President Trump is getting Republicans fired up before the midterm elections, with the help of Nicki Minaj.
Joblessness reaching historic lows under the Trump economy.
We might have found out what Ilhan Omar’s real name actually is.
DOJ Calls Ilhan “Omar” by Her Real Name
Federal prosecutors in a recent court filing referred to Rep. Ilhan Omar as “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” the name of her ex-husband, renewing long-circulating allegations that she married her brother to help him gain U.S. immigration status.
The filing, signed by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro, sought to unseal materials tied to a federal search warrant for Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence. During the raid, investigators seized 17 items and collected DNA samples that sources say they hope will help prove immigration fraud.
Omar is also under investigation for potential financial crimes related to reports of her multimillion-dollar net worth. In a recent interview, when asked if her ex-husband is her brother, she replied with a tentative “Not to my knowledge,” which quickly went viral and drew further scrutiny.
Trump Rallies Republicans Nationwide Ahead of Midterms
With nine days until the midterms, President Trump is barnstorming the country with rallies in Florida, Georgia, Michigan and beyond to energize the Republican base.
His stops span deep-red states like Oklahoma and Alabama as well as competitive Senate battlegrounds including Ohio, Texas and Iowa. Recent polling, which leans left, shows Democrats narrowly ahead in several of those races, putting control of Congress in play.
The intensive travel underscores Trump’s push to mobilize voters and expand the map before Election Day, in keeping with his pattern of pulling major upsets at the expense of Democrats.
Evidence Piles Up On Michigan Senate Candidate’s Terrorist Connections
Documented evidence links Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood through family admissions, his mother’s work for a group later designated for al-Qaeda and Hamas ties, and his own past support for Brotherhood-linked Egyptian leaders.
He served as vice president of a Muslim Students Association chapter rooted in Brotherhood networks. El-Sayed has equated Hamas with the Israeli military, called both “evil,” and faced scrutiny over donors tied to groups that celebrated the October 7 attacks.
These connections and his responses continue to fuel questions about radical Islamic associations.
U.S. Jobless Claims Fall to Near-Historic Lows Under Trump
U.S. applications for unemployment benefits fell by 6,000 to 194,000 in the week ended October 17, coming in below the expected 200,000 and marking the lowest level since July’s 189,000 reading—the lowest single-week figure since 1969.
The January-through-October average is now the lowest for the first ten months of any year since 1969, when the American workforce was roughly half its current size.
The four-week moving average declined to 197,750, the lowest since 2022 and essentially tied for the lowest of the modern era, while the three-month average sits at 201,700, the weakest such stretch since December 1969.
These persistently low layoff numbers point to a remarkably stable labor market and continued economic strength under the Trump administration.
Nicki Minaj Joins Trump to Rally Support for Mike Rogers
Rap star Nicki Minaj joined President Donald Trump at a packed Detroit rally on Sunday to support GOP Senate candidate Mike Rogers and help defeat Democrat Abdul El-Sayed in the final stretch before the midterms.
Minaj has openly declared herself one of Trump’s strongest fans and said the intense leftist backlash and hate she receives for backing him only steels her resolve and motivates her to support him even more.
In a statement ahead of the event, she stressed that these midterms are the most important of our lifetimes and urged voters to give Trump a strong congressional team so he can keep delivering programs like Trump Accounts.
On stage she helped energize the large crowd, with Trump responding, “We love Nicki,” as the pair made a late push for Republican turnout in Michigan.
Trump EPA Delivers $1.6 Trillion in Projected Savings Through Deregulation
President Trump’s EPA has delivered $1.6 trillion in savings for Americans through an aggressive deregulatory agenda.
The agency cancelled costly grants and contracts while rolling back burdensome Biden-era rules on vehicles, power plants, and emissions. Key moves included rescinding the Endangerment Finding and using Congressional Review Act resolutions to eliminate unnecessary mandates.
These common-sense reforms lower costs, restore choice, and protect the environment at the same time.
