The midterms hammer hasn’t fallen yet, but it’s getting closer every day. Today, the New York Times reported that top Republican super PACs are giving up on two embattled House incumbents, Iowa Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and New Jersey Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. The PACs are pulling more than $10 million out of the two races, essentially giving them up for lost in an effort to spend more on other seats they hope will be more defensible.

Missile shortages, vulnerable shipping lanes, and the risk of a widening war confront Trump with a dangerous choice: defend a key ally without triggering another costly conflict just weeks before voters go to the polls.
Donald Trump says he is considering American strikes against Yemen's Houthi movement following deadly attacks on Saudi Arabia. Riyadh wants greater American involvement, and Washington may conclude that allowing a major regional ally to suffer repeated attacks would undermine its credibility. But intervention would create a set of military, strategic and political problems that cannot be dismissed with a presidential order.
Running against corruption is not new. But Democrats have turned the familiar attack into a broader message tied to voters’ economic pain.
By Erin Doherty, Jason Beeferman and Samuel Benson10/12/2026 6:00 AM GMT-8Democrats may be discovering the political power of calling something rigged. They’re leaning hard into anti-corruption messaging in the final weeks of the campaign as new research suggests that linking corruption to Americans’ economic struggles can boost Democrats into the home stretch.

It’s safe to say that when it comes to mathematicians, OpenAI isn’t exactly winning hearts and minds.
On Tuesday, the ChatGPT maker released hundreds of new papers with purported proofs for all sorts of mathematical problems — fresh off of explosive controversy over how its AI agents arrived at a solution to the Navier-Stokes equations.
In a video released on social media on Thanksgiving Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said this year's holiday is different as Albertans prepare to vote next week in a referendum on the province's future in Canada.

By Yiannis DamellosOctober 12, 2026The predawn search of Democratic Representative Ilhan Omar’s Washington-area home on Monday has brought a long-running political conflict into a more troubling phase, less than a month before the November 3 midterm elections. The Justice Department confirmed that federal agents executed a judicially authorized search warrant as part of an ongoing criminal investigation but disclosed neither the evidence sought nor the specific allegations. Reuters reported, citing Fox News Digital, that the inquiry concerns Omar’s immigration paperwork. No criminal finding against the congresswoman was announced in connection with the search.

Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin has been one of the most consequential and contentious features of American foreign policy over the past decade. Across two presidencies, Trump has alternated between sanctions and diplomatic pressure on Moscow, public accommodation of the Russian president, disruptions to Western alliances, and decisions that have weakened Ukraine's position in its war with Russia.
Today we are not going to examine if EVERY Trump policy has benefited Russia. It has not. During his first term, his administration imposed sanctions on Russian oligarchs, approved lethal defensive weapons for Ukraine and, in October 2025, sanctioned Russia's largest oil companies. What we are interested in is whether particular decisions have repeatedly given the Kremlin diplomatic openings, economic relief or strategic advantages—and whether their cumulative consequences have weakened the Western response to Russian aggression.
