NEW: Experts roundly panned DOJ's Alaska lawsuit as frivolous, viewing it more as an effort to sow distrust and chaos at the president's behest.
One noted it seems to cut against DOJ's own guidance about the limits of its role in election processes. politico.com/news/2026/10/23…

Talk about dark money: the only donor in the first weeks of October to the super PAC backing Max Miller in Ohio? $500k from a group that didn't even disclose its *address* on the forms.

Can't script this: A week after TX-34 candidate Eric Flores sent a cease-and-desist to take down a Dem ad showing him next to Trump, the WH announces POTUS will be going to ... TX-34
A sign of the times ahead of November: GOP candidate Eric Flores is in a tough race to try to flip a South Texas seat — and he wants to pull down a billboard ad by his opponent Rep. Vicente Gonzalez promoting his endorsement from Trump and his support of ICE.

NEW: Across key Senate battlegrounds, Republicans’ cash advantage hasn’t led to an equally large amount of advertising time.
“There are limitations to the impact of ‘big money’ in politics.”

from @politico this weekend - Democratic House and Senate candidates and outside groups have spent $145 million on general election ads mentioning Trump, while Republicans have spent just $8 million, according to a POLITICO analysis of data from AdImpact, which tracks political advertising.
That’s in sharp contrast to 2024, when GOP candidates spent $62 million on ads mentioning Trump.

It's a tale as old as time. The House is getting ready to blame... the Senate.
“All of this money that was expected to go to the House, for the most part, is now being wasted on the Senate because they fucked up so bad," said one national GOP operative working on multiple competitive House races.
New: Republicans are sharpening their knives ahead of Election Day — and many have already decided privately who they will blame if results don’t go their way.
So far, no one is safe from taking heat.

👀 Rs inside Trump’s political operation are warning that pro-Trump super PACs can only help so much
Instead, GOP candidates need to focus on laying out 3-5 key future deliverables to “improve people’s personal economic situation” and “lower [their] cost of living.”
If not, “there’s a good chance they’re going to lose.”
That’s shocked Rs in tough races, who feel like they’re getting diverging messaging. It’s a big shift from even how House GOP leadership has approached the campaign trail in the final stretch.

NEW — Two weeks out, Republicans are already spending significant time discussing who to blame on election night if they suffer big losses.
It’s a vicious cycle as Rs start to point fingers, publicly and privately, at the NRCC, Senate GOP, Roger Marshall, Trump himself and more. Trump political aides are calling campaigns they feel aren’t performing well enough.
“If it happens, there will be plenty of blame to go around,” said Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), who is in his own tighter-than-comfortable race.

At least half a dozen House Dem challengers raised over $3 million in Q3 direct to their campaign accounts.
That’s more than multiple battleground Senate GOP incumbents brought in.
