Normally, the subject of midterms doesn't beget questions concerning possible impeachments as a matter of course. Of course, Trump is not normally president (it only seems that way to Gen Z), nor is the anticipated Blue Wave due to be any "normal" comeback.

But it shouldn't have shocked anyone on Wednesday when Peter Doocy of Fox News asked Trump to comment on possible incoming impeachments in the new year.

Trump, of course, responded with an impeachable threat, a fascist threat, the worst threat:...

A right-wing influencer is claiming that Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico was treated at an Ohio mental health facility, not home with the flu. The claim rests on a recorded phone call with an unnamed employee, and the Talarico campaign calls it a lie. The call also raises questions about whether the people behind it broke the law.

Nick Sortor, a conservative influencer, posted what he called a “BREAKING EXCLUSIVE” on X on Sunday. He claimed an Ohio facility “CONFIRMS James Talarico was discharged from the facility earlier this week.”

“The ‘flu’ thing was a BIG FAT LIE,” Sortor wrote....

President Donald Trump announced a major development in the Russo-Ukraine war Sunday morning, one he said was “effective immediately.”

“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “Both parties have agreed. Do not break it!”

Despite the celebratory nature of Trump’s announcement, the president had made similar claims in the past, only to be rebuked on the world stage. In September, Trump claimed that Russia and Ukraine had agreed to avoid striking energy infrastructure targets only for Ukraine to strike “one of Russia’s key oil industry facilities” days later....

The Trump administration pushed a key U.S. ally to carry out strikes on Iran in a bid to “avoid political fallout” before the midterms, according to an explosive report from The Jerusalem Post published on Saturday — a report that two U.S. officials denied within hours of its publication.

Citing a report from the Hebrew-language Israeli newspaper Maariv, The Jerusalem Post details a supposed pressure campaign from the Trump administration to urge Israel into carrying out strikes on Iran “over the past two weeks.”

“Washington wanted Israel to assume the political risks of a military operation ahead of the US midterm elections, rather than US President Donald Trump,” The Jerusalem Post’s report reads, citing Maariv’s report....

Even Trafalgar Group, a pollster known for its Republican-friendly results, now has Democrat James Talarico leading Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race.

Trafalgar’s chief pollster, Robert Cahaly, released the survey on Saturday. Talarico leads Paxton 47.1 percent to 43.6 percent, with Libertarian Ted Brown at 1.8 percent and 7.6 percent undecided. The poll surveyed 1,086 likely voters from Oct. 6 to 8 and has a 2.9-point margin of error.

Election watchers were stunned....

Donald Trump was still talking at his rally in Syracuse, New York, when some of his supporters started walking out, according to a new video report.

MeidasTouch posted video from inside the venue. It shows a steady stream of attendees heading toward the exits while Trump spoke from the stage.

“THEY’VE SEEN ENOUGH: Trump rallygoers in Syracuse start leaving early while he’s still speaking,” the outlet wrote. The clip has drawn more than 128,000 views....

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) suggested over the weekend that a Trump administration official may have quietly contacted a federal appeals judge to stall a contempt inquiry, and the legal analyst interviewing him declared that if so, “people are going to jail.”

In a clip flagged by political video aggregator Acyn Torabi from the Legal AF podcast, Whitehouse laid out a hypothetical involving D.C. Circuit Judge Neomi Rao, a Trump appointee.

“If some MAGA official communicated to Judge Rao or her chambers and that resulted in the administrative stay that held the door open and kept the facts from the Senate Judiciary Committee for his confirmation and stalled investigation into misconduct by the DOJ,” Whitehouse began, “ask any judge how big a deal that is.”...

President Donald Trump cut off reporters and walked away after they repeatedly demanded evidence for his claim of widespread mail-in voting fraud in California.

Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House on Monday as he prepared to board Marine One for campaign events.

The midterm elections are less than a month away, on Nov. 3....

Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) bragged about a road salt win at a Maine Senate debate, and her challenger's comeback had observers cheering.

On Tuesday, Collins faced Democratic challenger Troy Jackson in a debate weeks before the midterms. Asked what she would do about President Donald Trump's tariffs on Canada, Collins pointed to a specific victory.

"I was successful at getting road salt removed from the tariff list," Collins said. Jackson responded by pouncing on the answer....
