  2. 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

  7. 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."

    ‘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."

  9. "Mr. Thanedar was the latest pro-Israel Democrat to fall to a challenge from the left. This summer, Representatives #DianaDeGette of #Colorado, #DanGoldman of #NewYork and #AdrianoEspaillat of New York were all defeated by younger, more progressive challengers who were fueled by strong organization by the Democratic Socialists of America."

  10. Congressman Is Ousted by #DemocraticSocialist in #Michigan House Primary

    Representative #ShriThanedar is among a wave of Democratic incumbents in Congress whom primary voters have sent packing in a surge of anti-incumbent fervor this cycle.

    By Bayliss Wagner, Aug. 5, 2026

    "Democratic primary voters ousted Representative Shri Thanedar of Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, nominating a democratic socialist for a deep-blue district in the latest sign of the party’s hunger for new blood.

    "Mr. Thanedar narrowly lost to #DonavanMcKinney, a state representative, in the 13th Congressional District, which includes parts of #Detroit and its suburbs. The race was called on Wednesday morning.

    "Both candidates are progressive and support policies like funding universal health care and abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. But Mr. McKinney, 34, who is Black and grew up in Detroit, has contrasted his background with that of Mr. Thanedar, 71, an Indian immigrant who was elected to Congress in 2022. Mr. Thanedar’s victory that year left Detroit, a city that is roughly three-quarters Black, without a Black representative in Washington for the first time in decades.

    "The primary also highlighted Democratic voters’ continued backlash against lawmakers who support Israel. Mr. McKinney has condemned the war in Gaza as a '#genocide' and campaigned with fellow #ProPalestinian Democrats, including Dr. #AbdulElSayed, the progressive candidate in Michigan’s marquee Senate race. Mr. Thanedar, in contrast, has consistently voted to fund aid for the Jewish state."
