The 2026 midterms aren&#8217;t even over yet, and Vice President JD Vance has already dropped a bomb into the 2028 presidential election cycle: he might not run.
Vance told the audience at a Michigan town hall that he had not yet made a decision about whether or not he would seek the Republican presidential nomination in 2028 — and said it was certainly a possibility that he would sit the election out.
Host Tony Dokoupil started the ball rolling by jumping on a comment Vance had made earlier in the evening — namely that he might be &#8220;out of a job&#8221; in a couple of years.
&#8220;The structure of the sentence suggests that you&#8217;d be running for a continued job,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Not necessarily,&#8221; Vance laughed.
&#8220;No?&#8221; Dokoupil asked. &#8220;So there&#8217;s a chance — okay, let&#8217;s go right there: Is there a chance that you don&#8217;t run for president in 2028?&#8221;
&#8220;Of course there’s a chance!&#8221; Vance&#8217;s reaction was immediate. &#8220;Yeah, man, we’ve got four little kids, my wife has never loved politics. She loves public service. I think you know you can do a lot of good in this job, and I’ve tried to do as much good as possible.&#8221;
&#8220;I really — people ask me this question all the time. I think they assume that because I&#8217;m a politician, &#8216;Of course he&#8217;s going to run for president in 2028,'&#8221; he continued adding that, as a rule, he tended to procrastinate on major life decisions and only make up his mind at the last minute.
&#8220;My wife will tell you this: I&#8217;m a procrastinator. I hate &#8216;thinking about it,'&#8221; he added. &#8220;And what will happen is that first of all, after all of these fine people elect Mike Rogers United States Senator for the state of Michigan, what&#8217;s going to happen is, they don&#8217;t have to think about it. And I actually will have to make a decision.&#8221;
Throwing up his hands, Vance shook his head and concluded, &#8220;But you know, anything could happen, man.&#8221;
President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/vance-reveals-who-will-decide-2028-gop-presidential-nominee">Donald Trump</a> has refrained from naming a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-takes-a-spontaneous-2028-presidential-straw-poll-vance-or-rubio">chosen successor</a>, making it clear that he has confidence in a number of members of his own cabinet should any of them decide to run for the 2028 nomination. He has said specifically that he thought Vance would do a great job, and has also voiced support for Secretary of State Marco Rubio

Police in Wichita, Kansas, released the 34-year-old woman who drove her truck through a crowd at the Stryker Sports Complex, killing two people and leaving another ten injured. No charges have yet been filed, and no explanation was given.
The Wichita Police Department released a <a href="https://x.com/WichitaPolice/status/2111885699850862763">lengthy statement</a> via X, giving updates across several aspects of the tragic incident that left Adrian Cole, 6, and Nicholas Schafer, 35, dead.
Investigators interviewed more than 30 witnesses — including the two children who were in the truck with the driver — before speaking with the driver herself.
&#8220;Following the interviews, investigators consulted with the Sedgwick County District Attorney&#8217;s Office. The 34-year-old driver was subsequently released pending the results of toxicology testing and a mechanical examination of the vehicle,&#8221; the police department posted. &#8220;No charges have been filed at this time, and investigators continue working to determine the circumstances that led to the crash.&#8221;
The statement also gave new details about the victims, two of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.
&#8220;Emergency personnel responded and immediately began providing medical care to those injured. Despite lifesaving efforts, two people died at the scene. They have been identified as 6-year-old Adrian Cole and 35-year-old Nicholas Schafer, both of McPherson, Kansas. The two victims were not related,&#8221; the statement read.
&#8220;Ten people injured in the crash were transported to Ascension Via Christi and Wesley Medical Center with injuries described as noncritical. An additional 61-year-old woman was transported after experiencing medical complications unrelated to traumatic injuries, bringing the total number of people transported to local hospitals to 11,&#8221; it continued. &#8220;The ages and genders of the 10 people injured in the crash are: a 5-year-old girl, a 5-year-old boy, two 8-year-old boys, a 9-year-old girl, a 28-year-old woman, a 32-year-old man, a 59-year-old woman, a 65-year-old woman, and a 68-year-old man.&#8221;
The investigation is ongoing. The Wichita Police Department has asked anyone with information about the crash to contact the department or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers. It also encouraged anyone who needs mental health support after the incident to reach out to Sedgewick County COMCARE.
&#8220;Our hearts are with the families of Adrian and Nicholas as they face an unimaginable loss. What should have been a day of children playing soccer and families spending time together ended in tragedy,&#8221; Police Chief Joe Sullivan said. &#8220;We are also thinking about those who were injured, their loved ones and everyone who witnessed what happened. We know this tragedy has affected many people throughout our community, and we want those families to know they are not alone. Our officers and investigators will continue working to understand exactly what happened.&#8221;

Despite violent protests and riots sweeping France, the NFL is moving forward with its game in Paris on Sunday, October 25.
ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter posted the news Sunday via X, saying that the game — featuring the New Orleans Saints against the Pittsburgh Steelers — was still on the schedule and the Saints were set for departure for Paris in the next 24 hours.
&#8220;Saints are scheduled to leave tonight for Paris, where they play the Steelers next Sunday at Stade de France. Despite intense riots and social unrest there, the NFL says the game is on,&#8221; Schefter posted, sharing a statement from the league.
&#8220;Preparations continue as scheduled for NFL events and the game at Stade de France next Sunday,” the NFL&#8217;s statement said. &#8220;We continue to work closely with local authorities and partners on all operational and security matters. We are also providing the two clubs with regular updates. There’s been no disruption or impact at league sites.&#8221;
The New Orleans Saints also <a href="https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/nfl-addresses-safety-concerns-for-saints-steelers-in-paris-pittsburgh-new-orleans-protests-riots/article_460b3cac-ae26-435d-8c12-6bc00dbb6ce6.html">released a statement</a> ahead of the team&#8217;s travel.
&#8220;We concur with the NFL’s statement and are planning to play the game,” Greg Bensel, the team’s senior vice president of communications, said. &#8220;In addition to working closely with the NFL, we have also maintained daily security updates with our security partners in France. Members of our football operations staff and internal security team have been on the ground in France for the past few days, and there has been no disruption or impact at any of our team sites.&#8221;
The <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/france-burns-palestinian-flags-fly-over-frances-republic-statue-as-riots-rock-the-country">protests</a>, which began over school conditions and the rising cost of living, have since escalated into violent riots across the country. Palestinian flags have appeared at a number of the demonstrations. French journalist Paul Amar <a href="https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2111787520900112759?s=46&amp;t=5nB3R1hthzMlYMrXjZyN8Q">claimed</a> on CNews that rioters in Marseille had the addresses of Jewish shop owners, and that every Jewish-owned business on one street in the city was torched while Muslim-owned shops nearby were spared. Amar did not cite a source for the claim. The Jerusalem Post <a href="https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/article-912093">reported</a> that while some Jewish-owned businesses in Marseille were damaged, there was no evidence they had been singled out.
As The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/france-burns-palestinian-flags-fly-over-frances-republic-statue-as-riots-rock-the-country">reported</a>:

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson doubled down on Sunday, saying that he did not regret telling incumbent Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) to &#8220;shut up&#8221; during their most recent debate.
Speaking to CNN anchor Dana Bash on Sunday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; Jackson claimed that he did not regret his reaction because he&#8217;d felt like Collins was &#8220;talking down&#8221; to him at the time when she suggested a protester at the debate had been one of his supporters.
&#8220;This week there was a protester at the debate that you had with Susan Collins,&#8221; Bash began. &#8220;She responded by saying, &#8216;This must be a Troy Jackson supporter,&#8217; and you told the senator, &#8216;Shut up.&#8217; Do you regret saying that?&#8221;
&#8220;Ah, no, you know she said that it was a Troy supporter, she accused me of setting that up. I had no idea who it was, I was surprised whenever he jumped up out of there,&#8221; he said, claiming that Collins had accused him of setting up the disruption rather than simply suggesting the protester was likely a supporter of his.
Jackson went on to say that he and Collins had kept things civil in their earlier debates, but that he was not going to sit quietly while she condescended to him.
&#8220;What I&#8217;m not gonna be is, you know, talked down to by Senator Collins,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to be accused of things like that &#8230; so I&#8217;m not going to apologize for that, no.&#8221;
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/17/us/politics/susan-collins-troy-jackson-shut-up-debate.html">reported</a> on the scene that played out, noting that the 19-year-old protester had yelled something about data centers during the debate.
&#8220;This is obviously one of Troy’s supporters,&#8221;Collins quipped at the time — but did not, as he&#8217;d claimed, suggest that Jackson had a hand in planning the disruption.
&#8220;Oh, shut up. I did not — I didn’t — I don’t even know that kid,&#8221; Jackson shot back.
The protester, identified as Henry Elgie, confirmed Collins&#8217; suspicions and said that he planned to vote for Jackson — but also said that there had been &#8220;zero coordination&#8221; with Jackson&#8217;s campaign prior to his interruption.
Collins argued that Jackson&#8217;s harsh response — to what should have been a throwaway quip at the debate — was indicative of his overall demeanor and the way he treated women in particular.
&#8220;I was struck by how reflexive the response, ‘Oh, shut up,’ was,” Ms. Collins, the longest-serving Republican woman in Senate history, <a class="css-povzk" title="" href="https://www.foxnews.com/video/6406992078112" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Fox News</a>, saying that it was &#8220;very telling&#8221; that it had &#8220;seemed like such an automatic, quick reply was very telling.&#8221;
Collins also said that Jackson, who had previously served as the state Senate president, has a &#8220;reputation&#8221; for similarly abrasive remarks, &#8220;particularly when he’s dealing with women with whom he disagrees.&#8221;

President Donald Trump offered his full endorsement to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday, saying that he was the best person to lead the Jewish state in its continued efforts to beat back the Iranian regime.
Trump issued a lengthy statement via his <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/117462449149582042">Truth Social</a> platform, saying, &#8220;BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!&#8221;
&#8220;To the Great People of Israel: Bibi Netanyahu has been a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran, with its 51 year old chant, &#8216;Death to Israel, Death to America! We will destroy the Little Satan and the Big Satan,'&#8221; Trump began.
Trump went on to argue that Israel choosing anyone other than Netanyahu would leave the U.S. to finish off Iran on its own — a burden he said he had no interest in taking on.
&#8220;What Country can survive when things such as this are allowed to be said, because eventually, they always end up being true? It would have been only a question of time until Iran would have put that ominous phrase into effect, but they have been systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially, and unless they change their ways, rapidly, we will soon finish the job,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so.&#8221;
The president praised his Israeli counterpart, saying that Netanyahu had displayed strength in the face of opposition — even when that opposition had come from some within Israel itself — and said that he represented exactly what the United States needed from its Middle Eastern ally.
&#8220;Bibi Netanyahu has been Strong, Brave, and Brilliant in the face of tremendous opposition, including that coming from even Israel, itself. Despite all of that, he has endured and, in fact, he has thrived! I have watched Bibi under the most trying of times,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Normal men or women in such situations would have wilted under the pressure — But Bibi did not wilt, he actually got stronger, and maintains that same Strength today. This is the kind of Partner that the United States of America is demanding of Israel, a Country for which it has done so much.&#8221;
&#8220;Please let this Letter serve to represent my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-Election as Prime Minister of Israel. BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!&#8221; the president concluded.
Israel&#8217;s elections are scheduled to take place in just over a week, on October 27.

The raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar&#8217;s (D-MN) home reportedly moved forward after federal law enforcement reviewed a phone seized from the Minnesota congresswoman&#8217;s sister, author and health care executive Sahra Noor.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/us/politics/ilhan-omar-investigation-phone.html">reported</a> that Noor&#8217;s phone was taken earlier this year as investigators reportedly sought to build a case against Omar for conspiracy to commit immigration fraud — and that text messages sent between members of her family are being used to bolster that case.
Homeland Security agents, the outlet reported, had used those messages to convince a federal judge to sign off on the search warrant that was executed on Monday at Omar&#8217;s home in Washington, D.C.
The investigation into Omar and her family — and whether or not they are guilty of immigration fraud — began during former President Joe Biden&#8217;s term in the White House but has ramped up in recent weeks as President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration has also vowed to investigate whether the Minnesota Democrat is guilty of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-welcomed-investigations-now-shes-getting-what-she-asked-for">marriage fraud</a>.
Investigators who searched the congresswoman&#8217;s home in Washington, D.C., were reportedly looking for documents that were filled out by Omar and her father when they first came to the United States in an effort to determine whether or not her citizenship is valid.
Omar referred to the search as politically motivated and said it was proof that President Trump was weaponizing the Justice Department against his critics — and has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omar-demands-authorities-return-passport-computers-seized-in-home-search">demanded</a> that the items taken from her home during the search be returned to her.
Omar has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ilhan-omars-staff-altered-her-birthdate-after-she-was-elected-heres-why-that-matters">long claimed</a> that she gained U.S. citizenship at the age of 17 when her father became a naturalized citizen in 2000.
As The Daily Wire previously reported, if Omar was indeed 17 at the time, she could have derived citizenship automatically through her father’s naturalization under the law then in effect, provided she was an unmarried permanent resident under 18 and met the requirements regarding her parents’ status. But questions have been raised about her age, particularly after Omar&#8217;s congressional staff had her listed birth year changed from 1981 to 1982 after a political opponent raised questions about it.
Further complicating Omar&#8217;s account is the fact that a 2023 search for any record or proof of Omar’s father’s naturalization came up empty, the New York Post <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/10/13/us-news/the-missing-immigration-records-on-rep-ilhan-omars-dad-that-may-have-prompted-raid-on-dc-home/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_source=twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.
AJ Kern, Omar’s opponent in the 2022 Democratic primary, had requested information about Omar&#8217;s father during the campaign — in order to verify the congresswoman&#8217;s claims about her own citizenship — and was informed a year later that the record search had failed to locate proof that he had been naturalized, the Post reported.

Michigan Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed confirmed on Saturday that his sister-in-law Mariam Jukaku landed on the terrorist watch list when former President Barack Obama was still in the White House.
El-Sayed, who is scheduled to campaign alongside Obama in the coming days, told <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/michigan-democrat-confirms-sister-in-law-terror-watchlist-lawsuit-days-before-obama-campaign-appearance">Fox News</a> senior correspondent Mike Tobin that Jukaku&#8217;s name had been added to the federal Terrorist Screening Dataset — which is more commonly referred to as &#8220;the Watchlist&#8221; — and had pursued legal avenues to have her name removed.
&#8220;There&#8217;s reporting in a lawsuit that now backs it up. And documentation with the lawsuit that Mariam Jukaku, who&#8217;s your sister-in-law, that she was on the terrorist watch list?&#8221; Tobin prompted.
&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; El-Sayed said she had been added to the list, but then argued that she&#8217;d never done anything to warrant her placement there — and claimed that the system operated on a &#8220;guilty-until-proven-innocent&#8221; philosophy when the names on the list tilted in certain ethnic directions.
&#8220;She did nothing wrong and was captured on that and then sued and got off. You&#8217;ve got this system where folks are guilty until proven innocent because they&#8217;ve got different kinds of names, because of the infrastructure that people like Mike Rogers set up,&#8221; he said, trying to tie the issue to his opponent, former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI).
Jukaku&#8217;s complaint, filed in 2016, alleges that she was selected for additional screening at an airport, but was not told why the extra scrutiny was deemed necessary. She said at the time of the filing that she believes she was removed from the list by 2016.
El-Sayed claimed that she &#8220;sued and got off&#8221; from the lawsuit, but Fox News Digital reported that the ruling favoring the plaintiffs was overturned in 2021 — and a companion lawsuit from 2017, in which the plaintiffs sought damages, was dismissed.
El-Sayed has been on his back foot for much of the campaign as his association with radical pro-communist streamer <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/el-sayed-shrugs-off-hasan-pikers-9-11-comments">Hasan Piker</a> has raised red flags — and his <a href="https://x.com/Acyn/status/2111568649513587167">apparent inability</a> to take a firm stance disavowing the Muslim Brotherhood.

Attorneys involved in the &#8220;Cornell 7&#8221; case are trading barbs over media appearances, with each accusing the other of seeking an advantage in the court of public opinion.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cornell-accuser-faces-new-legal-fight-over-what-she-can-say">Jane Doe&#8217;s</a> attorney Thomas Giuffra submitted a letter to the court Wednesday urging it not to impose an order that would restrict all parties from discussing the case with the media. Attorneys for defendant Diego Sarabia had asked the judge on Monday to restrict lawyers and parties from commenting on the case, accusing Giuffra of running a media campaign that could taint the jury pool. Giuffra defended his own media appearances and accused defense attorneys of leaking documents to the press.
Giuffra named <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/15/cornell-7-accused-of-leaking-documents-by-jane-does-lawyers/">entertainment site TMZ</a> in the letter, claiming that &#8220;2 Angry Men&#8221; podcast cohost Mark Geragos was using his relationship with the outlet to get information in front of the public because his daughter, Teny Geragos, is representing defendant Winston Lee.
Despite his accusations, Giuffra said he opposed restrictions on media appearances because he believed the defense would use surrogates to push a narrative and he would be left with no way to respond.
Andrew Miltenberg, who is representing defendant Gillio Lopes, fired back in a statement to <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/15/cornell-7-lawyer-says-jane-doe-attorney-is-a-hypocrite/">TMZ</a> on Thursday, saying in part, &#8220;Apparently, Mr. Giuffra believes media coverage is appropriate only when it serves his client&#8217;s interests.&#8221;
&#8220;The hypocrisy in Mr. Giuffra&#8217;s sudden outrage over defense counsel speaking to the media is astonishing. He spent weeks promoting his client&#8217;s allegations on television, in newspapers and across the internet, helping turn this case into a national media spectacle before the seven publicly identified defendants had a meaningful opportunity even to review the allegations, much less respond,&#8221; he wrote.
Miltenberg noted that Giuffra named the seven defendants in the lawsuit while protecting his client&#8217;s identity. While Miltenberg said he fully understood the importance of protecting her identity, he added that &#8220;[Giuffra] knew those young men would face intense public scrutiny, and he seemed perfectly comfortable with the resulting media frenzy when his side was driving the story.&#8221;
Doe alleges that seven fraternity members sexually assaulted her at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. The men have denied the allegations, saying either that the encounter was consensual or that they were not involved.
Miltenberg denied that he or any other defense attorney leaked documents and said Giuffra should substantiate the accusations.
&#8220;Jane Doe deserves privacy, respect and the opportunity to be heard. So does Gillio Lopes. Mr. Giuffra doesn&#8217;t get to use the media as a megaphone for his allegations and then demand that the defense put down its microphone. He cannot have it both ways,&#8221; Miltenberg concluded.

Senate nominee James Talarico (D-TX) drew accusations from CNN commentator Scott Jennings that he had misrepresented his own position on the SAVE America Act while speaking to a U.S. Navy veteran at his Wednesday night town hall.
When the veteran asked Talarico about the SAVE America Act — which would require Americans to prove their citizenship when they registered to vote — Talarico claimed that he did not know enough about it to speak intelligently on the topic. Talarico instead said he supports what he called &#8220;Fair Voter ID,&#8221; which would include student IDs. But as Jennings later pointed out on &#8220;CNN NewsNight,&#8221; Talarico has spoken out in opposition to the SAVE America Act, claiming it would rob Americans, &#8220;particularly our black neighbors,&#8221; of their right to vote.
Jennings brought up the Navy veteran, who had said at the outset of the exchange that he supported the SAVE America Act and wanted to know whether Talarico would vote in favor of it.
The CNN commentator posted a clip of the segment on social media, <a href="https://x.com/ScottJenningsKY/status/2110757559699193993">claiming</a> Talarico &#8220;straight up LIED&#8221; to the Navy veteran.
&#8220;Talarico looked him in the eyes and said effectively, &#8216;I really don&#8217;t know that much about it, I don&#8217;t want to comment on things I don&#8217;t know anything about,'&#8221; Jennings said. He then noted that the Texas Democrat had given a lengthy answer on the topic in August, &#8220;trashing the SAVE America Act and claiming it was only designed to disenfranchise black voters.&#8221;
The clip then showed an earlier video of Talarico, who said, &#8220;We as human beings have the right to shape our own destinies and we do that through the vote. And so many brave Americans — so many brave black Americans have fought and died for that right. And so for politicians in Washington or Austin, as they&#8217;re now doing with the SAVE Act, they are trying to rob our neighbors, particularly our black neighbors, of their God-given rights.&#8221;
Jennings argued that Talarico&#8217;s earlier criticism undercut his professed lack of familiarity with the legislation and accused him of avoiding a direct disagreement with a veteran.
&#8220;What I learned about Talarico in that moment is that he has trouble looking someone in the eye who he knows disagrees with him and just saying, you know what? You and I are just going to have to agree to disagree on this,&#8221; he said.
Other panelists argued that Talarico had done that throughout the evening, but Jennings pushed back: &#8220;He lied to that veteran, he is more slippery than a wet panther.&#8221;

&#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221; star RJ Mitte was reportedly dealing with some family-related stress in the days leading up to his death by suicide on Monday.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bad-star-dead-at-34">Mitte</a> was under pressure from his fiancée to choose between her and his mother — and he appeared reluctant to do so, TMZ <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/10/14/rj-mitte-fiancee-gave-him-an-ultimatum/">reported</a> on Tuesday. Citing &#8220;multiple sources close to his family,&#8221; the outlet said that Kennedy Suarez — who got engaged to Mitte in 2025 — did not get along with Mitte&#8217;s mother, Dyna, and believed that she was putting a strain on their relationship.
The outlet also said that Mitte, who was close with his sister Lacianne, did not want to cut off relationships with his family — but it appeared as though his engagement was still on at the time of his death.
Mitte <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-bad-stars-cause-of-death-revealed">died by suicide</a> on Monday — October 12 — in Brownsville, Texas, one year almost to the day after he proposed to Suarez on October 10, 2025.
The &#8220;Breaking Bad&#8221; actor, 34, was an outspoken advocate for actors with disabilities. He lived with cerebral palsy — and the character he played on the hit television show, Walter White Jr., also had cerebral palsy — and used his platform to bring awareness and support to others in the film industry who were living with disabilities.
&#8220;It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of beloved actor, philanthropist, and passionate disability rights advocate RJ Mitte,” a representative for Mitte said in a statement shared with <a href="https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/rj-mitte-dead-breaking-bad-1236909451/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a> on Monday. “Drawing from his own experience living with cerebral palsy, Mitte brought authenticity to the role and built a platform on disability awareness and inclusion.&#8221;
“I’m in deep despair as I write this tonight. RJ Mitte, my sweet son on ‘Breaking Bad’ has died. I met him when he was only 14 years old when he was cast as Walter White Jr., a part he played with such joy and enthusiasm,” co-star Bryan Cranston wrote in a tribute to his on-screen son. &#8220;Born with Cerebral Palsy, he never – ever – allowed that challenge to be an excuse for anything. He met the demanding shooting schedule head on with great determination.&#8221;

Florida Democrat Senate candidate Angela Nixon pushed back on claims that she supported abolishing prisons, arguing that she couldn&#8217;t possibly support abolishing prisons because she wants her opponent, Sen. Ashley Moody (R-FL), thrown behind bars.
Nixon laid out her case during a recent appearance on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;The Arena with Kasie Hunt&#8221; and fellow guest Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), complaining that Republicans had been using attack ads to spread &#8220;lies&#8221; about her.
&#8220;They are spreading, like, a lot of disinformation and lies on commercials about me, of saying things like, I want to abolish prisons and I want to defund the police,&#8221; Nixon claimed, as Murphy sat beside her with a straight face. &#8220;Why would I want to do that when I want her [Moody] locked up and punished in jail for what she has done?&#8221;
Nixon claimed that Moody, the former Florida attorney general, had been implicated in the Florida Hope Scandal and should be thrown in jail for her part in it. In January of 2026, a secret grand jury found that Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis&#8217; administration had misappropriated $10 million from a $67 million Medicaid fraud settlement from two years prior. Although Moody and current Attorney General James Uthmeier (R-FL) were named in the grand jury&#8217;s findings — that the money in question had been diverted for political purposes — no indictments were ever issued because individual culpability could not be determined.
Complicating Nixon&#8217;s claim, of course, is her status as a card-carrying member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The DSA has long advocated for reimagining policing from the top down, eventually abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), police, and prisons entirely. And adding insult to irony is the fact that she&#8217;s running for a seat in the U.S. Senate — which the DSA has also targeted for elimination.
Nixon&#8217;s own <a href="https://angienixon.com/priorities/">website,</a> under priorities, states that she supports &#8220;ending for-profit prisons and detention centers,&#8221; &#8220;ending mass incarceration,&#8221; and &#8220;demilitarizing policing investing in community-based public safety, violence prevention and crisis response.&#8221;

Lefty network MS Now incorrectly reported Wednesday that FBI Director Kash Patel had landed in Russia — while the FBI said he was at Liberty University in Virginia.
Reporter Ken Dilanian later corrected the report and expressed regret.
&#8220;We&#8217;ve since learned that Patel did not, in fact, land in Russia today and remains in the U.S.,&#8221; he said. &#8220;The timing of any potential trip remains unclear. Again, we regret this error and we are transparent about when we make errors.&#8221;
The FBI&#8217;s Rapid Response team shared an X post that placed the MS Now clip side by side with a video of Patel speaking to a group of law students at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. Patel was there with Rep. John McGuire (R-VA) for a roundtable discussion with law students and local law enforcement.
&#8220;Left: MS Now reports two sources familiar say Kash Patel just landed in Russia. Right: Here’s where Kash Patel actually is … Liberty U, doing a law enforcement appreciation event MS Now’s &#8216;sources&#8217; are &#8216;familiar&#8217; with NOTHING!&#8221; the caption read.

&#8220;Facts over clickbait,&#8221; Patel replied to that post.
McGuire posted photos from the event, adding, &#8220;Today, I was proud to welcome @FBIDirectorKash to Lynchburg for a roundtable discussion I hosted with local law enforcement and students from Liberty University School of Law.&#8221;
&#8220;Director Patel and I are committed to protecting victims, not criminals,&#8221; McGuire continued. &#8220;We want the next generation to understand that our laws are meant to be enforced.&#8221;

Patel fired back as well, saying that MS Now owed the men and women of the FBI — and the rest of the American people — an apology.
&#8220;MS NOW just reported I had &#8216;landed in Russia&#8217; for meetings with the FSB. The same outlet constantly tells lies about this FBI and law enforcement’s historic achievements in safeguarding the American people,&#8221; Patel said.
He cited arrest figures, captures of wanted fugitives, and fentanyl seizures as evidence of the bureau&#8217;s work under his leadership.
&#8220;This is no accident. It is due to the relentless work of this FBI and all of our state, local, and tribal partners,&#8221; he continued, saying that MS Now owed &#8220;an apology to this FBI, the men and women of law enforcement, and to the American people.&#8221;
MS Now first aired the report earlier Wednesday, with anchor Peter Alexander citing &#8220;two people familiar with the matter.&#8221; Dilanian, who sourced the story, added: &#8220;We don’t know what Kash Patel is doing in Russia. And that’s one of the things that’s concerning our FBI sources — they don’t know either.&#8221;
Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/20/kash-patel-fbi-russia-trip-01005078">reported</a> in July that Patel was expected to visit Moscow and St. Petersburg on October 14-15.
