EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE REPUBLICANS DESIGNED THEIR HEALTHCARE CUTS TO TAKE AFFECT STARTING IN 2027 BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO CREATE A PROBLEM TO BLAME DEMOCRATS FOR! THEY KNEW THEY WOULD LOSE, SO THEY MADE YOUR LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE TO GIVE THEMSELVES A TALKING POINT!

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.
Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️

What’s happening in Texas right now is a disgrace to our country. Republicans got curb-stomped out of office; now they’re trying to call a special session to take away the new government’s powers on their way out. THEY DON’T WANT GINA HINOJOSA TO CUT TAXES FOR THE PEOPLE because their big donors are demanding it go to them instead. Anti-American to their core.

THE LABOR DEPARTMENT JUST DROPPED NEW WAGE DATA AND IT'S BRUTAL.
Corporate profits up 47% since 2020.
Worker wages up 12% in the same period.
Meanwhile groceries up 35%, rent up 40%, utilities up 28%.
Your paycheck grew 12%. Your bills grew 35%.
The math is simple: you're getting poorer every year even when you get a raise.
You can't budget your way out of this. The system is designed so your income can never catch up to your expenses.
That's not an accident. That's policy.

To be fair, Katie Miller [then Katie Waldman] does have experience with election-related theft.
In college, she and another student stole 268 campus newspapers and threw them away after they covered her party’s rival in a student gov’t election.
The election was the next day.
ALT Excerpts from Vanity Fair about Katie Miller, then known as Katie Waldman, during her time at the University of Florida. The article reports that, the day before a 2012 student government election, Waldman and student senate president Jason Tiemeier stole 268 copies of the campus newspaper, The Alligator, and threw them in the garbage. The paper’s front page had featured a prominent endorsement of a candidate from a rival student political party. Another student reported the incident, and campus police became involved. The second excerpt says Waldman denied involvement. Tiemeier later admitted his role and named her as his partner; she maintained that she had told him not to steal the papers.

"There's no shenanigans going on here."
New York Rep. Mike Lawler addresses concerns after voting machines reject ballots in Westchester County due to paper thickness, explaining that ballots already cast will be secured in an emergency orange bag.
After 9 p.m., police will escort the ballots to a central location at the Board of Elections, where they will be counted. They will not be opened at polling sites.

Closing messages from Republicans today:
1. Please, we beg you, give us more time.
2. Look at this reflecting pool photo.
3. We are bad, but Dems are worse!
4. We know you’re struggling, but have you considered transgender athletes?
5. The economy is great. Stop complaining.
6. Everything is Biden’s fault.
7. Please ignore the corruption.
8. The polls are fake unless we’re winning.
Inspiring stuff!

Reminder: this is how Vivek got rich. He bought a worthless drug, had HIS MOM run a bogus trial on the drug, then went on CNBC and lied about it.
The drug never worked. Investors lost all their money. But Vivek had already cashed out.

Tomorrow is the day in Wisconsin where Madison and Milwaukee can’t start counting the tens of thousands of absentee ballots until polls open, because Republicans won’t allow it, and then Republicans will cry when the results are released later in the evening.

So today for Trump’s closing midterm pitch he goes to the reflecting pool and brags all about working on the reflecting pool that 99.99999999999999% of Americans don’t care about and it has no effect on their lives like continued high inflation, high cost of living, high cost of gas/diesel does.
Then he is asked by a reporter if he’s going to bomb Iran after midterms and he says “no” but now it’s being reported that in the past few hours (evening before midterm elections) that we bombed an Iranian missile defense system on Qeshm island in southern Iran near the Strait of Hormuz.
Again a war most Americans do NOT support and has hurt Americans with high gas and diesel prices and a war Trump claims he’s won like 50 times, after promising no more foreign wars during the last election campaign.
Then he post a video promising to give every adult American a $5,000 check only if Republicans win, after failing to deliver the other promised DOGE and tariff checks to the American people.
And in the video he says if Democrats win we will go into a horrible recession because of Democrats, yet he’s been President for the past two years and will STILL BE President for two more years.
It’s all like listening to a really bad home salesman lying and making up ridiculous claims about a piece of crap product he’s selling as he refuses to leave your living room and you really regret letting him in the front door.
Hair and all.
And his campaign team, WH staff, and all Republican candidates desperate to win all stand there, applaud, and tell him, “great job Mr, President”

Why on earth did the Trump Administration pay $495.6 MILLION for a vacant prison in Minnesota when the company selling it had offered to sell the SAME prison to the state for just $75 million the year before?
Are you telling me that American taxpayers may have overpaid by $420 MILLION? Because, to me, it sure looks like the Trump Administration paid more than SIX TIMES the previous asking price.
And by the way, the company that sold the prison, CoreCivic, donated $500,000 to Trump’s inauguration.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions here, but anyone with eyes can see that this is an absurd waste of taxpayer dollars and that something shady is going on here.
"New records obtained by KARE 11 show the company that owned a vacant private prison in Appleton, Minnesota offered to sell it to the state in 2025 for $75 million.
One year later, the Trump administration agreed to use taxpayer funds to buy the same abandoned prison from CoreCivic, Inc., for $495.6 million.
The price difference, $420 million, is more than taxpayers are estimated to have lost in Minnesota’s much-publicized Feeding Our Future fraud scandal." kare11.com/article/news/inve…

A Jan. 6 defendant — pardoned by Trump for threatening to "put a bullet" in Nancy Pelosi's head while driving around D.C. with guns/ammo — has been newly charged with threatening to assassinate D.C.'s federal judges.
