EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says the Trump administration’s regulatory changes have produced an estimated $1.6 trillion in savings.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doubles down on her support for transgender athletes participating in women’s sports. 

Why do we fear for the future of the Republic? AOC (who is actually a member of the US Congress) spouted some of the most idiotic drivel ever spoken in public.

It included claims that she backs men in women’s sports and locker rooms because she’s a “girl’s girl” (a term she didn’t define because she can’t even define what a “woman” is).

Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion for consumer-protection violations

New Mexico judge hits Meta with $25 billion judgment over data claims

"[It is the] single largest, if not the largest, single state verdict against the company in American history

A Santa Fe judge ordered Meta to pay New Mexico $25 billion for consumer-protection violations tied to the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a penalty Meta calls a tax on speech.

Judge Francis Mathew of the First Judicial District of New Mexico handed down the judgment after a jury found the company liable for more than 43 million violations of the state’s consumer protection laws. ABC News reported the ruling on October 21, 2026.

The case grew out of Facebook user data that flowed to Cambridge Analytica and later fueled targeted political ads in the 2016 general election. New Mexico sued on its own. Forty-eight other states settled similar claims.

Meta said it will appeal. Its chief legal officer framed the lawsuit as an attempt to police online speech under the banner of consumer law.

Pete Buttigieg endorses Independent, not Democrat candidate

Pete Buttigieg sides with independent over Democratic nominee in Montana Senate race

Pete Buttigieg has endorsed independent Seth Bodnar over his own party’s nominee in Montana’s open Senate race, a move that exposes Democratic doubts about winning in deep-red states.

ABC News reported that the former transportation secretary is backing Bodnar, a Green Beret and former University of Montana president running as an independent, rather than Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead.

The endorsement was shared first with the network. Buttigieg did not mention Bankhead in his statement. The race is for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Steve Daines, with former U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme running as the Republican.

Buttigieg framed the choice around service and results, not party loyalty.

Liberal Judge halts non-citizen voting investigations

Federal judge blocks Trump effort to probe noncitizen voter rolls in nine states

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt noncitizen voting investigations in nine states until polls close, freezing election integrity work days before the midterms.

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin in Oakland, California (nominated by Joe Biden) directed the Trump administration to stop the probes into whether noncitizens are registered to vote in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin. The order runs until the polls close on Election Day, Nov. 3.

The ruling came Wednesday. Martinez-Olguin then put her own order on hold until Friday so the administration could seek an appeal. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return a request for comment, the Associated Press reported.

Plaintiffs in the case include the California Nurses Association, National Nurses United, the Voto Latino Foundation, the city of San Francisco, and Santa Clara County. They went to federal court to stop the government’s work in those nine states.

Martinez-Olguin’s order covers large Electoral College and battleground states alike. Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Wisconsin sit on that list beside deep-blue California and New York. The geographic spread means the freeze is not a narrow local dispute. It reaches the states where small margins often decide control of Congress.

Lindsay Clancy defense blocked from challenging holdout juror

Massachusetts judge blocks Lindsay Clancy bid to question holdout juror

A Massachusetts judge has blocked Lindsay Clancy's attempt to investigate the lone holdout juror who refused to acquit her of murdering her three young children.

The U.S. Sun reported that Plymouth Superior Court Judge William Sullivan denied the defense request for an evidentiary hearing aimed at the juror who kept the jury from a unanimous verdict. The four-page order also rejected a bid to postpone the next court date.

Citing state Supreme Judicial Court precedent (notably the Karen Read case), Sullivan ruled that post-trial information cannot be used to challenge a validly declared mistrial or breach the strict secrecy of jury deliberations.

Three murder charges against Clancy remain pending. Arguments on a separate double-jeopardy dismissal motion are still set for November 2. The ruling closes off one path the defense hoped would undercut the mistrial declared after a 26-day trial.

Clancy, 36, is charged with killing her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, at the family home in Duxbury, Massachusetts, on January 24, 2023. Prosecutors say the children were strangled with exercise bands. Clancy then jumped from an upstairs window and was left paralyzed from the waist down.

Federal prosecutors have identified Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., in a court filing as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi," listing the name the Minnesota Democrat uses publicly as an alias.

The name renews scrutiny of long-running claims about her past marriage. Elmi is also the surname of Omar's former husband, Ahmed Nur Said Elmi, whom she married in 2009 and divorced in 2017.

The filing, submitted Wednesday in Washington's federal court by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro's office, refers to her as "Ilhan Nur Said Elmi, a/k/a Ilhan Abdullahi Omar."

It asks a judge to keep a search warrant for Omar's home sealed until agents finish executing it, after The New York Times and other outlets sought its release.

Alexsander Vučić Populist of Serbia

USAID cash from Biden years still reaches Serbia NGO tied to election protests

A Biden-era USAID award is still sending American taxpayer money to a Serbian group linked to student protests that now threaten Aleksandar Vučić’s long hold on power ahead of this weekend’s vote.

Serbia heads into parliamentary elections on October 25 with so-called student protests spreading across the country and a polling gap that has put Vučić’s party on the defensive. Federal spending records show the Center for Research, Transparency, and Accountability, known as CRTA, has already drawn more than $832,000 from a U.S. Agency for International Development award and still has roughly $2.8 million obligated.

Matt Mercer reported that CRTA is known to stand behind the student-led protests and has published a list of “student demands” aimed at the government. The same outfit tracks elections, media, and public opinion on its website. The money trail runs straight through USAID’s “Elections Integrity Activity” grant, first awarded in 2023 and expanded on January 17, 2025, three days before President Trump took the oath for his second term.

That timeline matters. The expansion locked in additional U.S. funding just as the political calendar in Belgrade was heating up. Vučić stepped down as president in late September so he could run for prime minister. A poll published earlier this month showed his Serbian Progressive Party trailing student-supported candidates by two percentage points.

California's Mail-In ballots to Non-Citizens

Federal prosecutor says 20,000 noncitizens got California mail ballots

A top federal prosecutor says investigators confirmed 20,000 noncitizens on California's voter rolls received mail ballots, and his office is racing to keep those votes from counting.

Bill Essayli, first assistant U.S. attorney for California's Central District, said federal investigators have determined that every one of the 20,000 people flagged on the state's rolls as likely noncitizens is not a U.S. citizen. He also said investigators have evidence those same people were mailed ballots this month.

His office sued California on Oct. 15 seeking a court order to sequester any ballots they return and keep them from being counted. On Wednesday, the Justice Department escalated the fight, asking a judge to rule on the emergency request by noon Thursday.

Essayli told Fox News Digital the figure is only the starting point.

According to the NCSL, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and Vermont are states that allow all elections by mail. There are 5 other states that allow some jurisdictions to conduct all mail elections and 10 more states that allow vote by mail with verified registration and identity, Florida being one of them, and I have used Vote By Mail for the past several years.

Data Center at 20-Mile Bend

Project Tango grows: County staff grants administrative approval to larger data center Project

Tango site north of Southern Boulevard at 20-Mile Bend.

The Palm Beach County Commission said “no” on July 15 to the expanded Project Tango data center project. But previous approvals are now coming back to haunt neighbors who oppose the hyperscale AI data center.

County staff on Oct. 7 approved a request from PBA Holdings, one of two landowners in the 202-acre area off Southern Boulevard at 20-Mile Bend, to reassign land uses within the site’s previously approved master plan. That plan had allowed for 200,000 square feet of data center use and 1.2 million square feet of warehouses, leaving about 600,000 square feet unassigned.

With the Oct. 7 approval, those rights now are assigned to increase the amount for data centers to 698,000 square feet.

Fake Manufactured Polls

Polling industry scrutinized after firm admits it ‘fabricated’ data

Wedgewood Polls claimed that it manufactured fraudulent polling data as part of a social experiment to demonstrate the lack of verification in the polling industry and mainstream media.

Just two weeks before midterm elections on Nov. 3, a polling firm widely cited by mainstream news outlets admitted that it fabricated polling data.

Wedgewood Polls confirmed in an Oct. 20 press release that it is a “fictional entity” that published “fabricated numbers” and “unverified figures,” claiming that the polling firm was created as “an experimental project to demonstrate the vulnerabilities, lack of oversight, and overall low barrier to entry in the modern political polling industry.”

The 17 polls manufactured by Wedgewood since June were cited in outlets such as The New York Times and MSNOW and included in polling aggregators such as Decision Desk HQ, VoteHub, and FiftyPlusOne.

Decision Desk HQ reported afterward that it has removed all 17 Wedgewood polls cited in its aggregates, but added that the “removal of these polls has not changed the projected seat totals or chamber control probabilities in the Senate or House.” Of course.

Trump's Historic Results

Promises Made; Promises Kept; Results delivered

In less than two years, President Donald J. Trump has driven the most consequential stretch of governing in modern American history. He inherited a disaster — and turned it into a historic comeback. 

• President Trump sealed the border, drove violent crime to historic lows, unleashed American energy, cut taxes for working families, focused Washington on merit and common sense, and deployed American strength on the global stage.
• President Trump ended Democrats’ open borders disaster, established the strongest border in history, and restored American sovereignty.
• President Trump ended Democrats’ sick war on law enforcement and restored the simple idea that violent criminals belong behind bars.
• President Trump engineered a blue-collar boom with lower taxes, more factories, trillions in new investment, and fair trade that puts American workers first again.
• President Trump eliminated DEI from Pentagon hiring and promotion — putting warfighting back at the center of the force. Recruitment goals up 105%
• President Trump turned the U.S. back into a global energy superpower and spearheaded the biggest deregulatory shock in history.
• President Trump put truth and common sense back into federal policy.
• President Trump took on the processed-food complex, Big Pharma pricing, and the chronic disease crisis.
• President Trump is relentlessly focused on restoring Americans’ trust in their elections, courts after years of Democrat lawfare.

Under President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Republican leadership, the era of managed decline is over — and America is finally winning again.

In under two years, President Trump sealed the border, made the streets safer, unleashed American energy, cut taxes for workers, restored the military, ended wars, working on Iran and Ukraine and put America First.

Zelensky’s willingness to freeze fighting along existing front lines puts a negotiated settlement at the center of the Ukraine debate. The supplied commentary credits Trump’s pressure and argues that American support should have carried firmer demands for an achievable end to the war.

In his interview with Brian Kilmeade, Zelensky supported a ceasefire, giving up 25% of his country to Putin, followed by diplomacy and security guarantees from Washington and Europe. His remarks establish openness to that framework, rather than a completed peace agreement or surrender.

Make no mistake, Putin is worse than Zelensky. Sure, the Little Z closed churches, shut down opposition parties and refused to hold elections, but he never followed that longstanding Russian tradition of assassinating one’s opponents. Putin has no conscience at all to restrict him to being human.

The consequential question is whether negotiations can produce terms both sides implement, with protection against renewed fighting after the cameras leave. [Luthmann]

Democrat Socialist Senate Candidate Angie Nixon

Florida Senate nominee Angie Nixon took $70,000 from obscure firm run by anti-ICE activist

Democratic Senate hopeful Angie Nixon took home $70,000 this year from an obscure firm run by an anti-ICE activist, money her campaign won't explain.

Washington Free Beacon reporting shows Building Blocks Strategies paid Florida Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon at least $70,000 in personal wage income this year for services that remain unknown.

The same firm paid her $20,000 in 2025, bringing the total to $90,000 between 2025 and August 2026. Nixon draws no salary from her campaign. She, the firm’s founder, her campaign treasurer, and the union that funds the company all declined to answer questions.

Nixon is a longtime socialist who formally joined the Democratic Socialists of America in June. She sits in the Florida House and is running statewide while maintaining deep ties to left-wing advocacy networks that fight immigration enforcement and bankroll political consulting shops.

Homeland Security secured Ilhan's DNA

Federal agents pulled DNA from Ilhan Omar’s trash before raiding her D.C. home

Federal investigators collected garbage from Rep. Ilhan Omar’s Washington home seeking her DNA before a raid tied to alleged immigration fraud that could put her citizenship at risk.

Agents with the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Security Investigations unit executed a search warrant at the congresswoman’s D.C. residence last week, seizing her cellphone after a federal judge signed off on the entry.

Breitbart News reported that investigators had already gone through trash outside the home in an effort to secure DNA evidence for an immigration-related fraud case centered on whether Omar or her father lied about her age on her naturalization application.

The DNA step was not a side show. Multiple sources told NewsNation the genetic material was critical to the probe, which has widened beyond Omar herself and now reaches family members named in federal subpoenas.

Evidence from the search and the DNA collection is expected to go before a grand jury, according to those same accounts.
