Erick Erickson's New York Times essay argues that Republicans suffered major losses because voters wanted normal, competent governance and saw too much influence from what he calls the "weirdo right."

James Carville believes Democrats won because they moved away from unpopular "woke" messaging and refocused on kitchen-table issues.

Gavin Newsom's sweeping clemency action converts all 548 California death sentences to life without parole, including 33 inmates from the Central Valley. Supporters call it a landmark step away from capital punishment, while critics argue it overrides jury decisions and reopens wounds for victims' families.  After nearly two decades of planning and debate, the Fresno City Council voted 6-1 to indefinitely table the Southeast Development Area. The proposal would have transformed about 9,000 acres of southeast Fresno and eventually accommodated up to 45,000 homes, but concerns about growth, farmland, infrastructure, and political opposition ultimately stopped the project, at least in its current form.

The Fresno City Council voted to idefinitely table the Southeast Development Area, stopping a proposed 9,000-acre expansion that could have added 45,000 homes to southeast Fresno. The decision marks a major setback for one of Jerry Dyer's signature growth initiatives and reflects growing political opposition to the project.  The story is a nostalgic tribute to Back to the Future and the franchise's iconic "November 5, 1955" moment. Rather than new developments, it's a celebration of the day Doc Brown invented the flux capacitor and a look back at vintage Cracked magazine parodies inspired by the beloved time-travel films.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Google, Meta, and TikTok are asking federal courts to block California's new youth social media law before it takes effect. The companies say the law infringes on constitutional speech rights and conflicts with federal protections, while California argues the measure is a necessary safeguard for children online.  The New York appeals court's ruling keeps New York City's luxury second-home tax on track.

Gavin Newsom is seeking to commute every death sentence in California to life without parole, affecting 548 inmates.

The assessment is that voters used the 2026 midterms to check the Trump administration, citing concerns about the economy and the Iran war. The result gave Democrats a significant victory, shifted power in Congress, and set the stage for an intense debate about the future direction of both parties heading into 2028.  The takeaway is that Musk made one of the largest political investments of the 2026 election cycle, spending more than $440 million to help Republicans. Democrats nevertheless delivered a sweeping victory, including major wins in Texas, leaving Musk to navigate a Washington where his political opponents now hold significantly more power.  Analysis portray the Republican media ecosystem struggling to explain a historic midterm defeat. While Trump directed blame toward Fox News, many conservative commentators pointed instead to inflation, high gas prices, unpopular candidates, and the Iran conflict. The result, according to CNN, exposed growing tension inside the broader MAGA movement over who or what is responsible for the GOP's losses.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

Ray Appleton is joined by John Broeske, John Gerardi, Blake Taylor and special guest analyst former Sec. of State Bill Jones to break down the 2026 mid-term election results

California voters are deciding on 14 statewide propositions during the 2026 general election. Voting is underway across the state, and polls close at 8 p.m. on Tuesday.  The Washington Post reports that Election Day security concerns are focused on three areas: federal election monitors, fears about immigration enforcement near polling sites, and disputes over alleged noncitizen voting. Officials say polling places are expected to operate normally, with federal monitors observing but not policing the voting process.  President Trump says the U.S. will stop providing roughly $4 billion a year in aid to Israel by the end of 2026, arguing that Israel can now afford to purchase American weapons without direct assistance. While Trump says he and Benjamin Netanyahu agree on the move, details about how it would affect the current U.S.-Israel aid agreement have not yet been announced. 

Judge Zia Faruqui dismissed charges against former FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, ruling that prosecutors failed to show they intentionally lied to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigation. In a highly unusual rebuke, the judge also accused the DOJ of pursuing a politically motivated case and questioned the timing of the prosecution just before the midterm elections.  The poll suggests widespread frustration within the military community. Nearly four in five respondents said veterans and service members are being left behind, while many active-duty troops reported concerns about politicization, leadership, housing, and other quality-of-life issues that could affect military retention and readiness.

The dispute highlights a growing national debate over AI in eduction. Google says AI is becoming an inseparable part of Search and learning tools, while critics argue schools should be able to use Search without being pushed toward AI adoption. The outcome could affect millions of students who rely on Google products every day.  Sherrill is warning New Jersey ports not to accept Russian diesel, arguing that such imports remain illegal under federal law. The Trump administration disagrees, saying a Treasury authorization permits the shipments and could help reduce fuel prices. The dispute is setting up a potentially significant legal battle over sanctions, presidential authority, and energy policy.

A school-generated image of Harper Anderson as an adult nurse prompted questions about privacy, consent, and the growing presence of artificial intelligence in classrooms, issues many school districts are only beginning to address.  Judge Zia Faruqui dismissed charges against former FBI officials Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, ruling that prosecutors failed to show they intentionally lied to Congress about the Hunter Biden investigation.

Fresno County voters should expect to see noticeably more election observers than in a typical election. Officials say competitive congressional races, national attention on election integrity, and Fresno County's importance in the battle for House control are driving the increased monitoring effort.  The fight over California's alleged noncitizen-voter list has expanded beyond election administration into a courtroom battle over data access and court orders. The DOJ maintains its list is accurate and says the group's analysis violated a judge's restrictions, while the plaintiffs argue they followed the court's instructions and that their review uncovered significant flaws in the government's data.  Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: ---     Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts.  -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ  | Website  | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram

The biggest takeaway from the record early voting isn't which party is winning. It's that Americans are turning out in unusually large numbers before Election Day. With more than 54 million ballots already cast, voter enthusiasm appears significantly higher than in a typical midterm election, signaling that many voters view the 2026 races as highly consequential.  Instead of naming a school after a politician or prominent donor, the Aubrey Independent School District chose a custodian whose kindness and dedication left a lasting mark on generations of students.
