Today, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, students from Southern University, with their band, thank you, second lined to the polls. A friend alerted me to this event and I was able to attend. Inspiring.

More than 4,500 measles cases have been reported in the U.S. in 2026, 16 times the number reported in 2024. At least five people have died this year, according to Pennsylvania's health department.

I voted for the farmer.

Thank you to HisPAC for your support and for the work you do to make election information accessible and encourage our communities to make their voices heard. I’m running to represent everyone in Louisiana’s 1st District, and I’m grateful to have you with us.

I voted for the teacher.

Pop quiz: How many times has Steve Scalise voted to raise the minimum wage? Protect Social Security? Stand up to corporate insurance companies raising our rates? Zero. Zero. Zero. In my classroom, that's a failing grade. It should be in Congress too. Watch my video 👇 bit.ly/LaurenJewettPopQuiz

A little bit of fun chaos in Fairbanks, Alaska, as a taunting Nazi gets chased by people in costumes. And here's his face for all the world to see.

Trump claims the billion+ dollars he's spending on White House renovations is "peanuts"

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Louisiana Early Voting Mon Oct 26 and Tue Oct 27. They can't silence your vote. I suggest the farmer, Jamie Davis for Senator and the teacher, Lauren Jewett to replace Steve Scalise, LA-1.

Early voting is closed today but reopens first thing Monday morning. Tuesday is the last day to vote early in Louisiana. Don't wait until the last minute. Get her done Monday. jamieforlouisiana.com www.laurenjewett.com

Trump: "Ilhan Omar's name is not Ilhan Omar…She comes from one of the worst countries." Person in crowd: "Send her back!" Trump: "Haha, she said, 'Send her back!' Well that could, stranger things."

This supercut is likely to make Trump VERY upset. The difference between Trump and Obama is on full display, and the contrast is absolutely devastating. Watch until the end...

Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"
