Election season has historically brought plenty of campaign ads, but these days it also brings a fresh crop of painful-to-listen-to liberal anthems penned by white women who are suffering from terminal TDS.

“I’m sure everyone has heard the old saying that … there’s only two things in life that are certain: death and taxes. And I agree, those two things are certain. However, I would like to just deposit a third one just into the atmosphere,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales says.

“Unhinged liberal white women are going to drop a new song to encourage you to vote as we approach an election,” she continues. “It is certain. It happens every time, and it always is terrible. That is always something that you can hang your hat on.”

“We won’t, we won’t ever let go of that hard-won freedom, freedom to vote,” the women sing in the now-viral video.

“We the people are for the people,” they continue, clapping to the beat.

“The charisma of a doorknob is what they have,” Gonzales comments.

“I love, also, that the woman was holding a sign that said, ‘Make it too big to rig.’ Like, can you steal elections or not? I have been reliably informed that that’s not a thing,” she continues.

“Now, I will just say … I’m not done, OK? Because there are other libs who heard this song, and they were like, ‘Yes, this is what we’re doing. It’s the only way to convince people to vote, is for us to just stand on a street corner like the goofy motherf**kers that we are,” she adds.

Gonzales plays another video of a group of white women performing the same song, but this time it’s on a stage with instruments and a little more upbeat.

“They at least have it. It’s faster. They got more energy,” she says, before playing a clip of yet another new liberal anthem.

“My persecution is your persecution, and your persecution is my persecution,” a woman sings in the video.

“I’ve fallen asleep five times since the clip started,” Gonzales says.

“Those people’s votes count just as much as yours does,” she points out.

A Venezuelan illegal alien was shot and killed as he was firing a gun into a homeless encampment in the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago, according to various law enforcement sources.

An off-duty Federal Bureau of Investigation agent happened to see 27-year-old Oscar Isaya-Corrales firing at crowds Monday evening and took him down.

He had a slew of previous arrests that included ‘domestic violence, criminal damage to property, felony retail theft, driving with an expired license.’

The agent was driving home when he saw Isaya-Corrales “discharging a firearm into a group of innocent people” near 18th Street and Union Avenue, according to an FBI statement.

Chicago police rushed to the scene to find the 41-year-old agent aiming at the wounded gunman, who had been shot in both legs, his chest, and right flank, according to a police report.

Isaya-Corrales died at a hospital about an hour later.

The agent was unharmed.

“The FBI takes all shooting incidents involving our agents or task force members seriously,” an FBI statement reads. “In accordance with FBI policy, the shooting incident is under review by the FBI’s Inspection Division.”

The Department of Homeland Security said that Isaya-Corrales had been caught at the border in 2023 but subsequently released “completely unvetted” by the Biden administration.

DHS added that he had a slew of previous arrests that included “domestic violence, criminal damage to property, felony retail theft, driving with an expired license, marijuana possession, and several traffic misdemeanors.”

Isaya-Corrales got another chance after officials in Blue Island, Illinois, refused to honor a detainer request from Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Dec. 2025.

Alderman Byron Sigcho-Lopez issued a statement skeptical of the account from the FBI.

“What may have happened is, there was a shooting earlier, maybe around the area of the expressway. Someone heard some shots, and then, when neighbors came out, they saw a vehicle that now we know is the FBI agent that came out of the vehicle and shot someone on an e-bike,” he said.

Isaya-Corrales was homeless himself and had been staying at a shelter.

“What prompted the shooting?” Sigcho-Lopez added. “What transpired after the initial gunfire to justify the agent continuing to aim his gun at the victim while he apparently was already shot multiple times and laying on the ground? Was the agent acting alone or part of a taskforce operation? These are questions that only an independent, transparent investigation can answer.”

DHS was far less skeptical.

“God bless this FBI agent for their heroic action,” the agency concluded.

An estimated $20 million ad campaign from the Trump administration was blocked by a federal judge who sided with the Democratic National Committee.

U.S. District Judge Loren AliKhan said Wednesday that the administration could not create or air advertisements using taxpayer funds.

‘Administrations of both parties have used public service announcements to explain policy and make the case for the nation’s direction.’

The ad campaign is being challenged in court in three separate lawsuits.

“Here, there is little doubt that Defendants’ unlawful use of public funds makes it more difficult for the DNC to achieve its mission of ‘electing Democratic candidates in federal, state, and local elections across the Country,'” AliKhan wrote in the ruling.

She added that the administration’s “use of public dollars to finance the challenged ads imposes competitive harm on the DNC, causing Democratic campaign prospects to suffer.”

The judge ordered the Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Homeland Security to “take all necessary actions to cease distribution of the challenged ads, including through authorized third parties.”

After facing pressure about the ads, the president said he would fund them himself and with money he raised for super PAC MAGA Inc.

But AliKhan noted that the ads kept running with a disclosure that read, “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”

A White House official said the ruling was “moot” and explained why in a statement to the Washington Sun.

“The PSAs are being paid for by outside groups,” the official said. “Administrations of both parties have used public service announcements to explain policy and make the case for the nation’s direction.”

RELATED: Pollster Frank Luntz CRUSHES Democrats’ hopes over favorable polling

The Sun report noted that both former presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden ran advertisements during their time in office, but those were meant to publicize specific initiatives.

AliKhan added in her ruling, “Every public dollar spent on airing the challenged ads allows MAGA Inc. — which has already spent $25,000,000 in the 2025-26 federal election cycle to support Republican candidates and oppose Democratic candidates — to conserve its resources for other political efforts adverse to the DNC.”

One survey found that a vast majority of Americans, 86%, thought the campaign-style taxpayer-funded ads were inappropriate.

U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska — a nominal Republican up for re-election in 2028 — has made a habit out of sabotaging the MAGA agenda and undermining her fellow Republicans.

If she has demonstrated anything this week, it’s consistency.

‘You just don’t get any worse!’

Rather than endorse one of the three Republican candidates in the running for Alaska governor, the 69-year-old has thrown her weight behind former Alaska state Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins.

Kreiss-Tomkins is a Democrat who has been endorsed by Planned Parenthood Alliance and celebrated for being “a proven advocate for reproductive health and LGBTQ2S+ rights.”

“Our future is too important to be hamstrung by partisan divisions,” Murkowski said in a statement published on Tuesday by the Kreiss-Tomkins campaign. “Jonathan understands that governing requires listening to people with different perspectives and finding common ground to solve the problems all of us face.”

In addition to claiming that the Democrat is “committed to working toward solutions that serve all Alaskans,” Murkowski claimed that he would “put our state first.”

RELATED: Conservatives demand competition — except in their own primaries

Kreiss-Tomkins expressed gratitude to Murkowski for her endorsement and stated, “Alaskans deserve a government that can work through disagreements and make progress on the issues that matter.”

The campaigns of Republican gubernatorial candidates Dave Bronson, Treg Taylor, and Bernadette Wilson did not respond to Blaze News’ requests for comment.

Taylor said in a statement on Facebook, however, that Murkowski’s decision was “particularly disappointing.”

The Cook Political Report said that the gubernatorial race was leaning Democrat as of Oct. 13.

Murkowksi has been critical of current Republican Gov. Mike Dunleavy, telling KTUU-TV this week that she has “found fault” with him.

“I think that they have left federal money on the table,” said Murkowski. “I think in certain areas, where we have worked hard to put opportunities from the federal side, here, into the state, the state has failed with it.”

This isn’t the first time that Murkowski has endorsed a radical Democrat.

In October 2024, the senator endorsed the failed re-election bid of then-Rep. Mary Peltola — a pro-abortion Democrat who voted against Republican legislation that would have barred males from girls’ sports.

Peltola, who is now running for the U.S. Senate, also enjoyed reinforcement from Murkowski earlier this year in the wake of allegations that the Democrat — who had the second-highest staff turnover rate in the U.S. House during her final year in office — roughed up an aide, threw around the term “retarded,” and wished death by “botched abortion” on the board of a Planned Parenthood chapter.

This also isn’t the first time that Murkowski has thrown caltrops in Republicans’ way.

In recent months, she unsuccessfully fought Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation; repeatedly voted against funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection; voted to rein in President Donald Trump’s war powers; voted to block Trump’s tariffs; voted unsuccessfully to keep taxpayers on the hook for USAID and other foreign funding; voted against multiple Trump nominees, including Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and Under Secretary of the Navy Hung Cao; campaigned against the SAVE America Act; and complained with Democrats about ex-FBI Director James Comey’s indictment.

Murkowski’s endorsement of Kreiss-Tomkins comes just days after Trump called her “Republicans’ Worst Senator” and a “DISGRACE to Alaska and our Country.”

“You just don’t get any worse!”

When 3-year-old Nevada Pierre scored 21 goals in two soccer games, the police were called — and his parents were furious.

However, upon further investigation, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock explains that the arrival of the cops had nothing to do with the child dominating the game and everything to do with how his parents reacted.

“The parents of 3-year-old Nevada Pierre claimed their son was targeted because he was playing too well against kids older than him,” an ABC news report says.

“Nevada’s mother claims other parents had complained, wanting him taken out of the game to give other kids a chance to play, but she didn’t think that was fair.”

“The parents of the 3-year-old boy that were causing a bit of a scene,” Jason Whitlock explains. “And one of the workers on the soccer field in the soccer league felt annoyed, bothered, felt like this situation could escalate, and he called the police.”

“Police came, based off of everything I’ve seen so far, behaved really appropriately. This is a typical little league dispute between parents and coaches and organizers,” he adds.

Charles Baker is a coach and a father himself, and he also believes the child’s parents are to blame.

“When I first saw this story, I thought it was some kind of AI hoax. And I kept seeing it, and I thought it’s real,” he tells Whitlock. “And … you look at the headline and you think it’s funny, but then a sensible person would say, ‘Well, let me read and find out the why.’”

“And then the why makes sense as to why the police were called. It had nothing to do with how good the little kid was. Everybody admits he’s good. He’s great. He’s way ahead of his time here,” he continues.

“The police were called because of comments that the mother was making,” he adds.

However, Dre Baldwin believes the first people responsible for this situation “are the organizers of the league.”

“This happens in organizations all the time. When you bring a bunch of people together, if the standards are not clearly outlined and clearly communicated, then the wires get crossed,” Baldwin says.

“The organizer of the league needs to tell the parents, ‘This is the type of league this is. This is who it’s for. This is our aim. This is our goal,’” he explains.

“So the parents show up with this kid who was obviously very good at soccer. He’s dominating the game, and his parents are telling him just go dominate the game, but the league is not designed for this, not a dominate-the-game type of soccer league,” he continues.

“It’s a get-used-to-playing-soccer type of league,” he says, adding, “That’s on the organizers of the league.”

President Donald Trump has teased the next person he would nominate to the highest court of the land, should a vacancy open up in the next two years.

The president made the stunning announcement to supporters during a rally in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday ahead of the pivotal midterm elections.

‘They would like to get rid of him. So I’d get 100% of the vote, and he would be a Supreme Court justice, and he’d do a great job.’

Trump said nominating Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas would solve the problems he had trying to get Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court in his first term.

“I shouldn’t tell this. Should I tell the Supreme Court justice situation?” he asked Cruz at the rally.

“I said, ‘Look, I have an answer to it.’ Ted is a brilliant guy, brilliant lawyer, brilliant all that. Went to law school, top student, everything, top credentials. I said, ‘I have an answer to not being able to get it past the Democrats or the Republicans together,'” Trump said.

“I would pick Ted Cruz to be the next Supreme Court justice,” he added.

He said Democrats would “100%” vote to approve Cruz because “they hate the guy” and want to get rid of him in the Senate.

“And the Republicans would 100% vote for it because they can’t stand him,” Trump added. “They would like to get rid of him. So I’d get 100 percent of the vote, and he would be a Supreme Court justice, and he’d do a great job.”

Video showed Cruz laughing at the rally and nodding his head.

Justice Samuel Alito has said that he might consider retiring next year but said the future political circumstances were hard to predict. Alito is 76 years old.

Cruz, 55, has indicated that the president had already approached him about being on the Supreme Court during his first term, and Cruz had rejected the idea.

“In the first Trump term, the president spoke to me seriously about all three vacancies, and three times I said no because I don’t want to be out of the arena of the political battle,” Cruz said to the Wall Street Journal.

A Texas public school assistant principal and her husband are accused of pummeling a pair of men amid an argument at a 12-year-old girls’ softball game over the weekend. One victim reportedly was knocked out flat on his back after being hit with a metal water bottle and suffered a fractured skull, three brain bleeds, and a broken jaw.

The incident occurred during a Saturday game involving two 12-year-old select softball teams at Imperial Park in Sugar Land — and the carnage was caught on video, KTRK-TV reported.

‘It’s medieval times, like we’re going to smash each other in the head with something.’

Kiarious Marshun Hall and his wife Jazmine Hall were at their daughter’s game when the dispute began, the station said, citing charging documents.

Investigators said the dispute began over Kiarious Marshun Hall’s behavior during the opposing team’s at-bats, KTRK said, adding that Hall told officers a man supporting the opposing team approached him and said he “couldn’t cheer before the players pitched the ball.”

Investigators reviewed witness video that allegedly showed Hall striking a father in the face with a metal water bottle, after which the father fell to the ground unconscious, the station said.

Hall then swung the bottle at a second man — a grandfather — before the confrontation became a physical fight, KTRK reported, citing court records, adding that Jazmine Hall allegedly was seen running into the altercation and pushing the second man.

Gary Greaser, the grandfather in the video, told KTRK he was attending the game to watch his granddaughter play and took issue with Hall’s behavior: “We’re saying, ‘Hey, why are you getting loud?’ It’s bad sportsmanship to do it right as the pitch comes up when our girls are batting, and that’s all it took. He just flipped and said, ‘I can do whatever I want, I can say whatever I want. And you can’t stop me.'”

Greaser added to the station that he intervened after seeing the first man struck: “I said, ‘You can’t do this.’ I took him, I wanted to disarm the guy, because he’s going to do it to somebody else.”

Investigators told KTRK that Hall claimed the men had “elbowed and poked his chest” and that he acted in self-defense — but the station said court documents state the video officers reviewed did not show such actions.

Jazmine Hall and her husband are seen wearing pink shirts in the video, the station said, adding that the father who fell to the ground unconscious is seen wearing a dark blue shirt, and the grandfather who intervened is seen wearing a light blue shirt.

The father seen in the video getting knocked flat on his back was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital, KTRK reported, adding that attorney Steve Shellist, who represents the injured man, said his client was hospitalized with a broken jaw, a fractured skull, and three brain bleeds.

As for Greaser, the station said he suffered a broken hip and needed seven stitches on his chin and was scraped extensively.

“It’s medieval times,” Greaser told KTRK in disbelief, “like we’re going to smash each other in the head with something.”

Sugar Land police arrested Kiarious Hall and Jazmine Hall following the incident, the station said, adding that both suspects were booked into the Fort Bend County Jail. However, neither appeared Wednesday in a list of inmates.

Jazmine Hall faces one count of assault causing bodily injury; Kiarious Hall faces two counts, KRIV-TV reported.

KTRK added that Jazmine Hall resigned from her position as assistant principal at Lamar Junior High School.

Lamar CISD shared the following statement, the station said:

Lamar CISD is aware of the incident involving a Lamar Junior High School employee. The employee voluntarily reported the incident to the district’s human resources department over the weekend.

The incident occurred outside of school and was not associated with any Lamar CISD-sponsored event or activity.

The employee resigned from her position with Lamar CISD effective Monday, October 26, 2026.

KTRK said Hall declined to comment when reached by the station.

Greaser’s attorney Shellist told KTRK he is in discussions with the Fort Bend County District Attorney’s Office and wants prosecutors to consider upgrading the charges.

45-year-old Latosha Ann Cooper was shot multiple times by a man who approached her in the parking lot of a Pennsylvania Walmart last Wednesday.

Officers with the Cheltenham Township Police Department were called to the scene at about 11:30 p.m. and found her with gunshot injuries. She was declared dead at the scene.

Friends and co-workers told detectives that the marriage was only so that Jean Louis could obtain legal status.

Surveillance video captured a man waiting near a bush at the entrance of the store in Cheltenham.

Cooper, a Walmart employee, had walked out of the store with a co-worker after their shift and was having a conversation before the masked man shot her and fled.

After an investigation, police arrested Cooper’s ex-boyfriend Destino Jean Louis, who is also an illegal immigrant from Haiti.

The 23-year-old had worked at the Walmart with Cooper, and they began a romantic relationship, according to police. The two obtained a marriage license in March 2025, but friends and co-workers told detectives that the marriage was only so that Jean Louis could obtain legal status.

Cooper later cut ties with Jean Louis, which allegedly angered him. She revoked her application to let him remain in the country as her spouse in July 2026, according to official records.

Prosecutors say that cellphone records put the illegal alien near the Walmart on the night of the lethal shooting. He had also visited the store several times in the weeks before the shooting.

Jean Louis was arrested for immigration violations at a family member’s residence in Philadelphia on Friday. Officials said they also found a sandwich bag containing .22 caliber ammunition.

He was then charged with first-degree murder, third-degree murder, and other gun crimes. He is being held without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.

The U.S. Marshals Service in Philadelphia said Jean Louis had overstayed his visa.

Homeland Security sources told Fox News that the man had entered into the U.S. under a humanitarian program by the Biden administration in Nov. 2023 and that his status was revoked in June 2025.

Jean Louis told police he was at his family’s residence during the shooting and had his cell phone with him. He also denied ever possessing a firearm.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

Ex-presidential candidate in Brazil Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived in Miami amid fears left-wing President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would wage a lawfare campaign against him.

Bolsonaro, whose whereabouts were unknown Tuesday, failed to surrender his passports in Brazil as ordered by Brazilian Supreme Federal Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. Bolsonaro’s alleged route took him through Argentina and Ecuador to reach Miami after refusing to concede the election to Lula amid accusations of fraud.

‘The election was really strange, and I thought it was terrible.’

The son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, Flávio landed at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport Wednesday morning with his wife and two daughters, the Associated Press reported.

Bolsonaro refused to concede the election to Lula, who won by about 4.4 million votes after a Lula-appointed justice, acting on a request from Lula’s campaign, extended voting nationwide by two hours.

That same justice previously served as Lula’s personal defense attorney. Justice Cristiano Zanin defended Lula beginning in 2013 and continued after corruption charges were filed against Lula three years later. Lula appointed him to the Supreme Federal Court in 2023.

The Bolsonaro family crossed into Argentina via land late Tuesday and later boarded a private plane, according to Argentine immigration officials. The plane believed to be carrying Bolsonaro briefly stopped in Guayaquil, Ecuador, and departed for Miami thereafter, according to CBS.

On Monday, Bolsonaro was served with an order from Brazil’s court system to surrender his regular and diplomatic passports by noon the following day, according to The Hill.

Though his Brazilian passports have since been canceled, Bolsonaro reportedly holds an Italian passport as well. Bolsonaro entered the U.S. on his canceled diplomatic passport, according to Estadão. He used his Italian passport to leave Argentina, the paper reported.

“This act of leaving Brazil is shameful,” Lula said Tuesday.

The State Department pledged to grant Bolsonaro and his family U.S. visas on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Blaze News: “On October 28, 2026, Mr. Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in South Florida with his family and were met and inspected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in accordance with applicable immigration laws and procedures. At the conclusion of the inspection, Mr. Bolsonaro and his accompanying family members were released.”

President Donald Trump isn’t convinced Bolsonaro was beaten fair and square.

“The election was really strange, and I thought it was terrible,” Trump told reporters in Maryland on Tuesday.

Jair Bolsonaro also briefly withdrew to Florida after losing to Lula in 2022. He returned three months later, only to be arrested in 2025 on what conservative Brazilians say are politically motivated charges.

Trump agreed.

“Brazilian officials are also persecuting former President of Brazil Jair Bolsonaro,” reads Trump’s July 2025 executive order slapping tariffs on Brazil, calling the case “drummed up prosecutions.”

The Treasury Department sanctioned de Moraes that same month.

“Alexandre de Moraes has taken it upon himself to be judge and jury in an unlawful witch hunt against U.S. and Brazilian citizens and companies,” said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. “De Moraes is responsible for an oppressive campaign of censorship, arbitrary detentions that violate human rights, and politicized prosecutions — including against former President Jair Bolsonaro.”

“If I had won the election, would the same thing have happened?” Flávio Bolsonaro said Monday, according to JOTA.

The elder Bolsonaro was sentenced to 27 years in prison after his 2022 loss to Lula, though he has been moved to house arrest following a series of health issues. Bolsonaro was also the subject of an assassination attempt in 2018, where he was stabbed and critically injured.

The Brazilian Embassy directed Blaze News to Brazil’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs when reached for comment.

Bolsonaro’s office and the White House did not respond to Blaze News’ requests for comment.

The Pentagon believes U.S. military bases must be able to operate without help from civilian resources.

Government officials called it an “intolerable risk” to have key installations be dependent on supply lines that could potentially be cut off in a time of war; and now they’re doing something about it.

‘Power is combat now.’

To remedy the situation, the Pentagon is implementing a new strategy that seeks to keep its facilities prepared for life under a full-blown global war.

The program, called FORTRESS America — Federal Operations for Resilience, Troop Resources, Energy, Supply, and Survivability — requires every major military facility in the continental United States to be capable of being fully operational without outside support for 90 days, United 24 Media reported.

This includes being self-sustaining when it comes to resources like water, electricity, fuel, and communications.

Pentagon chief spokesman Sean Parnell told Fox News Digital that relying on standard civilian infrastructure is something the military cannot accept.

“We just simply can’t. It’s an intolerable risk,” Parnell said.

Much of the dependence will rely on the creation of independent power structures in the event that the public grid is inaccessible or disabled.

“Power is combat now,” Parnell continued. “Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines, and just basic military command structures.”

The energy action plan would allegedly utilize portable nuclear reactors, battery storage en masse, and microgrids that can disconnect from the civilian grid and operate outside the general public’s energy consumption.

“Mission-critical power must be independent, hardened, and redundant,” Parnell said.

The government official described the situation the United States is facing as vastly different from a past belief that it was protected by its massive natural deterrent: the oceans.

“I realized that a lot of the way we think about homeland defense was built around the antiquated assumption that two oceans would protect us,” Parnell explained. “President Trump understands that world is gone, and he’s already paved the way for new thinking: Golden Dome, a renewed focus on the Western Hemisphere, Greenland, Panama.”

Following the logic that “global supply chains will break” during any forthcoming major war, the Pentagon has also planned to assess whether or not civilian factories can shift to defense production and how long they can operate that way.

This includes preparing alternative supply chains and ensuring that there is space to reserve and preserve weapons or fuel, for example.

The plan also reportedly includes determining whether these manufacturers are properly protected against cyberattacks, with the intention of preparing them for such a scenario rather than waiting for an event to happen.

A federal judge has forbidden one of the president’s appointed prosecutors from participating in certain cases after saying he is serving “unlawfully.”

Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, released a defiant statement in response to the judgment Tuesday.

‘Ultimately, this question will be decided by the Supreme Court.’

“Just so there’s no confusion, today’s order is stayed and has no immediate effect,” Essayli said on social media. “I remain First Assistant U.S. Attorney and continue running the office.”

U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright said the Trump administration had installed Essayli as a U.S. attorney in defiance of a 120-day legal limit for acting U.S. attorneys.

Seabright gave the government a week to begin the appeals process so the ruling won’t be immediately in effect.

A defense attorney who challenged Essayli’s appointment back in August praised the new ruling.

“The Trump administration ignored the laws governing the appointment of U.S. Attorneys and got caught in Los Angeles,” said H. Dean Steward to the Los Angeles Times. “Trump and his Department of Justice violated the law again and again in an effort to install minions as chief federal prosecutors.”

Essayli also responded in a longer statement.

“We respectfully disagree with the court’s order,” said Essayli. “The president and the attorney general have every right to select supervisors within the Justice Department. Importantly, today’s order is automatically stayed so the government can seek a full stay and maintain the status quo pending our appeal.”

“Ultimately, this question will be decided by the Supreme Court, and I look forward to serving in my current role until then.”

Other prosecutors appointed by President Donald Trump but not approved by the U.S. Senate have been blocked from serving through legal objections.

Seabright was appointed to the court under former President George W. Bush.

Democrat Senate candidate Mary Peltola’s campaign has been credibly accused of engaging in a scheme to unseat Alaska Sen. Dan S. Sullivan (R).

Citing interviews with 12 people who were involved or told about the alleged scheme along with text messages and documents prepared for a potential lawsuit against the Peltola campaign, the New York Times reported that top Peltola campaign aides told staffers last year: “Find as many people named Dan Sullivan in Alaska as you can.”

‘Mary Peltola and her campaign have spent months gaslighting Alaskans, denying a scheme they were running all along.’

The apparent aim of this scheme was to stir up confusion when it came time for Alaskans to vote and possibly siphon votes away from the incumbent Republican in the general election.

One staffer allegedly scoured voter records to find potential candidates with the namesake — and these alleged efforts paid off.

Daniel J. Sullivan of Petersburg, a retired teacher who was born in the Midwest, reportedly registered as a Republican earlier this year and entered the race to oust Sen. Dan S. Sullivan on May 29, just before the deadline for filing.

Sen. Dan S. Sullivan suspected something was amiss about his new challenger’s campaign from the outset, telling CNN in May that J. Sullivan’s candidacy was effectively a Democrat effort to “cheat.”

RELATED: Exclusive: Control of the Senate hangs in the balance — Republicans are fighting to win

The senator said, “Democrats recruited a guy by the name of Dan Sullivan. He is a liberal progressive, right? We’ve seen it — his donations to all the far-left groups. He’s donated to Peltola, OK? And his whole purpose of running is to confuse Alaskans.”

In its June complaint regarding J. Sullivan’s candidacy to the Federal Election Commission, National Republican Senatorial Committee general counsel Blake Murphy noted that:

J. Sullivan’s campaign logo and website “closely mimics” that of Sen. S. Sullivan’s campaign branding; J. Sullivan has donated to Peltola; the press release promoting J. Sullivan’s candidacy for Senate was authored by Amber Lee, a Democratic consultant and Peltola supporter; and FEC records show that Amber Lee Strategies has received thousands of dollars for “PAC Strategy Consulting” from a federal PAC that has supported Peltola.

KTOO-TV reported that J. Sullivan has shed his Republican affiliation and is going into the general election as an undeclared candidate.

According to the Times, the ballot-stacking scheme was intentional and involved:

The endeavor, which was internally called the ballot composition project, involved secret trips to far-flung Alaskan communities and the appearance of a mysterious Midwestern operative, who traversed the state using a fake name and made his pitch to would-be candidates over beers at brew pubs.

In addition to senior aides and lowly staffers on the campaign, the Times alleged that the scheme involved lawyers from Peltola’s Senate campaign and Democrat operatives, as well as aides at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

“Alaskans deserve to know the truth,” Sen. Dan S. Sullivan said in a statement to Blaze News. “Mary Peltola, her campaign, and her senior advisers colluded with the DSCC, national Democrat lawyers, and Alaska Democrat operatives to recruit a candidate to deliberately deceive and confuse voters and then repeatedly lied about it. Not one player in this operation has acted in good faith with Alaska voters.”

Sen. S. Sullivan added, “Mary Peltola and her campaign have spent months gaslighting Alaskans, denying a scheme they were running all along. We always knew this was a concerted effort to deceive voters, and Mary Peltola was hoping it would stay hidden until after the election.”

The Peltola campaign said in a statement to Blaze News, “The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign. Like Mary, our campaign is focused on lowering costs and fixing the rigged system in D.C.”

Her campaign told the Times, “The Alaskans for Mary campaign has no involvement with either Sullivan campaign and did not recruit any candidates into the race.” The DSCC similarly denied involvement in the alleged scheme.

Elisa Rios, Peltola’s former campaign manager who was fired in August, told the Times that while the Democrat — who allegedly wished death by a “botched abortion” on a woman — was not directly involved in the alleged ballot-stacking scheme, she was “definitely aware.”

“Alaskan voters need to know,” said Rios. “There was a lot of speculation, and voters should get the full picture when making their decisions.”

Rios later attempted to retract her previous statements to the Times, which the Times published anyway, never having agreed that the interviews were off the record.

The allegations have prompted outrage among some Republicans.

“Two terms in Congress. Zero bills signed into law. But she found time to hunt down every Dan Sullivan in Alaska,” tweeted Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas). “Control of the Senate goes through Alaska. Let’s elect the REAL Dan Sullivan.”

Sen. Tom Cottom (R-Ark.) tweeted, “This is a direct scheme to undermine the integrity of the election.”

The Justice Department filed a lawsuit last week seeking to block the certification of the election results if Dan J. Sullivan’s involvement has a material impact on S. Sullivan’s performance.

The DOJ noted in its lawsuit that many polls indicate that the race between Sen. Dan S. Sullivan and Peltola “will be within one or two percentage points, and Daniel J. Sullivan received 2.5% of the vote in the primary election. Thus, there is a realistic chance that even if a majority of Alaskans wish to vote for Senator Sullivan, Daniel J. Sullivan’s presence on the ballot will result in a victory for Peltola.”

If Democrat Muslim Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed — who has been repeatedly questioned over his family’s alleged Muslim Brotherhood ties — wins in Michigan next week, the state can expect a senator who will push Medicare-for-all government health care, fight to codify nationwide abortion access, work to abolish ICE, and raise taxes on businesses and the wealthy.

But according to Article III Project senior counsel Josh Hammer, that’s not the worst of it.

“This guy will literally be a five-alarm fire national security threat if he is elected to the United States Senate,” he tells the “Steve Deace Show” panel.

“He’s already making moves and making waves about trying to sit on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee — maybe the Select Committee on Intelligence, so help us God,” he says. “I mean, this is a guy who it’s not an exaggeration to say that he is a Muslim Brotherhood asset.”

Hammer argues that although there’s no “overt collusive conspiracy,” the support El-Sayed has received from the Muslim Brotherhood’s “very sophisticated network,” which includes the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Islamic Society of North America, is substantial, coordinated, and deeply concerning for a U.S. Senate candidate.

“CAIR has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to Abdul El-Sayed. His father-in-law, a very wealthy doctor in Michigan, was one of the founding members of ISNA,” he says, noting that both CAIR and ISNA “were named brotherhood front groups in the infamous Holy Land Foundation terror financing case of 2008.”

Hammer also notes that El-Sayed refused to celebrate or even comment positively on the U.S./Israel killing of Ali Khamenei in early 2026. Leaked audio showed El-Sayed telling his staff he didn’t want to touch the topic because “a lot of people in Dearborn” were sad about it.

“You know, Mr. Senate-elect hopeful, the United States and Iran are, last I checked, at war. In fact, they’ve been at war, technically speaking, for 47 years. Whose side are you on, dude? I mean, like literally, whose side of this conflict are you on?” Hammer asks.

He then brings up another concern: From 1999 to 2004, El-Sayed’s mother worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency.

“They were designated a terror organization by the Treasury Department in 2004 for funding Al-Qaeda and bin Laden,” says Hammer. “The mother was funding Al-Qaeda and bin Laden on September 11, 2001.”

“If [El-Sayed] goes to the Senate, God help us. He will not act on behalf of the United States. He will act on behalf of the Brotherhood; he will act on behalf of Islamism. And Al-Qaeda and ISIS will have a friend inside the U.S. Senate.”

One candidate forum took a wild turn when Fayette County Council hopeful Jaime West was asked what unpopular decision she would make in the county’s best interest.

Her answer? “Firing all Republicans.” She went on to attack MAGA voters, complain about ICE, describe alleged threats against her, and close with a startling warning: “We have guns too.”

“I don’t even talk to [Republicans]. I don’t like them. … Our own state representative voted against her own party. I mean, what do you want me to say? I don’t like being around them. I mean, y’all did this to us. You all voted for this. You made this happen,” she said.

“This ICE coming into our communities, stealing people’s jobs,” she continued, before groaning and claiming that she’s “been threatened so many times to [her] face by MAGA.”

“There’s Republicans who actually get it. You know, there are good Republicans out there. But then there’s these MAGAs who are just racist and aren’t very intelligent at all,” she added.

West then claimed that the “sheriff’s nephew threatened to blow [her] head off.”

“What are you going to do?” she asked, throwing her hands up.

“Clearly drunk,” BlazeTV host Pat Gray comments.

“I mean, that’s way beyond anything we’ve ever seen from Kamala Harris or Nancy Pelosi,” he adds.

West then went to “clear the air” on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” where Morgan began by saying, “I’m going to be completely straight with you. A lot of people assumed you might have had a drink before you did that interview. Did you?”

“I had a Coors Light. I had a beer,” she replied.

“How many beers did you have?” Morgan asked.

“I was nervous,” she laughed, before finally admitting that she had “three beers” before her appearance.

“That’s more than three beers,” Jeff Fisher comments.

“Yeah,” Gray agrees, “She had three beers that were a gallon each.”
