New —> Some Democrats don’t expect to fill a Supreme Court vacancy under Trump BLUMENTHAL: "Well, given the history of Trump nominees, I think it is slim to none that we would support a nominee from this administration." GALLEGO: "No, we’ve got to do exactly what McConnell did to us." I asked SCHUMER how he'd handle a potential Trump SCOTUS nominee: "One of the reasons we want to do everything we can to take back the Senate is not let Trump put such horrible justices — MAGA justices — on the Supreme Court and the lower courts." Court stakes are high in the 2026 battle for Senate control, as Alito admits he's thought about retirement. nbcnews.com/politics/congres…

Some Democrats don’t expect to fill a Supreme Court vacancy under Trump

Democrats need a net gain of four seats to capture the Senate. If so, they’d control what happens in a vacancy, as Justice Samuel Alito admits he’s thought about retirement.

Excellent @nytimes article on the economic meltdown in Iran. The regime isn’t paying nurses and teachers who are quitting to survive. Pensioners are no longer getting their pensions. The blockade and US sanctions are exacting a heavy toll… nytimes.com/2026/10/04/world… via @NYTimes

Iran’s Top Security Official Warns of Dire Economic Crisis

The rare admission from Mohsen Rezaei, the security chief, came weeks after the U.S. tightened sanctions and its naval blockade.

EXCLUSIVE: Sources tell me the Washington Commanders are planning to change their primary logo for the 2027 season And that logo is a familiar one: the team’s new alternate W logo with a spear running through it, unveiled in April with their new black “Hail Raiser” uniform I’m also told there are no plans for further changes to Washington’s branding in 2027 *as of now* Here’s more + why I think the switch is a smart move👇

🚨🇮🇱 The TERRIFYING plunge of the FlyDubai flight... A flight carrying 174 people, including 27 children, dropped 14,125 feet in just 29 seconds (!!) this AM. The co-pilot allegedly forced the aircraft into a dive after attacking the captain, before passengers and crew (including undercover special forces) regained control. The plane ultimately landed safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. Thank God... 🙏 Writer: Samuel

🚨🇮🇱🇦🇪 UPDATE: Israel is treating the incident aboard FlyDubai flight FZ1073 this AM as a TERRORIST ATTACK! The co-pilot apparently STABBED the captain of the plane mid-flight, repeatedly... Crew members and passengers then managed to break down the cockpit door and subdue the attacker. The co-pilot is being interrogated now... earlier unconfirmed reports suggested the pilots were Russian and Ukrainian. This is FALSE. Channel 12 is reporting the individual is of OMANI descent. It's believed he intended to take control of the plane and CRASH it with around 150 Israeli passengers on board. A horrifying tragedy, narrowly avoided... Source: @AmitSegal / Writer: Michael

Pilots in civilian clothes who were passengers landed the plane! Passenger testimony: “We are currently in Saudi Arabia. One of the crew members attacked the pilot with a knife and disabled the aircraft’s systems. Yaniv and another passenger stormed the cockpit and subdued the attacker. Luckily, there were two more pilots on board. They were the ones who managed to land the plane.”
