Dear Reader, As you can imagine, more people are reading The Jerusalem Post than ever before. Nevertheless, traditional business models are no longer sustainable and high-quality publications, like ours, are being forced to look for new ways to keep going.
A report prepared for the Senate that provides the most sweeping analysis yet of Russia's disinformation campaign around the 2016 election found the operation used every major social media platform to deliver words, images and videos tailored to voters' interests to help elect President Donald Trump - and worked even harder to support him while in office. The report, a draft of which was obtained by the Washington Post, is the first to study the millions of posts provided by major technology firms to the Senate Intelligence Committee, led by Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., its chairman, and Mark Warner of Virginia, its ranking Democrat.
Senator Susan Collins of Maine said Sunday she welcomes potential Republican primary challengers to President Trump while also declining to endorse the president's 2020 reelection bid.

Democratic and moderate Republicans lawmakers worked together last year to try to make Kansas the latest state to expand Medicaid, only to see their bipartisan effort rewarded with a veto from former conservative GOP Gov. Sam Brownback. The election this month of a governor who supports Medicaid expansion seemed to remove the biggest hurdle for those hoping to bring health coverage to thousands of the state's poor.

In this Thursday, Oct. 4, 2018, photo, staff members for the Yes on I-1639 campaign, a gun safety initiative, prepare campaign materials at their headquarters in Seattle. Voters will decide the fate of I-1639, which would toughen background checks for people buying semi-automatic rifles, increase the age limit to 21 for buyers of those guns and require secured firearm storage in the Nov. 6, election.
Since launching his bid for U.S. Senate last year, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke has painted Republican incumbent Ted Cruz as a senator whose national ambitions havedistracted him from his Texas duties. Cruz has questioned what accomplishments the congressman from El Paso has to his name.

Democrat Xochitl Torres Small is running for New Mexico's 2nd Congressional district -- long considered a Republican stronghold -- yet the race is garnering national attention because of the razor-thin margin in polling data.

I've been arguing for months that the ideal outcome in the midterm elections to set up Donald Trump for a landslide re-election in 2020 is for Republicans to hold the Senate and narrowly lose the House. Mr. Trump is best when he has a foil to run against - and who better than the least popular politician in America, Nancy Pelosi.

This is not the week that Democrats were expecting to have. Right on the heels of their epic blunder in trying to stop Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court, they and their mainstream media mouthpieces clearly thought that Senator Elizabeth Warren's campaign to reembrace the "one-drop rule" and thereby "prove" her Native American claims would be a brilliant turn of fortune for the party.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster and the state's congressional delegation urged President Donald Trump on Thursday to reconsider his administration's plan to shut down a half-built nuclear fuel facility in their state.
