âMy Name Is Abdulâ: El-Sayed Confronts Trumpâs Racist, Anti-Muslim Attacks Head-On in New Ad
In his latest campaign ad released late Monday, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic US Senate candidate in Michigan, struck a resilient and matter-of-fact tone that suggested the recent racist attacks on him, his Arabic name, and his Muslim faith are no secretâbut he has no plans to try to hide his identity to appease Republicans and Democrats who have claimed heâs an âextremistâ or accused him of terrorist ties.
Trump gives âwarriorâ Netanyahu âcomplete and total endorsementâ for reelection
âBibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition,â writes Trump, âincluding that coming from even Israel, itself.â
Trump says Netanyahu has âendured and, in fact, he has thrived!â
âI have watched Bibi under the most trying of times,â writes Trump. âNormal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure â But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today. This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much.â
Trumpâs MAGA Pals Push Sinister Martial Law Plot
Tina Peters, a prominent MAGA election activist, met with Trump in October. She was convicted in 2024 of crimes tied to a breach of election equipment, then freed this year after Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, commuted her sentence. Peters and her attorney, Peter Ticktin, also visited Trump at the White House in late June.
Ticktin, who is Trumpâs childhood friend, was among the speakers on a Sept. 30 video call for MAGA election activists streamed on Rumble. They warned of widespread election security breaches they believe will hit in November, and they urgently pushed for remedies.
The Supporters Urging Trump to Declare Martial Law for the Midterms
(September 23, 2026)
The way Ticktin sees it, there are three possible outcomes this fall. The firstâa smooth electionâwonât happen in his view because, he claims without evidence, Democrats already cheated in the primaries. The second is that Trump takes action before the election to prevent cheating. The last option is that Trump tries to declare martial law on or around November 3. âEither martial law, or step aside,â he told us about Trumpâs choices in the last scenario. When we asked about the prospect of riots if Trump tries to overturn the election results, Ticktin said he was not concerned. âBelieve me, our armed forces are a lot bigger than they are,â he said.
Gas Prices and the 2026 Midterms
(March 26, 2026)
Few economic indicators hit voters as fast or as visibly as the price of gasoline. Academic research stretching back decades confirms what political operatives have long understood intuitively: when gas prices rise sharply, presidential approval falls, and when approval falls heading into a midterm, the presidentâs party loses seats. That chain is being tested dramatically right now.
Gas Prices Could Cost Republicans the Midterms
(September 14, 2026)
If Democrats manage to take back the House and Senate in November despite an inhospitable electoral map, the Trump effect on gas prices may well be the reason.
Republicans put spotlight on Abdul El-Sayed. He welcomes the fight
The exchanges captured two sides of a candidate who is the central figure in one of the nationâs most consequential Senate races. El-Sayed would be the countryâs first Muslim senator, and heâs crisscrossing the state to counter a Republican effort, fueled by tens of millions of dollars, to portray him as a dangerous radical. But he has also embraced his confrontational side by mocking and taunting Trump and Rogers.
âIf they want to make me the main character in the midterms, Iâm not shying away from it,â El-Sayed said in an interview. âRun against me. See how well that works out for you.â
âI Can Call Him Whatever the Hell I Wantâ: Trump Misnames Michigan Senate Candidate Abdul El-Sayed
During a rally in Tennessee on Saturday, President Trump repeatedly misnamed Michiganâs Democratic Senate candidate Abdul ElâSayed as âMohammed,â calling him a âjihadist.â
President Donald Trump: âLike Mohammed El-Sayed â I call him Mohammed. Somebody said, ‚His name isn‘t Mohammed; itâs Abdul.â I said, ‚To me, it‘s Mohammed.â Iâm the president. I can call him whatever the hell I want. To me, heâs Mohammed, and heâs a radical jihadist.â
JOINT DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON THE RAID ON ILHAN OMARâS HOME
(October 12, 2026)
Today, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Whip Katherine Clark and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar issued the following statement:
The Trump administrationâs raid on Congresswoman Ilhan Omarâs home is deeply disturbing and raises serious questions about the continued corrupt weaponization of the federal government against Donald Trumpâs adversaries.
For years, Donald Trump and far-right extremists have relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Omar with vile personal attacks and baseless accusations. Now, less than 30 days until the midterm election, his violent mass deportation machine has descended upon the home of a duly elected Member of Congress and her family.
The American people deserve transparency, and we will deliver full accountability for the rogue abuse of power from the Department of Homeland Security and Department of Justice.
Democrat rips âinsanely corruptâ raid on Omarâs home
Rep. Don Beyer (D-Va.) slammed the federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omarâs (D-Minn.) home as âinsanely corruptâ in a post on social media Monday.
âAs [President] Trumpâs popularity craters amid rising prices and his deeply unpopular war, everything he does is an attempt to distract his remaining followers,â Beyer wrote in a post on the social platform X.
âBut raiding the home of a member of the opposing party right before the election â and tipping off FoxNews in advance so they are on hand to publicize it â is insanely corrupt even for Donald Trump,â he added.
Office of Rep. Ilhan Omar Statement on DHS Raid
The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement following the DHS raid on her home.
âThis raid by Trumpâs DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.â
Trump rally crowd chants ‚deport‘ as president rips Ilhan Omar after federal raid
Two sources close to the investigation told Fox News Digital the search of Omar‘s home stemmed from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman‘s immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father.

It comes as the president faces growing pressure to address concerns over mounting energy costs due to global fuel shortages during the U.S.âs military operations against Iran and the Russia-Ukraine war.
The ICC strongly rejects US sanctions against the institution
This measure targets an independent judicial institution, created by treaty and entrusted by 125 States Parties with investigating and prosecuting genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. It is an attempt to obstruct the course of justice and to prevent the Court from doing what it was created to do. It is an assault on the rule of law and on the very foundations of the international legal order which strikes at the simple principle that no one stands above the law.
The designation is aimed at disrupting the Courtâs operations and at intimidating those who work for or cooperate with the Court. The Court, for its part, will not be deterred. âThe Court will continue to fully discharge its mandate, with independence and impartiality, acting only on the basis of the law and the evidence, for the sake of the countless victims of grave crimesâ said ICC President Tomoko Akane.
»Schurkengericht«: US-Regierung verhÀngt weitreichende Sanktionen gegen Strafgerichtshof
Wir werden Transaktionen mit diesem Schurkengericht verbieten, seine Ressourcen beschneiden und seine Arbeit lahmlegen«, hieĂ es weiter.

Zudem ermittelte der IStGH zu mutmaĂlichen Kriegsverbrechen von US-Soldaten in Afghanistan, stellte das Vorhaben jedoch nach eigenen Angaben inzwischen zurĂŒck.
âAbolish ICE,â Say Potential 2028 Candidates AOC and Khanna After Latest Shooting in NYC
âICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency,â said Ocasio-Cortez, who has been named as a potential 2028 presidential candidate or a contender for US Senate in New York, where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is up for reelection in 2028.
âIt does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America,â said Ocasio-Cortez. âAbolish ICE.â
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), another potential candidate for president in 2028, joined the congresswoman in calling for ICE to be abolishedâa demand once dismissed as a fringe viewpoint, but now shared by about half the country, including 77% of Democratic voters and 52% of independents.
With âBlood-Soaked War Criminalâ Set to Land in Mamdaniâs NYC, Calls Grow to Arrest Netanyahu
In July, a YouGov poll found that 49% of Americans believed the US government should arrest Netanyahu under the warrant, 27% said it should not, and 23% were unsure.
President Donald Trump stated earlier this summer that Netanyahu âwill not be arrested, in any way, shape, or formâ while visiting the US. His administrationâs position, as stated in a February 2025 executive order, is that Netanyahu canât be arrested. The ICC, it says, âhas no jurisdiction over the United States or Israelâ because, unlike most other nations, neither is a party to the Rome Statute, which created the court.
Trumpâs approval plunges into the 20s, and Republicans give up

Over 150 countries reject US decision to bar Palestinian delegation from upcoming UN General Assembly
On Thursday, 152 countries voted in favour of a resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly, rejecting the US‘s decision to prevent the Palestinian delegation from participating in the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York City.

U.S. State Department Must Reverse Decision to Ban Palestine Delegation from Attending UNGA Session in New York
âThe decision by the U.S. State Department to deny visas to a high-level delegation of the State of Palestine to attend the 81st session of the UN General Assembly must be reversed. The State Departmentâs statement makes it obvious: this decision is designed to punish the State of Palestine for pursuing international justice and accountability at international institutions, including through the International Criminal Court (ICC) and International Court of Justice (ICJ). This measure is part of a relentless campaign of reprisals against the very notion of international justice.
US blocks Palestinians‘ Abbas from attending UN meeting, for second year in a row
The U.S. has denied Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas an entry âvisa to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York next week, extending a ban in place since last year, a Palestinian official familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Without naming specific officials, the State Department said on Wednesday it âwould extend visa sanctions against Palestinian officials over actions they took to „internationalize the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,“ including âpursuing cases against Israel at international tribunals.
A fateful turning point for humanity and AI could redefine American politics
If a terrorist threat led subject experts to warn of a near-term existential menace to humanity, the weight of the US government would mobilize in an immediate and limitless effort to save the day.
Yet a remarkable sequence of warnings by leaders of artificial intelligence firms that their creation may soon outpace humansâ capacity to control it has so far been met with a shrug by Republicans who run Washington.

You Could Be Next: Trumpâs Gestapo Tactics Are Getting Worse
You might even be murdered, without a trial finding you guilty of anything. In addition to Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last January, ICE agents have murdered two others just this summer.
One was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE in Houston on July 7, 2026. Salgado Araujo had lived in the US for decades. ICE agents pursued him in unmarked cars and shot him while he was driving a work crew to a job site. The Department of Homeland Security claims Salgado Araujo tried to use his vehicle as a weapon against an officer, but witnesses dispute this account.
The other was Johan Sebastian DurĂĄn Guerrero, murdered by ICE on July 13, 2026, in Biddeford, Maine. DurĂĄn Guerrero was a 25-year-old immigrant from Colombia. Agents pursued him while he was driving to work. The Department of Homeland Security claims its agent feared for public safety as DurĂĄn Guerrero tried to drive away, but elected officials and family members dispute this account, noting that DurĂĄn Guerrero was not an intended target of the immigration operation.
None of these murders has been fully investigated.
