Republican hardliner and Texas Senator Ted Cruz could screw up his party’s chance of flipping the Senate, the GOP super PAC in charge of delivering the chamber in November has warned.

A memo from the Senate Leadership Fund, obtained by Politico, shows the PAC’s own internal polling has the firebrand podcaster Cruz at 48 percent, leading Democratic opponent Colin Allred by a single percentage point.

Cruz’s lead was three points last month, according to the poll. Support for the incumbent senator in Texas also trails support for former president Donald Trump by two points—Trump, with 50 percent support, leads Vice President Kamala Harris by five points in the state.

Donald Trump and his campaign have waged an aggressive campaign against fact-checking in recent months, pushing TV networks, journalism organizations and others to abandon the practice if they hope to interact with Trump.

Trump nearly backed out of an August interview with a group of Black journalists after learning they planned to fact-check his claims. The following month, he and his allies repeatedly complained about the fact-checking that occurred during his debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, berating journalists and news executives in the middle of the televised debate.

And this month, Trump declined to sit down for an interview with CBS’s “60 Minutes” because he objected to the show’s practice of fact-checking, according to the show.

Campaign advisers also expressly asked CBS News to forgo fact checking in its vice-presidential debate with Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance — who then complained on air when a moderator corrected him.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Federal disaster workers paused and then changed some of their hurricane-recovery efforts in North Carolina, including abandoning door-to-door visits, after receiving threats that they could be targeted by a militia, officials said, as the government response to Helene is targeted by runaway disinformation.

The threats emerged over the weekend. The Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement Monday that it received a call Saturday about a man with an assault rifle who made a comment “about possibly harming” employees of the Federal Emergency Management Agency working in the hard-hit areas of Lake Lure and Chimney Rock, in the North Carolina mountains.

Authorities got a description of a suspect’s vehicle and license plate and later identified him as William Jacob Parsons, 44, of Bostic, a small community about 60 miles west of Charlotte. Sheriff’s officials said in a statement that Parsons — who was armed with a handgun and a rifle — was charged with “going armed to the terror of the public,” a misdemeanor. He was released after posting bond.

The sheriff’s office said initial reports indicated that a “truckload of militia” was involved in making the threat, but further investigation determined that Parsons acted alone.

Billionaire Barry Diller thinks Elon Musk has a 'form of megalomania' and is backing Trump after being rejected by Biden

https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-backing-donald-trump-rejected-joe-biden-barry-diller-2024-10

Barry Diller thinks Elon Musk is backing Donald Trump because he's bitter about being rejected by the Democrats, the billionaire told the "Fire and Fury" podcast.
Musk officially endorsed Trump after the former President was shot at a rally in Pennsylvania in July. He also created a super PAC, the America PAC, that has spent more than $80 million on the election.
"Why he has gone this way, I think, is out of some weird bitterness and rejection by the current administration," Diller told presenters Michael Wolff and James Truman.
Musk was once a supporter of Joe Biden, but the pair have often sparred verbally since Biden took office in 2021.
In July the Tesla and SpaceX CEO said he once considered the Democrats to favor meritocracy, "personal freedom" and "free speech," but now thought Republicans were "weirdly" more in line with those values.
Diller also said he thought Musk, the world's richest person, was not motivated by wealth but "a form of megalomania."

A meteorologist based in Washington, D.C., was accused of helping the government cover up manipulating a hurricane. In Houston, a forecaster was repeatedly told to “do research” into the weather’s supposed nefarious origins. And a meteorologist for a television station in Lansing, Mich., said she had received death threats.

“Murdering meteorologists won’t stop hurricanes,” wrote the forecaster in Michigan, Katie Nickolaou, in a social media post. “I can’t believe I just had to type that.”

Meteorologists’ role of delivering lifesaving weather forecasts and explaining climate science sometimes makes them targets for harassment, and this kind of abuse has been happening for years, weather experts said. But amid the conspiracy theories and falsehoods that have spiraled online after Hurricanes Helene and Milton, they say the attacks and threats directed at them have reached new heights.

>The relationship between Kamala Harris' team and Joe Biden's White House has been increasingly fraught in the final weeks before Election Day, 10 people familiar with the situation tell Axios.
>Why it matters: Biden's team wants Harris to win the election, but many senior Biden aides remain wounded by the president being pushed out of his re-election bid and are still adjusting to being in a supporting role on the campaign trail.
>"They're too much in their feelings," one close Harris ally said of the president's team — a sentiment shared even by some White House aides.
>Some on the Harris team say that top White House aides aren't sufficiently coordinating Biden's messaging and schedule to align with what's best for the vice president's campaign.
>Biden gave an impromptu press conference in the White House briefing room Friday just as Harris was about to do an event in Michigan, ensuring that her event would get less TV coverage than it otherwise would have.
>Earlier in the week, Harris criticized Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) for not taking her call about the recent hurricanes, only for Biden to praise DeSantis soon after for being "gracious" and "cooperative." (A person familiar with the situation told Axios that Biden hadn't been briefed on Harris' comments.)
>Biden has been eager to boast about a robust jobs report, helping to end the strike by the longshoremen's union and other perceived victories recently. Harris has been trying to focus on voters' pocketbook concerns, including inflation.
>One person involved with Harris' campaign told Axios: "The White House is lacking someone in the room thinking first and foremost about how things would affect the campaign."

Only 3 weeks left and it's all falling apart lmao. You know it's bad when even Axios is reporting on it.

Turns out the nevada man arrested with guns in the back of his truck in California had them for personal protection because he was a journalist who got death threats for supporting trump
He is currently free a $5000 bond for breaking a California law regarding transporting a loaded weapon.
https://www.newsweek.com/vem-miller-trump-assassination-attempt-coachella-1968401
Aman who was arrested with a loaded gun outside a Donald Trump rally in California has denied that he was intending to assassinate the former president.

Vem Miller, 49, of Las Vegas, was arrested Saturday at a checkpoint in Coachella Valley after he was allegedly found illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine. Miller was also driving an unregistered vehicle with a homemade license plate and had multiple passports and driver's licenses with different names, authorities said.

Chad Bianco, the Riverside County sheriff, told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that officers had "probably stopped another assassination attempt." There have previously been two suspected assassination attempts on Trump in recent months. The former president was left with minor injuries after a gunman opened fire at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, in July. Trump was also the target of an apparent assassination attempt at his golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, in September, though no shots were fired at the Republican.

The estranged niece of former President Donald Trump, Mary Trump, published a scathing critique on her Substack blog on Saturday, sounding the alarm about tech billionaire Elon Musk's growing influence over her uncle's quest to return to the White House in 2024.

In her blog post titled, "Donald's New Owner" Mary Trump writes that her uncle has always been susceptible to financial influence and that he "has always been for sale," adding that "it used to be shocking how many people were willing to prop him up in the hopes of profiting off his increasingly seamy ventures."

She pointed to a Friday report from The New York Times revealing regular communication between Musk and the former president, along with significant financial contributions to Trump's campaign.

According to Mary Trump, Musk, who owns X, formerly Twitter, has already invested at least $140 million in America PAC, a political action committee supporting Trump's campaign efforts. She claims that this figure could potentially balloon to $500 million, based on statements attributed to her uncle.

Meanwhile, Mary Trump doesn't mince words to describe the tech entrepreneur, referring to Musk as "the world's richest fascist" and a "South African jumping bean." She claims that Musk's interest in supporting her uncle stems from a desire to gain influence over potential future government policies.

"In exchange for Donald's willingness to throw Musk the keys to the federal government, Musk is throwing a considerable fortune, as well as the weight of Twitter's influence, behind the Republican candidate," Mary Trump writes.

In her blog post, she also characterizes this business arrangement as a "devil's bargain," drawing parallels to Trump's alleged connections with other powerful figures, including Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Local authorities identified a man who was arrested with a loaded gun at a rally hosted by former President Donald Trump in Southern California on Saturday as Vem Miller.

Miller, a 49-year-old Las Vegas resident was driving a black SUV at a checkpoint outside Trump's rally in Coachella when Riverside County sheriff deputies found him to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun and a high-capacity magazine, according to the sheriff's office.

Authorities say the suspect was taken into custody without incident and booked at a detention center in nearby Indio. Miller's arrest took place around 5 p.m. local time when Trump's rally was scheduled to begin.

Miller has since been released from the detention center on a $5,000 bail, local outlets reported. The Telegram reported that he is due to appear in court in January.

The sheriff's office said the incident "did not impact the safety" of Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, or the rallygoers. Newsweek reached out to Trump's campaign via email for comment on Sunday.

Chad Bianco, the Riverside County Sheriff and known supporter of Trump, told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that authorities had "probably stopped another assassination attempt."

Trump has fallen victim to two assassination attempts in the past few months. Ryan Routh was arrested on September 15 after being found with a firearm at Trump International Golf Club where the former president was playing golf. Routh never fired the gun at Trump, but Secret Service agents fired at him as he pointed his rifle toward the West Palm Beach golf course in Florida.

There appears to be no bottom to the Republican presidential nominee's demeaning behavior toward women.

Former President Donald Trump called Vice President Kamala Harris “retarded” at a recent dinner in New York City, where he also railed against Jewish voters supporting her amid the White House race, according to a new report.

Trump made the comments during the event last month at Trump Tower in Manhattan, The New York Times reported Saturday. As the GOP presidential nominee complained about the number of Jewish voters backing his Democratic rival, he reportedly said that they needed their heads examined for not standing with him despite his support for Israel.

Trump has previously sought to put the blame on Jewish voters for a potential election loss this year.

The dinner event, where Trump also suggested that contributors to his campaign needed to do more for him, was attended by high-profile donors including billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer. Billionaire investment banker Warren Stephens was present as well, along with former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos and her husband.

The Times, citing seven people with knowledge of the dinner who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said Trump suggested that donors should be grateful to him, with the former president boasting about giving them tax breaks.

The Times’ report comes as Trump has seemed to exhibit increasingly erratic behavior ahead of Election Day. On Thursday, Trump gave a long, rambling speech in Detroit, where he trashed the city he was speaking in, attempted to define the word “grocery” and got defensive about the crowds at his events.

On the same day in September when Trump suggested donors should increase their support, Harris was busy holding a campaign event in Los Angeles. She raised $28 million during the event.

The UK High Court has ruled calling a man "bald" can be considered sexual harassment.
A judge has said using the word about a man could breach equality laws because it is "inherently related to gender".

It follows a lengthy legal case brought by electrician Tony Finn who claimed he had been sexually harassed by his boss during a heated row in 2019.

One balding caller told Tom Swarbrick that the High Court ruling is "a load of waffle".

Jordan said there is "nothing sexual" about the insult.

He also pointed out baldness is not exclusive to gender.

“Commenting on it doesn't necessarily make someone guilty of sexual harassment,” he said.

He added it was more likely the judge may have had their own insecurities.
