Annie Andrews courted GOP voters on her way to a major Senate upset. Her old social media posts show a different tone toward Republicans. The newly elected Dem once called for the GOP to be “lit on fire” and thrown in a dumpster. She also took shots at JD Vance and Katie Britt. Other posts reveal her outspoken support for transgender rights, an issue on which she later distanced herself from certain positions during the campaign. Full story here

'LOST STATE:' A Somali daycare owner whose business has faced scrutiny over millions in state and federal funding defeated a Republican incumbent to win a Minnesota House seat. Abdi Daisane's Blooming Kids Child Care Center has been cited for over a dozen violations, and as sponsored for state funding by a nonprofit that the state claims "knowingly defrauded" Minnesota to the tune of $18 million.

Sen. Bernie Moreno is torching the Democratic mayor of Columbus for signing a partnership with Ghana to recruit foreign nurses into Ohio's healthcare workforce — funded with $225,000 in taxpayer money. Moreno fired off a letter to Mayor Andrew Ginther Wednesday morning, arguing the city should be investing in Ohio's own nursing students instead of subsidizing overseas labor pipelines. He didn't stop at the $225K figure either, claiming Ginther has "lit on fire" approximately $8.3 million in public dollars "to benefit noncitizens and foreign governments" since taking office. The Ohio senator urged the mayor to reallocate the funds toward expanding enrollment and training capacity at local colleges and universities, warning that publicly subsidized foreign recruitment will "likely negatively impact American nurses' wages."

175 House Democrats fire off a letter demanding the Trump administration halt its federal investigation into Rep. Ilhan Omar's immigration history, arguing the probe amounts to election interference with her re-election just one week away. The letter, led by Rep. Pramila Jayapal, blasts DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Attorney General Todd Blanche, accusing them of weaponizing law enforcement against a sitting member of Congress. Federal agents executed a search warrant on Omar's D.C. home on Oct. 12, seizing phones and notebooks as part of a probe into whether Omar or her father lied about her birth year on immigration paperwork when her family fled Somalia in the late 1990s. The core question: if Omar was 18 or older when her father obtained citizenship — not 17 as previously claimed — she would not have automatically qualified for citizenship through him and would have needed to file her own application. House Majority Whip Tom Emmer has called for Omar to be jailed and deported if the allegations are proven true. Story here:

FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water. The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis. Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures." Full story here

CHAOS INC: A Fox News Digital investigation by @FoxNews Digital's senior editor of investigations @AsraNomani has identified 54 organizations behind France's escalating protests — a sprawling network of communist parties, revolutionary socialist groups, labor unions, Palestine-solidarity organizations and international media outlets working to transform grievances into a full-blown revolt against capitalism, government austerity and military spending. Now, 28 communist and socialist youth organizations across 12 European countries are mobilizing for a coordinated November 20 strike under the slogan "Fight for Our Future, Not Their Wars," calling for walkouts, blockades, occupations and mass demonstrations. Among the international amplifiers: organizations tied to Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist tech tycoon living in Shanghai, whose network includes Tricontinental and BreakThrough News, a New York-based outlet that published advance coverage of the weekend's mayhem in France.

Paris woke to shattered storefronts, burned cars and a massive police presence after violent clashes erupted across France during nationwide protests over rising living costs and poor school conditions. Police reported 1,800 arrests nationwide, including 855 in the Paris region alone. Masked groups fought with police, looted businesses and set fires in several cities. In Limoges, fire tore through the city's historic town hall — built in 1883 — collapsing the roof and destroying roughly two-thirds of the building's exterior. The local prefect called it "a catastrophe for heritage." President Trump weighed in Sunday, blaming immigration for the unrest and urging France to close its borders. "The immigration of people from an entirely different world, people with hatred in their hearts, has shattered that once great country," he wrote on Truth Social. "Close your borders and take control, before it is too late!" Full story here

WATCH: A resident responds to federal agents raiding Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home as part of a criminal fraud investigation. Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) executed a judicially authorized search warrant secured by the DOJ.

New York Mayor Mamdani launches sweeping NYPD use-of-force review but quietly passes over his own campaign promises to disband a controversial police unit and end arrests for minor crimes. The self-proclaimed socialist pledged to eliminate the Strategic Response Group and stop policing lower-level offenses like public urination — but public urination summonses have actually climbed 18% under his watch. Mamdani's office did not respond to questions about why his reform plans have taken a different path than what he promised voters. Full story here

A Fort Hood massacre survivor says she wants to attend Nidal Hasan's execution and look him in the eye — but she's questioning the plan to livestream his death to the public. Julia Wilson, a former Defense Department civilian employee who survived the 2009 shooting that killed 13 people and injured 32, told Fox News Digital she wishes Hasan could be executed "13 times over." She fears, however, that broadcasting his death could expose children to the kind of violence she's spent nearly 17 years trying to forget. Full story here

A Biden-appointed federal judge erupted at Trump administration lawyers Monday over the removal of roughly 430 trees from a historic D.C. golf course — with one courtroom journalist saying he'd never heard a judge "scream at full voice at a lawyer before." "You've lost credibility!" Judge Ana Reyes told DOJ attorneys after the government waited until 4:55 p.m. Friday, ahead of a holiday weekend, to notify the court that tree removal at East Potomac Golf Links would begin Saturday, according to a journalist covering the case. Reyes, who previously faced a Trump DOJ misconduct complaint alleging potential bias, demanded to know why government lawyers delayed notifying the court after learning of the operation. The complaint was later dismissed. The administration maintains the removals follow a 2019 National Park Service landscape-restoration plan predating Trump's proposal to transform the public course into a championship-caliber facility.

FUELING CONTROVERSY: GOP lawmakers fire back at Trump's Russia diesel deal, with some vowing bipartisan legislation to block it. Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick announced the "Ronald Reagan Peace Through Strength Act" to ban all Russian oil purchases, saying it will be forced to the House floor and "pass overwhelmingly." A bipartisan group of senators — including Republicans Collins, Murkowski, Tillis, and Curtis — also slammed the agreement, declaring Trump's move "runs directly counter" to a 2022 congressional ban on Russian energy imports.

HOMELAND THREAT: "There's no limit to what China is willing to do. It is a huge, huge concern. We have to be vigilant, and we have to disrupt these operations on our soil," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli told Fox News Digital. Essayli rattled off a string of cases from his office this year: a woman accused of surveilling the Taiwanese president's son in Seattle, a man accused of selling $300 million in AI chips to China and a city mayor who pleaded guilty to serving as an unregistered agent of Beijing.

CASH CRUNCH: Republicans have outspent Democrats by $400 million this election cycle, forcing the party into brutal triage with just three weeks until Election Day. Democrats see openings across Trump country — South Carolina, Kansas, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, Texas — but a massive GOP spending advantage backed by Senate Leadership Fund, MAGA Inc., and an Elon Musk-bankrolled super PAC is threatening to choke off their expansion before it takes hold. Senate Majority PAC says it's competing in 9 battleground states, but a veteran Democratic Senate operative told Fox News Digital the math is unforgiving: "The hard reality is there isn't enough funding to protect the toss-up states and also heavily invest in the red-leaning states where we're playing offense." The DCCC is sounding alarms too, warning donors in an internal memo obtained by Fox News Digital that Republicans "are now flooding districts across our battlefield with MAGA Inc. and Trump super PAC money that we simply cannot match" — and requesting an emergency $17 million by Oct. 22 to close out winnable races.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, promising to stand up to her own party. Full story here

EXCLUSIVE: Federal agents descended on Rep. Ilhan Omar's Washington, D.C., home early Monday morning amid an investigation into the congresswoman's immigration paperwork. Multiple HSI agents in jackets were seen outside the residence around 6 a.m. as Homeland Security Investigations led the operation. Two sources close to the investigation tell Fox News Digital the search stems from questions surrounding paperwork filled out by Omar's late father when she was a child.

Dem governor hopeful Rob Sand has touted his Christian faith and independent streak while appealing to conservative voters.

His GOP rival is questioning his values. Full story here

Americans are split on whether the Supreme Court should stay at 9 justices or get a major overhaul — and the debate is getting louder on Capitol Hill. A Republican-backed constitutional amendment to permanently lock SCOTUS at 9 justices failed in the House after falling short of the two-thirds majority needed. Meanwhile, Democrats have introduced competing proposals to expand the bench to 13, impose 18-year term limits, and enforce new ethics standards. Fox News Digital spoke with voters outside the Capitol, and the divide was sharp. Derek from D.C. argued more justices would force broader consensus. Tim from D.C. said the push to expand is purely political. Carl from Texas didn't mince words: "If we're gonna change the size we need to do it now. If you're going to pack the court, let's pack it now." Full story here

SILICON VALLEY SOUTH: Palm Beach is rapidly transforming from a retirees' playground into a booming tech and finance hub as wealthy Americans flee high-tax states like New York and California for Florida's business-friendly climate. Companies like ServiceNow, Percepto and Palantir are expanding their footprints across South Florida, while CEOs and Wall Street executives are relocating operations to take advantage of zero state income tax and year-round lifestyle perks. A decade ago, hedge funds looking for office space in the region faced limited options. Today, new commercial developments in West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens have changed the equation entirely. Luxury real estate expert Margit Brandt says the transformation is only beginning, pointing to areas like Wellington and western Palm Beach County where new schools, hospitals and infrastructure could accommodate the next wave of corporate relocations and families chasing a better quality of life.
