If liberals retain control of the court, the current GOP-drawn congressional map could be thrown out, and with it, two Republican U.S. House seats.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries indicating Democrats are planning a challenge.
In Wisconsin, that's a 50-50 race because we know Wisconsin's a 50-50 state. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why is that important? Because There are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. As soon as possible, we need to be able to revisit that.
The only way for that to be even a significant possibility is if you have an enlightened Supreme Court. And so, you know, I think that's an incredibly important race.

the very important election for Judge Simmel. Most people don't even know that there's an election at all. They think it's, well, it's just, you know, some kind of judicial thing that's not that important. But actually, what's happening on Tuesday is a vote for which party controls the U.S. House of Representatives. That is why it is so significant.
And whichever party controls the House, to a significant degree, controls the country, which then steers the course of Western civilization. Currently, the Dems are 100,000 votes ahead. But actually, if the people that voted for President Trump simply vote on Tuesday, we will win. That's actually all it takes. Just vote. Boom. Done. Victory.

Much of Mr. Musk's town hall focusing on national issues, billionaire venture capitalist and Doge team member Antonio Gracias joining in to lay out what he says is a process used by the Biden administration to grant social security numbers to illegal aliens.
Is when you come in the country, if you're an illegal, There's a couple ways to come in. You come in through a port of entry, and you can tell them you're afraid. They'll give you an asylum case. You'll get an interview. Then you get in. That's one way to do it. Another way to do it, you walk up to a border patrol officer, and you tell them you want to come in.
They were told to do that, make an administrative offense on a last administration, and they give you an NTA, a notice to appear, which is to appear at a judge. Once you're in the country and you've got asylum, you can apply for a work document. And then Social Security Administration automatically sends you in the mail your social security number. No interview. No ID.
It was a massive, large-scale program to import as many illegals as possible, ultimately to change the entire voting map of the United States.

Chapter 6: How is Marine Le Pen's legal situation compared to Donald Trump's?
Le Pen sentenced to four years in prison, only two of which have to be served under house arrest and a 100,000 euro fine. Ms. Le Pen's party, National Rally, ordered to pay 2 million euros. The court finding that between 2004 and 2016, while serving in the European Parliament, Ms. Le Pen and her party allegedly misused approximately 4.4 million euros in EU funds.
As a member of European Parliament, Ms. Le Pen was allotted funds by the EU to hire parliamentary assistants. The court finding Ms. Le Pen diverted that money to National Rally Party staffers who were mainly working on domestic political activities in France, not on EU parliamentary duties.
Many on the right in France and abroad drawing comparisons between Le Pen's case and what they view as legal lawfare tactics used against Donald Trump ahead of the 2024 U.S. election. State Department spokeswoman Tammy Bruce on Monday referencing Vice President J.D. Vance's warning to our European counterparts.
We have got to do more as the West than just talk about democratic values. We must live them. Exclusion of people from the political process is particularly concerning, given the aggressive and corrupt lawfare waged against President Trump here in the United States. We support the right of everyone to offer their views in the public square, agree or disagree.
And with that, I have nothing else to add.
Legal scholar Hans Manke writing on X, quote, What the media is breathlessly calling embezzlement is nothing more than a ludicrously contrived campaign finance dispute. Le Pen, as both an EU and French politician, paid some of her assistance from her EU account. Mr. Manke describes the practice as, quote, perfectly normal.

The charge is that some of her aides in the European Parliament also worked for the party and not just on parliamentary work.
This was a common practice for a long time, and several other parties stand accused of doing the same, end quote. prior to her conviction, Ms. Le Pen leading the polls as the favorite to replace President Emmanuel Macron. Ms. Le Pen challenged Mr. Macron in 2017 and 2022, the second time around, faring better, but still coming up short at 41% to his 59%.
National Rally, frequently cast as far-right by its critics, strongly opposes illegal immigration, advocated for tough-on-crime policies, favors French nationalism over globalization, and aims to preserve French culture. Ms. Le Pen responding to her political ban, saying, Let's be clear. I am eliminated, but in reality it is millions of French people whose voices have been eliminated. Ms.
