It’s Thursday, October 29. Five days until the midterms. It’s happening, folks.

Before we dive in, I want to announce something absolutely huge.

WE DID IT!!! You made HISTORY!!! We got word yesterday that our book WTF America?!: The Way Out of This Hell and Back to Democracy is officially a New York Times Best Seller! WTF America?! debuted at number two on the charts, ahead of MAGA favorites like Newt Gingrich and Fox host Brian Kilmeade. Fox was pushing the heck out of those books, but this community defeated the Fox machine. They had Fox. But we had YOU.

Now let’s keep WTF America?! on the Best Seller list and get this message to as many people as possible. Every copy matters. Get yours today if you haven’t yet and let’s show them what this movement can do! You can also buy copies to donate to your local library or give as gifts. THANK YOU!!!

The graphic features the book’s black-and-gold cover on the left and a New York Times bestseller chart on the right, with WTF America?! highlighted in gold at #2, ahead of books by Newt Gingrich, Andy Cohen, and Brian Kilmeade. Below the chart, a large gold “#2” is framed by laurel wreaths above the words “New York Times Bestseller.” The design uses a sleek black, white, and gold color scheme to celebrate the MeidasTouch founders’ bestselling achievement.

Now to today’s headlines:

  • New CNN polls show Democrats leading Senate races in Texas, Michigan, Kansas, and Maine

  • Trump had a meltdown on the tarmac where he engaged in Brazil election denial, impeachment threats, and was confused about a general he just fired

  • Trump’s tiny Ohio gym rally vs. Obama’s packed arena in Georgia

  • JD Vance’s secret letter to Iran (and a fireworks injury?)

  • Pentagon investigating suspected cyberattacks on military base freezers

  • Republicans openly admitting they are losing the turnout fight

  • Katie Phang’s latest court win on the Epstein files

AND MORE!

The Polls That Ruined Trump’s Morning

If these polls are to be believed, they are truly earth shattering.
