There is only one reason he backed out of rallies in Kansas and Iowa - he thinks the GOP are going to lose the races and he doesn't want to be associated with the losses.
🚨 Trump just CANCELED his Saturday rally in Kansas — and his Sunday rally in Iowa — days before the midterms. Officially, he says he doesn’t need to go. But speculation is already swirling that health or exhaustion may be behind his sudden retreat from the campaign trail. Four days to Election Day. What’s really going on? 🤨

I can't stand the new Fed chairman. He's condescending, uninformative, and evasive. He needs to quit.

Orbán gone. The Bolsonaros gone. Vucic gone. Netanyahu so desperate to avoid facing the criminal courts of his country if he loses the upcoming election that he's trying to incite a nuclear war. Americans can do their part to stem the toxic tide of global fascism on November 3.
BREAKING: Putin just lost another ally in Europe, and people are celebrating in the streets. Aleksandar Vucic, Serbia’s authoritarian leader and close ally of Trump and Putin, has officially conceded defeat in a historic snap parliamentary election. The student-led opposition movement has won, ending more than a decade of Vucic’s grip on power. Voter turnout reached nearly 70%, the highest since the breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992.

Today, 62 former U.S. ambassadors and national security leaders endorsed my campaign for U.S. Senate. Their service spans five decades under Democratic and Republican presidents. Many were confirmed by Senator Collins herself. Their letter calls out her five votes to let Trump continue the war with Iran and her votes to confirm the officials carrying out his tariff agenda—decisions that are driving up costs for Maine families. I’m honored to have their support. Mainers deserve a senator who will stand up for them.

One of the most surprising and delightful shows I've watched in the last 5 years. Highly recommend.
ORPHAN BLACK I know it's not actually an HBO series, but since they just added it, I feel like it deserves to be mentioned. It's genuinely one of the best original shows of the past decade with one of THE best lead performances of the 21st century!

Does anyone have a clue as to what is actually happening in Dark Matter right now? I'm hopelessly lost.

Everyone needs to know what actually happened in Serbia. Instead of students just protest against their government, the students organized themselves into a student list and ran in elections against their government—and they have just won. Dear Serbia, congratulations on your victory; you have just opened a new door in protesting. This is history
