On October 22, the Social Security Administration — run by Trump appointee Frank Bisignano — sent Americans an official email cheering the 'historic tax cut' in Trump's budget law and its new 'Trump Accounts.' It's at least the fourth time since July 2025 the agency has used its mailing list to promote Trump, and this one landed less than two weeks before Election Day.
Days before Election Day, the Justice Department asked a federal court to block Alaska from certifying its U.S. Senate result if Sen. Dan Sullivan loses by fewer votes than a second, unrelated candidate named Dan Sullivan received. 'I'm the one that said do it,' Trump told reporters. A Notre Dame election-law professor called it 'one of the worst' legal arguments he's ever seen.
Mike Moyski and Jackie Flavin say House Speaker Lisa Demuth sat in their living room after their 10-year-old daughter Harper was killed at Annunciation Catholic Church and promised not to block a floor vote on an assault-weapons ban. When the Senate passed one, she kept it off the House floor — and later bragged to GOP activists that she 'led the effort to stop Democrats from taking our guns.'
Honduran industrialist Lenir Pérez wrote a $100,000 check to Maria Elvira Salazar's joint fundraising committee this year — tied for the most of any donor — while he faces charges in Honduras over an iron-oxide mine in a protected national park. Salazar, who chairs the House subcommittee that covers Latin America, won't say what they discussed when he hosted her at his Florida estate.
Florida Sen. Ashley Moody is the sponsor of a bill that would give makers of quartz countertops the kind of lawsuit shield gun makers get — while stone workers, including one in Tampa, are dying of a lung disease from cutting it. The CEO of America's largest quartz maker and his son gave her victory fund $24,000, and $14,000 of it went on to her campaign.
Records from Ken Paxton's 2023 impeachment show his so-called blind trust invested $600,000 in a company built by a man who had just finished a federal prison sentence for mortgage fraud. The company then wired the Paxtons more than $83,000 in six months while it fell behind on taxes owed to local schools.

Ashley Moody won her primary and immediately claimed her opponent Angie Nixon wants to defund the police, defund the military, open the borders and let noncitizens vote.
A CNN KFile review found Georgia's Republican Senate nominee joked about pushing Pelosi from a plane, suggested U.S. leaders deserved to hang from a helicopter, kept thanking a state senator censured for calling for 'more gallows,' and called January 6 a tour by 'peaceful grandmothers.'
