As a journalist, it's not my job to tell you who to vote for.
As a journalist, it IS my job to warn you that if we vote Donald Trump back into office, it may be the last vote we ever cast.

You deserve that/a mental health break after continually subjecting yourself to the constant deranged rantings of an unhinged lunatic imbecile. Thanks for all you do.
I’m probably going to miss most of the Trump rally tonight. Going to spend time with my family. Not sure if I’ll miss anything big but based on what I’ve seen over the past few nights, probably not… who knows

Abdul went on Fox one time, asserted himself over Jesse Watters, made Jesse laugh by calling Mike Rogers a "beta,” and ever since then Jesse can't stop talking about how he likes him. A key aspect of the right-wing Trumpian psyche is the desire to be dominated.
Turner: El-Sayed is pretty ripped though.
Watters: Yeah, he’s in great shape.
Jessica: Jesse loves Abdul
Watters: I do like Abdul.

He truly might be ignorant enough to believe that there will literally be an extra hour of daylight each day if this law is passed.
Q: Why did you post Tom Cotton's phone number?
TRUMP: We want to get away from this ridiculous custom of twice a year turning your clocks back ... Tom Cotton is holding it up. You know who wants it? The farmers. Sports wants it. They would like to play tennis at night, would like to play golf a little bit

Just last year he gave a cogent and rational explanation of this issue, and now he’s become a nut and insisting on a very stupid bill.
Trump: You know who wants it? Professional sports and amateurs that would like to play tennis at night, would like to play golf a little bit without having to run home after 14 holes. People don’t want to have to change their clocks. It's a lot of work for a lot of people. They're running around for two days changing all the clocks in their house
Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas, a state that I won by 35 or 40 points. He's got to do it

No one likes changing the clock, me included, but Congress has enacted permanent Daylight Savings Time multiple times before and repealed it each time once Americans experienced absurdly late sunrises in the winter. Arkansans don’t want their kids going to school in the pitch dark, and I’ll always put Arkansas first.

Campaigning from the Oval Office.
Laws? What are those?
Republicans must WIN the 2026 Midterm Elections, and we must use every appropriate tool – whether you vote early, absentee, by mail, or in-person, we must swamp the Radical Left Dumocrats with massive turnout! SO IMPORTANT – PLEASE GET OUT AND VOTE. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

“Looks like a pussy move to send a text instead of actually saying it to someone’s face,” a senior White House official says in response to Tillis texts, refusing to be named and not saying it to Tillis's face. @meganmesserly politico.com/playbook

Straight up bribery.
Orban did this, too. It didn’t work.
If Republicans win the House of Representatives and the Senate in the 2026 Midterm Elections, I’m going to give all adult citizens in the United States of America, $5,000! Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to signing those checks!
Community note
This $5,000 “Trump Dividend” promise was first made in Sept. 2026. Similar prior DOGE and tariff check pledges have not been paid out. It would cost ~$1.2 trillion and require congressional approval.

Once again, Trump is acting like federal resources are his to use however he wishes, to entrench power and shield himself from midterm accountability.
This is budget-busting corruption.
What a wonderful message it will be for voters to say, loudly:
YOU CAN'T BUY OUR VOTES.
And those who try can see can themselves out.
Bye.

This goes well beyond any normal "conflict of interest." Putin is offering a bribe, and he has already achieved a result: The current US policy, which is to stay quiet and refuse help for Ukraine, even as Russian terrorism increases and civilian casualties grow

Hasn’t he been able to head off a lot more stories about his conflicts by being an anonymous source for so many reporters?
For the last 10 years, I have ignored false and misleading stories about me and focused on the work.
But the cycle has gotten out of control where old lies get repeated as fact, new ones get added, and the record becomes increasingly distorted.
So from time to time, I’m going to respond, not to every allegation. But when the truth matters, I’ll put the facts and supporting information out publicly, and people can judge for themselves.

Leaving aside ethics, this reflects a deep misunderstanding of how Putin operates. He’ll pocket the business deal, use the $ to pay for war & be even less willing to compromise on Ukraine, making peace even less likely than it is today. nytimes.com/2026/10/03/us/po… via @NYTimes
