Third Way surveyed 2,000 registered voters. We asked about the most important issue ahead of the midterm election. To no one's surprise: it's still the economy, stupid.

Voters do not want Democrats to support the DSA's platform. In a Sept. survey, respondents were far less likely to vote for a Democrat who calls themselves a socialist, supports defunding the police, or champions prison abolition

Sen. Slotkin shouldn't be constantly in the crosshairs—literally—for speaking up against a corrupt administration and defending the rule of law. The strategy of intimidation is real and must be called out.

Unearthed audio reveals Mike Rogers opposed releasing the unredacted Epstein files because he wanted to "protect" people: "You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him. The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation or family"

Unearthed audio: Mike Rogers brushing off concerns about cutting Social Security "Anytime you get the screwdriver in there and adjust it a little bit, the other team goes, 'Oh my God, you're trying to kill seniors. You don't care about people.'"

Spare me the pearl-clutching — especially from Republican Members of Congress and online MAGA grifters who have cheered President Trump's weaponization of the government against those he doesn’t like, as recently as last week. This is a subject I know something about: Less than a year ago, Trump directed the DOJ and FBI to investigate me, and then tried to criminally indict me for a 90 second video, exercising basic free speech. The same free speech you’re exercising now, lying about what I said in this clip. If not for an anonymous group of grand jury members standing up for America's laws, I’d be criminally indicted for sedition. President Trump has turned the government against people, with raucous support from you and virtually all D.C. Republicans. So spare us the manufactured outrage. America must be a place where the rule of law still matters. Those laws should apply to everyone equally. If you have aided in the corrupt use of U.S. taxpayer dollars to benefit the President or his family, or you have violated the law in order to carry out guidance from the President, you should be held accountable. And given how rampant that corruption appears to the average American, people looking to work for his Administration should realize that while the Supreme Court has granted the President immunity, it has not done the same for those who do illegal things at his behest.

Third Way Statement on the Trump Administration’s Investigation of Rep. Ilhan Omar: “President Donald Trump’s politically motivated investigation and raid of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar’s home is beyond the pale and is another blaring siren warning of the danger his vendettas pose to our democracy. “Let’s be clear, with inflation spiraling out of control, America bogged down in a forever war of choice, and a new scandal of grifting and double-dealing every day, President Trump needed to do something to divert attention. So now it’s back to a familiar ploy: attacking his political opponents with the awesome powers of the state. “Enough. He was wrong to target the six Members of Congress who properly told military members they could refuse unlawful orders. He illegally tried to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. And he has pointed federal officials at many others who disagree with him. “Third Way differs greatly with Rep. Omar on a range of policy and political questions. In America, those debates are waged with persuasion, not prosecution. Instead, this president has turned the Justice Department and the whole of government into an instrument of personal vengeance. “The federal government belongs to the American people, not Donald Trump. Its immense powers exist to uphold the law, not to settle political scores. These attacks on Rep. Omar and her colleagues must end.” thirdway.org/press/third-way…

Who is Andy Biggs? The Arizona Congressman has a number of ties to white supremacists and antisemitic movements. Biggs labeled Judaism a “death cult” and called for a “final solution” that involves the deportation of American Jews. In 2023, Biggs co-sponsored a Proud Boys rally. This November, he’s up for re-election.

A lifetime appointment is far too long. Congress should put term limits on the Supreme Court.

Meet Ken Paxton, the Republican nominee for Senate in Texas. Paxton has been indicted for securities fraud and investigated by the FBI for bribery. Even worse, he offered a one-day jail sentence to a convicted pedophile. Paxton’s corruption is so blatant that even Texas Republicans voted to impeach him.
