Flavio Bolsonaro calls for election results to be annulled in Brazil after last minute move by socialist Lula to keep the polls open late!
Brazilian Senator and Presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro has arrived in Florida after fleeing from persecution in Brazil earlier this week after the rigged presidential election.
Bolsonaro was ordered by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to hand over his passport after challenging the corrupt results in the race against Lula da Silva.
His father, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, is currently serving a decades-long prison sentence following his 2022 rigged election against Lula da Silva.
Bolsonaro arrived in Miami this morning with his family after they were all granted visas.
Via Fox:

Trump spoke to reporters overnight and said he “would certainly approve” of Bolsonaro coming to the US, but said that he had “heard he was in Argentina.”
“The election was very strange, and I thought it was terrible,” Trump said. “Would I approve of it? Yeah, I would approve. It would be okay with me.”
“I didn’t take sides. Lula, I know. I know Flavio a little bit. I know the father very well. The father was treated really badly, I thought, but I wasn’t involved. That’s Brazil; it’s a different country,” he added.
“I thought I’d stay out of that one. I thought the end result, you know, it’s fine the end result. But the way they got to the end result was terrible.”

This is a developing story.

You sat on the paper sheet that crinkles every time you move. The doctor had seven minutes and one eye on the screen.
You told him about the shoulder that grinds when you reach for the top shelf. The knee that makes you grab the stair rail. The first twenty minutes out of bed, when your feet hit the cold floor and you shuffle to the coffee pot like someone twenty years older.
He nodded. Then he said it. “That’s just age.”
A pamphlet. A refill. The door clicks shut behind the doctor.
And you drive home wondering if this is how the rest of it goes.
Because here is what “just age” costs. It is the grandkids yelling “come play” while you stay in the recliner, since getting back up off the carpet is the hard part. It is the Saturday of raking that you pay for until Tuesday, with an ice pack on the couch. It is the hunt you missed, the back nine you sat out, the trip you skipped.
A lot of people try the usual fixes first.
One wrote: “A previous cortisone shot helped for a couple of weeks, but the issue came right back.”
Another went the exercise route: “I did my research and began to do rehab type exercises that really didn’t seem to help.”
And pain pills only quiet things for a few hours.
Then things got better.
They tried something you mix into your water each morning called Regenerate from The Wellness Company. Then they said what happened:
The one who had tried the rehab exercises: “On day 2, I noticed a change. On day 4, almost no pain. On day 6, ZERO pain.”
Another: “I can work in my flower garden again!”
And another: “On my trip I went, saw, and did everything that I intended to.”
Still another: “Without Regenerate, I couldn’t do it at age 67”
Regenerate comes from The Wellness Company where Dr. Peter McCullough, who told the truth during COVID when few doctors would, serves as Chief Scientific Officer.
What is it exactly?
Regenerate uses three peptides most folks have never heard of: BPC-157, KPV and TB-500.
Here is what each one does:
– BPC-157 backs up the recovery of your muscles, tendons and ligaments, the parts that pay for a day of raking.
– KPV helps keep your body’s normal inflammatory response in balance.
– TB-500 supports flexibility and endurance, so you can move and keep going.
Regenerate is the first oral blend of all three together. Each serving has 1 mg of each peptide. Peptides like these usually come as shots. The Wellness Company designed Regenerate so the same peptides come in drops instead of shots. No needles.
Each morning, it takes about a minute. First thing on an empty stomach, put 30 drops in two tablespoons of water and drink it. Then wait 20 minutes before you eat or drink anything else. That’s it. That’s all you need to do.
“But will I even feel it?”
Here is what buyers say. Leah P.: “I noticed a difference after 1 day.” Mary U., about 12 days in: “I’ve noticed that I wake up in less pain. It’s wonderful!” Shirley B., about her shoulder after a week: “Nothing else helped me.”
Not everyone moves that fast. One person wrote it was “too early to make a judgement” after his first stretch. Bodies differ. Give it the full 30-day bottle and pay attention to those first twenty minutes out of bed. That is where most people notice it first.
What’s the cost?
On subscription, Regenerate is $269.99, and you can skip or cancel anytime. That is 30 servings, about $9 a morning. A single bottle is $299.99, about $10 a morning. Shipping is free in the U.S.
Put that next to what you have already tried. According to FairVisitHealth, a cortisone shot without insurance typically runs $100 to $500, and one man said his cortisone shot only helped “for a couple of weeks” before the issue came right back. And rehab is usually more.
Before you try it, think about what a better morning would mean:

Your feet hit the floor and you walk the dog without shuffling

The grandkids say “come play” and you get down on the carpet and back up again

A Saturday of yard work that does not cost you Sunday, Monday and Tuesday

Your doctor said “That’s just age.”
But a lot of people are finding out that they can do better.

The post Your Doctor Said “That’s Just Age” – By Day 6, These 3 Little-Known Peptides Told A Different Story appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

“If men were angels, no government would be necessary.”
Madison wrote that in Federalist No. 51, and the Constitution is built on its premise: power tempts, and the people should listen closely when the powerful say what they intend to do with it. Today’s Democrats are saying quite a lot.
On October 13 at the University of Chicago, Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan spoke of bringing “signature cases” against people who “enabled” President Trump. Then she turned to the young. “I want young people coming out of school to say, ‘Should I go work for the Trump administration?’” she said. She wants them to think “lord, that might be buying myself a ton of problems I don’t want.” Her summary: “I want that deterrence message.”
Read that again. A sitting senator, a former intelligence officer, announced that she wants a twenty-two-year-old graduate to look at a job serving the elected President of the United States and see a prosecutor’s shadow.
Slotkin dismisses the backlash as “manufactured outrage” and insists she means only lawbreakers. But no one needs a “deterrence message” to keep young people from committing crimes. That is what the criminal code is for. A message aimed at the decision to serve at all is aimed at the lawful. And note the irony: she warns of a president who weaponizes justice, saying “if he can do it to me, he can do it to anyone,” while promising signature cases against the other side’s staff. Serving in a duly elected administration, of either party, is the civic bargain. Making it a hazard is intimidation, and it is anathema to the American idea.
We have seen how this ends. Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation did not establish a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. The Justice Department’s own inspector general found at least 17 significant errors and omissions in the surveillance applications targeting Carter Page, and said the Steele dossier “played a central and essential role.” John Durham found that the FBI opened Crossfire Hurricane on raw, uncorroborated intelligence, and an FBI lawyer pleaded guilty to altering an email in the surveillance process. The result was years of leaks, headlines, and a presidency under a cloud, built on a foundation that gave way.
Democrats then impeached President Trump twice in his first term, and they now insist they have learned restraint. Reuters reports that party aides say, “We’re not going into this to impeach,” and that “No one wants a failed vote on day one.” But the same aide warns that if investigations meet the threshold, “we will not hesitate.”
The leash is political arithmetic, not principle. And look at who they are already naming. Representative Robert Garcia, who would chair the House Oversight Committee, describes his target as the “Trump crime family.” He has already sent letters to Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and Howard Lutnick, and he has pledged to examine Elon Musk’s conduct at DOGE. Representative Jasmine Crockett has said of Musk, “we can have him under oath.” Garcia has also put former officials such as Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski on his list of subpoenas, explaining, “Just because you’re no longer in the position doesn’t mean you don’t have critical information.” All have denied wrongdoing. The RNC calls it “a revenge agenda.” First the target, then the search for the crime.
Then there is the Supreme Court, and Democrats’ open appetite to reshape it. In 1937, the Senate Judiciary Committee killed Franklin Roosevelt’s plan, calling it “a measure which should be so emphatically rejected that its parallel will never again be presented.” Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg agreed: “Nine seems to be a good number.” She warned that expansion means “one side saying, ‘When we’re in power, we’re going to enlarge the number of judges.’”
Yet in May, Kamala Harris listed “Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court” among ideas for her party, adding, “We gotta fight fire with fire.”
Senate candidates are following. Minnesota’s Peggy Flanagan: “I believe that we should add additional seats to the Supreme Court.”
Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed, asked if he favors expansion: “Yes, but fairly.” Hamilton, in Federalist No. 78, called the courts the least dangerous branch because they have “neither FORCE nor WILL, but merely judgment.” Packing converts that judgment into the spoils of whoever last won an election.
The same logic governs the maps. California Democrats passed Proposition 50, which tossed out a map drawn by an independent citizens commission and replaced it with one drawn by the Democratic legislature to win up to five more seats. A party that preaches about protecting democracy abandoned the one structure designed to stop politicians from picking their voters, and Virginia Democrats pushed a map of their own.
Finally, the ballot box itself. Confidence in American elections is fraying, and many on the right see the system as rigged and illegitimate. Doubt is a political fact, and the cures are cheap. Show an ID at the polls, and get your ballot in by Election Day. Voter ID is not a fringe demand. Pew finds that 83 percent of Americans support requiring government-issued photo ID to vote, including 71 percent of Democrats.
In 2005, a commission co-chaired by Jimmy Carter recommended a photo ID system to build public confidence. Yet when the House passed the SAVE America Act in February, Senate Democrats stalled it, and they blocked a standalone ID bill from Senator Husted on the floor. Chuck Schumer says “Democrats support commonsense voter ID,” but the votes tell a different story. The same goes for the calendar. In June, the Supreme Court held that states may count mail ballots that arrive up to five business days after Election Day. Roughly thirty states count some late ballots, Democratic-run Oregon among them. A result still trickling in days after the polls close invites suspicion, and the party whose slogan is “protect democracy” should be first to close that door. Instead, Democrats block ID legislation and leave the window open.
Madison did not bet on angels. He bet on limits: on courts that stay independent, on investigations that follow evidence, on citizens who can serve without being warned off. A party that treats investigations as a weapon, the courts as spoils, the maps as property, the young as targets, and public confidence in the ballot box as someone else’s problem is not preparing to govern. It is preparing to avenge. On November 3, voters will decide whether they want a government of laws or a government of deterrence messages.

World Peace

By Molly Schwartz, cross-asset macro strategist at RabobankWall Street traders walked into the office yesterday morning to see headlines that world peace was just beyond the horizon, as Turkish, Saudi, Qatari, and Pakistani officials wrapped up meetings in Tehran to try and bring an end to the war. And so, the headlines rocked that “Iran’s Supreme Leader Calls for Meeting Conditions to End War.” Markets priced in the likelihood of the war actually ending accordingly- given that conversations about nuclear never even made it to the table- with brent crude oil one-month futures down about $2 to $114/bbl.Only a few blocks away, the Israeli elections were in full swing, with the voter turnout nearing the highest level since 1975, as reported by the FT. Turnout was especially strong among voters in Arab-Israeli towns who “by the late afternoon had already surpassed their full vote tally for the entire 2022 election cycle.” The results, at the time of writing, appear neck and neck, but the odds are skewed in Netanyahu’s favor. Even if the Likud party fails to win a majority, and Eisenkot’s Yashur party comes into power, the likelihood of Eisenkot to create a coalition to go against the right-wing is limited. Therefore, should Eisenkot fail to achieve a coalition majority, Netanyahu remains in power until another round of elections are held in a few months.Meanwhile, Europe fails to stay unified in its dealings with Russia amidst the Russia-Ukraine war. Leaders from Finland and Norway spoke with Putin for the first time in over a year, with Finnish President Stubb calling the conversation “frank and substantive.” According to Bloomberg, a Kremlin read out of the call notes that Putin “emphasized that achieving a just and long-term peace is possible only if the legitimate interests of the Russian Federation are fully and unconditionally taken into account.” But other countries were less-than-pleased with this unfolding of events, with leaders from Denmark and Italy criticizing the move. Frederiksen said that she “sees no signs that Russia desires peace with Europe- neither in the hybrid warfare taking place every single day, nor in Ukraine, where they are launching fierce and aggressive attacks on a daily basis.” Especially as the Danish Intelligence Agency recently published a report warning Europe about the acceleration of time and scope of Russian hybrid attacks.So, some headlines suggest world peace may be just beyond the horizon—but the view from here remains obstructed. Talks in Tehran have produced conditions rather than an agreement, Israel’s election may reinforce the status quo, and Europe still can’t agree, even on a phone call. Are we on the verge of world peace, or a world in pieces?

Malik Williams, a Democratic candidate for a seat in Texas’ state legislature, called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and for legalizing marijuana during a Tuesday rally for U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico in Lubbock, Texas.”We can legalize and tax THC and cannabis. We’re gonna abolish ICE, we’re gonna tax the rich and we’re going to get my friend, the next United States Senator from the state of Texas, James Talarico, elected!” Williams exclaimed to raucous applause.Talarico, a Democrat running in a historically Republican state, has shied away from making such direct calls to abolish ICE while on the campaign trail.During a joint CNN and Jubilee town hall, Talarico directly denied wanting to abolish ICE when asked if he supported the idea.JAMES TALARICO TORCHES BIDEN BORDER POLICIES IN STUNNING ATTACK AD AS PROGRESSIVE TRIES TO FLIP TEXAS BLUE”No, and I never have,” Talarico responded, adding “we need Immigration and Customs Enforcement in this country, but that’s not what we’re seeing. What we’ve seen over the last year is a secret police force, and that’s what we don’t want in this country.”EXCLUSIVE: RESURFACED VIDEO SHOWS JAMES TALARICO DISCUSSING ‘EXCITING’ OPPORTUNITY TO END ‘OVER-POLICING’Talarico’s recent remarks, however, depart from past comments. In January, during a primary debate with Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Tex., Talarico said it was time to “tear down” ICE.”ICE shot a mother in the face. ICE kidnapped a 5-year-old boy. ICE executed a man in broad daylight on our streets just this morning. It’s time to tear down this secret police force and replace it with an agency that actually is going to focus on public safety,” he said.FOX NEWS POLL: MAJORITY SAYS IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT HAS CROSSED THE LINETalarico also advocated for “hauling in” agents in front of Congress to testify on actions taken during enforcement actions.Abolishing ICE is an unpopular opinion among Republicans nationwide, with 67% strongly opposing the idea, according to a July YouGov/The Economist poll. The same poll found 48% of Americans overall supporting ICE’s abolition.TRUMP WON THIS RELIABLY RED STATE BY DOUBLE DIGITS. NOW A DEADLOCKED RACE IS BRINGING HIM BACKTexas voters, meanwhile, have a moderately negative view of the agency as a whole. Only 42% of the state views the agency as very favorable or somewhat favorable, compared to 47% of the state viewing ICE as somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable, according to a February poll from The Texas Politics Project.In introducing Talarico on Tuesday, Williams also stumped a wide number of policies popular with the rising crop of Democratic Socialists while appearing to bash President Donald Trump and Talarico’s Republican opponent Ken Paxton.DEMOCRATS CAN TAKE THE LEAD ON ONE OF THE NATION’S TOP ISSUES – DATA CENTERS”When we have embarrassing loser representatives that support a fascist, racist, rapist, war criminal, I say we deserve better! When the backbone of Texas, our ranchers and farmers tell us that they do not want data centers and then our politicians, as they love to do, they force it upon us without consent, I say we deserve better!” Williams exclaimed to fanfare.Williams also advocated for further funding in public education, guaranteed childcare and an expansion of healthcare, all popular policies with the Democratic Socialists of America.The Talarico, Williams, and Paxton campaigns did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for further comment.

One of the greatest boxers of all time is hanging up the gloves.World featherweight champion Amanda Serrano and Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Jake Paul, announced that Serrano will have her “Last Walk” on Jan. 9 against Skye Falzon in her home country of Puerto Rico.”Boxing has been my life, and I never could have imagined the journey it would take me and my family on. From the early days when women’s boxing was fighting for recognition in small theater shows, to headlining Madison Square Garden in New York, reaching millions of fans around the world on the biggest shows, and helping open doors for the next generation of female fighters, [husband] Jordan [Maldonado] and I always believed and I’m proud of everything we’ve accomplished…CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGE”To close my career at home in Puerto Rico, in front of the people who have supported me from the beginning, means everything. On Saturday, January 9, I’m going to give the fans one final night to remember. This is The Last Walk of my boxing career, and I hope everyone who has been part of this journey, from Puerto Rico and New York to fans watching around the world… will be there to share it with me.”Serrano also praised Paul and his MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian for helping her pave the way for women’s boxing.”Nakisa, Jake and MVP believed in me and in women’s boxing, and together we’ve helped change what’s possible for women in this sport. We’ve fought for respect, equal opportunities, fair pay, and the choice to compete under the same rules as men. There’s still more work to do, and I’ll continue fighting for the next generation long after I hang up my gloves.”SIGN UP FOR THE DAILY OUTKICK NEWSLETTER”Amanda Serrano is the MOAT. The Most Of All Time. The most accomplished female boxer of all time, the most watched, the most paid, and one of the most influential athletes this sport has ever seen,” Paul and Bidarian said. “When Amanda became MVP’s first signee, we made a commitment to build a platform where the greatest female fighters in the world could receive the recognition, compensation and opportunities they deserve. Amanda has been the foundation of that vision, and her success has helped change the entire landscape of women’s boxing. Together, we’ve shattered records, delivered some of the biggest events in combat sports history and proven that women’s boxing belongs on the world’s biggest stages.”The Last Walk is a celebration of an athlete who changed the sport forever, and alongside DAZN who has supported women’s boxing’s biggest events time and time again, we’re proud to give Amanda the farewell she deserves. Saturday, January 9, will mark the end of an extraordinary career inside the ring, but Amanda’s legacy will live on through every female fighter who follows in her footsteps.”Serrano had already made a name for herself in the boxing world but gained worldwide popularity when her second fight against Katie Taylor was the co-main event of Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson in November 2024. Serrano lost all three of her fights to Taylor by decision, two of which were main events at a sold-out Madison Square Garden.She is 50-4-1 and has won each of her last three fights since facing Taylor on July 11, 2025. This will be her sixth pro fight in Puerto Rico and the second at the Coliseo.

Non-Citizen Voters and UOCAVA Voters Are Major Areas of Concern in California

California – Infiltration of Non-Citizens in the Voter Rolls
All eyes are currently on the recent court challenges requiring California to suspend the counting of 20K high propensity non-citizens in the November elections.  This initial number may be the floor rather than the ceiling, which could extend into the millions.
The “lady doth protest too much” attitude from the California Secretary of State and past refusals to look at the data expose the structural failures of California to follow the law and maintain clean voter rolls,
Understanding how the system has been designed to fail starts with automatic voter registrations at the DMV.  California implemented this in April of 2018. It became one of the first states to do so, and the voter registrations quickly ballooned by 1.4 million.  The Secretary of State at that time, Alex Padilla, posted this press release on November 6, 2019.
SACRAMENTO, CA – California Secretary of State Alex Padilla released the latest statewide report of voter registration, showing that 80.65 percent of eligible Californians are registered to vote—the highest percentage since June 1952. As of October 1, 2019 there were 20,328,636 Californians registered as of this report.
This report also showed percentages of changes to political party registrations:

Democratic  +0.96%
Republicans  -4.04%
No Party Preference  +2.74%
American Independent  +0.13%
Green  -0.13%
Libertarian +0.16%
Peace and Freedom  0.0%
Unknown/Other  +0.21%

As of September 4, 2026, the total number of California registered voters stands at 23,164,977, representing 85.25% of all eligible voters. In a state that has been losing residents to other states at an astonishing rate.  This is worthy of examination.
In 2023, Tracy La, Executive Director of Viet Rise, a Tides Foundation-funded entity, advocated for 6,000 undocumented Asian non-citizens to be allowed to vote in Orange County, California.

That same year, the Migration Policy Institute put Orange County’s total figure of undocumented immigrants at 211,000.
A later analysis in 2025 estimated that the number had grown to 491,000.  This is only one of the 58 counties in the state.
REMINDER: Elections in California’s Orange County Should Never Have Been Certified in 2024

In 2023, the state’s undocumented population was estimated between 2.3 and 2.9 million.  The federal investigation naming 20,000 non-citizens on the rolls is just the beginning, showing infiltration of non-citizens in California’s rolls.
The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA ) is another pathway for risk.
In California, an applicant can register online by attesting to U.S. citizenship, which includes an applicant who resides outside the US indefinitely and one who has never lived in the United States. Ballots are then delivered by email, mail, fax, or other means.  No independent citizenship verification step is required.  Here is who qualifies:

A U.S. citizen and resident of California.
OR
A U.S. citizen and a member of the Uniformed Services or Merchant Marine on active duty outside my county.
A U.S. citizen and an eligible spouse or dependent of a member of the Uniformed Services or Merchant Marine on active duty outside my county.
A U.S. citizen and an activated National Guard member on State orders outside my county.
A U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S. temporarily.
A U.S. citizen residing outside the U.S. indefinitely.
A U.S. citizen and have never resided in the U.S

Federal cybersecurity authorities have identified UOCAVA as a high-risk process from a cybersecurity and foreign interference standpoint. California’s statutory and administrative framework relies on precisely the verification and return methods federal agencies have flagged as the weakest.  They simultaneously fail to report the complete disposition data for ballots cast through the UOCAVA framework.
In the 2024 general election, 73,499 ballots were sent to 180 countries.  Of these, out-of-country registrations, only 5.09% registered as Republicans.  Many new registrations failed to state where they were born or stated they were foreign-born. An additional 35,761 ballots were sent out of the State. Over 38% of the live ballots sent out had no provenance as they were never returned.  No chain of custody or records exist to show if they were received by the intended person or stolen by a foreign adversary. This exposes an easy path for non-citizens to subvert the votes of real citizens.
Since 2020 the number of civilians have increased 5 times compared to military service members for which UOCAVA was enacted to serve. The lack of verification to confirm citizenship questions the eligibility of all UOCAVA registrations and deserves a full examination.
Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act, 52 U.S.C. 20507, requires states to conduct a reasonable, uniform, and non-discriminatory program to maintain accurate voter lists.  The current California standards and failure to conduct investigations are clearly a cause for concern. Willful dilution of the votes of lawful citizens erodes public confidence and is a punishable offense.
These system failures in California may soon be declared too broken to justify a legally certifiable election.

The Federal Election Commission’s electronic filing system went offline after a hacker or hackers attempted to breach the agency’s systems, disrupting mandatory campaign finance disclosures one week before the November 3 midterm elections.
In an email obtained by Reuters, an FEC electronic filings officer wrote to campaign compliance firms on Monday night that “We have a bad actor attempting to breach FEC systems. As a result, we’ve had to temporarily shut down our web-facing services.”
The agency confirmed in a public statement that its electronic filing system was offline and that IT staff were actively working to restore service, while noting that users could still search the website for previously filed reports.
“I’ve never seen this in 26 years,” Steven ​Mele, president and CEO at political finance compliance firm MBA Consulting Group, told Reuters.
A status message said the system had been down since around 10 p.m. EST on Monday, and a later update said the issue had been identified and a fix was being implemented.
The outage blocks political organizations from filing the FEC’s required 24-hour and 48-hour spending reports, which disclose last-minute expenditures by campaigns, super PACs, and other groups on specific races.
These filings are especially significant in the final days of an election cycle when outside spending is high.
The FEC tracks and enforces federal campaign finance rules but does not administer elections or handle voter registration.
Officials emphasized that the disruption should not affect voters’ ability to cast ballots.
The timing has drawn attention because the midterms will determine control of Congress for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term, with record spending by outside groups in the closing week.
Reuters reports:
The midterms are now the most expensive US election in history with roughly $11.21 billion spent on advertising and future reservations so far, according to political ad tracker AdImpact. They have surpassed the previous record set in the 2024 elections when $11.2 billion was ​spent on all races, including $3.2 billion ​on the presidential race between ⁠Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, AdImpact said.
Much of the spending is being driven by super PACs, which can accept unlimited amounts of money from wealthy individuals and corporations, opens new tab and spend as much as they want ​on campaigns with few restrictions.
The sums being spent in recent weeks are staggering as Democrats gain ground ​in several Republican ⁠strongholds.
Super PACs and dark money groups have spent an average of over $50 million per day over the last week, said Brendan Glavin, research director at nonpartisan campaign watchdog group OpenSecrets. More than $250 million in spending was reported on October 20 alone, he added.
