The 2026 midterms exposed the growing divide between Trump's MAGA movement and the old GOP. From political warfare and American manufacturing to Ukraine and a new global order, the battle for America's future is entering a new phase.
Barbara flips the Daily Beast's Goebbels smear of Stephen Miller: who financed Hitler, how Nazi propaganda worked, and why the Ark Trump is building—and Miller's mindset—will decide whether the Republic lives or dies.
Voters felt the pain. Too few could see the productive future beyond it. Our post-election shows confront that gap; Saturday’s space vision and American System class give us something concrete to explain—and organize for Monday’s after-action review.
We have lots of good news about the Trump campaign. The Teamsters Union is not going to endorse Harris for President, Democrats are losing ground in Pennsylvania, Trump is ahead in many polls after the debate, and election integrity lawsuits are going full speed ahead.
Sean O'Brien. President of the Teamsters, spoke to the RNC convention in July. The union has decided not to make an official endorsement in the presidential election. Meanwhile, a majority of the rank and file shows support for Trump.
The Teamsters Union issued a statement, September 18, that "the General Executive Board of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters on Wednesday elected not to endorse any candidate for U.S. President." As we report on our website, this non-endorsement of Kamala Harris is a victory for President Trump.
Teamsters President Sean O’Brien was the first labor leader in decades to speak to the Republican Convention in July. The convention platform was dedicated "To The Forgotten Men and Women of America," and that is Trump's vision. In an internal membership poll, the Teamsters showed that members preferred Trump by a margin of 59.6% to 34%.
Democrats Losing Ground to Republicans in Pennsylvania
Democrats in Pennsylvania are entering the home stretch of the 2024 election with their weakest voter registration advantage compared to Republicans in recent decades. Pennsylvania is seen, by both parties, as a key swing state that they need to win. With Pennsylvania’s Oct. 21 registration deadline fast approaching, Republicans have nearly 40,000 more voters than they had in November 2020. Democrats, on the other hand, are roughly 303,000 voters behind their 2020 status.
Both parties are holding registration drives ahead of the deadline, but they are also focused on another key driver of votes: encouraging turnout among those already registered. Democrats, in particular, have expressed concern that, without strong turnout in vote-rich Philadelphia, they can’t win the state. Republican activists argue their party’s rising voter registrant share proves Donald Trump can once again pull off a victory in Pennsylvania.

Impeachment threats. A fight over tariff powers. Susan Kokinda looks beyond the post-midterm maneuvering to Trump’s answer: rebuild American industry, restore national ambition, and make us a nation of builders again.
The Democrats took Congress. The fight over who runs the economy didn't end. From the Middle East to your healthcare premium, yesterday's LIVE traced the same financial system—and the work we have to do next.
