NEW: Republicans' super PAC cash advantage has masked a more challenging problem — a shrinking online donor base that's still focused around Trump
-The GOP has fewer donors this cycle compared to the last midterm
-22% of WinRed donors gave to Trump but no other Republicans

🚨The 2025-2026 political cycle just became the most expensive cycle ever!
With 8 days to go, it's seen $11.21B in total ad spending and reservations.
The 2023-2024 cycle, complete with its $3.2B Presidential race, saw $11.20B.

Someone made a site that tracks what people are talking about at public city council meetings across the US.
The only thing discussed more than data centers?
Pickleball courts.

Nancy Pelosi, who is regularly hammered for her perceived insider trading, has made 213 total trades since 2014. Trump exceeded that number in a single day, which just happened to precede his own tariffs announcement. My latest on the mind boggling self-enrichment:

Trump has made more stock trades in his second term than all 535 members of Congress combined.

A network of 37 sites with names like Wolverine State Report and Kalamazoo Beacon appeared overnight in September. Filled with Q&As seeding positive messages about state and local candidates, the sites began to be cited in answers by Google and ChatGPT. theatlantic.com/technology/2…

Consider this a story in global affairs.
Early this year, there was an effort afoot to find Secretary Hegseth an iconic globe for his office suite.
Historians could make the move. But his team did not appear to want to wait.

SCOOP: The State Dept has started asking career diplomats up for promotion if they voted for Trump in 16, 20, 24.
Federal law prohibits politically based hiring for career staff.
State tells @washingtonsun it's screening for "fidelity" and execution of the president's vision👇

Memo to the Trump administration: Stop buying companies.
A government $40 trillion in debt should be SELLING assets, not buying ownership stakes in 36 companies.
We thought government control of the means of production was what we were fighting against.

Trump’s pledge to Drain the Swamp in 2016 resonated with voters who hoped the successful outsider would fulfill his promise. The daily flood of new grift and corruption stories from this Administration is a millstone around the necks of midterm candidates
The Republican Party is becoming the party of corruption and immorality, with self-dealing, philandering, and perversion omnipresent among the party’s Senate candidates and in the Trump administration. washingtonexaminer.com/in_fo…

Public service is hard, but clearly these guys have the chops for it.

This image, viewed over 6 million times and retweeted over 63,000 times, claims to show an elderly couple stripped down and robbed by rioters in France.
The image is AI-generated, and was created with Google AI, as detected by SynthID watermarks in the image.
Pour moi, c'est l'image la plus horrible de ce 17 octobre:
Un couple d'octogénaire dépouillé de tout, en pleine rue, laissé à moitié nu.
Comme si les Rolex, les Vuiton, les Hermès, les Dior, les Sephora pillés n'étaient pas suffisants pour la revente.
L'image qui devrait être un signal d'alarme pour tout l'occident.
L'image d'un pseudo président qui a perdu le contrôle. Qui a totalement échoué envers son peuple.
L'image d'une gauche radicale qui a sacrifié votre propre identité pour faire de votre pays une zone de guerre, aux arrières-plans culturels qui n'ont rien à voir avec les vôtres.
Cette image est effrayante!

What distinguishes the 1% from the merely affluent? How about having a third child.
New post on a topic I've long been fascinated by (the economics and financing of having a third kid) where I finally felt bold enough to go into the latest SCF microdata to get a good answer. /1

BTW, the national average price of diesel hit an all-time high just last month, and the Iran conflict reportedly costs the average American household $2,000.

On Tuesday, a federal judge again blocked the Trump administration from shutting CNN, MS NOW, and Politico out of the White House.
The decision puts an end to a “blatantly unconstitutional” ban, said @rcfp President Bruce D. Brown. Our full statement: bit.ly/3WqXd8P

Kelly ruled on due process grounds (again and unsurprising), but he also found Trump's ban violated the First Amendment because it is both retaliation and viewpoint discrimination.
Kelly granted this PI on all three claims brought by the news organizations. This ruling is a major win for MS NOW, CNN, and Politico.

An incredible fact about Roger Marshall's campaign: According to his most recent FEC reports, he doesn't have any paid staff.
His chief of staff says that's no longer the case, but the campaign refused to share details about anyone getting paid.
How are they accomplishing this feat? Read the story:
