"Everything we love is on the line" in the US election. I argue that President Trump has systematically undone the strategy that since the 19th century has made the US the world's leading country. He has eroded our sources of greatness. So what's at stake isn't just affordability or data centers or the Iran war. It's America's future: nytimes.com/2026/10/24/opi…

63 days. That's how long the Epstein Files discharge petition sat un-signed. Because Ashley Hinson refused to step up and sign it and get the files released. In other news, Ashley Hinson accepted $90,000 from billionaires who appear in the Epstein files.

I voted to release the Epstein files and have spent years working across the aisle to protect survivors of sexual abuse. Men like Epstein, who hurt children, they’ll have to answer to God. But men who lie about it to win an election, they’ll have to answer to you.

The House should return to DC immediately to work to pause diesel exports, suspend the gas tax, fully unleash E15 and biodiesel, and work on a diesel relief program for truckers and farmers. Americans need relief and I’ll work with anyone to deliver.

Rep. Ashley Hinson has voted against House resolutions directing President Trump to halt the war with Iran six times, including as recently as last week. But on Monday, the Republican Senate candidate called for an “immediate end” to the conflict. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-…

i’ve never seen canadians—politically left, right and center—so angry with the united states as right now many americans don’t care or know why it matters. but long term the united states benefits greatly from deep and trusted international relationships. and none have been closer (and closely integrated) than us-canada

@AdamKinzinger The President is in a tough spot. If he wants to keep enriching himself and his family, he must keep the Republicans in control of the House and Senate in November. Screwing over American cattle producers was the only option.

The House will pass a $12 billion bailout for farmers suffering from high fuel & fertilizer prices caused by the Iran War, expensive equipment & parts caused by tariffs, and lower sales prices for commodities due to trade disputes with China. But the GOP is fighting communism!

Regular reminder that Donald Trump’s core competency is not dealmaking with powerful counter-parties. It is duping gullible victims.

Abraham Lincoln got shot in the head and still managed to keep the country together. Franklin Roosevelt ran the entire Second World War from a wheelchair. Eisenhower defeated Hitler and then, just to stay busy, built 48,000 miles of motorway. Kennedy looked at the moon, said “we’ll have that,” and inside a decade they did. Reagan stared down the Soviet Union until it simply gave up and went home. Two hundred and fifty years. Forty-six men. Men who stormed beaches, split atoms, faced down nuclear annihilation over breakfast and then filed sensible paperwork about it afterward. And then, after all of that, the entire accumulated weight of American history, the most consequential democratic experiment the world has ever seen, produced this. A television review. No Mars landing. No cure for cancer. No Soviet empire dissolved before lunch. Just a man in the White House, in the year 2026, informing the internet that a CBS chat show host had no talent. That is what 250 years of American greatness built. America should be deeply, permanently ashamed of itself. If you like what you read, follow Gandalv on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/gandalv

To understand how wrong & corrupt this is, imagine President Obama picked his personal lawyer to be Attorney General. And then imagine Obama & his AG set up a $1.8 billion taxpayer-funded slush fund to reward his political friends & go after his political enemies. And imagine Obama set it up with no outside accountability or oversight, but instead his AG appointed 5 “friends of Obama” to oversee the fund. If Obama had done that, it would be unprecedented, corrupt, & wrong, correct? And Hannity & the rest of Fox News would be screaming, correct?
