1: Karoline Leavitt Says Trump Is the Best Boss, Reveals Fox News Start Date
The former press secretary says the media doesn’t show the president’s kind side and confirms she joins Fox News on November 1
Former White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt is opening up about what it was really like to work for President Donald Trump. Answering questions from followers on Instagram, she said, “People don’t see this side of him because the media doesn’t show it.” She also explained why her new TV role is nothing like the 60-hour weeks she left behind.
Why It Matters to You: Leavitt spent more than a year and a half as the administration’s daily voice on the border, the economy and national security. Her firsthand account offers a rare look at the president away from the cameras, and her return to the airwaves comes just weeks before the midterm elections. READ MORE
2: Obama Presidential Center Cost Hits $1 Billion, Nearly Triple Original Estimate
The Obama Foundation now says the Chicago campus will cost about $1 billion, making it the most expensive presidential center in U.S. history
Barack Obama’s presidential center was once pitched at $300 million with a 2021 opening. It opened five years late, and the foundation now confirms the price tag has climbed to roughly $1 billion. Experts warn the money questions may not end there.
Why It Matters to You: The center sits on public parkland in Jackson Park that the City of Chicago owns, secured for a one-time payment of $10. When costs nearly triple and the timeline slips by years, the public deserves to know who will pay to keep it running. READ MORE
3: DOJ Subpoenas Ilhan Omar’s Relatives as Probe Into Family’s Immigration History Escalates
A day after agents searched her D.C. home, a grand jury subpoenaed Omar’s sister as new questions surface over a 2019 change to her listed birth year
The federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar is widening. The Justice Department has issued grand jury subpoenas to members of her family, including her sister, as investigators examine whether her late father gave false information on immigration forms. Omar calls it an effort to “weaponize federal law enforcement,” while President Trump says “America wants answers, and we want them, NOW!”
Why It Matters to You: Citizenship is only as strong as the honesty of the process that grants it. A judge-approved search and now grand jury subpoenas will test whether the law applies equally to a sitting member of Congress. READ MORE
4: Paxton Edges Ahead of Talarico in New Texas Senate Poll as Democrat Faces CNN Town Hall
A Quantus Insights survey taken during the end of Talarico’s two-week absence shows Paxton at 47.2% to Talarico’s 46.7%
Ken Paxton has pulled into a razor-thin lead over James Talarico in the Texas Senate race, according to a new poll taken October 9 through 11. Just weeks ago, a New York Times/Siena poll had Talarico up six. The pollster calls the race “essentially tied,” and Talarico now heads into a CNN town hall needing to reset.
Why It Matters to You: Texas has not sent a Democrat to the Senate since 1988, and this seat could decide control of the chamber. With early voting starting October 19, every point in this race matters for the future of President Trump’s agenda. READ MORE
5: Trump Says He’ll “Make a Decision” on Livestreaming Fort Hood Shooter’s Firing Squad Execution
The Pentagon plans to broadcast Nidal Hasan’s Dec. 3 execution, the military’s first since 1961, but the president says the final call is his
President Donald Trump says he is weighing both sides of the Pentagon’s plan to livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan. “There are two thoughts: don’t show it and show it,” Trump said, adding that showing it means “maybe other people won’t be doing what he did.” Now the military’s own archbishop is urging Catholic soldiers not to take part.
Why It Matters to You: Hasan murdered 13 Americans on a U.S. Army base, and their families have waited nearly 17 years for justice. How this execution is carried out will send a message to anyone who would target American troops. READ MORE
