Michigan Democrat Sen. Elissa Slotkin was recorded in an undercover video laying out a concrete plan for what Democrats intend to do if they regain a congressional majority in the midterms, describing preselected “signature cases” of alleged corruption that they would pursue in every committee starting in January.

The clip, obtained by Townhall and posted Friday on the outlet’s X account, was filmed Thursday at a Michigan campaign event where Slotkin was appearing in support of congressional candidate Sean McCann.

During the exchange, an undercover reporter expressed concern that Democrats might be “too nice” and pressed Slotkin on prosecutions against the Trump administration and its allies.

Slotkin responded that she was “with you” and outlined the plan.

“We have a list of, like, the ‘signature cases.’ So the things where it’s, like, so egregious, such a violation of law, such a corruption case… and we will have, in every committee, there will be the ‘signature cases’ where we hold people accountable.”

Slotkin added that these would be the matters “that people identify with.”

The senator specifically named the White House ballroom project in the East Wing, the reflecting pool renovation on the National Mall, and “$200 million in, you know, from the Defense Department” as examples.

“So that’s what you’ll see basically in January.”

“I just went to Hungary. I went over to Budapest because they just got rid of their authoritarian leader after 16 years. And I’m like, how did you handle 16 years of corruption? We don’t have that much, but we have so much.”

During the same conversation, Slotkin also referenced a recent trip to Budapest.

“I just went to Hungary. I went over to Budapest because they just got rid of their authoritarian leader after 16 years. And I’m like, how did you handle 16 years of corruption? We don’t have that much, but we have so much.”

The remarks align with public comments that she has made in recent weeks.

In a September speech at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, she discussed lessons from Hungary’s political shift away from Viktor Orbán and described Trump as on track to be “the most successful corrupt leader in the world’s history,” citing family wealth gains and projects such as a golden ballroom.

Slotkin, a former CIA officer and first-term senator, has repeatedly framed administration projects and spending as “corruption.”

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

Earlier this year, she joined other Democrat lawmakers in a video reminding service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders. The Trump Justice Department later opened an inquiry into the matter, but it did not result in charges.

The Ninth Circuit on October 30 refused to lift a preliminary injunction that sharply restricts the Trump administration’s investigations into potential noncitizen voting in nine states, leaving the block in place through Election Day.

A majority of nonrecused active judges declined en banc rehearing of the panel’s order denying a stay.

Seven judges, led by Judge Eric Tung and joined by Judges Consuelo Callahan, Ryan Nelson, Daniel Collins, Daniel Bress, Patrick Bumatay, and Lawrence VanDyke, dissented forcefully.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín (Northern District of California) issued the sweeping preliminary injunction on October 21 in California Nurses Association et al. v. Mullin et al.

The order bars DHS, ICE, USCIS, HSI, and related officials from conducting elections-related field operations and field interviews in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin when those operations “involve or are likely to involve” persons the government “know[s], suspect[s], or should reasonably know or suspect are U.S. citizens.”

It also restricts operations based wholly on certain TECS records generated under the administration’s Voter Eligibility Matching Policy. The injunction runs through November 3, 2026 (Election Day).

The plaintiffs, primarily the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United, along with San Francisco, Santa Clara County, and Voto Latino, claimed the investigations intimidated voters and those assisting them in violation of Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act.

The district court found associational standing for the nurses’ groups based on member declarations about fear of being wrongly targeted, and it treated investigation of suspected illegal voting as the functional equivalent of prohibited intimidation. Standing was rejected for the other plaintiffs at this stage.

Judge Tung’s dissent, filed with the en banc denial order, pulls no punches. “By enjoining the government from even investigating illegal voting, the district court departed from its limited role, and trampled on the President’s in the process,” he wrote.

“And by relying on section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act … it confused investigation for intimidation.”

He emphasized that federal law already prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections (18 U.S.C. § 611), with criminal and immigration consequences, and that Article II gives the President “exclusive authority and absolute discretion” to decide which crimes to investigate and prosecute.

“The district court here installed itself as a super-executive responsible for deciding when investigations are really in the public interest,” Tung added. “Federal courts do not exercise general legal oversight of the … Executive Branch[].”

The dissent further argued that the plaintiffs lack standing under Supreme Court precedents such as Clapper v. Amnesty International (speculative future injury and self-inflicted harm do not suffice), that Section 11(b) creates no private right of action (enforcement belongs to the Attorney General), and that the statute does not apply to the United States itself under longstanding interpretive presumptions. Even if it did, lawful investigations of suspected unlawful voting are not “intimidation … for voting.”

The injunction, the dissenters said, is both vague and dramatically overbroad under Rule 65, effectively hamstringing most election-related field work in the targeted states and raising a reverse “reasonable suspicion” barrier that makes lawful probes nearly impossible without risk of contempt.

The underlying effort traces to President Trump’s March 2025 Executive Order 14248 directing prioritization of enforcement against illegal voting, followed by DHS’s Unlawful Voter Initiative and August 2026 Surge Initiative Guidance focused on the nine states.

USCIS compares voter data against immigration and other records, conducts manual review to exclude citizens, and refers potential cases to HSI for further assessment and possible field interviews, steps the dissent describes as layered and independent, not a dragnet.

The three-judge panel that initially refused to suspend the injunction consisted of Judges Sidney Thomas, Kim McLane Wardlaw, and Anthony Johnstone.

The panel concluded that the Trump administration had not established the irreparable harm necessary to justify an emergency stay.

The judges cited evidence that the federal initiative relied on potentially inaccurate citizenship data and that some American citizens had stopped participating in election-related activities because they feared being wrongly targeted by federal investigators.

According to the panel, DHS’s investigation included rapidly reviewing potentially inaccurate voter records, conducting field interviews, and publicizing enforcement activity.

The panel also determined that the government had not demonstrated that the injunction would make all lawful voter fraud investigations impossible.

The seven dissenting judges disputed that assessment, arguing that the government suffers an irreparable injury when a court improperly restricts its enforcement of federal law.

The dispute is particularly significant because the injunction is scheduled to expire when polling closes on November 3, leaving only a narrow window for further emergency judicial intervention.

The post Ninth Circuit REFUSES to Lift Restrictions on Trump’s Voter Fraud Investigations in NINE STATES Ahead of Midterms — SEVEN Judges Issue Blistering Dissent, Accuse Court of “Trampling” Presidential Authority appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris urged Democrats to prioritize investigations and accountability rather than another impeachment of President Donald Trump if they win the House and Senate, responding to Aaron Parnas during an October 27 interview ahead of the November 3 midterm elections. Harris said “the energy and the resources need to be put into accountability, need to be put into investigations,” while arguing that the Senate votes needed to convict Trump were not available.

Harris advocated toughness rather than leniency, saying, “When I say we should be ruthless, I don’t mean cruel, but we should be uncompromising,” after describing Republicans as both ruthless and cruel. She urged Democrats to stop being “genteel” about political relationships and deliver results, including reversing Medicaid cuts and restoring checks on the administration’s handling of the war, emphasizing that there was no time to wait.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton similarly predicted during the October 28 episode of High Stakes with Kara Swisher that a Democrat Congress would investigate “him, his administration, his family, his supporters and allies.” Clinton advocated legislation, lawsuits and public pressure to restrain Trump, citing outrage over a proposed streamed execution as an example of pressure that she said had prompted officials to back down.

She predicted that Republican losses would lead Trump to blame others, demand greater party loyalty and become more dangerous, including potentially launching additional attacks on Iran that she warned could endanger American military personnel and civilians. Describing Trump as a lame duck, Clinton argued that he had held Republicans hostage politically for a decade, predicted that resistance within his party could grow, and said Democrats would ultimately have to demonstrate effective governance on affordability and corruption.

“So buckle up,” Clinton said, adding that the election was only the beginning and that Democrats first needed to win before they could restrain Trump and hold him accountable. In an earlier conversation with Swisher, Clinton also opposed impeaching Trump as a “sideshow” unlikely to produce a conviction, while supporting impeachment investigations into officials such as Pete Hegseth, whom she accused of politicizing the military.

Here’s the latest on the coup-d-etat by leftist President Donald Tusk in Poland.

Hero Polish President Karol Nawrocki turned the presidential plane around over Spain and flew back to Poland during the crisis. He fought through lines of police outside the Constitutional Tribunal and went INSIDE the country’s highest constitutional court to restore order!

JUST IN: Polish President Karol Nawrocki just went INSIDE the country’s highest constitutional court and told the pro-EU tyrants to SHOVE IT, they are NOT the legitimate judges and their takeover is DONE

“You are not judges of the Constitutional Tribunal!”

This is the elected President of Poland personally standing up to an attempted takeover of the country’s top constitutional court.

INCREDIBLE!!

Donald Tusk’s camp tried to declare the Tribunal’s leadership “suspended” and sent police to the building. Nawrocki flew home and walked right inside, and he is not backing down.

Go get ’em, Mr. President! https://t.co/uX64Zm1Aca

A political and constitutional crisis unfolded at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal (Trybunał Konstytucyjny) in Warsaw on Friday evening. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska (aligned with the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk) announced the suspension of the tribunal’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, and his deputy, and claimed interim control. The existing leadership and the right-wing opposition (including Law and Justice/PiS) rejected this, calling it a “coup d’état.”

According to reports, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska did not have the legal authority to do this.

Critics (including lawyers quoted in Polish media such as Rzeczpospolita) argued this lacks a clear legal basis: the proper procedure for suspending the TK president is reserved to the General Assembly of TK judges, a single judge cannot unilaterally do so, and the ordinary-courts provision does not cleanly transfer to the Constitutional Tribunal.

That’s why the event was labeled a coup by the Polish people.

On Friday night, Polish people sang “Rota,” a historic Polish patriotic anthem, outside the Constitutional Tribunal.

The people are rising up against the globalist President Donald Tusk.

BREAKING FROM POLAND! Right now, Poles are singing “Rota,” a historic Polish patriotic anthem, outside the Constitutional Tribunal. Their voices rise into the cold night: “So help us God!”!
The message to Tusk is unmistakable: Never underestimate the Polish spirit of freedom. It runs deep in our nation’s DNA.

A HUGE message from Poland to the entire world:

MP @paweljablonski_ (@RozwojPlus) has a message for the entire world, which is currently following the dramatic events surrounding a coup d’état in Poland:

“Dear friends, watch our country. We have great tradition, we are faithful to our families, to our values, to our faith, but there are people that want to take it away from us – there is a government, that is planning to illegally take over the Constitutional Court.

We are defending freedom. What is happening in Poland tonight, may soon be happening also in other countries – this left-wing liberal globalists, they want to do it the same in France in Italy, in USA, in the UK in Germany – all across the world, so please, remain with us, stay with us.

We will prevail.”

Excellent synopsis by Matt Van Swol.

“Imagine if Democrats won Congress, declared the Supreme Court didn’t count anymore, ignored its rulings for 3 years, and then, a year before the next election, picked 8 new justices of their own, including a man their leader called his “right-hand man,” and when the Republican president refused to swear them in, they swore themselves in and mailed him the paperwork, and when the Chief Justice said that wasn’t legal and wouldn’t seat them, they waited for a Friday night when the president was on a plane to Africa and had federal security officers who answer to a Democratic cabinet member walk 7 of them into the court through a back gate connected to the Democratic leader’s own offices, where one of them announced she had “suspended” the Chief Justice, a move that even a law professor who openly can’t stand him said had no legal basis, and then riot police blocked the Chief Justice from entering his own court, the court’s website was taken over, the Attorney General moved that same night to strip his immunity so he could be prosecuted, the president had to turn his plane around mid-flight to come home, and the same people who spent years lecturing everyone about respecting the courts went online to say this was the rule of law, that it was painful, and that there was “no other way,” which is roughly where Poland is tonight.”

For those confused as to what’s happening in Poland right now…

Much has already been said about Abdul El-Sayed’s black voter problem in Michigan. It is certainly real.

It first became apparent during the Democrat Senate primary but it has continued to dog El-Sayed in the months that followed.

For whatever reasons, the black community is just not down with the idea of voting for El-Sayed, and it’s definitely hurting his campaign.

On the flip side, many of these voters seem to genuinely like Republican Mike Rogers.

Here is another example.

Via Overton News:

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign message is NOT resonating with black voters in Detroit.

El-Sayed is banking on that voting block in Michigan, but from what these voters are saying on the ground, that’s far from guaranteed.

One voter even admitted he’s a lifelong Democrat who’s crossing party lines to vote for Republican Mike Rogers.

VOTER: “It’s a first time thing because I’ve been Democrat forever. So yeah, I’m switching Republican now.”

Keep in mind, black voters in Detroit REJECTED El-Sayed during the Democrat primary — he received just 31% of the vote against Haley Stevens.

He lost Detroit outright to Stevens by 28 points.

If Rogers can secure even a portion of that vote, it could spell MAJOR trouble for El-Sayed next week.

This is exactly why the Democrats sent Obama to Michigan. Not that it helped much.

Obama heads to Michigan Saturday to rally with Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed in a key battleground race.
