  1. What is it with #Republicans and pedophiles? #NEWS - A pastor kicked off a recent campaign stop for Michael Whatley, the Republican nominee for Senate, with a prayer that asked God to bestow “integrity and honesty” upon the event and to right wrongs “hammered down on the conservative movement.” The prayer was hardly unusual by North Carolina political standards. What was surprising was the man who delivered it. Pastor Daimon L. King is a registered sex offender, twice sentenced to prison for convictions involving children, according to state and court records.

  10. He’s full of bogus campaign promises…Trump says the war in Iran will end after Election Day - again, if you believe this, after all his lies, your gullibility index is off the charts. Just look at the facts: #Trump originally stated the war would be over in “days”; he said we’d destroyed Iran’s military; that we control the Strait of Hormuz. All lies, belied by facts on the ground. If anything, #Iran has absorbed American attacks and has so far prevailed in this conflict - holding the global economy hostage. Instead of ‘regime change’, our attack on Iran has only solidified the power of the hardline factions and the military. Anything Trump says about the #IranWar and the #MiddleEast should be taken with a grain of sand. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-elec #elections #elections2026 #2026Elections #USPol #USPolitics

  15. Republican nominee for #Maine governor says he wants #ICEAgents at #Polling places in the state

    The Maine Democratic Party criticized the idea as likely illegal and an attempt to intimidate voters.

    by PATRICK WHITTLE and MATT BROWN,
    August 26, 2026

    PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — "Maine’s Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall’s midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

    "During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask #TomHoman, the White House #BorderCzar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before #ElectionDay. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

    " 'Here’s my secret,; Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. 'I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Tom’s an awesome guy.'

    " 'I’m going to ask Tom, I’m going to actually — three or four weeks before the election, maybe three — I’m going to make an appeal for ICE and #USMarshals to be at our voting booths,' Charles said, according to the audio."

  16. #Texas and #Georgia races show voters are finally sick of #MAGA corruption

    #JonOssoff and #JamesTalarico are polling well with a #CleanGovernment message

    By Amanda Marcotte, August 31, 2026

    "What’s getting attention, however, is not bland, consultant-approved talk about the price of groceries. Ossoff has aggressively targeted Trump on the one issue pundits had long assumed voters no longer care about: corruption. He calls the president a 'crook,' describes his cronies as the #MarALargoMafia and bashes the White House as 'the most corrupt administration of all time.' "

    ‘I’ve Never Seen This’: Massive Collapse in Support for #AIDataCenters Captured in New Poll

    “If you can think of a cohort of Americans, there’s a good chance they wouldn’t welcome a #datacenter in their area.”

    Brad Reed, Aug 20, 2026

    "A poll released on Thursday shows a massive collapse in support for building #ArtificialIntelligence #DataCenters among #Republican, #Democratic, and #IndependentVoters.

    "The poll, which was conducted by Embold Research and published by Heatmap Pro, shows that 75% of Americans now oppose building AI data centers in their area, including 61% registering strong opposition."

    "Just one year before, 42% of Americans said they opposed AI data centers in their areas, compared with 43% who expressed support."
