Republicans hoped that President Trump would deliver a final closing argument less than 24 hours before the midterm elections.
Trump opened his remarks with a lengthy report on “the high-quality material” used to renovate the reflecting pool. on.wsj.com/3V2aogf

Are there enough days left in the election for Elon to predict that @jamestalarico will extinguish the sun and hasten the collapse of our solar system?
He is already going to collapse western civilization and abolish democracy… as 1 vote in the U.S. Senate.

Elon Musk hat behauptet, es sei „Game over“ für Amerika, falls die Demokraten gewinnen.
Das Einzige, für das es „Game over“ heißt, sind Milliardäre, die glauben, sie könnten eine Demokratie kaufen – du Verräter.

Republican lawmakers are confronting an enthusiasm gap nationally due to the unpopularity of President Trump, wars, data centers, and high gas and grocery prices.
Nowhere is the fallout more visible than in Texas. wapo.st/4yQYpA4

"Billionaires shouldn't be taxed on stock gains they haven't sold, because it isn't real money until they cash out."
Fine.
Then explain why my county reassessed my home this year and sent me a bigger bill.
I didn't sell it.
I didn't refinance.
I haven't seen a single dollar of that "extra value."
But I'm still handing over more every year because my house is worth more on paper.
Funny how paper gains are "not real" for a billionaire's portfolio, but completely real the moment they show up on a homeowner's tax statement.

Don’t boo, vote!
There’s nothing scarier than not voting. Enjoy Halloween, but make sure you have a plan to vote on November 3rd.

How the hell did this Administration allow a 28-year-old DOGE operative with zero government experience to take over USAID, fire thousands of federal employees, and shut down lifesaving aid programs around the world?
Not to mention that HR had zero record of him working there, he never completed his background paperwork to legally start working for the agency, and he didn’t even have an ID badge, because, officially, he didn’t exist as an employee.
And yet, all on his own, this man was given the go ahead to lock staff out of their own systems and use your taxpayer dollars to gut lifesaving programs with zero transparency.
The Trump Administration owes the American people and Congress answers. Who signed off on this? Why on earth was he given this kind of power?
This wasn’t an accident. Someone handed this man unchecked power, someone knew he wasn’t legally authorized to use it, and someone decided that there was nothing wrong with that.
Well, everything is wrong with that. Congress needs answers about this, and that is NOT optional.

Robert Downey Jr. as Reed Richards and Pedro Pascal as Doctor Doom for Halloween.
We got that email and it was 100% propaganda.
Days before the midterm elections, the head of the Social Security Administration blasted out an email to the public praising President Trump.
Some recipients complained about the email, saying it read like propaganda. wapo.st/3UcOPcB

Elon Musk put $500 million into elections this year, which is 0.05% of his total wealth.
That’s the equivalent of someone making $100k donating $50.
Imagine being able to sway entire elections with $50. If you don’t see the problem, you’re part of it.

Elon has been warning about a Dem “permanent majority” for years. But we don’t have to dream up fanciful scenarios for MAGA priorities - they have a trifecta now and they’ve prioritized:
1. Stupid War with Iran - high gas/diesel prices and we will 100% be worse off no matter when the war ends.
2. Counterproductive and tariffs - raises prices on everything. Tariffing input costs for manufacturing in America is one of the truly dumbest things any President has ever done.
3. Corruption at a level that is hard to comprehend. Pay to play for pardons, bribes to drop DOJ investigations, cash for tariff exemptions… with equity stakes and grants and permits for companies in which Trump and his family/friends have investments
My biggest concern is that if there is a clean sweep by Democrats of the House, Senate and Presidency in 2028, they will:
1. Make DC and Puerto Rico states to gain a strong majority in the Senate.
2. Open the borders and legalize everyone living in America illegally to cement a permanent majority.
3. Increase the size of the Supreme Court to gain an immediate majority.
This would result in America becoming a permanent one-party state and the end of democracy in any meaningful sense of the word.
All that is needed to ensure this doesn’t happen is 51 Republican senators in 2029. That is why you should vote for Republican senators this election. Other reasons are irrelevant compared to this one.
As a Canadian living in California, let me explain something Elon somehow missed. When more people vote for one party, that party wins. That's not one party rule, that's an election. Even we get that, and we can't vote here.

Patrick Stewart was once filmed dancing and singing on the bridge of the USS Enterprise-D in 1991 as a birthday surprise for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Though never intended for public release, a copy of the clip eventually surfaced as a bonus feature on a DVD.
Rest in peace 🙏

Same rules apply as when Dolly Parton passed away...
... The best way to honor Patrick is to BE the best version of yourself. BE picard, BE xavier.... Don't talk about it just do it. For the captain.
