Key Alaska Senate Race Comes Down to One Issue: Fish– www.westernjournal.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
Former Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola has made fishing the centerpiece of her campaign to unseat Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska.
Peltola, who is Yup’ik and grew up fishing on the Kuskokwim River, has revived her longtime “Fish, Family, Freedom” slogan from her House campaigns and is calling for a ban on factory trawling.
“I’m the only candidate on this stage who’s an Alaskan fisherman. Fish is in my blood, earned over generations on the water,” Peltola said at a Sept. 12 fisheries debate hosted by the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, the Alaska Beacon reported.
The Peltola and Sullivan campaigns and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
The fight centers on bycatch — the salmon, halibut and crab swept up in the nets of large trawlers harvesting pollock and other groundfish in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska — which many Alaskans blame, at least in part, for weak salmon runs and declining halibut and crab stocks, the outlet reported.
The race could help decide which party controls the Senate, Gunnar Knapp, a retired University of Alaska Anchorage economist, told the Beacon.
Brett Watson, an economist at the University of Alaska Anchorage, told the outlet he could not recall fishing issues playing “such a central role in a statewide or federal campaign.”
Talarico ‘Mentor’ Pastor: Capitalism in ‘Death Throes’ — Democratic Socialism Is ‘the Next Chapter’– townhall.com

EXCERPT:
Texas Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico has called St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin home since he was two years old. It has been led for 35 years by Rev. Jim Rigby, whom Talarico calls a “mentor,” according to The Christian Post.
Undercover video obtained exclusively by Townhall shows Rigby musing about his economic philosophy — a philosophy that has undoubtedly been impressed upon Talarico for virtually the candidate’s entire life.
“I think capitalism is in death throes,” Rigby says in the video. “You’re gonna have to throw everything overboard. It’s like, that’s the next chapter of human rights. It’s like, life, liberty, pursuit of happiness is not capitalism. That every person has a right to medicine, to a livable wage, stuff. That’s not radical.”
Rigby asserts the United States is the only developed nation “that doesn’t have that stuff. And they’re calling that communism.”
“So, to me, just stop looking at the label and what is it that you want?” he continues in the video.
“Gandhi and Martin Luther King were democratic socialists. That’s the next chapter, and it’s not this horrific thing. It’s like, that’s what the rest of the civilized world calls sanity.”
DHS Responds to Latest Migrant Caravan Marching Toward US Border (VIDEO) * The Gateway Pundit * by Cristina Laila– www.thegatewaypundit.com

EXCERPT:
A migrant caravan is marching toward the US border ahead of the midterm elections.
More than 400 aliens from the Honduras entered Mexico on Thursday en route to the United States, Reuters has confirmed.
At least two NGOs are funding this caravan.
According to independent reporter Anthony Aguero, “Proyecto Faro and ADRA” are the two main NGOs assisting the migrant caravan:
Proyecto Faro, the immigrant support nonprofit out of Rockland County, New York, is funded by a mix of foundations, nonprofits, and government grants. Mainly funded by a Jewish Foundation, The Harry Donenfeld Foundation, named for the Jewish immigrant who co-founded DC Comics.
Another major donor is The Gitlin Family Foundation which is also Jewish-led. The Freedom Together Foundation, another major donor was founded in 2012 by Barbara Picower as the JPB Foundation, renamed Freedom Together in 2024.
The money came from her late husband Jeffry Picower’s estate, he was Jewish, and their earlier Picower Foundation gave to other Jewish causes.
ADRA stand for the Adventist Development and Relief Agency, its the humanitarian arm of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a “Christian” denomination.
Its biggest funder is the U.S. government, mainly USAID, which has given it roughly three hundred eighty-five million dollars across over a hundred awards. in August 2026 ADRA was named a partner in the State Department’s new Faith and Community Initiative.
Their last report clarifies they were given at least 36 million US dollars by the end of 2025… more to come.

Five men detained near an RAF base used by the US have been arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act.
A major incident was declared and 85 homes evacuated near RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire after several men were arrested by armed police on suspicion of explosives offences on Sunday morning.
Counterterrorism police and detectives leading the response are said to be investigating whether the alleged plot is linked to Iran, according to The Times.
Detectives are reported to be keeping an open mind, but one line of inquiry is likely to be whether the incident is connected to Tehran because the base hosts the United States Air Force (USAF) and has been used to launch operations against the Islamic republic.

Iran lodges complaint with U.N. over U.S. sanctions on its aviation industry
Iran has lodged a complaint with the United Nations over U.S. sanctions against its aviation sector, which have forced the cancellation of many flights across the region, state media reported Monday.
The U.S. imposed restrictions this month on the entire Iranian aviation industry and vowed to take a hard line against any companies or countries that continue to assist it.
As the sanctions took effect last Wednesday, some major airlines were forced to cancel international flights as several nations in the region implemented bans.
“To defend the legitimate rights of the aviation industry and counter illegal restrictions imposed by America, Iran has drafted and submitted a formal protest to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO),” said civil aviation chief Abouzar Shiroudi, according to Iran’s official IRNA news agency.

Sen. John Fetterman says it’s “entirely possible” Democrats take back Senate, says “let’s revisit after the midterm” on his plans– www.cbsnews.com

EXCERPT:
Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania said Saturday that it’s “entirely possible” his party could win control of the Senate in the midterm elections, but he also left the door open on his own political future.
“Let’s revisit after the midterm,” Fetterman told CBS News’ Major Garrett at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.
Democrats faced an uphill battle heading into the midterm cycle as they sought control the upper chamber, with 53 Republicans currently in the Senate and a map that appeared more favorable to the GOP. But as affordability issues have persisted in the Trump administration and amid the unpopular war with Iran, the picture has appeared to improve for Democrats as they aim to secure a majority in the Senate.
Fetterman, who delivered Democrats a crucial victory in a closely watched race in 2022, has been under scrutiny in recent years for breaking with his party, spurring questions about his future. Asked whether he would leave the Democratic Party, Fetterman said Saturday that he doesn’t “have a reason to.” And he emphasized, “I am not a Republican.” But he cautioned that people should wait until the midterm elections to “see what I do.”
“Let’s see what happens if I happen to be 51 — I don’t know,” Fetterman said.
Doc On Trans Youth Abortions Is A Preview Of Newsom Presidency– thefederalist.com

EXCERPT:
This is the pure stuff, an undiluted dose of raw California. A “request for information” (RFI) from the California Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) invites private organizations to apply for a role administering the state’s transgender equity programs. The winning bidder will distribute funds from three separate pools of money:
The section of the RFI describing the background of these grant programs explains that federal policy has caused a crisis in “access to gender affirming care, in particular for children and youth.” Children can’t get their genitals mutilated, so the state must act.
Respondents are required to have administrative experience in the field of youth genital mutilation, being required to submit an application that describes “your organization’s experience providing culturally competent services to transgender, gender-diverse, and intersex (TGI) communities, including gender affirming care,” which has to include particular experience with “communities of color” and people who speak limited English.
Every theme comes together: government spending outsourced to non-profit corporations, transgender kids, taxpayer-funded abortions for the gender diverse, public services for people who just showed up and need a translator to get their free government money. If you’re wondering how California is governed, it’s governed like this.

EXCERPT:
The University of Pennsylvania’s “special event review process” is drawing criticism after the school issued the guidelines ahead of the fall semester.
The Special Event Review Group says the guidelines are meant to support “open expression on campus.”
However, critics say the rules will have the opposite effect.
“Does the event have high-level, notable, or controversial speakers,” one mandatory question asks.
The school also requires all details “prior to an event being confirmed or publicized.”
These rules drew criticism from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression.
The policy is “unacceptably vague, and could be applied to require students planning just about any event to jump through extra bureaucratic hoops,” Laura Beltz, the director of policy reform, told The Fix via email.

While Sweeney has faced repeated criticism from major broadcast networks, the same networks gave comparatively favorable coverage to Clancy, who admitted to killing her three children.
Actress Sydney Sweeney received immense negative coverage from major broadcast networks over controversial advertising campaigns over the last year. The same outlets, meanwhile, have broadly been sympathetic toward Lindsay Clancy.
Sweeney faced widespread backlash last year over an American Eagle advertising campaign promoting jeans that played on the words “jeans” and “genes.” The advertisement was intended to imply that Sweeney has great genetic features that make her attractive, but left-wing activists accused the campaign of invoking eugenics and Nazi racial ideology.
AOC Gets Brutal News As She Test-Runs Senate Bid: She Is ‘Rejected’ – RedState– redstate.com
News Source
EXCERPT:
AOC is getting major pushback from swing-state Democrats in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
Their message? Please, just stay away.
Axios unleashed the nasty news and blasted it into the ether on Sunday night.
Democrats in some of this year’s most critical congressional battlegrounds are sending a clear message to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: We don’t want you to campaign for us.
Why it matters: If they continue, the snubs could hurt AOC’s standing as a potential contender in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, when many voters will prioritize electability.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is currently testing the waters for a potential Senate bid, so this is not a great sign that she has enough mainstream appeal for the “big leagues.”
Axios reports that Democrats in some of the most important battleground races this fall are shunning Ocasio-Cortez, with party officials saying some candidates have explicitly asked her team to stay away. One senior Democrat strategist working in a key swing district was especially blunt.
“The polling is atrocious for her,” the strategist told Axios. “She’s a lightning rod.”
Here is the background Axios gave on the recent developments:
• Ocasio-Cortez and her allies argue that her unapologetic advocacy for big progressive policies like Medicare for All would make candidates like her more electable than moderate liberals, but many Democrats in tight races this fall have disagreed.
• She was welcomed by many Democrats in competitive primary races, but some of those candidates have distanced themselves as they’ve moved to the center to take on Republicans in the Nov. 3 election.

Survey Says is a weekly series rounding up the most important polling trends or data points you need to know about, plus a vibe check on a trend that’s driving politics or culture.
Democratic socialist versus MAGA Republican—it’s a war of two extremes equally likely to turn off voters, right?
Not remotely, the data suggests. And that may have big implications this year.
The latest YouGov/Economist poll ran an experiment that asked voters to pick between pairs of hypothetical candidates. When asked to choose between a “Democratic socialist who supports Medicare for All, ending military aid to Israel, and abolishing ICE” and a “MAGA Republican who supports mass deportations and always votes with Trump,” 51% of registered voters went for the socialist, while only 34% picked the MAGA Republican. The remaining 15% were unsure.
Notably, this figure did not change much when the hypothetical socialist candidate was swapped for a “Liberal Democrat who wants to protect Obamacare (ACA), increase support for child care and housing, and opposes tariffs.” Fifty-five percent backed the liberal Democrat, and an identical 34% supported the MAGA Republican.
Democratic attorneys general work to Trump-proof election– www.latimes.com

EXCERPT:
DENVER — The office of Colorado’s attorney general is a perch 10 stories above downtown Denver. From his aerie, Phil Weiser has a sweeping view of the city skyline, the gold-domed Capitol and, occasionally, a red hawk on the wing.
But looking toward November, Weiser sees something darker.
Federal agents swarming polling places. Voters intimidated or blocked from casting their ballots. A tyrannical president using his powers, real and imagined, to undermine or try to overturn the Nov. 3 election.
“With this administration what we have seen is it’s important that we not limit our imagination to what … type of harm could happen,” Weiser said during a sunny noon hour in the Mile High City.
For that reason, Colorado’s attorney general and his Democratic peers around the country have spent more than a year strategizing — by phone, via Zoom, sometimes in person — on ways to Trump-proof the midterm election.
They’ve researched history and the law, war-gamed what-ifs, divvied up responsibilities and drafted emergency lawsuits and temporary restraining orders so they can be hurried into court at a moment’s notice.

Establishment Democrats are desperate to put a whole bunch of daylight between their party and Hasan Piker, the far-left Twitch streamer who has become a major headache with the midterms just weeks away.
“Let me just say that I think it’s absolutely disgusting and deplorable the things that Hasan Piker has said,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said last week. “But he does not represent the Democratic Party, and he certainly doesn’t represent the viewpoints of almost every one of our candidates and our elected officials.”
That’s debatable. Still, it’s kind of funny that even while condemning Piker, Martin couldn’t bring himself to vouch for the whole party.
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) ran out of patience even sooner. Back in August, she was furious when a reporter asked her about Piker yet again.
“I am done, so don’t any reporter ask me again about Hasan Piker,” Dingell said. “It’s not what November is about. Republicans are trying to make it. They’re trying to divide us, and we got to stop letting them try to divide us. I don’t agree with Hasan Piker on a lot of stuff, and I really don’t agree with him on some of the woman things he said. And I’m still trying to figure out, is it the reason he exercises and looks buff is why he has so many followers.”

House Democrats are preparing an expansive slate of investigations targeting President Donald Trump, his family and his administration if they capture the House majority in November, with impeachment remaining among the tools they could pursue.

“There is a cost to the American people of the out-of-control corruption,” House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said.
“If folks have been stealing from the American people, shortchanging the American people or screwing over the American people,” Jeffries added, “we are going to hold the crooks accountable.”

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The United States has sued the State of Minnesota, the City of Minneapolis, and the City of St. Paul in federal court over the state’s 30-day waiting period and permit-to-purchase system for handguns and AR-15 style rifles. The 13-page complaint, captioned United States v. State of Minnesota, City of Minneapolis, and City of St. Paul, Case No. 0:26-cv-04123, was filed September 24 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and is signed by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K.

Last week I covered the notice letter in DOJ Gives Minnesota Until Sept. 23 to Negotiate or Face a Federal Suit Over 30-Day Handgun Purchase Waits That Stretch to Nearly 60, which gave the state until 5:00 p.m. ET on September 23 to say whether it wanted to talk. That deadline came and went. The complaint hit the docket the next day. What was a three-page threat is now a filed case with a case number, three named defendants, and a specific list of what the government wants the court to order.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson was kicked out of his own Facebook group after being “patronizing” to supporters. Jackson is now no longer a member of the “Mainers for Troy Jackson” group.
The incident unfolded after members began complaining about canceled campaign events. An account with Jackson’s name responded to the complaints by writing, “So sad,” before adding, “We have one in Belfast this weekend.”
The responses immediately prompted backlash from his followers, who accused him of being “patronizing” and “insulting.” His account was then removed from the group, and some members questioned if the account was even him.
“This cannot be Troy speaking,” one resident wrote. “He would not speak so insultingly and patronizingly to regular people let alone supporters.”
“This is horrifying,” said another user who had a profile picture of herself with Jackson.

EXCERPT:
This past Tuesday, a coalition of progressive student groups from Rutgers University took to the streets to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement, aka ICE, and to present school officials with a list of demands.
According to The Daily Targum, the People Power Coalition — which includes Students for Justice in Palestine, the Young Democratic Socialists of America Rutgers chapter and the Climate Revolution Action Network — previously had presented Rutgers officials with a set of 14 demands which it said “must” be addressed by September 1.
But administrators “failed to meet or agree to” that deadline.
The coalition’s demands include making it “official policy” that campus police will not cooperate with ICE, “continued support” for “cultural centers for vulnerable communities,” and an official statement that Rutgers will “affirm” protection of “undocumented, immigrant, and international students, transgender students, and students of color.”
In addition, PPC representative Brea Yumiguano, who identifies as non-binary, “intended” to have a meeting with Rutgers Executive Vice President and General Counsel William Castner regarding making the school a “sanctuary campus,” but his staff reportedly “delayed” and then cancelled it.
In a statement posted to Instagram, the PPC accused Rutgers of canceling the meeting (and “blocking” entrance to the building) out of “retaliation.”
Trump’s new Medicaid rules will kick in, and GOP states are tougher about proving inability to work– fortune.com

EXCERPT:
Work requirements for some Medicaid beneficiaries begin across the U.S. in January, the result of President Donald Trump’s big 2025 tax cut and policy law, and a handful of Republican-led states are imposing tougher rules than the law requires.
At issue is how someone can prove they are too medically frail to work. While federal regulations say the state can take the recipient’s word for it for the first year, at least six states are requiring documentation immediately. There is a continuing push in other states to follow suit eventually.
Advocates say that could create problems, especially for new applicants to the joint state-federal health insurance program for lower-income people.
“Someone may not be able to work, but they can’t see a doctor because they can’t afford it. So they’re now applying for Medicaid,” said Jennifer Tolbert, director of state health policy and data at the research organization KFF. “But Medicaid is saying you need documentation from a provider.”
