Part of that involves attacking ICE and Border Patrol, and making it impossible for those federal law enforcement agencies to do their work to keep Wisconsin communities safe.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 19:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Curtis]]>https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/10/08/crowley-blue-lives-matter-bad-for-communities-defund-the-police-n2684255<![CDATA[What happened to "reading, writing, and arithmetic"? There was a time when America's public schools — that literally has one job — focused on teaching those fundamentals to children. But those days are long gone and what we have now is a bloated, expensive, and failing system of government-run indoctrination centers. To appease her political preferences, New York Times writer Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her daughter to one of those failing indoctrination centers. It spent $52,000 a year and Hannah-Jones' daughter couldn't write or do math.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Curtis]]>https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/10/08/wokal-distance-human-rights-campaign-radical-agenda-in-schools-n2684257<![CDATA[A new video shows an Ohio Democrat operative admitting that electing Sherrod Brown to the Senate is key to getting far-left policies passed.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 18:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Scott McClallen]]>https://townhall.com/news/scott-mcclallen/2026/10/08/democrat-operative-says-electing-brown-is-key-to-building-progressive-movement-n2684382<![CDATA[Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Hasan will be executed December 3.

Mail-in absentee voting is down almost 18 percent across the Dairy State compared to the 2022 midterms, and the declines are heavier in blue areas like the cities of Milwaukee and Madison.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 16:45:00 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Curtis]]>https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/10/08/wi-democrat-enthusiasm-n2684256<![CDATA[Things must not be good for David Crowley's campaign. It's the only reason why he's pulling out the abortion card this late in the governor's race, and going all-in on an extreme position to codify child-murder in Wisconsin's state constitution. Right now, state law prohibits abortion after 20 weeks gestation — a position supported by the vast majority of Americans.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 16:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Curtis]]>https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/10/08/crowley-abortion-n2684254<![CDATA[Citizens for Free Enterprise, a fiscally conservative political group with a heavy presence in Arizona, Georgia, Nebraska and Wisconsin, is wading into the upcoming midterm races at the federal and state level.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 16:15:00 -0400<![CDATA[Cameron Arcand]]>https://townhall.com/news/cameron-arcand/2026/10/08/conservative-group-creates-tracker-for-socialist-candidates-nationwide-n2684355<![CDATA[Amnesty International just got put in its place by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 16:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Dmitri Bolt]]>https://townhall.com/news/dmitri-bolt/2026/10/08/rubio-amnesty-international-n2684343<![CDATA[In the closing days of the 2026 midterms, everyone is shoring up their messaging and GOTV operations and placing last-minute ad buys. The Democrats have their freaks in Texas, second-cousin lovers in Maine, and terrorist sympathizers in Michigan. It’s a mess, and their unwillingness to forcefully slap down the far-left clowns taking over the base doesn’t help. It goes beyond progressive views on the economy; it’s full-blown communism. Read the words. Even comedian Bill Maher knows these people are nuts, especially since one of their goals is to bankrupt the white middle class.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:45:31 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/10/08/democrats-say-they-reject-communism-but-this-latest-vote-exposes-the-whole-ruse-n2684360<![CDATA[Michael Tracey has been great on some topics, though not so good on others. That’s fine — this is America, and he’s surely enjoying the benefits of being an independent reporter. He can do what he wants, and he’s an unabashed progressive. On Russian collusion, he was one of the original skeptics who did a good job tearing apart the so-called bombshells and exposing them as nothingburgers.&nbsp;]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:30:39 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/10/08/why-an-independent-reporter-blew-up-at-ithacas-common-council-over-the-cornell-case-n2684353<![CDATA[New York City's First Lady Rama Duwaji has made no secret that she hates Israel and Jews. She recently went on an "Islamic wellness retreat" where organizers called for the destruction of Israel and the "cleansing" of the nation's Jews. She's liked numerous social media posts celebrating Islamic terrorism targeting Jews and Israel, including the October 7, 2023, terrorist attacks facilitated by Hamas, and she worked with an antisemitic writer, Susan Abulhawa, who called Jews "rootless parasites" and "cockroaches." Duwaji provided artwork for one of Abulhawa's essays. At the time, Mamdani dismissed his wife's antisemitic proclivities by calling her a "private citizen" and that her artwork for Abulhawa was contracted through a third party.]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:15:58 -0400<![CDATA[Amy Curtis]]>https://townhall.com/news/amy-curtis/2026/10/08/rama-duwaji-artwork-for-anti-israel-olive-oil-company-n2684337<![CDATA[We all know New York Attorney General Letitia James isn’t QB1 on investigations. She arguably disqualified herself by publicly declaring on the Cornell case, in which a Jane Doe alleges she was drugged and gang-raped at a fraternity in October 2024. Yet Gov. Kathy Hochul, another clown, appointed her as special prosecutor to lead a new criminal probe into the case. Authorities filed no charges after investigating the initial incident. Doe filed a civil suit in September 2026, sparking this new media frenzy. Several men have been named. One of them is now trying to remove James from the case entirely (via LA Mag):]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:00:39 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/10/08/please-leave-letitia-one-of-the-men-accused-in-cornell-case-files-to-have-james-removed-n2684358<![CDATA[He’s supposed to give Texas Republicans a run for their money in the U.S. Senate race. Ken Paxton is supposed to lose, if you believe the polling. So, where the hell is Democrat James Talarico? He’s been missing for almost two weeks. No, it’s not an Unsolved Mysteries episode, but politically, he’s been MIA from the campaign trail in a race where Democrats can’t have their people running silent and deep. Is it because we learned earlier this month that Talarico is a Marxist? Where is this guy (via PJ Media):]]>Thu, 08 Oct 2026 15:00:17 -0400<![CDATA[Matt Vespa]]>https://townhall.com/news/mattvespa/2026/10/08/wheres-low-t-jimmy-james-talarico-has-been-missing-from-the-trail-for-almost-two-weeks-n2684363<![CDATA[Florida Democrat Jared Moskowitz has quite the campaign pitch for the 2026 midterms: "Over 20 years in congress, I've passed one whole bill.
