BREAKING: The US attacked Iran's Qeshm Island, just hours before the midterms, US officials confirm to WSJ.
It was part of a series of limited strikes the US has secretly carried out in recent weeks without publicly announcing them.
The US has been purposefully keeping the new campaign quiet so as not to signal any intention of resuming major combat operations, one US official said.

Preload the code in the Lyft app and use it on a ride to your polling place until 11:59 pm local time.

This isโฆ insane:
โMusk has spent $474 million to help Trump and the GOP win the midtermsโฆroughly 0.05% of his net worth.โ
โIf you compare his worth to the median Americanโs, Muskโs political spending this election cycle is equivalent to $116.โ

NEW: The Education Dept's internal watchdog will soon be an employee who was, until recently, a middle school principal who never worked directly in the federal government.
Trump's permanent nominee for the role is a golf coach at the principal's school.

He has over 40+ credible accusations. He's never sued any of them, and he is the most sue-happy, litigious mother fucker who has ever walked the face of planet earth.
Trump fucked kids. He absolutely, unequivocally, fucked little children.

2/ Measles in pregnancy can cause pneumonia, maternal death, miscarriage, stillbirth and premature birth, and most US doctors have little experience with it. No one tracks cases nationally; if Pennsylvania's rate holds, more than 200 pregnant American women have had measles this year.

I donโt need the testimony of a victim. When you write a birthday card to a famous pedophile with a young girl doodle and talk about โwonderful secretsโ and how โenigmas (gamines) never ageโ - a card now adjudicated authentic - itโs a confession.
Trump is a pedophile.

Do you remember the name โJane Doeโ was used in the Epstein Files to protect the victim - Dr. Larissa Portnoff (now in her 30s) has broken her anonymity because of Trumpโs death threats and intimidation against her and her friends.

Nobody knows what Trump will do regarding striking Iran or making a deal. But the fact that people are openly discussing strikes as dependent upon the performance of Ds or Rs in the election is telling. Iran is either a threat or it isn't, irrespective of U.S. domestic politics.

The middle-percentile household income is around $78,000 a year.
The average starter home in the US requires an income of about $80,000. The typical home requires $120,000. Over half the country can't afford to buy a home.
The median family spends $7,000 on health insurance premiums, and that's with employer-sponsored care, where the employer covers part of the cost. Millions are losing their coverage because they can't afford it.
Getting a degree brings a lifetime of debt. Social Security will use up its surplus in a few years, causing benefits to decrease dramatically. Average daily driving costs $1,800 a year on gas alone with today's prices. Groceries are expensive. Good jobs are hard to find.
These are the core issues facing America today, and we need a Congress that will actually address them.

"She came forward because...the harassment escalated during his second term, because she says her sealed file was accessed and her address located, and because she concluded that the only thing left that could protect her was being too public to disappear."

The US National Debt has now increased by over $1.1 trillion since July 1st.
The Federal Government is borrowing from our future to spend money like drunken sailors today.
Everything they said about "cutting spending" and "balancing the budget" was a lie.

This report was the straw that broke the camel's back for me
Imagine being a grad student in public finance, only to learn your church was sitting on $100 billion in tax-exempt money and hiding it from regulators
I despise religious people who hoard money while the poor suffer
