Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has expressed concerns over the Trump campaign’s decision not to engage in presidential transition agreements with the federal government ahead of the 2024 election.
In a letter addressed to former President Donald Trump and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Raskin criticized the campaign’s refusal to commit to the transition process, which he says could have negative implications for the peaceful transfer of power.
Raskin, who serves as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, warned in his letter that rejecting these agreements breaks with precedent.
He wrote, “Breaking the precedent set by every other presidential candidate since 2010, you have rejected these resources and refused to commit to a smooth transition.” He further accused Trump of demonstrating “a spectacular disregard for the successful continuation of the essential institutions of American democratic government.”
Raskin’s letter raises questions about the potential impact on the transition of power, should Trump win the 2024 election. Transition agreements, established by the Presidential Transition Act, are intended to ensure the incoming administration is prepared to take over key responsibilities.
Some observers have noted that Raskin’s letter might reflect growing concerns within the Democratic Party about the prospects of a Trump victory.
While Raskin raises alarms, it’s clear that the Trump-Vance team is prioritizing their campaign strategy over administrative logistics at this point.
Vice President Kamala Harris‘s disastrous CNN town hall has created many viral moments, but perhaps her assertion that her administration did “the right thing” by allowing millions of illegal aliens to pour into the country is the most shocking.
Harris was tapped by Biden to tackle the border problems, and now she says having an open border is good.
CNN host Anderson Cooper highlighted numerous border initiatives Harris failed to secure, including an immigration bill that fell flat during the tenure of the Democrat-controlled House and Senate.
The administration also failed to implement an executive order that would have alleviated the crisis on the southern border.
“Why didn’t your administration do that in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked.
“First of all, you’re exactly right, Anderson, and as of today, we have cut the flow of immigration by over half,” Harris responded.
“But if it was that easy with that executive action, why not do it 2022, 2023?? Cooper pressed.
“Because we were working with Congress and hoping that actually, we could have a long-term fix to the problem, instead of a short-term fix,” Harris claimed.
Cooper pressed again, asking, You couldn’t have done both at the same time?”
Harris responded by cshifting the blame on Congress for the administration’s border crisis.
“Do you wish you’d done those executive orders in 2022, 2023?” Cooper asked.
Harris responded: “I think we did the right thing.”
Incredible.

Bravehart (and much more) actor Mel Gibson declared his intention to vote for former president Donald Trump by comparing Kamala Harris’ IQ to that of a plank of wood.
Gibson was interviewed by TMZ as he walked through Los Angeles International Airport on Thursday, Oct. 24. He was asked on his thoughts ahead of the election describing it as “a big question”.
“I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone who I’ll vote for,” he added.
When asked on what a second Trump term would look like, Gibson shifted his attention to a possible Harris presidency.
“I know what it’ll be like if we let her in and that ain’t good,” said Gibson. “Miserable track record – appalling track record. No policies to speak of. And she’s got the IQ of a fence post.”
NEW: Actor Mel Gibson says Kamala Harris has the IQ of a "fence post" in footage obtained by @TMZ.
Gibson specifically called out Harris for her "appalling" track record.
Question: Who are you voting for? I'm gonna guess. Trump.
Former President Donald Trump sounded the alarm about the reason behind why Vice President Kamala Harris is taking days off and not properly campaigning.
Trump made the cryptic remarks about Kamala’s lax campaigning during his rally in Georgia.
“This is a woman who took yesterday off, how do you take yesterday off?” asked Trump.
“You’ve got 13 days, you’re running for the presidency, she takes time off,” he added.
“I’ve got 52 days in a row and I’m not taking any days off, that I can tell you,” said Trump.
“I hear she’s taking another one tomorrow or something – it’s the craziest thing I’ve ever seen – maybe she knows something that we don’t know, that’s bad, right?” Trump asked.
“Maybe she knows something we don’t know – does everybody understand that, maybe, maybe,” he concluded.
Watch below:
What is Trump hinting at? When he says: Kamala isn’t campaigning because she knows something that the public doesn’t?
A new Congressional report shows the Biden-Harris administration spent almost $1 billion manipulating public opinion on COVID vaccines, at times relying on wrong or speculative information. A House Energy and Commerce report released Wednesday night details how the National Institutes of Health seeded “erroneous or unproven information” into COVID-era messaging and advertisements.
“While the Biden-Harris administration’s public health guidance led to prolonged closures of schools and businesses, the NIH was spending nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money trying to manipulate Americans with advertisements—sometimes containing erroneous or unproven information,” the report said.
“By overpromising what the COVID-19 vaccines could do—in direct contradiction of the FDA’s authorizations—and over emphasizing the virus’s risk to children and young adults, the Biden-Harris administration caused Americans to lose trust in the public health system,” Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-WA, said.
Republicans are celebrating promising turnout figures, suggesting that former President Donald Trump is shifting the electoral map beyond the usual swing states.
Traditionally, these states include Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina. However, a new contender has emerged: Nevada, a state that hasn’t voted Republican in two decades.
🚨 BREAKING: Nevada experiences a dramatic +25 point swing towards Republicans on the first day of Early Voting! 🇺🇸 #ElectionUpdate
In Clark County, NV, a whopping 22,000 in-person voters cast their ballots on day one of early voting.
Recent reports indicate that Trump has established a 5-point lead over Vice President Kamala Harris. If these trends continue, Trump could become the first Republican presidential candidate to win Nevada since George W. Bush in 2004, as reported by Trending Politics News.
🚨BREAKING NEVADA🚨
Republican turnout has surpassed Democrat turnout in Nevada for the 1st time since Early Vote started. This includes mail.
Newly released early voting data shows that Republicans hold a 2.5% advantage in turnout—a notable achievement given the party’s historical hesitance towards voting methods perceived as prone to fraud.
Over 333,000 ballots have been cast, representing 16.6% of the state’s electorate. While Republicans are making headway, the urban Las Vegas area shows a narrower margin, with Democrats maintaining a slight 1-point lead in exit polls.
Doug Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, finds himself in the spotlight again, as a former flame speaks out about a troubling incident that took place in 2012.
That’s now four corroborating witnesses, including the abused woman herself, and the press still won’t touch this. https://t.co/uwMq52mhY1
The anonymous woman, identified only as “Jane,” claims that Emhoff slapped her so hard during a celebrity event in France that she spun around in shock. Despite Emhoff’s denial of the accusations, “Jane” is not staying silent any longer.
Watching him play this role in the media, she says, has been “utterly shocking” given what she experienced. Jane shared her story with the Daily Mail, recounting how the slap came out of nowhere, with no argument or confrontation beforehand.
NEW: Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff accused of physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, days after MSNBC host Jen Psaki said Emhoff was “reshaping masculinity.”
According to the Daily Mail, Emhoff hit a woman so hard that she physically spun around.
The incident happened as they were trying to hail a taxi late at night after an event. Jane says she retaliated, slapping him back, but the damage was already done, both physically and emotionally.
This isn’t the only allegation casting a shadow over Emhoff. Earlier reports surfaced of an affair he had with his daughter’s nanny while still married to his first wife.
According to Jane, Emhoff openly admitted the affair and its messy aftermath during their brief relationship, even revealing that his mistress accused him of causing her to miscarry their child.
Jane mentioned that Emhoff told her he reached a settlement with Naylor for around $80,000 and had her sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Records from the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), obtained by DailyMail.com through the California Public Records Act, confirm that officers were dispatched to Naylor’s residence on June 28, 2009, at 8:14 p.m., around the time she was allegedly pregnant.
Early voting figures for Miami-Dade County reveal the GOP is leading in the presidential election by almost 12,000 votes.
Donald Trump has just surpassed 36,000 votes in the county, compared to 24,228 for Kamala Harris. Interestingly, third-party candidates have received 15,954 ballots among early voters – more than the difference between the Republican and the Democrat. Overall, the figure marks a 15.2% swing for the GOP.
You may be wondering why this is significant. After all, Miami-Dade is located within Florida, which has become something of a guaranteed state for the Republicans under Trump. It also helps that it’s also Trump’s home state, and is governed by the popular Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
But here’s the thing; Miami-Dade has a predominantly Latino population, and it heavily leans Democratic – In fact, it has voted Democrat in every election since 1992.
The Hispanic vote is crucial for both candidates, but losing it hurts more for Harris given the historic preference for Democrats among the Latino electorate. If similar swings are seen among Latino voters in swing states with large Spanish-speaking populations such as Arizona and Nevada, Harris is almost certain to lose the election.
Republicans, therefore, are getting giddy.
Of course, it’s worth remembering that every vote matters in an extremely tight election.
We’ve been told that “gender affirming care” is lifesaving. We’ve been told it’s “medically necessary.” We’ve been emotionally blackmailed into accepting that loving parents should consent to the chemical and surgical mutilation of their children, lest those same children kill themselves (this is an abuse tactic commonly used by those with borderline personality disorder).
But how many people know exactly what “gender-affirming care” actually means? It sounds nice, doesn’t it? Safe. Warm. Compassionate. But is it?
“Gender-affirming care” is, in fact:
Lying to a child and telling that child that he or she can become the other sex
Validating this delusion in a child, and concretizing their mental distress into permanent illness
Blocking natural puberty with the same drugs used to chemically castrate rapists
Amputating breasts, removing testicles and penises, and much more
Would the millions of adult Americans who tell pollsters that they “support” “gender-affirming care” for children maintain that position if they really knew exactly what it was? It’s impossible to know. But what’s worse is the fact that the mainstream, establishment media has been actively covering up the truth, and actively campaigning for this child abuse to continue.
It is impossible for any sane, skeptical people, including pediatricians, to get a hearing in the legacy media without being called “transphobes” who want children so distressed that they kill themselves. If that sounds insane to you, reader, that’s because it is insane. Remember, we now live in a country where it is considered a prestige opinion that there are children “born in the wrong body” who “need” sex-mutilating medical treatments.
That may be starting to change, just a smidge. Surprisingly, one of the worst purveyors of transgender nonsense, The New York Times, has published a story about the reluctance of gender medicine researchers to tell the truth. Doctor Johanna Olson-Kennedy, a big advocate for child sex changes, told the Times that she has not published her own study on the effects of puberty blockers on the mental health of children who take them.
“I do not want our work to be weaponized,” Olson-Kennedy told the publication.
The nearly $10 million study followed the development of 95 children from across the country to see if their mental health improved following treatment with puberty blockers.
Olson-Kennedy said that treatment with puberty blockers did not lead to mental health improvements. The unpublished findings contradict preliminary research released by Olson-Kennedy and colleagues in 2022, which found approximately a quarter of adolescents were depressed or suicidal before starting either puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones.
It also contradicts the seminal Dutch study that has become the foundation for most gender clinics worldwide, which concluded that puberty blockers significantly improve the mental well-being of children with gender dysphoria.
In plain, honest terms, she decided not to tell the world that she found that puberty blockers did not improve “trans” children’s mental health because she’s politically committed to gender medicine, the harm to children be damned. She explicitly told the paper that she worries her findings would help more states ban “gender affirming care” for children. It appears that she wants children mutilated, and she wants no legal barriers that would save them.
Tim Walz criticized Tesla CEO Elon Musk for “jumping around like a dipshit” with President Trump on the campaign trail despite the fact this is something the Minnesota Governor does on a regular basis.
During one of Walz’s bizarre segments at a rally in Madison, Wisconsin, he said, “Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dipshit.”
“That guy is literally the richest man in the world, spending millions of dollars to help Donald Trump buy an election,” the Minnesota governor told the crowd.
That’s right. The person who jumps and skips around like an unhinged weirdo is angry at Elon Musk for jumping once at a rally. Walz is apparently unaware that the reason Musk was jumping around was specifically to mock him!
Nothing more than pure projection.
POT, MEET KETTLE: Tampon Tim Walz — known as the "Dancing Queen" for his bizarre, wild gesticulations in public — is now smearing @elonmusk for "skipping like a dipshit" at President Trump's rally.
