Iran publishes propaganda letter urging US voters to punish Trump in midterm elections
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps put out a 25-page letter addressed to Americans urging them to oppose President Donald Trump during the upcoming midterm elections.
The IRGC, which has repeatedly tried to sway the Nov. 3 US elections, claimed that the president and his support of Israel were the cause of the war — as they urged voters to reject both in the voting booth.
“America’s national security and the lives of its service members are entrusted to someone who is not only an inveterate liar but is also an insanely avaricious man whose only motivation in life is the accumulation of greater wealth,” IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebbi said in the regime’s latest attack on Trump.

SCOTUS Overturns Blockade On Trump’s Third-Country Deportations
The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday once again shut down a lower court blockade against a key component of President Trump’s deportation agenda. The vote was 6-3, with Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson in dissent.
In its unsigned order, the high court granted the Trump administration’s request to pause a ruling issued by Massachusetts-based District Judge Brian Murphy. The Biden appointee’s directive sought to block the government’s deportation of illegal aliens to third countries –countries not of their national origin.
The ruling is the third instance in which the administration asked the Supreme Court for relief in the case. The first occurred last year, when the high court stayed (6-3) Murphy’s preliminary injunction blocking third-country deportations.

5 Weeks To Go: Everything You Need To Know About Where The Midterms Stand by Jacob Wheeler
“It’s pretty dire circumstances in both those states.”
There are 34 days to go until the 2026 midterm elections. Prognosticators are predicting a blue wave, but Republicans are using their massive cash advantage to try and stem the tide. With nearly a dozen close Senate races, a razor-thin House margin, and most of America’s governor’s mansions at stake, here are the latest polls, storylines, and campaign trail notables you need to know about.
Democrats hold a strong advantage on the generic ballot and lead in key Senate battlegrounds nationwide. President Trump is hoping to defy political history, but the lingering conflict with Iran and high gas prices are souring voters on the GOP across the country, including traditionally red-leaning states.
Republicans hold a 53-47 advantage in the U.S. Senate and are defending vulnerable seats in North Carolina, Maine, Ohio, Texas, Iowa, Alaska, and struggling to gain the edge in seats held by Democrats. In Maine, Republican Sen. Susan Collins, who has long defied the odds and the polling, trails Democrat Troy Jackson by less than a point on average, while a New York Times/Siena poll released last week showed Collins up three points.

AI DAY AT THE WHITE HOUSE
It was AI Day in Washington on Tuesday, with the Trump administration hosting an all-day conference and the launch of a new AI landing page. Donald Trump lunched with executives before signing an executive order directing the government to start calling AI “super intelligence” instead. Between red tape updates, rebranding, and wrangling corporations, the president hopes to turn the tide of public opinion.
“A lot of commonality in this room, and all for the good,” Trump told reporters after his two-hour lunch with 20 top tech executives. “There was an unbelievable feeling in this room, sort of a feeling of love for our country.”
The White House went all in on its AI push on Tuesday, between the lunch, the launch, and the path forward Trump prefers. He’s resisting cratering public opinion not only on his job performance but also on artificial intelligence as a threat to humanity. Between improved government services and a new accord between AI executives, Trump hopes voters will no longer make this a midterm election issue.

Parents Who Treat Boys as Boys and Girls as Girls Are Not Abusers, New Bill Declares
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., introduced a bill Tuesday aiming to prevent child welfare agencies from treating a parent’s refusal to “affirm” a child’s stated transgender identity as child abuse.
“The Left’s radical gender ideology is harming children with irreversible treatments and procedures, but in blue states, parents are being punished, and sometimes even separated from their children, for protecting their kids from this permanent damage,” Schmitt told the Daily Signal in a statement on the bill Tuesday.
“It is sickening that a state would impose ideological child-welfare policies to tear apart a family,” he added. “Parents know what’s best for their own families, and we need to defend their rights to protect their children.”
The Yaeli Martinez Child Protection Act takes its name from Yaeli Martinez, a 19-year-old girl who took her own life three years after the Los Angeles County Department of Child and Family Services took custody away from her mother, Abby. Her mother refused to “affirm” Yaeli’s transgender identity as male. The department had said that keeping Yaeli out of her mother’s home would decrease her chances of committing suicide.

‘This Is Only the Beginning’: Pope Leo’s Visit Electrifies France by Solène Tadié
Huge crowds, unexpected displays of spiritual curiosity and a newfound willingness among Catholics to publicly profess their faith made the Holy Father’s visit a showcase for France’s burgeoning Catholic revival.
“I have to ask: Who, aside from the Pope, is capable of bringing together 600,000 people in France in 2026? Who else but him is able to foster a sense of national unity in our country?”
These words from renowned French journalist Stéphane Bern, a leading figure in the defense of France’s cultural heritage, were expressed in an interview with French media just days before Pope Leo XIV’s Sept. 25-28 visit to France.
At the time, Bern’s remarks may have raised more than a few eyebrows in newsrooms accustomed to the broad consensus surrounding the country’s sacrosanct principle of laïcité.
And yet, more than 800,000 people packed the Place de la Concorde and the Champs-Élysées for the Pope’s Mass on Sept. 26 — including some 200,000 who decided to try their luck at the last minute despite tickets having already run out. Meanwhile, young people had snatched up all 80,000 tickets ahead of the Sept. 25 vigil, presided over by Pope Leo, at the Stade de France.

Today is the Feast of St. Jerome (c. 347–420)
In his famous letter to Pope Damasus I (Letter 15), Jerome expressed his strict loyalty to the Bishop of Rome to ensure he remained rooted in orthodoxy, writing: ‘I follow no leader but Christ and join in communion with none but your blessedness, that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that this is the rock on which the Church has been built.‘
