A federal judge ruled that the Justice Department's effort to collect state voter rolls and run them against a federal immigration database is unlawful, and another judge blocked the deportation of a man shot by ICE in New York City. The State Department has now revoked more than 250,000 visas, and Rubio just wrapped a European tour featuring a new Greenland security pact and a Strategic Dialogue in Athens — State Department Principal Deputy Spokeswoman Paloma Chacón joins us LIVE. Meanwhile, the Michigan Senate debate got personal, forecasters are feuding over the midterm polls, and gun owners just scored a major win as the ATF stops enforcing NFA registration for suppressors and short-barreled rifles.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Judge Sparkle Sooknanan rules in a 78-page opinion that DOJ's push to gather state voter rolls and check them against the DHS SAVE database to demand removals is unlawful — DOJ says it is reviewing the ruling, and it has lost more than 20 similar cases
- Judge J. Paul Oetken temporarily bars the deportation of Oscar Belgal, a Dominican national shot by ICE officers in the Bronx during an arrest attempt, and bars his transfer outside the New York–New Jersey area while his detention challenge is pending — DHS says he has a grand larceny conviction and a lengthy arrest record
- The State Department says it has revoked more than 250,000 visas since January 2025, up from 175,000 in August — Paloma Chacón joins us LIVE to talk Rubio's trip, the new U.S.–Denmark–Greenland security pact, and the U.S.–Greece Strategic Dialogue
- Michigan's Senate debate between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers turns into a shouting match of personal attacks, while Nate Silver and other forecasters trade barbs over what the latest polling actually shows
- The ATF announces it will no longer enforce NFA approval, registration, and tax-stamp requirements for suppressors, short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, and "any other weapons," effective today — a major win for the Second Amendment

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Texas Senate nominee James Talarico has been off the campaign trail for 12 days with just 26 days until Election Day — his campaign says it's the flu, while Ken Paxton's "Where's Jimmy?" countdown and a crowd chant at Trump's San Antonio rally have turned the absence into the story of the race. Meanwhile, Vice President Vance announced that Microsoft, Adobe, and several Indian IT firms are being suspended from the green card program for H-1B workers over fraud allegations, Defense Secretary Hegseth says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will be public, and President Trump just promised no strikes on Iran before the midterms.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- James Talarico's 12-day absence from the trail becomes the Texas Senate race's biggest storyline — his campaign says he has the flu and will be back this weekend, while Paxton's campaign demands "proof of life," Trump calls him "missing in action," and Talarico's next scheduled event is a CNN town hall on October 14
- Vice President JD Vance announces the White House Fraud Task Force is suspending Microsoft, Adobe, Cognizant, Infosys, Tata, Wipro, HCL, and Capgemini from a program used to seek green cards for H-1B workers — Vance says Microsoft laid off 6,000 Americans while obtaining 6,300 H-1B visas, and Labor Secretary Sonderling says DOL has uncovered $22 billion in visa fraud
- Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, is set to be executed by firing squad on December 3 — the first U.S. military execution since 1961 — and Hegseth says "we'll make sure that people are able to watch it"
- President Trump announces on Truth Social that the U.S. "will not be attacking Iran at any time prior to the midterm elections," citing "productive discussions" with Tehran, one day after The Atlantic reported the White House asked the Pentagon for pre-election strike options
- Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed faces fresh trouble from his own side — focus groups of Michigan Democrats show doubts over Israel and a sense of being taken for granted among Black voters — while Democratic Senate candidates across the map scramble in the final stretch

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
On the third anniversary of October 7, the FBI announced it stopped an ISIS-inspired plot to attack the Mall of America, arresting an 18-year-old U.S. citizen of Somali descent from Richfield, Minnesota, after a nearly two-year investigation. Meanwhile, the DNC filed a federal lawsuit over the Trump administration's taxpayer-funded TV ads, ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is expected to face new U.S. charges over the alleged torture of Americans, and NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's October 7 statement set off a firestorm.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The FBI arrests 18-year-old Sheikhdoon Abdullahi Mohamud of Richfield, Minnesota, after he allegedly pledged support to ISIS and paid $600 to an undercover FBI employee for an AK-47 and 200 rounds of ammunition, planning an attack on a festival at the Mall of America later this month
- The DNC sues the Trump administration in D.C. federal court, alleging its recent TV ad campaign is illegal government-funded propaganda — the White House calls the ads public service announcements, and Trump says future ads will be paid for by his MAGA Inc. super PAC
- Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores, already facing narco-terrorism charges in New York, are expected to face new charges tied to the alleged torture of Americans detained in Venezuela — an announcement could come as soon as Thursday
- The Atlantic reports, citing two unnamed administration officials, that the White House asked the Pentagon for Iran strike options that could be carried out before the November 3 midterms — the report says no decision has been made
- Mamdani marks the October 7 anniversary with a statement acknowledging Hamas "war crimes" while accusing Israel of "genocide" — the ADL, Israeli officials, and Jewish leaders blast the statement, with the ADL pointing out he never once used the word "Jews"
- More midterm chaos as early voting gets underway and campaigns scramble with less than four weeks to go

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
An internal DHS alert obtained by NewsNation warns that a cartel-linked smuggler may be planning to target and abduct Border Patrol personnel near Presidio and El Paso, Texas. Meanwhile, Middle East oil exports are reportedly back above pre-war levels, and President Trump signed an executive order letting truckers and farmers use tax-free red-dyed diesel on the highway through the end of the year. The media is also melting down over Trump's rally remarks about Iran and California, and the White House says critics are twisting what he actually meant.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- An internal DHS alert reveals a known smuggler may be planning to bring migrants from Colombia and Venezuela across the Texas border as cover to target and kidnap CBP personnel in the Presidio and El Paso areas — CBP says it is vetting the intelligence and declined to discuss countermeasures
- Middle East oil exports climb back above pre-war levels, per Kpler data, while President Trump signs an executive order allowing tax-free red-dyed diesel for highway use through December 31 to bring down near-record diesel prices
- Trump's Nebraska rally comment — "Let them take out Los Angeles, let them take out San Diego" — sparks a media firestorm and a "deranged" charge from Gov. Newsom, while the White House says he was describing what a nuclear Iran would have threatened, not hoping for an attack
- Kilmar Abrego Garcia is back in federal court in Maryland as the government fights to deport him to Liberia, Sen. Elissa Slotkin claims Saddam Hussein "would spit out his tea" at Trump's corruption, and Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed again can't bring himself to condemn the Muslim Brotherhood on live TV

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The Justice Department just filed to revoke the citizenship of 40 naturalized Americans accused of lying about serious criminal histories on their applications — what Attorney General Todd Blanche calls "the largest denaturalization effort in modern history." Meanwhile, Minnesota is making headlines for all the wrong reasons: a shooting outside a high school homecoming game, and 10 of 16 newly charged election-crime defendants across the country turning up in the North Star State. Turkey and Pakistan are also deploying troops to Saudi Arabia, and PragerU CEO Marissa Streit joins us LIVE.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:

- Minnesota's rough weekend: gunfire erupts outside the Eden Prairie High School homecoming game, sending two teens to the hospital and forcing the game to be postponed — law enforcement sources link the shooting to local gang activity, putting fresh scrutiny on state leadership weeks before Election Day
- The DOJ charges 16 noncitizens — all lawful permanent residents, including 10 in Minnesota — with illegal voting, false citizenship claims, and related election crimes
- PragerU CEO Marissa Streit joins us LIVE to break down how the ongoing war could shape the upcoming midterms and what it means for everyday Americans
- Turkey and Pakistan agree to "rapid deployment" of troops to Saudi Arabia under the new Mecca Joint Defence Agreement, widening the regional war as Houthi attacks on the kingdom intensify

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
The DOJ unsealed charges today against men in Florida and Louisiana accused of funneling over $1.7 million to Hamas through fake charity drives — with French authorities making coordinated arrests on the same day. Meanwhile, a Biden-appointed federal judge in Miami just ruled the 1996 law banning noncitizen voting unconstitutional, and New York's Cornell sexual assault case exploded into a political circus as AOC got fact-checked stating civil lawsuit allegations as established fact and Trump called newly appointed special prosecutor Letitia James "corrupt." France, meanwhile, remains in flames as student riots enter their third day.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- The DOJ unseals an indictment against Hamas fundraiser Mahmoud Alzaq — a battalion deputy in Hamas's armed wing — and associates in Florida and Louisiana accused of funneling over $1.7 million to the terror group through fake Gaza charity campaigns, with coordinated arrests by French authorities the same day
- A Biden-appointed federal judge in Miami rules the 1996 federal law criminalizing noncitizen voting unconstitutional, tossing charges against a Jamaican national who voted in 2020 — the DOJ is expected to appeal
- New York Gov. Kathy Hochul names Attorney General Letitia James special prosecutor in the Cornell sexual assault lawsuit, pulling the case from the local DA — AOC gets a community-note fact-check for stating the civil lawsuit's allegations as proven fact, while Trump calls James "a corrupt person" who won't give the accused "a fair shake"
- France remains in chaos as student riots over school conditions enter their third straight day — nearly 2,000 arrests, over 300 police officers injured, and schools burned to the ground, with French intelligence blaming the hard-left France Unbowed party for orchestrating the unrest
- More midterm chaos as the polling landscape remains as unpredictable as ever heading into November

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Authorities thwarted a planned mass shooting at the Texas State Capitol scheduled for today — the same day President Trump was set to visit the state. Meanwhile, Bolivia's own Attorney General was arrested just two days after Secretary Rubio revoked his visa over trafficking and money laundering allegations, and a new Honduran migrant caravan is pushing north as DHS warns it has "zero chance" of reaching the border. Add in midterm polling that's gone completely haywire in every direction, and it's a packed show.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Texas DPS and the FBI arrest 40-year-old Benny Caldera Jr. hours before his alleged planned mass shooting at the State Capitol in Austin — the same day President Trump was scheduled to visit the state; reports indicate the suspect expressed hostility toward AIPAC
- Houthi and Iran-backed attacks keep escalating against Saudi Arabia as the kingdom accuses the rebels of repeatedly targeting Mecca itself, the first such attempts since 2017
- Midterm polling has become a genuine mess — CNN says Trump is now more underwater than in 2018, while other polls show Democrats' generic ballot lead collapsing to barely 1.6 points, with conservative critics arguing pollsters are systematically undercounting Republicans who refuse to participate in surveys
- Bolivia's Attorney General Roger Mariaca is arrested on trafficking and money laundering charges just two days after the State Department revoked his visa as part of a broader crackdown on corrupt Latin American officials
- A new migrant caravan out of Honduras pushes north through Mexico as DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warns it has "zero chance" of reaching the U.S. border, even as confusion over ICE's "worst first" arrest guidance briefly rattled agents last weekend before Trump personally stepped in to reaffirm full arrest authority

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.

The DOJ just filed a judicial misconduct complaint against six of Minnesota's seven active federal judges for badmouthing the Trump administration's immigration crackdown to the New York Times. President Trump announced a $54 billion South Korean investment in an Alaska LNG pipeline today — even as a gas pipeline exploded outside Damascus, knocking out three Syrian power plants. And Israeli passengers on a FlyDubai flight stormed the cockpit themselves to stop an attempted jihadist hijacking — while legacy media tripped over itself calling it a "brawl."

TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- AG Todd Blanche files a judicial misconduct complaint against six of Minnesota's seven active federal judges — including Patrick Schiltz and John Tunheim — after they gave a New York Times interview blasting the administration's immigration enforcement surge; DOJ wants them removed from all DHS-related cases and investigated by the 8th Circuit
- President Trump announces $54 billion in South Korean investment for an 807-mile Alaska LNG pipeline, a political boost for endangered GOP Sen. Dan Sullivan — as a gas pipeline explosion outside Damascus knocks three Syrian power plants offline amid ongoing sabotage and unrest across the Middle East
- Israeli passengers on FlyDubai Flight 1073 storm the cockpit and subdue an Omani co-pilot who allegedly stabbed the captain and tried to crash the plane in what Israeli officials call an attempted jihadist terror attack — while The New York Times and other outlets get mocked online for calling it a "pilot brawl" instead of terrorism
- Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's odd-couple alliance continues on Capitol Hill as they push their "Epstein 2.0" transparency bill and Massie's impeachment articles against Defense Secretary Hegseth — the strangest bipartisan double-act in Congress

Sen. Chuck Grassley dropped a bombshell today: Jack Smith's investigators didn't just subpoena 87 White House phones — they swept up communications from nearly 20 news outlets, including Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, and The Federalist. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court handed Trump another 6-3 win, letting third-country deportations resume while the justices weigh the policy's legality. The Iranian regime is reportedly growing rattled by a surge in insurgent activity in the country's southeast, adding to the pressure from the naval blockade and stalled ceasefire talks. Rep. Riley Moore joins us LIVE to talk H-1B visa fraud, and brand-new polling shows record disapproval for absolutely everyone — Trump, Congress, even the Supreme Court.

Chuck Grassley reveals at today's Senate Judiciary hearing that Jack Smith's team obtained communications from nearly 20 media outlets — including Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, The Federalist, CBS, CNN, and the AP — after subpoenaing 87 White House phones; Smith tells senators "I stand by" every charging decision as Republicans openly float prosecuting him
- Rep. Riley Moore (R-WV) joins us LIVE to break down H-1B visa fraud, including active Department of Labor investigations into fraudulent applications displacing American workers

Tonight on The Tony Kinnett Cast — live at 7PM ET on The Daily Signal's YouTube channel.
Middle East crude oil exports just hit 80% of pre-war levels while Iran's own exports have collapsed to zero — and President Trump just rejected Tehran's latest ceasefire offer as insufficient. Meanwhile, swing-state Democrats are openly telling AOC and her fellow socialists to stay away from their campaigns just weeks before the midterms, Education Secretary Linda McMahon formally rescinded Biden's Title IX gender-identity rule today, and Rand Paul dropped fresh Fauci diary revelations about a secret aerosolized Ebola experiment.
TONIGHT'S RUNDOWN:
- Middle East crude oil exports climb to roughly 80% of pre-war levels even as Iran's own oil exports have collapsed to zero under the naval blockade — President Trump rejects Iran's latest ceasefire proposal, calling their demand to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days "not acceptable," and tells aides he expects renewed bombing after the midterms
- Swing-state Democrats explicitly ask AOC and her team to "stay away" from their general election campaigns, with one senior Democratic strategist telling Axios "the polling is atrocious for her... she's a lightning rod" — a stunning turn for a woman eyeing a 2028 presidential run
- New polling from Nate Silver's model shows Democrats' generic ballot lead widening to D+9.2, even as a separate CNN/SSRS poll finds Republicans facing a bleaker environment than 2018 — we break down what the numbers really mean and where the uncertainty lies
- Education Secretary Linda McMahon formally rescinds the Biden-era Title IX rule protecting gender identity, restoring the 2020 Trump-era regulations and declaring "boys in boys' sports and girls in girls' sports"
- Sen. Rand Paul releases new Fauci diary entries revealing NIAID secretly funded an Army experiment that aerosolized Ebola — with Fauci privately writing the results "never should have been done" and pushing to keep it classified
