Reuters: US SUPREME COURT BLOCKS MISSOURI FOR THIRD TIME FROM USING REPUBLICAN-DRAWN CONGRESSIONAL MAP IN NOVEMBER MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Headlines on the SCOTUS SAVE ruling are doing Trump's PR for him. 2 things they skip No mass voter purges before midterms—law bars them 90 days out & we're in that window Noncitizen voting? FL/IN/IA & OH ran voters through SAVE & found almost NOTHING -TN democracydefendersaction.org…

Jack Smith gets what he’s been seeking.. a public hearing to answer questions about his criminal case against Trump. Tuesday. At the US Senate

BREAKING: Just days after Pete Hegseth called the Washington Post’s casualty reporting “DISGUSTING and FAKE” and “a complete LIE” — the Pentagon quietly added 37 more wounded US troops to its own public database, 29 Navy sailors and 8 Marines, pushing the official Iran war wounded tally to 861, per the Washington Post. The Pentagon has not disclosed when, where or how the 37 service members were wounded. A Navy official said all 29 sailors have returned to duty, while CENTCOM declined to explain the increase. Hegseth had attacked the Post after it reported at least 22 US military personnel had died since the war began, four more than the Pentagon’s public database showed, writing on X: “This is DISGUSTING and FAKE. A complete LIE. Shame on the Washington Post — they’re worse than Iranian state media.” The Pentagon is now publicly acknowledging dozens more wounded US troops without publicly explaining when, where or how they were injured.

We have to prepare for the day when Donald Trump will permanently leave the White House. And, even more importantly, the day after that.

Bill Clinton: "Some days I can hardly believe what is happening in this country that I love so much. People in charge have created one set of rules for themselves and another set for everyone else. They've weaponized government to settle personal scores, prosecute enemies, stamp out free speech. They've even made the federal government a new profit centre for themselves and their allies."

JUST IN: A federal judge (Trump-appointed Stephanie Gallagher) has held the Trump administration in contempt for deporting a man to El Salvador in violation of three court orders. She's ordering the government to return him. storage.courtlistener.com/re…

The NYT confirms Haaretz's report that Benjamin Netanyahu was secretly warned before Oct. 7, 2023 by the Emirati president that Hamas planned a major attack, per 2 sources The warning was not shared with Israeli security chiefs, per 5 ex-officials nytimes.com/2026/09/25/world…

"I said to Trump, you know, 4 days before the war started, if you do this, you know, the United States will be kicked out of the Gulf. The American Empire will begin to collapse. Your legacy will be destroyed along with your party. I said this to Trump to his face in the Oval Office days before the war began, and he looked at me and said, 'Yes, you're right. But in the end, we all die anyway, so it doesn't matter.' That's exactly what he said. 'In the end, we all die anyway.'" Tucker Carlson, in an interview released yesterday with NPR

Jack Smith investigated Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, yet for months, Senate Republicans refused to allow him to testify about what he found.   I look forward to hearing what Mr. Smith has to say on Tuesday.

SCOTUS has come down with a 6-3 opinion that allows the use of the SAVE database for review of potential non-citizens. Georgia led the way in showing how best to use it. But it will have little impact on this election as the majority opinion notes we are in the 90 day. Blackout period for systematic list maintenance. But again, this is one data point and any flag would require more data and more investigation before any action is taken on a voter record. cbsnews.com/news/supreme-cou…

🚨BREAKING: In a dangerous decision for voters, the Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to overhaul a federal immigration database into a vast, centralized and deeply flawed database of personal information to initiate registration purges. democracydocket.com/news-ale…

Donald Trump thinks he looks tough when he poses like this but he looks like a petulant child whose mommy has taken away his Game Boy until he cleans his room.

These summits are too embarrassing - and too dangerous, with Trump's instability - and the country would be safer and better off if our president weren't hosting them. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0…

It matters to have leaders who care about the right things - as I was reminded during my last flight out of Pittsburgh International Airport. Here's why.

BREAKING on MS NOW: MS NOW and CNN journalists have just been denied access to covering Xi Jinping's arrival back at the White House for tonight's state dinner.

It was clear from the beginning that the situation on the USS Lincoln needed to be taken seriously. Instead of being honest about it and supporting our servicemembers, Trump and Hegseth denied and minimized what was happening. Failed leadership.
