    Calls for Investigations Into Trump’s Narcissistic Midterm Ads Pile Up (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, has joined other Democrats this week in demanding answers about President Trump’s midterms campaign ads — which promote nothing but himself — and the apparent use of taxpayer dollars to finance them. I wrote earlier this week about the top Democratic appropriators in Congress calling for investigations into the ads and confirming reports that the White House moved some $20 million in taxpayer funds out of the Department

    Dems Block Data Center Bill Designed to Boost Husted’s Campaign: ‘A Proxy for Corruption’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) has some major data center skeletons in his closet from his time as lieutenant governor of Ohio. He knows it, his Democratic challenger — the longtime Ohio elected official Sherrod Brown — knows it, his colleagues in the Senate know it, voters back home are well aware (thanks to an ad blitz from Brown’s campaign in recent months).

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    House and Senate Democratic appropriators are unleashing on the Trump administration and confirming reports that the Trump White House moved taxpayer money out of Customs and Border Patrol to fund midterms advertisements running on major broadcast airwaves that promote President Trump.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

This has taken different forms. Only half of the Republican candi

    Chicago Mayor Bets on Political Potency Of Data Center Resistance (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson officially kicked off his reelection campaign last Sunday for the Feb. 23, 2027 mayoral election where he will face a crowded field of challengers. At least 14 people have announced their intention to run for mayor of the Windy City, though that number is expected to drop once nominating petition filing deadlines pass in late October. I’m talking to you about the Chicago mayoral race because, in one of his most sweeping actions he’s taken since launching his reelect
