phillips explains why he’s breaking party lines to back Democrat James Talarico for U.S. Senate over Ken Paxton, calling Talarico a candidate “who wants to be representative of all Texans.”

This.
Morning Joe gets emotional over RFK Jr.'s racist anti-Arab remarks Bobby Kennedy was the reason I got involved in politics and I told Jr. that. He understood that we were stronger as were more diverse. It's hard to even imagine how ashamed he would be of his son for denigrating over a billion people because of their faith. Specifically when Bobby Kennedy talked about how America had to move to becoming a country that moved beyond prejudices based on faith and race. This is what RFK Jr. did when he campaigned with Mike Rogers, another guy that I've known, liked, respected—who's running an abhorrent, racist, bigoted campaign.
