#10 Congress Widens Probe of Democrat Fundraising, Seeking Bank Docs on Possible Foreign Funding - John Solomon Just the News, Rich Weinstein, Midnight, Paul, and Deplorable Coconut on X

A congressional investigation into whether Democrats have been using the ActBlue online donation platform to cheat at fund-raising has expanded into possible foreign funding as House and Senate investigators join forces to demand the Biden administration provide them access to classified intelligence and secret money-laundering reports filed by banks. In bombshell letters to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, FBI Director Christopher Wray and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines obtained by Just the News, House Administration Committee (HCA) Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., and Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., revealed that Congress is probing whether four specific foreign adversaries have routed money to Democratic Party campaigns during the 2024 election...





 

#9 Elon Musk to Give $1 Million to Random Swing State Voters Until Election - Asher Notheis for Washington Examiner, roadtrips, The American Conservative, Amuse, and Nick Sortor on X

Billionaire and X owner Elon Musk announced that swing state residents who are registered to vote will have the chance to receive $1 million from him each day between now and Election Day, marking his latest push for former President Donald Trump. The giveaway was met with applause by the Pennsylvania audience on Saturday, during which Musk awarded the first giveaway winner with a giant check. Musk explained that in order to be eligible to win, one must be registered to vote and must sign an online petition from the political action committee America, with the petition asking signees to support “free speech and the right to bear arms.”






 

#8 PA Democrats See 103% Rise In Voters Leaving Its Party - Sarah Arnold for Townhall, PA Senate Republican Campaign Committee, and freedomsgood on X

The seven battleground states will ultimately decide on the outcome of the 2024 election, with Pennsylvania being one of the most closely watched states. Former President Donald Trump managed to win the Keystone State in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden four years later. The two presidential candidates are neck-to-neck just weeks before the highly contentious election. With the next POTUS most likely being determined by just a few votes in Pennsylvania, the candidates have spent much time and money reaching voters. However, that strategy doesn’t seem to work for Harris as more and more Democrats flee the party. A new report from Newsweek found a whopping 103 percent increase in Pennsylvania voters abandoning the Democratic Party...




 

#7 WI Rep. Wants Judiciary Committee to Look into Election-Related Raid on Wausau Mayor’s Home -  M.D. Kittle for The Federalist, Regular Joe, Vicki McKenna, and John Basham on X

Wisconsin’s far-left top prosecutor still isn’t commenting two days after The Federalist first reported the state Department of Justice led a raid on the office and home of Wausau Mayor Douglas Diny —  a law enforcement operation tied to Diny’s removal and relocation of an unsecured absentee ballot drop box outside city hall.  Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Tiffany, a Republican who represents Wausau in northern Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District, said that he’d like the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Attorney General Josh Kaul’s politically driven probe. Tiffany, who serves on the committee, told Wisconsin conservative talk show host Vicki McKenna that Kaul’s actions reek of the kind of politically weaponized investigations and prosecutions Biden-Harris administration Attorney General Merrick Garland has delivered during his tenure...




 

#6 Senate Shake-Up: How a Secret Ballot Could Undermine a Potential Trump Endorsement in Race to the Top - Julia Johnson for Fox News, Fox News Politics, Laura Loomer, and Kat1776 on X

Former President Donald Trump's historically influential endorsement could prove unconvincing in the Republican Senate leader race — if he chooses to offer one at all.  Senate Republicans, including those who will be newly elected, will gather in Washington, D.C., shortly after the election in mid-November to hold a secret ballot to determine the next GOP leader. The next leader will succeed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who is the longest-serving party leader in Senate history...




 

#5 Some Jewish Voters in Presidential Swing States Reconsider Their Longtime Devotion to Democrats - Marc Levy for AP News, RJC, Adam Goldman, Bryan E. Leib, and Wayne Allyn Root on X
For Rona Kaufman, the signs are everywhere that more Jews feel abandoned by the Democratic Party and may vote for Republican Donald Trump. It’s in her Facebook feed. It’s in the discomfort she observed during a question-and-answer at a recent Democratic Party campaign event in Pittsburgh. It’s in her own family. “The family that is my generation and older generations, I don’t think anybody is voting for Harris, and we’ve never voted Republican, ever,” Kaufman, 49, said, referring to Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris. “My sister has a Trump sign outside her house, and that is a huge shift.” How big a shift? Surveys continue to find that most Jewish voters still support the Democratic ticket, and Kaufman acknowledges that she’s an exception...




 
#4 Raffensperger Denies Voter Fraud Amid Georgia’s Historic Early-Vote Turnout - Lauren Irwin for The Hill, Kylie Jane Kremer, Seth Keshel, and Michelle #FKH on X

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) denied there is voting fraud happening in the state as it sees historic early-voting turnout this month. Raffensperger weighed in on claims made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) about voter fraud in the state after a county experienced an issue with its machines. He said the issue was “blown out of proportion” online. “We’re going to respond quickly to these sorts of things in 2024 because it’s not supported by the facts,” Raffensperger said. “The equipment’s working. We’ve done all sorts of audits since the last election and coming up to this election.”




 

#3 Governor Sununu: ‘Bidenomics’ Coming Back To Haunt Kamala - Daily Wire News, This Week, Perry, NSFBW and Sav on X

New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu said over the weekend that the Biden-Harris administration’s “Bidenomics” was coming back to bite Vice President Kamala Harris on the campaign trail. Sununu made the remarks during a Sunday on ABC News’ “This Week,” after Martha Raddatz noted that voters overwhelmingly trust former President Donald Trump over Harris when it comes to the economy. Raddatz then tried to spread fear about Trump’s proposal to increase tariffs on products from China for national security reasons. “When it comes to the voter, where this election is going, no voter is voting on tariffs,” Sununu said. “It’s a very complex thing. When it comes to the economy, what that really means is, can I afford to bring my kids to McDonald’s? Can I afford to pay the rent?”





 

#2 EXCLUSIVE: Biden-Harris’ DHS Delivers Special Interest Aliens from California to Texas for Release - Randy Clark for Breitbart, Breitbart Texas, John Solomon, and The Heartlander on X

According to a source within CBP, flights carrying 153 mostly Special Interest Aliens (SIA) from San Diego, California, arrived in Laredo, Texas. Most will be processed and released to non-government charity shelters across the Lone Star state. The source said the migrants flown into Texas on Immigration and Customs Enforcement aircraft will be released to a local Catholic Charities shelter in Laredo once processed. The migrants will likely be moved to the city of San Antonio’s Migrant Resource Center, where many will stay at the FEMA-reimbursed shelter while shelter staff members make commercial air travel arrangements for them. Once the arrangements are completed, the source says the group of mostly Special Interest Aliens will likely fly to other parts of the United States.




 

#1 Trump’s Genius McDonald’s Stunt Will Fry Kamala at the Ballot Box - Piers Morgan for The New York Post, SksCartoon, Sarah Fields, Mostly Peaceful Memes, ALX, James Melville, Joe Concha/Ron Filipkowski, and Earth on X

“Even if you flippin’ fries at McDonald’s,” Oprah Winfrey once said, “if you are excellent, everybody wants to be in your line.” I thought of this quote when Donald Trump turned up yesterday at a McDonald’s restaurant in suburban Philadelphia to work a shift making French fries, then handing bags of food to drive-through customers. As political stunts go, this might have been the best I’ve ever seen, because it served two very powerful purposes in the presidential race. First, it reminded voters that his rival, Kamala Harris, has repeatedly boasted about having a summer job at McDonald’s to make her sound more relatable to her fellow Americans, but to date, not a single person has been able to verify this...
