It has been months in the making, but today I launched the 2026 Midterms Candidate Due Diligence website. midterms.theleahfiles.com For far too long we have not had a comprehensive side-by-side picture of who is funding our candidates, who pays for them to get elected, their stance on issues we care about, and many more important factors. So, I built what I could not find: a page for every single person on your ballot, showing exactly who is paying for them. Pick your state and you get your voting rules, issues on your specific ballot this midterm, a map of your congressional districts, the measures on your ballot and what they actually do, and a profile on all 2,517 candidates for governor, Senate and House. For each candidate it shows where their money came from and who wrote the checks, what outside groups spent for them and against them, the companies and nonprofits they own out of their own financial disclosure, and where they stand on the issues with the vote or the quote behind it. Every number links back to the filing it came from. If something is missing or something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it. Finalizing some of the smaller elections now, but it's 80% done. It is free and the site doesn't ask for donations. But if you would like to support my work you can subscribe to my Substack (link in bio) or buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/theleahfile… I hope you enjoy!

I just introduced the Red Meat Inspection Exemption Act with @chelliepingree to allow small farmers to slaughter and process their own livestock for direct-to-consumer sales without federal interference. This bill keeps Trump’s promise by reducing regulations on producers.

For anyone struggling to follow the highly sophisticated discourse surrounding @baroncoleman on X lately, here’s my completely unscientific reconstruction of the collective thought process: Baron: agrees to fill in for Candace. Normal people: Oh, nice. 🚨 Meanwhile, at X’s newly formed Department of Anti-Baron Investigations: EVERYBODY STAY CALM! Who’s got Grok Premium? Ask it to analyze Baron’s soul. Nothing? Go back ten years. CHECK DAYCARE. Someone find out what Baron did in daycare. DID HE SHARE HIS CRAYONS? He shared them? RED FLAG. Find a photo of his teenage bedroom. Zoom in. A candle. Birthday candle. Birthday. Candace has a birthday! WE GOT HIM. NEXT. Check his law school locker. 214. 2+1+4=7. Add a C. C7. Charlie starts with C. HOLY SHIT. Now find someone who once stood behind him at Costco. Did he put the cart back? FIND THE CART. Enhance the background. WHO’S THAT BY THE ROTISSERIE CHICKENS? Ask Grok what it all means. Screenshot the answer. Start a Space. START ANOTHER SPACE ABOUT THE FIRST SPACE. Anyway, call me old-fashioned but I’d probably start with actually listning to the guy. Because you learn, eventually, that some people earn your trust without ever asking for it. Not through persuasion, but through the accumulation of small, unguarded moments that are very difficult to fake. Spend any amount of time listening to Baron and those moments begin to form a pattern. Character has a way of making itself known — and so does the unmistakable decency of a genuinely good human being. I just needed to say that. #BaronColeman @researcherdaisy @RealCandaceO

A beautiful message by the most senior paralegal at MuslimLegal.com Our differences need not divide us from working for a better world together.

Simon has been found dead, reportedly from "suicide." RIP to Simon and to all whistleblowers who have died too young. The truth about Lutnick will never die

They are calling it the greatest community note of all time.

This video perfectly sums up watching MAGA loving Indians trying to get “America First” patriots that are pissed off to get of their ass to vote for them anymore. The struggle is real because who they are putting in front of us are really weak.

This is Trump's chief advisor and you wonder why his poll numbers have tanked.

I once considered Dan Bongino a friend. I stayed silent for a long time out of that respect. I gave him the courtesy of telling him privately that I was going to speak, so what you are seeing now is not an ambush. What you are watching is a bruised ego going to war with anyone who will not agree with him, then trying to discredit them so he never has to answer the disagreement. Dan walked into the FBI thinking he was going to change the world. The FBI does not change overnight. It is full of snakes, rot, and bureaucrats who will never hand over control. We learned that early, when Dan and Kash put their trust in Steve Jensen. People warned them in public, I warned him privately. Dan was adamant he knew what he was doing. History proved that was the wrong call. Many times Dan promised things would happen by certain dates that came and went with nothing happening and I’m sure he too was disappointed that the accountability he expected would come never did. Then we all watched the Epstein interview. Dan and Kash looked broken. Whatever was left of the old Dan wanted to fight the system. The system does what it always does. It chews people up. He has yet to tell the full truth about what happened there. Then came the pipe bomber case. That was Dan’s one “big win” inside the Bureau based on the promises he made going in. The public can now see the inconsistencies that we know Dan was smart enough to see on his own. Even if he turns out to be wrong, his ego will not let him say it. So instead of answering the questions, he goes after anyone who asks them, including General Flynn. I hated watching the crash out. I disagreed with him in private for a long time. I even gave him a heads up that I would not stay quiet anymore, because none of what he is defending makes sense. This country is already under pressure from forces that want it weaker. Protecting the system, and your own ego, ahead of the good of the nation does real damage to where we go from here. I am saying this knowing it puts me on his warpath. I have stayed off the sideline fights that look like distractions. I have also always said I would tell the truth where it actually matters. This is one of those times. @dbongino

2 down, 10 more to go. Texas can’t rid itself of these RINO traitors fast enough.

What if Charlie took the hit and knowingly sacrificed himself for Candace?

Have many votes did Trump cost the right when he started a new war, recorded record high debt and deficit, gas at $4 a gallon and called the Epstein Files a hoax?

I guess we all have choices to make then right, Dan? @dbongino Just like the choice you made when you went into the swamp and came out a rat. Id rather keep my dignity and stay home than participate in the destruction you faggots have caused. Remember, Bongina, you contributed to the destruction....

He stands there next to the guy who silenced his strongest supporters. Turns out Trump is the fake.

Sarah doesn’t understand Brad wasn’t just sitting on the couch. Brad applied to hundreds of jobs in Bentonville. He made it through round after round of interviews and still didn’t get hired. He’s sitting on $40,000 in debt for the education he was told would give him a future. Meanwhile, the biggest employer in Bentonville is laying off and reorganizing corporate workers while continuing to file thousands of H-1B labor applications. Maybe the story isn’t as simple as “young American man is lazy and refuses to work.”

By popular request, here's my next poll. What kind of right wing voter are you?

350,000 Haitians lost TPS on July 27. 2 MONTHS LATER: 530 have been sent back to Haiti. Almost NONE of the 350,000 have been deported. They’re still here! WHAT EXACTLY IS @SecMullinDHS DOING?
