Per Drop Site (and Grok), the staffer who ran the presser for Rogers and Stevens today “is a registered foreign agent for the state of Israel—one of two foreign agents working on the Rogers campaign”
She’s a subcontractor for Clocktower X, run by former Trump campaign chief Brad Parscale… which has registered as a foreign agent for Israel, taking in millions to push their agenda.
The rest of the media will ignore this.

🚨 BREAKING: Mike Rogers confirmed in a new interview that he would vote for a national abortion ban:
"I've been very open about that time I was in Congress, having a 100% pro-life rating... This is the only way that I know how to be when I go back to the United States Senate."

Haley Stevens can vote for whoever she wants, but her unhinged last couple of days means her whole primary campaign was a lie. In July, she called @MikeRogersForMI a:
- "carpetbagger millionaire"
- "a super-rich Florida man"
- "a fake"
- And that Trump is "who he answers to".

Respectfully, I am left completely nauseous by respected reporters who continue to say this. The fact that they keep defending themselves means they understand the criticisms are legitimate.
Readers have never expected the media to work as a Democratic Party election arm (though it is no longer considered scandal that Fox News often operates in this capacity). Readers are correct to see double standards in the way similar actions are covered and treated as scandal by major news outlets. We also see the way this specific reporting has enabled Republicans to engage in election integrity conspiracies days before an election. I am not a journalist but it should be easy to see how another editor might not have published this.
I also find it interesting what reporters think is so newsworthy it must be reported immediately as an October surprise vs what they choose to save for tell all books or other paid work.

NYT again tries to explain to its aggrieved readers what a newspaper is and what it is supposed to do. Hint: Its job isn't to get Democrats elected, even in the Trump era nytimes.com/2026/10/31/insid…

Tell that to Russian opposition leaders Boris Nemtsov or Alexey Navalny.
Oh you can’t, because Putins regime killed them.
Your claim is not reality. It’s disgustingly flawed, not supported by any data.
Russia is a freer and more democratic country under Putin than Ukraine is under Zelensky.
It’s just a reality we need to accept.
We’ve been scammed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Objective metrics contradict the claim: Ukraine ranks substantially higher than Russia in freedom and democracy.

Any GOOD lawyer knows never ask a question you don't already know the answer to.
Ken Paxton asks his crowd to tell friends the difference between him and James Talarico.
"PAXTON, YOU TAKE BRIBES!"
Go vote.

Surprise, surprise: Trump, who routinely pardons fraudsters and presides over the most corrupt administration ever, has no interest in actually addressing waste, fraud, and abuse.
Apparently, fraud is only a problem when they can scapegoat Somali Minnesotans.
3 days to vote and put a check on Trump’s corruption.

President Trump slams his former personal attorney and DOJ official Alina Habba in response to news that she was under a four-year contract paying her $10 million annually.
And the White House posted the video.
He says her deal is “unacceptable” and that he told the owners of the company not to pay her.
The contract was with Concord Partners, a company tied to a Venezuelan family whose patriarch, Julio Herrera Velutini, received a pardon from President Trump.
The New York Times first reported on the more than $50 million deal and Trump’s anger over it.
When the Times first reported on the deal, Habba told them her arrangement had been vetted and approved by the DOJ.
A cardinal sin in Trump’s world is for someone to use his name or their association with him to enrich themselves without his prior knowledge or blessing.
The Times reported that Trump demanded she donate a portion of her compensation to his presidential library — in this clip Trump denies that and starts to suggest, before pulling back, that the family paying her should donate those funds to his library.
This all comes at a time when voters have increasingly indicated that corruption is an issue for them in this election.

I don’t mean to imply the media didn’t cover previous incidents like this but when Republicans did ballot stacking in Alaska in 2024 or when Republicans successfully unseated a Dem incumbent in Florida by running a ghost candidate with the same last name in 2020 @cnn absolutely did not go around treating it like an October surprise and chasing voters to ask if that activity would change their votes.
I’ll remind everyone that Republicans engaged in rampant gerrymandering this cycle, even going so far as to defy their own state constitutions (Florida, Missouri) or voter referendums (Utah) to do so and the whole issue has now disappeared from political news discourse.
I need for journalists to understand people who consume their reporting are not idiots and see these double standards. @thelauracoates

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Fox News is facing questions over a supposedly “bipartisan voter panel” featured on Lara Trump’s show, after an investigation identified FOUR of its five participants as previous attendees of Mike Rogers campaign events.
One even runs a multimillion-dollar super PAC backing Rogers in Michigan’s Senate race.
Viewers were presented with what appeared to be ordinary voters offering independent political opinions, without a clear accounting of their campaign connections.

Ron White: Eight of Ken Paxton’s assistants turned him into the FBI for fraud... They sued and won $6 million. Guess who paid that $6 million? You and me paid the $6 million for his bribery. His own party impeached him. He’s a criminal.
Rogan: They're surprised that Talarico is ahead of him in the polls.
White: I’m not. I think that people are sick of what's going on right now in Texas. They've been in control for 30 years. What have they given us? Let somebody else drive.

Trump/Republicans phased in two economic bombs for us after the midterms
1. Health insurance premiums will be quadrupling
2. Students loan payment will also quadruple

Indeed. AES’s statement was measured, and mild. His alternative would have been simply to have ignored Haley, and an argument could have been made that that's what he should have done. But the fact is, Haley is engaging in deliberate, bad-faith, and, frankly, unbalanced, sabotage. AES said what he had to say. *Now* he can, and should, ignore her.
Counter-point:
El-Sayed's statement was not impulsive or about enjoying a fight. It was part of a coordinated response that included local and national politicians, progressive groups and the UAW to nip in the bud what was seen as a coup attempt by Stevens to get Mike Rogers over the finish line.
This was never about an ad.

This is exactly what happened.
Donald Trump also then made up the racist birther conspiracy about Obama to gain popularity when he saw the opportunity.

Trump calling reporters fat or waxing lyrical about Jon Husted’s butt would be more tolerable for people if the economy was doing well, but it just isn’t. Americans have less money in their pockets because of Trump’s decisions and they’re fed up.
The only Republican who seems to be living in reality is Ted Cruz who’s out there talking about the fact that the GOP could lose Texas and that Kansas is a tie.

Explain to me the AIPAC/Mr. Stevens endgame here? If Rogers wins and is god forbid the 49/50th vote for ICE camps & who knows what else they will be blamed! It will reduce their power in the Dem party even more. If Abdul wins anyway (which I expect) then they reveal themselves to be whining losers w no influence. It’s just one big temper tantrum that is serving to undermine their stated goals. Crazy.

The degree of raging, brazen Islamophobia in the Michigan Senate campaign outstrips any anti-Semitism there by orders of magnitude. People can try to both-sides this—and, in particular, they may try to pretend otherwise by magnifying the anti-Semitism they see in the guise of opposing it—but the evidence is clear, and deeply disturbing.
If you support Rogers, you’re supporting rabid bigotry—not just in Michigan, but in the White House.
