Lotsa new reporting in DAY AHEAD:
RT @Acyn: Buttigieg: Folks say, “I'm not sure I can put food on the table, I need help.” And they're busy defending the honor of whoever did the interior decoration of The Cheesecake Factory. That's what's on their mind right now.
It's not even that they're just focused on the wrong things... It's that they created these problems.
RT @Acyn: Buttigieg: When I was in Washington working on infrastructure, I could always count on Cindy Hyde-Smith to take credit for projects that she voted against.
She voted no on the infrastructure law that brought Gulf Coast Rail back to this region, that brought road money back to this region, that improved the ports in this region.
There was a U.S. senator from Mississippi who voted for the infrastructure bill, but it wasn't her.
NEWS: Susan Collins’ latest campaign ad is sparking outrage in Maine.
The ad takes a swipe at Democrat Troy Jackson’s working-class roots, sparking accusations of “shameless elitism.”
Even a former Collins staffer is blasting it, declaring: “The race is over.”
RT @Acyn: Colom: [Cindy Hyde-Smith] said she won't debate me because that's the only way I can get people in the room, is if she's there. I see a room full of people.
RT @Acyn: Colom: She has the audacity to say, “why are you bringing Pete Buttigieg down to the Gulf Coast?” My response is, why does Pete Buttigieg care more about rural healthcare, more about transportation, more about Amtrak than she does? That's the real question.
RT @Acyn: Buttigieg: In Scott Colom, you have somebody who understands that if the cost of beef is too high, the answer isn't to pick another protein, it's to pick another senator.
RT @MeidasClips: Ben Meiselas on why Brazil's stock market crashed after Lula's election victory: "You have all of the oligarchs punishing Brazil. All of these American MAGA-backed, international Epstein-class people punishing the country because the pro-democracy candidate won. Pay attention to what they are doing."
RT @kilotonics: the lawyers Hasan retained for this are the same lawyers (who've left and started their own firm) that represented Dominion in their lawsuit against Fox News, which Dominion won via settlement for $780 million

RT @MeidasClips: Ben Meiselas absolutely unloads on Scott Bessent over his Obama-Cheesecake Factory jab: "There's no one more Martha's Vineyard than this guy!"
Trump hedges on the midterms. Abbott caught hiding his “intimate and embarrassing” Musk emails. Don Jr. hunting with a Russian oligarch. Bolsonaro terrified of what's to come—and may be on the run. Catch up on today's updates:
RT @Acyn: Talarico in Lubbock Texas: I know we are not the only show in town tonight and I appreciate all 4000 of you that showed up this evening. That is a lot of tala-freako's in one room

FINAL STRETCH: A new Susan Collins campaign ad includes this line on Troy Jackson: “I also know Troy Jackson. But we're not talking about buying a cord of wood here. We're sending someone to the US Senate, and Troy doesn't have the tools he needs to be effective.”
Trump: The corruption is so pervasive…. We're taking in billions and billions and billions of dollars

🔥 BEN MEISELAS ERUPTS: The Cheesecake Factory faux outrage is the PERFECT example of how the propaganda machine works.
These people have spent DECADES studying how to brainwash Americans, divide us, and pit us against each other so the oligarchs can get richer, steal our healthcare, send our kids to endless wars, and buy themselves more yachts and private jets.
This isn't an accident. It's a calculated, multibillion-dollar propaganda machine designed to keep Americans fighting each other while the people at the top feast on our flesh.
RT @RonFilipkowski: I still can’t believe Susan Collins put out an ad in Maine demeaning loggers. Who’s next, lobstermen? Lighthouse keepers? Blueberry farmers? Maple syrup makers?

Rebecca Cooke on Derrick Van Orden:
“He's gotten drunk in his official office, yelled at Senate pages, carried a loaded gun through TSA... I mean, he's really out there.”
Cooke also slams his “six votes that he took to continue this war in Iran” as Wisconsin families face rising prices.
Turek: Ben, I also want to say thank you for reaching out to my sister. As you know, like so many Iowans, going through an enormous amount with cancer. And so thank you for reaching out to her. She's really deeply appreciated it.
Her story is a story that to me is so American, and that there are so many people who are experiencing what she's going through.
But the courage, so American and so Iowa, and these are the people I'm fighting for, is one of my north stars is from the Bible, Matthew 25:40, where Christ says, ‘What you do to the least among you, that you do to me.’
And for me, this is about going out there and fighting for the people that can't afford a lobbyist, that can't afford a political donation, going out there and fighting for these people.
Here are just some of the things Trump has said about Ken Paxton this election cycle:
— You might not like the way he dresses. The suit doesn’t look so great.
— You might not like the way he looks. He may not be the best-looking guy I’ve ever seen.
— Some may not like the way he dresses. I don’t.
— He may not dress right.
— I’m not sure if I like your look. I don’t really like the way he looks.
— You might not love his television interviews.
— Some people don’t like the way he interviews or talks.
— He may not talk exactly perfectly. I don’t like the way you talk.
— He could be a pain in the ass sometimes.
— He’s a little bit controversial.
— Whether you love him or don’t love him.
— Maybe I should [look at Ken Paxton’s ass], but I’m not sure your body is gonna qualify.
RT @Meidas_Kiesha: Thanks for the signed message @BMeiselas , @meiselasb & Jordy Meiselas! 🥹
Did you get your WTF America book yet? If not, get your copy:
Iowa Democratic Senate candidate Josh Turek says even longtime Trump voters are approaching him on the campaign trail.
“I'm a two-time Trump voter. I'm a three-time Trump voter. You've got my support because you're one of us.”
RT @t35la5ux: @elonmusk I hear your book club has voted to have "WTF America" by the @MeidasTouch brothers as the next one to discussed at the next get together. Will you be needing a picture book like the ones @realDonaldTrump gets so you can understand it?
Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has endorsed Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins for governor of Alaska, crossing party lines just one week before the midterms.
She urged Republicans, independents, and Democrats to consider the Democratic ticket: “Alaska needs leaders who will put our state first.”
🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over asking supporters for gas money for her $400,000 campaign bus amid rising costs due to Trump's Iran war.
“I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.”
"Even though she is the one that voted seven times to continue this war in Iran, [she's] just gone out there and said, ‘Can you help us out with some gas money?’”
“That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”
Big trouble here for Scott Jennings. A $72.5 million defamation lawsuit is no small matter, especially when the allegations involve a manipulated video and a fabricated quote. This could get very ugly for him. It’s about time this sort of deception has consequences.
