DraftKings, FanDuel and Fanatics have put $41 million into a new group, Win for America, according to a Wednesday filing with the Federal Election Commission. The striking total signals that the group is likely to be one of the biggest spenders in the 2026 election cycle. Win for America operates two other outside groups: American Future, which will engage in Democratic primary races, and American Conservative Fund, which will focus on Republican ones.

Last month, the Interior Department hired a Virginia firm, Atlantic Industrial Coatings, to repair, resurface and paint the pool. President Trump said publicly that he had recommended the firm because of good work it did on the swimming pools at one of his golf clubs. However, Mr. Trump did an about-face early Tuesday, distancing himself from the company. “I didn’t give out the contract, ‘Interior’ did, to a contractor I did not know, and have never used before,” Mr. Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. Asked to explain Mr. Trump’s reversal, a White House official said that the president did not have a personal relationship with this contractor, but that as a private citizen and builder, he was familiar with the company’s previous work. The official asked not to be named to describe the president’s relationship with the company.

“This is the People’s House, this is not Donald Trump’s, or Joe Biden’s or the next president’s,” said Phil Mendelson, who sits on the planning commission in his role as the chairman of the D.C. Council. He has been a lone objector trying to raise these questions before the commission. Now, barring intervention by the courts, time is apparently up to resolve them. “I still don’t understand,” Mr. Mendelson said, “why the ceiling height has to be 40 feet.”

As he repeated to Kelly, Sheehy says he fell while hiking, which made his gun go off – and the only reason he went to the hospital was because he was worried the bullet already in his arm from his service in Afghanistan might have become dislodged. Sheehy nonetheless also contends that he refused to report being shot in Afghanistan by friendly fire because he did not want his fellow military members to face an investigation over a relatively small injury, as he put it in his interview with Kelly.

This production may include fake or falsely submitted images, documents or videos, as everything that was sent to the FBI by the public was included in the production that is responsive to the Act. Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election. To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.
John: Hey, Bush is now at 37% approval. I feel much less like Kevin McCarthy screaming in traffic. But I wonder what his base is -- Tyrone: 27%. John: ... you said that immmediately, and with some authority. Tyrone: Obama vs. Alan Keyes. Keyes was from out of state, so you can eliminate any established political base; both candidates were black, so you can factor out racism; and Keyes was plainly, obviously, completely crazy. Batshit crazy. Head-trauma crazy. But 27% of the population of Illinois voted for him. They put party identification, personal prejudice, whatever ahead of rational judgement. Hell, even like 5% of Democrats voted for him. That's crazy behaviour. I think you have to assume a 27% Crazification Factor in any population.

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.”

I told him that I was fine with office work—with my analyst background, it seemed like a better fit for my skill set anyway. His attitude shift was subtle, but instant and unmistakable; this was the wrong attitude and the wrong answer. “Just to be upfront, the goal is to put as many guns and badges out in the field as possible,” he said.

Bueermann added that it appeared that the officer experienced “an accidental discharge.” “The gentleman in the car is probably very fortunate that as a result of that discharge that the other officers did not engage in what’s called contagious fire, where they think the driver shot at them,” he said. “He’s very, very fortunate that they didn’t kill him.”

AI Overview "Extracting the micturation" is a humorous or slightly awkward way of saying urinating or voiding urine, combining the idea of "extracting" (pulling out) with "micturition," the formal medical term for peeing. While not standard English, people use it playfully to mean "getting the pee out," often to describe a strong urge to go or a funny situation with needing the bathroom, as seen in social media posts. Micturition: The medical term for the act of urinating (releasing urine). Extracting: Pulling or taking something out. Meaning: The humorous phrase effectively means "the act of getting urine out of the body".

In an interview, Bonds gave conflicting answers about her future. At one point, she indicated she was indeed running and planned to make an announcement in the coming days. However, she also said she was “50-50” on pursuing another bid and that she was “80 percent there” in making a decision “one way or the other.” “I’m not as young as I once was, and I’m sure everyone is aware of that,” Bonds said. “But sometimes you can continue to kick that can down the road and it will stay in the lane. And so I’m really thinking about it very strongly.”

Ted Cruz @tedcruz, 28 Sep 2025: To all the bots saying she never mentioned the Jews, it says “find out which foreign government or powerful people would take heinous actions.” She’s talking about Belgians?

Hardly any of the big collections survived the war. If you've damaged them… V: Admirable concern, Commander. Yet it's deuced odd, isn't it? How you can show so much concern for porcelain and plastic… and show so little for flesh and blood. Do you remember, Commander? Do you remember when it was people gathered in this sordid little enclosure? People half dead with starvation and dysentery?
