BREAKING: In an epic moment, Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Annie Andrews SLAMS Trump:
“If calling me names will lower our gas prices and our grocery prices and keep our rural hospitals open, he can call me all the names that he wants. But that's not going to get the job done.”

Texas AG Ken Paxton's wife is divorcing him, citing infidelity.
But during one of the most watched races of the midterm elections, little has been reported publicly about the new woman at the center of his life. I sought to learn more about her.

Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz just WENT BERSERK at the Cuban official who tried INTIMIDATING him in the middle of his remarks
"BACK AWAY. THIS ISN'T HAVANA. You're NOT gonna intimidate ME! Do you understand who you're dealing with? This is AMERICA...SIT DOWN."
🔥🔥🔥
"I'm the representative of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA — BACK UP!"
"You can bring as many people as you want, PLEASE SIT DOWN."
The moderator got flustered! The UN is a total crapshow!
I think these Cuban communists just KNOW what is coming. Rubio told Cubans to partner with the CIA, and they're shook now.

A remarkable amount of money flowed into the Texas governor’s race last month, with Gov. Greg Abbott raising $26 million — the highest total he has posted in any reporting period this cycle. Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa raised $17.5 million, her highest for a reporting period this cycle, too. texastribune.org/2026/10/27/…
Texas voter: My hometown is Rockport, Texas. When I wear my Talarico shirt there, I get people stopping me at the stores and telling me they've been Republicans all their life, and they're voting Talarico. They're voting Hinojosa. They're voting Bobby Pulido, because they're tired of the corruption, the lies right now.

Corpus Christi: Little Gov @DanPatrick walks out to Danger Zone at the Trump rally
Michigan voter: Trump made promises that he didn't keep and he had no intention of keeping. We have to realize that the Democrats are going to do more for us than the Republicans. #Michigan
Privatized Medicaid has made health care more expensive, limited access, and raised your taxes. Don’t take my word for it hear from a provider whose clinic was shut down because of this mismanagement. #Iowa
Dollar General is illegally overcharging customers.
We’re taking them to court.
@DollarGeneral
Not only did I sweep the editorial endorsements, now the Houston Chronicle put out a piece on just how dangerous Huffines is for the office.
When I’m comptroller, I’ll follow the law, follow the money, and make sure every Texan knows exactly where their tax dollars are going.
