don't let this be overshadowed, tell your representatives and senators not to allow these life-threatening changes that will put every single american at risk happen.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration released its 2026 budget earlier this week. The proposal cuts most weather research and could jeopardize critical tornado and hurricane forecasting. Senior meteorologist @MatthewCappucci explains.

As one of the candidates featured in these polls - the infamous one in late June that showed me plummeting into single digits (which was at odds with our internals) - here's the impact of this "experiment" - Donations dried up - Volunteers were devastated and pleading for guidance on what to do - Reporters hounded me with calls to drop out Sure, a point was proven. Polling is broken. But tens of thousands of people poured their hearts, time, energy, hard-earned money into something they believed in - for a year-and-a-half, and it was treated like a game. Our volunteers gave their all. And then some. I felt like I had let so many of them down. To be extremely clear, Michigan Democrats are locked in to beat Mike Rogers. We WILL send @AbdulElSayed to the US Senate. But between crap like this, endless fundraising texts that drive supporters away with spammy fake deadlines and trash "match" claims, scam PACs run rampant for firms to grift without actually supporting candidates, undisclosed content creators pushing content out either misrepresenting themselves as residents of states they don't live in or hiding whether they were paid and by who so they could make a buck, and the tidal wave of dark money ads -- I hope Democrats are ready to blow up the system with campaign finance and transparency reforms. Trust is already at an all-time low. We don't get out of this mess without rebuilding trust. And media - who loves to ride the drama of a pollercoaster - needs to take a hard look at what's legitimate and what's not. If this teaches us anything - DON'T GET COMPLACENT AND DON'T TRUST THE POLLS. LOCK IN. SIGN UP FOR A CANVASSING SHIFT. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
The polling industry needs major reform. Our statement below:
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Wedgewood Polls released this statement after FiftyPlusOne contacted them regarding evidence of fabricated poll data. They had shared fraudulent raw data the prior day and raised crowdfunding for polls presented as legitimate. blog.fiftyplusone.news/p/fiftyplusone… x.com/gelliottmorris…

.@DarializaforNY Just because you let @ZohranKMamdani’s chief legal counsel Ramzi Kassem cum inside of you every night doesn’t make you fit for office. Your idea of a good time is having sex with a lawyer who represents islamic terrorists and wiping your dirty immigrant Jihadi hands all over the American flag by your own admission. Your boyfriend represented Al Qaeda terrorists and through your relationship, Islamic terrorists could very well have even more representation in Congress along with the representation your boyfriends’ boss @ZohranKMamdani already gives them. Not shocked to see you come to the defense of your fellow ghetto black bitch @AngieNixon. I’ll get a new bit when you stop being a walking, breathing cum dumpster for Al Qaeda’s lawyer.

This pollster says Mike Rogers’ campaign was told that winning Jewish voters isn’t enough; he also needs to win over Black voters or suppress turnout in Detroit. Now look at the push for police specifically in Detroit. Meanwhile, AIPAC appears to be exploiting Islamophobia and racial divisions to turn Black voters against Abdul. When they can’t win on pro-Israel messaging, they resort to race-baiting. All to protect the flow of U.S. weapons to Israel. Black communities deserve better than being used as political pawns.
BARIS ON MIKE ROGERS IN MI: I spoke with the Rogers campaign. They have a theory of how he can win, and there is a path. I just don’t think it’s a likely one. My model gives Rogers a 16.67% chance, roughly 1 in 6. He’s getting more Jewish D defections than expected, but he needs much more than that. He needs lower Black D turnout and significant crossover support in key counties. Meanwhile, El-Sayed is drawing Arab American voters by margins we haven’t seen before. Even in a bad election for Rs, there will be surprises. But people confuse a possible outcome with a probable one. Rogers can win. It’s just a very difficult path.

After Mike Rogers began serving as Intel Chair in the U.S. House, his wife Kristi started receiving increasingly large government contracts to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mike Rogers walked straight through the revolving door to put himself and his wallet first, above Michiganders.

the funny part is they have to put family in here because mike rogers does have political and business ties to the muslim brotherhood
Mike Rogers doesn’t have documented family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The cover they’re giving to Abdul is shameful.

Platforming Amy Acton’s estranged, abusive mother to disparage her daughter just might be the Republican Party’s lowest point of this election cycle. Shame on them. Vivek Ramaswamy is losing and it’s clear to most rational Americans why.

I'm sorry. This might be the most vile, political ad I have ever seen in politics over the last 10 years or so. Ohio, you can end this insanity in 2 weeks.
Last week, I wrote about how the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy had co-opted Dr. Amy Acton's estranged mother for his "October surprise." Here's the ad in full. Nasty stuff from Ms. Arthur.

Mike Rogers falsely claimed his election was stolen and said he wants to intimidate Detroit voters so he doesn't "wake up at 4 a.m. a loser" again. Rogers is a Trump sycophant, an election denier, and can't be trusted anywhere near the Senate. rawstory.com/mike-rogers-267…

Ted Nugent was accused of raping and sexually assaulting several minors including Courtney Love when she was 12 and he literally wrote a song about how he’s attracted to 13 year olds. Trump is now campaigning with him
Nugent: We could eliminate the Democrat Party. That's the goal. They're not Democrats, they're Communists! I want them out of here!

Just a reminder that republicans sent these out to try and anger voters. That’s how desperate they are right now.
People are getting pissed. Let this be a reminder to take your anger to the voting booth.
