1: Newsom Says Trump “Is Not Screwing Around” as Feds Charge 28 in California Noncitizen Voting Sweep
The arrests come days after the Justice Department sued California to set aside mail ballots from about 20,000 suspected noncitizens
Federal prosecutors charged 28 foreign nationals in California on Monday in a sweep the Justice Department calls Operation Protect the Vote. Gov. Gavin Newsom is fighting back, warning a New Hampshire crowd, “Trump is not screwing around.” President Trump has his own message for California officials, and a federal judge may soon decide the fate of 20,000 ballots.
Why It Matters to You: Only citizens can vote in federal elections, and every illegal ballot cancels out a lawful one. With control of Congress on the line November 3, the fight over California’s voter rolls could shape trust in the entire election. READ MORE
2: Speaker Johnson Calls France Riots a “Chilling Warning” for America as Trump Says “France Is Burning”
Some 1,800 people were arrested as rioters torched a town hall and stormed another, and Johnson, Trump and Vance are pointing to open borders
Riots and looting tore through French cities over the weekend, with a town hall set ablaze and hundreds of officers injured. Speaker Mike Johnson says it is “a chilling warning for all Americans.” President Trump and Vice President Vance blame mass migration, while Macron points to a very different cause.
Why It Matters to You: The scenes in France have become part of America’s border debate just 15 days before the midterm elections. Voters will decide which direction this country takes on immigration and public safety. READ MORE
3: Trump Endorses Netanyahu, Warns U.S. Will “Soon Finish the Job” on Iran
Trump gave Netanyahu his “Complete and Total Endorsement” nine days before Israel votes, and warned America may have to act alone if he loses
President Trump has thrown his full support behind Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of Israel’s October 27 election. In a Truth Social post, he warned that if Israel picks anyone other than Bibi, “America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so.” He also signaled that the next phase of the Iran war could come soon.
Why It Matters to You: The Iran war has already pushed up gasoline prices for American families. Whether the U.S. has a willing partner in Israel will shape how much of the burden of finishing that war falls on American forces. READ MORE
4: Bernie Sanders Admits Democrats Failed Working-Class Voters, Driving Them to Trump
Sanders says working Americans lost faith in his party “not unjustifiably,” just over two weeks before the midterm elections
Bernie Sanders just said what Republicans have been saying for years. Asked why working-class voters left the Democrats for Trump, Sanders said the party “failed working-class people on economic issues.” He also named the policy he blames for costing Americans millions of manufacturing jobs.
Why It Matters to You: Jobs, wages and the cost of living decide elections. When one of the Democratic Party’s biggest names admits it failed working families, voters weighing control of Congress on November 3 should take notice. READ MORE
5: Ilhan Omar Unseen Since Raid as Husband Snaps Over Rumors She Fled the Country
Federal agents reportedly seized Omar’s passport, phone and computers as she faces separate immigration and financial disclosure probes
Rep. Ilhan Omar has not appeared in public since federal agents searched her Washington home on Monday. When a reporter asked her husband whether rumors she had left the country were true, he snapped, “You guys are annoying the hell out of all the neighbors around here, man.” Meanwhile, her sister skipped a scheduled book event and the investigations are multiplying.
Why It Matters to You: Citizenship is only as strong as the honesty of the process behind it. A grand jury probe touching a sitting member of Congress will test whether the law applies equally to the powerful. READ MORE
