The White House Correspondents' Association strongly objects to the decision to restrict a journalist’s coverage simply because the president didn’t care for their questioning. That is retaliation. The American public's right to an independent press depends on reporters being able to do their jobs without fear that challenging the president will cut off their access.

Latest dispatch from Springfield, Ohio, a lovely place where its economy has taken a hit as Haitian immigrants sequester in their homes or leave after the Trump administration canceled their temporary protected status.

New: Andrew Feinberg, the reporter that Trump snapped at here, was slated to serve as the print pool reporter on Thursday.
Feinberg confirms to me that, without explanation, the White House told him today that he would no longer be the print pooler on Trump's Thursday trip.
Donald Trump lost his temper at a journalist during an Oval Office press conference, calling him a “sick person”.
The US president raged at The Independent’s Andrew Feinberg after he asked him questions about his golf course and his new tip-off hotline designed to expose fraudsters.

Don't be surprised if the House votes to impeach Pete Hegseth when they return next month.
Massie tells me he'll bring his articles up "very soon" after they return and predicted that the "retirement caucus" will expand on November 3. Republicans who lose might just want to vote their conscience.

Sounds way too much like Hitler's Germany.
Armed and in uniform, agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors to ask residents about their immigration status whether they're registered to vote. cbsn.ws/4yzObDZ

This is OUTRAGEOUS.
Trump is telling victims of the Camp Lejeune toxic water disaster that if Republicans don’t win Congress, “there’s no money” to compensate them.
That’s incredibly misleading.
Congress passed a bipartisan compensation law in 2022, and Trump’s OWN Justice Department says more than $879 MILLION has already been paid to victims.
These are veterans and families who suffered devastating illnesses from contaminated water.
Their legal claims don’t suddenly disappear if Democrats win Congress.
Turning their suffering into an election-season bargaining chip is indefensible. These Americans deserve justice, not political threats.

A reporter in Mobile tried to ask Tuberville if he donated his Senate salary to veterans as he promised. Tuberville had the cops kick him out.
Alabama Republican gubernatorial candidate Tommy Tuberville had law enforcement escort me out of tonight's Mobile campaign event while I tried to ask him a question.

One thing about this vile video Republicans are circulating featuring Amy Acton’s mother. It is not an ad. It is an online smear campaign.
An ad is required to have a disclaimer at the end, revealing who paid for it and creating a modicum of accountability. This video has no disclaimer and no one has paid to air it anywhere.
(The Ramaswamy campaign is amplifying the video’s message, which gives you a hint.)

Each party’s top investments, and each state’s share of that party’s Senate spending for the final push:
