Black state lawmakers in Michigan have urged the state attorney general and a county prosecutor to investigate GOP U.S. House candidate Tom Barrett over a newspaper ad in a Black-owned publication that listed the wrong date for Election Day. The Michigan Legislative Black Caucus claims that the Barrett campaign may have violated state law by placing an ad in the Michigan Bulletin, a Black-owned newspaper serving Lansing, which instructed voters to cast their ballots on November 6, despite Election Day being November 5. Barrett is running against Democrat Curtis Hertel in a competitive race for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, currently…
In Arizona’s third most-populous county, a Republican supervisor responsible for certifying the November election results has claimed that county officials conspired to ensure his defeat in the primary race for sheriff—a theory that independent investigators have since dismissed. Despite this, Pinal County Supervisor Kevin Cavanaugh announced at a recent board meeting that he was approving the election results “under duress.” Since former President Donald Trump and his allies began spreading baseless claims of widespread fraud following his 2020 loss, allegations of election misconduct have persisted in key battleground states. Alongside these claims, disputes have emerged over voting procedures and the…

Sosnik explained on the “CNN Political Briefing” podcast with David Chalian that former President Donald Trump’s rise over the last three election cycles accelerated a political realignment based on education—a shift that had been building…
New York Times: Trump made offensive remark about Harris’ mental acuity at dinner with donors Former President Donald Trump reportedly referred to Vice President Kamala Harris with an offensive term while urging top Republican donors to contribute more to his campaign, according to a Saturday report from The New York Times.

Hezbollah publicly endorses Lebanon ceasefire efforts for the first time as Israel ramps up offensive Hezbollah has expressed support for efforts to secure a ceasefire in Lebanon, a senior official stated on Tuesday.

Israel’s last war against Hezbollah ended in stalemate. Fierce border clashes suggest a win won’t be easy Ziv Hospital, located in northern Israel, is on high alert. Non-urgent surgeries have been postponed, staff are being encouraged to donate blood as needed, and all patients, including newborns in the maternity ward, have been relocated to underground facilities.
