Democrat-Aligned Group Backs Spoiler Candidates In Swing States
A super PAC the GOP warns is linked to Democrats is funding third-party candidates in Iowa and other states, a move that could be a “spoiler” effort to take critical votes away from Republicans in tight races. Principled Patriots PAC drew scrutiny this week for backing third-party candidates in a series of states with competitive Senate races between Republicans and Democrats, including Iowa, Texas, Alaska, Kansas, Ohio, and Michigan. Principled Patriots is also backing multiple third-party candidates in tight House races nationwide, including Colorado and North Carolina. The PAC got all its money in Q3 from Building America, a super PAC that got all its money in Q3 from Rapid Resist Action, a Democrat-aligned nonprofit. The group is supporting candidates such as Thomas Laehn in Iowa and Ted Brown in Texas.

Article III Project Aims Ads At Midterms And Warns Of Communist Islamist Threat
The Article III Project, run by Mike Davis, has plans to release a digital ad a day until the Nov. 3 election warning voters of a “red-green alliance” between communist and Islamic sympathizers taking over the Democrat Party. “Two twisted ideologies. One shared goal: Gain the power to conquer America and establish the communist caliphate,” says the first ad, being released Friday. Mr. Davis said red is the color of communism and green symbolizes Islamists. The videos will target figures he says embody the alliance, such as New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), and Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed. “Communists want your country. Islamists want your faith,” Mr. Davis said. “They hate America, and they’ve figured out they’re stronger when they march together.” Article III will feature the video messages on its social media accounts, supported by a five-figure ad buy.
Florida Election Report Claims 1827 Noncitizens Removed From Voter Rolls Cast 7035 Ballots
A new investigation by a coalition of Florida election-integrity organizations claims that 1,827 noncitizens removed from the state’s voter rolls cast 7,035 ballots between 2020 and the second quarter of 2026. A Joint Task Force of Florida election integrity groups examined voter registration and voting histories across all 67 Florida counties. The coalition reported 5,612 noncitizens removed from Florida’s rolls during the period examined. Of those, 1,827 allegedly cast a combined 7,035 ballots. Florida’s Office of Election Crimes and Security referred approximately 600 individuals. The report warns that ballots attributed to individuals later removed from the rolls could be significant in tightly contested elections. The latest findings follow a major election fraud crackdown announced by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and Attorney General James Uthmeier last month, in which 16 defendants were noncitizens accused of falsely declaring themselves U.S. citizens before casting ballots.

Kristi Noem Leaves Special Envoy Role But Remains Involved In Western Hemisphere Security Initiative
Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is no longer serving as President Donald Trump’s special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative but will remain involved in the administration’s efforts to strengthen security cooperation across the Western Hemisphere. Noem’s special envoy designation expired last month, shortly before the United Nations General Assembly. “Kristi Noem’s envoy status expired last month, and she is no longer in the role,” a State Department official said. “She is now a senior advisor to Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau and continues to work on the Shield of the Americas portfolio.” Trump selected Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) to lead DHS in March, moving Noem from the Cabinet position to the special envoy role. The initiative focuses on building cooperation between the United States and countries across Latin America and the Caribbean to combat transnational criminal organizations and drug cartels.
Trump Administration Advances Plan For Peptide Drugs Favored By RFK Jr
U.S. health officials are moving ahead with a plan to let specialty pharmacies produce certain peptides, a largely unregulated class of injections popular among followers of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other wellness influencers. Kennedy’s Department of Health & Human Services submitted an interim peptides access policy to the White House for review. The plan was sent to the Office of Management and Budget. The filing doesn’t provide specifics, but people familiar with the plan say it aims to allow pharmacies to temporarily compound some of the most popular peptides, including BPC-157, a chemical promoted to build muscle and heal injuries. The FDA previously placed BPC-157 and more than a dozen other injectable peptides on its list of substances too risky to be compounded. Possible risks include contamination, allergic reactions, and tumor growth. The new policy would assure compounding pharmacies they won’t be targeted for producing certain peptides.
Editor’s Note: This marks a major step toward the future of medicine. Peptides and stem cells are the future of treating and curing even terminal diseases.
Feds Target North Korean Laptop Farms Allegedly Funding Nuclear And Missile Programs
Federal agents raided 40 North Texas locations and seized more than 180 laptops allegedly used to let North Korean operatives pose as American remote workers, funneling earnings to a regime whose nuclear and missile programs are funded by the scheme. The Department of Justice announced coordinated actions including an indictment, two arrests, and the seizure of approximately 187 computer devices. “North Korea’s rogue regime uses its pervasive IT worker schemes to raise revenue for various illicit purposes, including the development of weapons that could ultimately target the United States or its allies,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. The scheme affected more than 70 U.S. companies. Michael James Bostelle of Pennsylvania and Juan Cecilio Pena Carrillo of Texas were arrested on charges of wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft. The U.S. Treasury estimated that more than $800 million was sent to North Korea in fiscal year 2024.

AOC Claims Trump Administration Does Not Want Women To Go To College
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blasted the Trump administration, saying the Department of Education’s rule limiting student loan programs targets women-dominated fields. “I want to be very clear that what the Trump administration is doing, specifically, is attacking women’s ability to get an education,” Ocasio-Cortez said Thursday during the “It Shouldn’t Be This Hard” town hall in Escanaba, Michigan, with Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed. “Because they put down that list on what they’re making harder, what they’re not going to give people student loans for, and it’s nurses, it’s teachers, it’s social workers,” Ocasio-Cortez said. “They don’t want women to go to college.” Under the DOE’s new rule, the Student Tuition and Transparency System and Earnings Accountability, announced in June, undergraduate programs must show that their graduates earn more than those without a college degree. Women now vastly outnumber men on American college campuses.
Wisconsin Democrat’s Number One Priority As Secretary Of State Is Driver’s Licenses For Illegal Immigrants
JoCasta Zamarripa, the Democratic nominee for Wisconsin secretary of state, told WMTV that her top priority if elected is getting driver’s licenses for people in the country illegally, and she wants David Crowley to be the governor who signs them into law. “My number one priority is to see the governor sign driver’s licenses for undocumented Wisconsinites into law. And I hope that that governor will be David Crowley,” she said. Zamarripa, a Milwaukee alderman and five-term former Assembly member, has pushed driver card bills for undocumented immigrants for years, and none became law. Wisconsin has barred undocumented immigrants from getting licenses since a law took effect in 2007. The job she is running for wouldn’t change that. Wisconsin’s secretary of state doesn’t issue driver’s licenses. Crowley has said, “When it comes to immigration, I’m not an ally; I’m an accomplice.”
California Judge Orders Reinstatement Of Green Card Lottery Suspended By Trump Administration
A California federal judge ruled that the US State Department must reinstate its Diversity Immigrant Visa lottery for fiscal year 2027 by Friday. The lottery must be open by Oct. 18, with registration lasting through Nov. 19, Judge Jinsook Ohta of the US District Court for the Southern District of California said Wednesday as she issued a preliminary injunction. President Joe Biden appointed Ohta. The program offers permanent residence to up to 55,000 applicants annually from countries with historically lower levels of immigration to the US. The Trump administration suspended the program last December after a Portuguese national who received a visa through the program was suspected of killing four people in two separate shootings in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. The individual was subsequently found dead by suicide. California-based immigration law firm Red Eagle Law LC sued the State Department to resume the program.
Editor’s Note: Immigration falls under the Executive Branch, which includes the State Dept. The federal judiciary is way outside its lane.

Supreme Court Leaves Self-Described Antifa Member Jailed Before Trial
The Supreme Court this week turned down an emergency request to let Kyle Wagner, a 37-year-old self-described Antifa member from Minneapolis, out of jail before his trial. Wagner is charged in federal court in Michigan with one count of cyberstalking and one count of transmitting interstate threats. Both counts stem from his dealings with a man identified in court documents as J.S., a pro-ICE social media figure. Prosecutors say Wagner doxxed J.S. and wrote that “we can all knock on strangers’ doors.” He declared that Minneapolis was “kill or be killed” and told followers to “hunt” ICE. A magistrate judge first ordered him held. U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood released him with conditions. A divided Sixth Circuit panel reversed her. Judge Whitney Hermandorfer, appointed by President Trump, wrote the majority opinion. The Supreme Court denied the stay request without dissent.

Israeli Military Raises Alert Level As Iran Tells Hezbollah To Prepare For War
The Israel Defense Forces is on high alert as Iran instructs its Lebanon-based terror proxy Hezbollah to prepare for war. “Israel has raised its military alert level and is preparing for the possibility of renewed fighting with Iran at short notice,” Ynetnews reported. The IDF is closely monitoring developments in Iran and preparing to return to combat quickly if necessary. IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir warned that Israel faces growing threats across all fronts. “In light of the increased number of alerts across all fronts and the sensitivity of this period, the potential for escalation has grown,” Zamir said. The Iranian regime told Hezbollah leaders to be prepared for the United States to resume the war with Iran. Iran’s message was: “We estimate that an American attack is a matter of time – you should also be prepared.” Hezbollah is decentralizing its command structure to sustain operations even if its top leadership is eliminated.
US Companies Become Main Fuel Supplier To Cuba Amid Surge In Private Sector Exports
U.S. companies reportedly through August exported $231.7 million in fuel to private companies in Cuba, making the United States the main fuel supplier to Cuba. The Miami Herald reported the amount on Monday and said the deals are happening as the Trump administration continues to block oil shipments to the island’s government. The administration, after capturing Cuban leader Nicolás Maduro in January, cut off Cuba’s oil supply, stopping shipments from Venezuela and pressing Mexico to halt deliveries. Fuel sales to Cuba were minimal until February this year, when the Trump administration allowed U.S. fuel sales to Cuba’s private sector. They have grown so rapidly that, in August, fuel exports outpaced food exports to the island. That month, food and agricultural exports totaled $60.1 million, compared with $74.8 million in fuels.
Conservative Japanese Governor Approves Controversial US Aircraft Deployment On Okinawa
In a “thumbs up” signal to American forces in Okinawa, the newly minted prefectural governor approved the deployment of U.S. aircraft long opposed on the Japanese island less than 500 miles from China. Okinawa Gov. Genta Koja said Friday that he accepted the deployment of Osprey aircraft used by U.S. Marines in the prefecture. “More than 10 years have passed since the deployment,” he said. “Considering that the Self-Defense Forces operate the aircraft, it is not realistic to call for a reversal of their deployment or use.” Previous governors had opposed using the aircraft, citing its crash risk. Mr. Koja won the gubernatorial seat on Sept. 30, ousting two-term Gov. Denny Tamaki. Mr. Koja has connections to the Liberal Democratic Party of conservative Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The Osprey has a spotty safety record and has suffered two crashes in and off Japan.
Peru’s Keiko Fujimori Moves To Deport All Illegal Venezuelan Immigrants
Keiko Fujimori is moving to strengthen immigration enforcement, announcing plans to coordinate deportations of all illegal Venezuelan immigrants directly with Venezuela’s acting president, Delcy Rodríguez. Yesterday, Fujimori announced that she had spoken with Rodríguez to coordinate the expulsion of illegal Venezuelan nationals and support Venezuela’s Vuelta a la Patria repatriation program. “I had a call with the president of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, to address cooperation between our countries, initiate support for her 'Vuelta a la Patria' plan, as well as coordinate the processes of expelling undocumented Venezuelan citizens from Peru, " said Fujimori. The two countries’ foreign ministries are working on protocols for air transfers. The announcement comes as Peru confronts a serious public security crisis, with authorities battling extortion networks and transnational criminal organizations, including Venezuelan-origin gang Tren de Aragua.
DSA Plots To Stop Weapons Shipments To Israel At JFK Airport
The New York City chapter of Democratic Socialists of America is signaling plans to “stop” overseas arms shipments from John F. Kennedy International Airport. A new DSA “Break the Chain” campaign is having its first mass meeting on Saturday to discuss achieving “a people’s arms embargo” against Israel. The DSA aims to host all the pro-Palestinian “orgs and workers” it can in New York to strategize on the upcoming actions. The campaign did not specify exactly what those efforts would entail, but it has already taken credit for a July 2025 picketing demonstration outside the airport that reportedly prompted a lockdown of certain areas. “Our pressure target is JFK Airport, through which hazardous cargo is shipped to Israel to commit genocide and endless wars of aggression,” the Saturday meeting’s description says. “The workers who move cargo at JFK didn’t sign up to arm a genocide,” reads the “Break the Chain” website. “But they can choose to stop it.”
