Ramaswamy Takes Full Credit for Most âDisgusting, Pathetic Ad Ever Created in the History of Political Adsâ
Vivek Ramaswamy, the Republican Partyâs gubernatorial nominee in Ohio, confirmed on Wednesday that his campaign was behind a widely condemned attack ad featuring Democratic opponent Amy Actonâs estranged biological mother, sparking fresh outrage less than two weeks before Election Day in the critical battleground state.
The 2026 midterms are less than 2 weeks away. Which party has a better chance of winning? Here‘s what the latest polls say.
President Trump‘s approval rating is going down. Democrats‘ lead on the generic ballot is going up. Could this be a „wave“ election?
Yair Golan accuses Netanyahu of plotting fresh Iran strikes to serve âpolitical and personal considerationsâ
Yair Golan, the leader of the Democrats in Israel, has condemned Prime Minister Netanyahu following allegations that the premier planned fresh strikes against Iran just weeks before the upcoming Knesset elections.
Netanyahu ‚completely lacks legitimacy‘ to launch new war ahead of elections: Opposition leader Golan
His remarks came after The Financial Times reported that US President Donald Trump had rejected Netanyahu‘s plan to strike infrastructure and nuclear facilities in Iran, a military campaign that was reportedly set to begin on Oct. 10.
Trump opposes any military escalation ahead of the Nov. 3 midterm congressional elections in the US, fearing negative repercussions for the Republican Party‘s electoral prospects, according to the report.
Golan, also a former deputy chief of staff of the Israeli army, said in a post on US social media platform X: „Netanyahu is a sick and weak leader clinging to power by force, willing to put Israel‘s security at risk to save himself.“
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.
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.
Trumps Drohung: HĂ€nde hoch, Diesel her!
(October 1, 2026)
Alles nur, weil Trump seine Umfragewerte mit einem kurzen MilitĂ€r-Quickie im Iran pushen wollte. Das jedoch löste eine destruktive Kettenreaktion sondergleichen aus, wie ein Elefant, nein, eine Atombombe im Porzellanladen. Diese Ăra wird in ein paar Jahren zumindest gute Serien auf Netflix oder HBO erzeugen, und man wird sich fragen, wie zum Teufel ein Mensch wie Trump je an die Macht kommen konnte.
Trump Signs Order Exempting Russia From Sanctions Law
President Trump signed an executive order on Friday night exempting Russia from a new sanctions measure that Congress passed last month, offering another economic lifeline to Russian President Vladimir V. Putin as the United States turns to Russia for help in lowering gas prices.
Trump puts new Russia sanctions that he recently signed into law on hold, citing national interest
Trumpâs unexpected decision comes a week after he stunningly said the U.S. had agreed to purchase diesel from Russia to try to bring down global energy prices, despite that potentially hurting Ukraine in its war with Russia.
An AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll published Oct. 1 found that Americans disapprove of the presidentâs handling of the Iran war and blame him for higher prices.
Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House, sources say
The move to temporarily restrict the vital communications system came as President Donald Trump has pressured Kyiv to stop its attacks on Russian refineries, which he has blamed for the âsoaring energy prices that are denting his Republican Party‘s prospects in the November midterm elections.
But experts say that surge in energy costs is mainly the result of the US-Israeli war with Iran, which brought Iranian âattacks on energy facilities and has largely shut the vital Strait of Hormuz.
Report: Netanyahu pressed Trump to renew Iran fighting before election; PMO denies
The US officials tell the network they came away with the impression that Netanyahu wanted to launch an attack before the elections, with Netanyahu citing concerning steps by Iran in the nuclear arena.
Even though Trump has said publicly that he will not resume attacks on Iran before the US midterms, the IDF and CENTCOM are both at a high state of readiness and are completing preparations in case Trump changes his mind, the report quotes unnamed sources saying.
AI Under Control
Bring the World Along
âą International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.
âą No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.
Safeguards Everyone Can Count On
âą Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.
âą Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.
âą Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.
âą Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.
âą Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

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

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.
