Florida is still red. But if Republicans treat that fact like a permission slip to sleep through the final two weeks, they may wake up to the biggest political shock of 2026.

Fox News has moved the governor’s race between Republican Byron Donalds and Democrat David Jolly from Likely Republican to Lean Republican.

Fox still favors Donalds. The new rating warns that the race in President Trump’s home state has become competitive enough that a serious upset can no longer be dismissed.

The reason Fox highlighted should command every Republican’s attention: Hispanic support for the GOP appears to be sliding after becoming a central part of Trump’s winning Florida coalition.

Donalds went on Fox and rejected the premise. He said his campaign’s internal numbers show Hispanic support growing, not shrinking, and that support among voters overall is moving his way.

One of those assessments will be proven right on November 3. The margin between them is the entire story.

Far-left activists and youths of migrant descent were among those involved in two days of violent unrest in central Milan, Italy, that injured 14 law enforcement officers, triggered mass looting, and caused more than €1 million in commercial damage.

On October 21, an Italian judge validated the arrest of five adults and 11 minors – including an 11-year-old child – finding that the young suspects had knowingly participated in violent destruction and looting following a weekend of brutal urban warfare that paralyzed central Milan.

“Despite being very young and understandably appearing confused and frightened during the validation hearing, when they found themselves at the center of an action whose profoundly violent, destructive, and looting nature they could not have failed to understand, they did not distance themselves from it. On the contrary, swept up by the excitement of being able to enter a store and take shoes and clothing without paying for them, they acted in full concert with the other demonstrators,” Investigating Judge Fabrizio Filice declared.

The violent demonstration “does not appear to revolve around any specific social grievance,” but rather seems aimed at “the deliberate objective of unleashing indiscriminate and uncontrolled violence,” Filice added. The Milan Public Prosecutor’s Office emphasized that the demonstrators showed “no hesitation in resorting to violence or taking part in the unrest in the streets,” thereby displaying a “significant criminal propensity” through “sudden acts of destruction and rare violence.”

While speaking to Rep.

What would you say is priority number one, legislatively? What’s the plan to get it done, knowing that you’re going to have to have President Trump either veto it or sign it into law? What’s number one?”

Davis responded, “What I’ve been — begin to hear on all sides, whether they be Republican or Democrats, affordability costs, and as I said, survival. If you are a seventh-generation farmer and you are wondering right now if you can keep that farm, that family farm going, that’s what this is about. And we cannot lose focus. We should, everyone, show up in the 120th Congress, laser-focused on helping to address costs. These are the concerns I’m hearing. I hear it from our farmers. I hear it from commercial fishermen. Right now, the price of fuel is so high. And we have to make sure that we are addressing the issues that are on the minds of the American people. And if we’re just saying this around election time, and then typical politicians show up and do anything else, then we’re doing a disservice to the families that we are elected to serve.”

A frightening hazardous materials emergency unfolded in northern Toledo late Tuesday night after a chemical leak at an industrial facility triggered a massive emergency response, forcing residents to evacuate their homes as a thick haze blanketed surrounding roadways.

The incident occurred near Enterprise Boulevard and Progress Avenue at the Sterling Pipe & Tube facility, where emergency responders rushed to contain an unidentified hazardous material release.

According to an official statement from the City of Toledo, Toledo Fire & Rescue ordered the evacuation of everyone within a one-mile radius of 1050 Progress Avenue at approximately 10:48 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20.

The emergency initially prompted a smaller, half-mile evacuation zone before officials expanded the perimeter to one mile as the situation developed.

Residents in the affected neighborhoods were instructed to leave immediately as hazardous materials teams descended on the area.

According to WTOL 11, Sterling Pipe & Tube was evacuated as authorities worked to identify the chemical and assess the danger to surrounding communities.

The industrial emergency also disrupted nearby businesses and transportation routes. Roads were closed, nearby rail traffic was suspended, and workers at the Toledo Assembly complex reportedly evacuated late Tuesday night.

Videos circulating online appeared to show severely reduced visibility on roadways, raising concerns about the extent of the chemical release.

ANALYSIS: Democrat professors outnumber Republican colleagues 28 to 1 in Pennsylvania political science departments

Professors registered as Democrats outnumber colleagues registered as Republicans by a 28 to one ratio in political science departments across six Pennsylvania universities, a College Fix analysis found.

The analysis reviewed the political science departments at the University of Pennsylvania, Temple University, Carnegie Mellon University, University of Pittsburgh, West Chester University, and Penn State University.

At four of the six — University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon, Temple, and West Chester — zero registered Republican professors could be found. At Penn State, one was identified. At the University of Pittsburgh, two were found.

The Fix identified the affiliation of 101 professors after reviewing 147 professors in political science departments at some of Pennsylvania’s largest universities. The Fix based its analysis on voter registration data from the counties in which the universities are located.

The breakdown was 84 Democrats, three Republicans, and 14 third-party or unaffiliated, including one socialist. The rest, 46, could not be found in the voter rolls.

By percentages, 3 percent of identified professors are registered Republicans, and 83 percent are registered Democrats.

The analysis only includes professors, not adjuncts, lecturers, emeriti, or non-teaching staff.

EXCERPT:

Fairfax County is the 5th richest county in the entire United States and “has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation.”

A new interim House Judiciary Committee report, released Tuesday, says the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office in Virginia ignored at least 1,670 ICE detainers from 2023 to 2025 and freed criminal illegal aliens instead of handing them over to federal authorities. It also alleges that Fairfax County Commonwealth Attorney Steve Descano treated illegal immigrant defendants more leniently than citizens to protect them from consequences regarding immigration. Fairfax County is the 5th richest county in the entire United States.

“This interim report provides evidence of the ways in which just one local jurisdiction has implemented policies that allow dangerous foreign nationals to reoffend and avoid deportation,” the Judiciary report from the Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement revealed. “But Fairfax County and prosecutor Steve Descano are not outliers. They are indicative of a modern, radical, socialist Democrat Party that seeks to erase national borders and place illegal alien criminals ahead of law-abiding American citizens. The policies supported by these Democrats, including sanctuary policies, will have negative and lasting consequences for Americans. The Committee and Subcommittee will continue to conduct oversight of these sanctuary policies to inform potential legislative reforms to better protect American communities.”

I don’t know how Leslie stays in California.

The Trump administration asked a court for a temporary restraining order to stop California from counting 20,000 ballots from people the feds believe aren’t legally allowed to vote.

Most of those people live in Los Angeles County.

Monica Flores, an assistant registrar-recorder for the Candidate and Voter
Services Bureau of the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk, wrote a declaration to oppose the TRO.

Flores made a shocking admission (emphasis mine):

The DOJ’s proposed order would also require the Registrar to verify the citizenship of each affected voter. The Registrar is not equipped or authorized to verify voter citizenship because it does not independently house citizenship-related information beyond the voter attestation as identified in federal and state law (such as, among other things, immigration records, travel records, naturalization records, etc.) and certainly is not equipped to do so within the election period. California has not authorized use of the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) program for the 2026 General Election, and the Registrar has no direct access to federal citizenship data. The DOJ has not explained what information would be provided to the Registrar to assist with this determination nor described any process by which the Registrar would be given information or authority such that it could verify citizenship. Further, while the DOJ has stated that it would also verify citizenship, it has stated, despite its investigative authority, it cannot investigate the people on its list before the election concludes. It is not clear how Los Angeles County, in the middle of the election cycle, would be better positioned to verify U.S. citizenship than the Federal Government or that it has any identified authority to do so. And it is certainly not clear how Los Angeles County can be expected to complete this verification within the election period when the government itself has stated it cannot do so.

Nearly one in five freshmen at the University of California are flunking introductory math classes amid widespread calls from faculty to reinstate standardized testing requirements for admissions.

About 18 percent of students either withdrew or received a D or F grade during the 2025-26 school year. This share has nearly doubled from 2020-21, “the last year that the SAT and ACT were required for first-year admission,” according to EdSource.

Further, UC students averaged a GPA of 2.7 in introductory math classes in 2025-26. Students averaged a 3.18 in 2020-21.

However, “Failure rates vary widely across UC’s nine undergraduate campuses, skyrocketing at some while remaining mostly flat at others,” according to EdSource.

UC Merced showed the highest failure or withdrawal rate at 36 percent, while UC Santa Barbara recorded the lowest, at just 8.2 percent.

In response to the new data, a Republican state leader told The New York Post that “California can’t grade their way out of an education crisis.”

During his three-decade career as a Marine, Sen. Dan Sullivan lived out the Marine Corps’ motto, Semper Fidelis, “always faithful,” retiring as a colonel in 2024 after several deployments across the Middle East and Asia.

But now, in a reelection bid, the Alaskan senator is receiving no such loyalty from a Democrat, Chuck Schumer-aligned super PAC that claims to help “veterans and national security experts win elected office.” Rather than supporting a decorated veteran, Schumer’s VoteVets is opting to rally behind Democrats, including Sullivan’s opponent, former Rep. Mary Peltola and Iowa state Rep. Josh Turek, neither of whom served in the military.

Sullivan’s race for reelection against Peltola is as tight as they come. A recent RealClearPolling average has the Democrat up by 1.2 points, while other polls have Sullivan, a Republican, leading by as much as 3 points. VoteVets, meanwhile, has poured hundreds of thousands of dollars into attacks against Sullivan and hosted an event with Peltola. Additionally, the Democrat organization spent millions launching Turek and helped him secure the Democrat nomination.

Vice President JD Vance highlighted Sullivan’s service during a campaign rally in Fairbanks last week, introducing Sullivan as “a guy who cares about whether he fights for the men and women of this state. That is Marine Corps veteran and your great senator, Dan Sullivan.”

During his three-decade military career, Sullivan was deployed to the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, the Middle East, the Horn of Africa, and Central Asia. Sullivan served on a 2013 Joint Task Force in Afghanistan targeting terrorist networks in the Taliban.

“I’m Alaska’s junior U.S. Senator, but with the exception of husband and father, the title ‘Marine’ is my proudest achievement. Always has been. Always will be,” Sullivan said in a statement at the time of his retirement.

EXCERPT:

Despite the climate we see on Mars today, scientists now agree it was warmer and wetter 3.5 to 4.1 billion years ago, during the Noachian and Hesperian eras. Evidence of this first emerged with the first robotic probes to explore Mars, but became undeniable with the arrival of landers and surface rovers, i.e., Viking 1 and 2, Curiosity, and Perseverance. This has raised the question of whether Mars could have hosted life during this period, most likely in the form of microbial organisms.

Hoping to shed light on this, a research team led by scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo created a global map showing where ancient rains may have delivered an important prebiotic molecule, formaldehyde (H₂CO), across the planet billions of years ago. This map could help guide future astrobiology efforts on Mars by directing robotic and crewed missions to sites where evidence of past life could still be preserved.

The research was led by Dr. Shungo Koyama, an astrobiologist at the Institute of Science Tokyo and Research Fellow at Tohoku University. He and his colleagues (from both institutions) were joined by researchers from the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo, the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington, and the Royal Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB).

The research, which appeared in The Planetary Science Journal, builds on previous work that showed how H₂CO could form in the atmosphere. When combined with water, formaldehyde can serve as a precursor molecule for chemical reactions that produce sugars, amino acids, and other complex organic molecules that give rise to life. The one remaining question was, where on Mars would formaldehyde have reached the surface?

In Saint-Denis suburb on Monday, I met Lisa Cordat, of the FSE student union. She told me that students organised themselves for demos via social media messaging or through student-led organisations. She said it was “insulting” to suggest they were being manipulated or “told to do this, or do that” by politicians.

“Student anger comes from the ground up,” says Lisa.

But there is also a palpable frustration amongst many in France at what they see as the politicisation of Saturday’s violence. Lina, who is 25, told me: “Politicians are hunting for scapegoats but don’t ask why it all happened. The root causes of Saturday. We feel scared and abandoned.”

France’s leading politicians have indulged in a festival of finger-pointing since Saturday.

The presidential election here in six months’ time is hotly contested and the volatility on French streets funneled immediately into France’s already febrile politics.

Mélenchon, currently running in second place in most polls, ahead of centrist candidates, accused France’s centrist Prime Minister of being “responsible for the chaos” either due to “incompetence or a worst-case strategy.”

Mélonchon went on to apparently imply Mr Lecornu may have allowed the violence to unfold, so as to position itself as a “party of order”, after Saturday’s lawlessness, “that would make people forget his failure in public finances.”

France is struggling with spiralling public debt and government borrowing costs.

“Well, look, that’s manufactured outrage. That’s his specialty. I think the — the thing that I’ve heard from my own Republican colleagues and peers, including like interns and folks who work around the Hill who come to our events, they’ll tell you, like I, you know, I was worried. My parents were worried. You know, it’s really messy. I’m not sure what to get involved in. Politics in general has become messy. But, you know, when you’re being forced by this administration, for instance, to sign a contract that is given over to a company that Trump Jr. is on the board of, and you know that that’s a problem. Like, my point is, do not get yourself involved in illegal activity.

It’s the same thing I was talking about a year ago. Whether you’re the uniformed military or a civilian in government, if you’re being asked to do something by the President or his team that’s illegal, you have a responsibility to reject that. That is my point, and that was the point I was trying to make.”

Democrat U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico attended an event in Irving, Texas, that was dedicated to speaking with the Muslim community.

Talarico held a meet-and-greet with the Muslim Democrat Caucus of Irving, where he met with Richardson Mayor Amir Omar, Councilman Fahad Ahmed of Irving, state Rep. Salman Bhojani, and Nima Bhojani.

The event, held at a halal barbecue restaurant, Kafi Barbeque, aligns with Talarico’s record of supporting Islamic ideology and acting on behalf of that community.

Amy Mek, founder and editor-in-chief of RAIR Foundation USA, highlighted some of Talarico’s past Islamic advocacy in an X post. She noted that Talarico is endorsed by Emgage Action, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit “advocating for Muslim American communities,” which has links to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR.

Talarico, who serves in the Texas Legislature, authored and helped push House Bill 2039 in 2021, legislation intended to strip explicit naming of Christian ministers and Jewish rabbis from marriage law so imams could perform marriage ceremonies. The bill was written by Muslim activists and specifically thanked Insiya Aziz of Emgage Action for her role and testimony on the bill.

HB 2039 passed the House but was left to die in the Senate.

In 2025, Talarico also joined Bhojani to author House Bill 1044, legislation that would have added Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and Sikh officiants to Texas marriage law. That bill retained Christian ministers, priests, and Jewish rabbis. It did not receive a vote in the House.

When I was a youngin’, just after the dinosaurs stopped roaming the earth, a few weeks before the elections, our alderman would pop into the neighborhood with government cheese, powdered milk, and a claim about how much he’d done for the neighborhood and to make sure we vote for him. He kept getting re-elected every year, so I assumed it worked.

The pandering from Democrat candidates has changed forms over the years, but the approach is still the same: the handouts are as fake and inauthentic as that cheese, and promises made will never be promises kept.

KBLA talk radio host Tavis Smiley got to field some of that cheese and promises from former Biden HHS Secretary and Democrat nominee for California governor Xavier Becerra. When Smiley asked Becerra what he would do for Black Californians, Becerra did the then-Senator Kamala Harris dodge when she was asked in her 2019 presidential run about reparations: “I’m not gonna sit here and say I’m going to do something that only gonna benefit Black people!”

Thousands of Greek students took to the streets on Wednesday (October 21) to protest the high cost of living, citing grievances similar to those fueling recent demonstrations in France and across Europe. Police estimated at least 5,000 people attended the Athens protest. Similar protests also occurred in other major Greek cities, including Thessaloniki. Wednesday marks the second of two days of demonstrations, as teachers strike, students organise marches and education groups demand better funding, safer buildings and improved school conditions.

The protests bring together groups with different demands, from better-resourced public schools to lower costs for university students. Secondary school pupils and teachers are protesting poor infrastructure, a shortage of staff and insufficient public spending on education.

Greek primary education teachers (DOE) are striking for 24 hours on Wednesday, while secondary school teachers (OLME) are staging a work stoppage from 11am to 2pm. The educators are protesting increased class sizes and heavy workload demands, while calling for permanent staff appointments, upgraded facilities and better school funding. OLME said there is a nationwide shortage of 15,000 secondary school teachers.

“In Greece, like in France, we are demanding public, free education,” said Katia Koubousidou, head of a student union at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. “This will not be a one-off protest. We have a plan to continue our demonstrations.”

Former Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin is crossing party lines to campaign alongside Republican Sen. Susan Collins in Maine, delivering a significant boost to the GOP incumbent as she fights to retain her seat in one of the nation’s most closely watched Senate races.

Collins’ campaign confirmed Monday that Manchin, who represented West Virginia for more than a decade before leaving the Democratic Party, will join her Wednesday for campaign appearances in Lewiston and Norway.

The unusual alliance comes just two weeks before the November 3 midterm elections, when Republicans will attempt to maintain control of the Senate against a determined Democratic effort to flip several competitive seats.

Collins is seeking a sixth term against Democrat Troy Jackson, a former Maine Senate president who has attracted support from prominent progressive figures, including Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.

Manchin, who became an independent in 2024 before retiring from Congress, has emerged as an outspoken defender of Collins despite her Republican affiliation.

The former senator endorsed Collins in September, describing her as “the soul of the Senate” and praising her willingness to work across party lines.

ALBUQUERQUE, NM — Nine plaintiffs led by the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the National Rifle Association of America, and the Second Amendment Foundation filed a federal lawsuit on October 19, 2026, asking a court to stop New Mexico from enforcing a seven-day firearm waiting period that the Tenth Circuit already held unconstitutional. The complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico as Case No. 1:26-cv-03514 and names Attorney General Raúl Torrez, in his official capacity, as the sole defendant. The New Mexico Firearms Industry Association, the New Mexico Shooting Sports Association, Calibers Shooting Sports Center, Omni Tactical USA, Right to Bear Arms, and Peter Hackett round out the plaintiff list.

When the district court ruled on remand in August, I covered it: Federal Judge Still Thinks New Mexico’s Seven-Day Gun Waiting Period Is Constitutional. He Blocked It Anyway Because the Tenth Circuit Tied His Hands. What is new is the plaintiffs’ allegation that the judgment did not end the matter. The complaint opens by saying the plaintiffs “regret that they have been left with no choice but to file this lawsuit,” and NSSF’s announcement frames the filing as the response to a governor ignoring court rulings that declared the law unconstitutional. NRA-ILA’s post calls it, pointedly, another lawsuit over the same law.

PARIS: French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Tuesday (Oct 20) vowed a “massive” police presence at fresh protests called for the coming weekend, as he faced criticism over the handling of recent street violence.

The eurozone’s second-largest economy was rocked on Saturday by some of its worst rioting in recent years, just six months before voters head to the polls to elect a successor to President Emmanuel Macron.

Facing angry lawmakers in parliament, Lecornu acknowledged that the security response had fallen short and promised a stronger approach ahead of a new wave of protests.

“The deployment for next Saturday will be massive,” Lecornu said.

He accused ultra-left radical groups of forging an “insurrectionary plan” that led to the riots, which erupted on the sidelines of nationwide protests over the cost of living.

Images of clashes, mobs looting stores and public buildings set ablaze last weekend prompted several countries, including the United States, China and Germany, to issue travel advisories for their citizens in France.

French authorities on Monday announced partial curfews in Paris and some other cities, and Lecornu said new curfews would be imposed on Tuesday where needed.

Paris police ordered a temporary ban on people carrying cans or bottles of petrol or gas, after mobs set fire to government buildings and shops last weekend.

It’s two weeks away from the midterms, and judging from much of their coverage, the liberal media seems to believe they need to push Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed over the finish line, in order to take control of the U.S. Senate. On CNN’s Inside Politics Sunday from Washington, Chief National Security Correspondent Jeff Zeleny seemed to loss sight of this, but he more than made up for it hours later on CNN’s Newsroom.

Saturday, at a town hall in Caro, Michigan, El-Sayed was asked whether he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood, and gave a dismissive answer of, “Sure. Yeah, absolutely”, before turning the tables on the questioner and pressing him on why he would ask such a question. Inside Politics Sunday host Manu Raju played the question and then a small portion of El-Sayed’s response.

CLIP OF UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?

EL-SAYED: Sure. Yeah, absolutely. You’re asking the question because implicitly you assume that I’ll have dual loyalties, right? You assume that somehow I wouldn’t disavow or that I’ll have some higher order allegiance than to the Constitution. For me, that Constitution is the guiding light.

Raju first turned to CNN Analyst Zolan Kanno-Youngs, with a surprising question.

RAJU: How do you think, Zolan, he has handled these questions through the course of this campaign? Here he was. He tried to go after this voter who was asking him a question. Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?

KANNO-YOUNGS: That’s right. Concern from Jewish voters as well. I think we can also state that and that there is concern there.

And then also state that also there has been a lot of attacks as well from the Republican Party that has dipped into Islamophobia as well, you know, specifying full name as well, trying to make these —

RAJU: Trump calling him Mohammed.

KANNO-YOUNGS: Right, right. Trump calling —

RAJU: His name is Abdul.

Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew Ferguson bashed mainstream media shills who spent years covering up for fraudsters in Minnesota and other Democrat states on Tuesday. He also explained how the Trump administration plans to hold the most infamous fraudulent Minneapolis childcare center and other fraudulent entities and individuals to account.

Ferguson began, “A lot of journalists [are] in the room today. Everyone knew about the Quality Learing Center. They were cited hundreds of times over the course of a couple years. No one reported it. None of your outlets reported it. It took one brave kid and a camera to make everyone aware of this, and it launched a revolution,” while pointing toward Shirley.

France faces even more devastating violence this weekend as far-left activists, migrants, and criminal groups prepare for more rioting.

Antifa-linked groups are preparing further riots near a convention for France’s right-wing opposition party, National Rally.

It comes days after nationwide riots overwhelmed police and exposed major failures in President Emmanuel Macron’s security operation.

An internal State Department assessment warns that far-left riots near the October 24–25 gathering in Orléans could become “potentially more confrontational” and “expose further security shortcomings and deepen political tensions.”

The warning identifies far-left groups, migrants, and criminals as potential participants in renewed unrest as National Rally leader Marine Le Pen prepares to launch her presidential campaign at the convention.

National Rally President Jordan Bardella has ruled out canceling the congress.

Local authorities are preparing additional security restrictions around the venue.
