Federal prosecutors reportedly indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Friday after a months-long investigation into potential mortgage fraud. Lindsey Halligan, Trump’s former personal lawyer who the president installed as the interim U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia last month, presented the case for the indictment to the grand jury, according to The Wall Street Journal. The Justice Department has investigated James since May over a mortgage she took out in 2023. The indictment against James accused her of bank fraud, according to WSJ. In a statement on Thursday, James said that the charges against her are a result of the “weaponization” of a justice system directed at her “all because I did my job as New York state attorney general.” “These charges are baseless, and the president’s own public statements make clear that his only goal is political retribution at any cost,” said James. To ascend to the office of state attorney general, James campaigned on investigating and prosecuting Trump. She won a civil penalty against the president of $450 million. In the case, James accused Trump of inflating his worth to defraud lenders, though no lenders had claimed that they were defrauded. The investigation into James stemmed from an April referral to the Department of Justice made by Federal housing regulator Bill Pulte, who said James “falsified records” to get more favorable loan terms on a Virginia property. “Based on media reports, Ms. Letitia James has, in multiple instances, falsified bank documents and property records to acquire government backed assistance and loans and more favorable loan terms. This has potentially included 1) falsifying residence status for a Norfolk, Virginia-based home in order to secure a lower mortgage rate and 2) misrepresenting property descriptions to meet stringent requirements for government backed loans and government assistance,” said Pulte’s letter.

Since 1969, Long John Silver’s has been serving up delicious fish, shrimp, and all the fixings. But you might not know that the brand also makes fantastic fried chicken. We’ve seen a lot of rebranding attempts recently, most famously Cracker Barrel’s flop, but Long John Silver’s plans to spruce up its logo and give true fans what they love—chicken. “Guests have been telling us for years that our chicken is a best-kept secret,” Christopher Caudill, Long John Silver’s senior vice president of marketing and innovation, shared in a news release. “Our hand-battered chicken strips—known as Chicken Planks®—are every bit as crave-worthy as our legendary fish. It’s time we let that secret out.” @longjohnsilvers Proof that even pirates put down their treasure maps when golden chicken’s on deck. #LongJohnSilvers #fyp #foryoupage #october #octobermood ♬ Confidence (sped up version) – Ocean Alley We Didn’t Even Know Long John Silver’s Had Fish Long John Silver’s has successfully tested several chicken recipes at its new flagship location in Louisville, Kentucky, and the results are a hit with customers. Those who didn’t know about the brand’s chicken can’t get enough. “This brand was built on making the coastal experience accessible to everyone, so seafood will always be part of our DNA,” Caudill explained. “But chicken is also part of our heritage—and a big part of our future—so it deserves its rightful place on our logo, our menu, and our guests’ tables.” Don’t worry, the famous fish isn’t going anywhere. Fans can still get the hand-battered shrimp and wild-caught Alaskan fish they crave. The restaurant’s sudden shift shocked some people on social media. “Not sure what to make of this. Anyway Long John Silver’s is putting a chicken on its logo to highlight its chicken offerings. Not sure if this is a permanent change or just some marketing gimmick. But it’s tough to be a seafood chain so you get things like this,” someone wrote on X. “Long John Silver’s rebrand puts chicken front and center. After decades selling fish that tasted like chicken, they finally gave in… chicken of the sea, literally,” another person shared on X. Chicken is hot right now, just ask Taco Bell, which recently added more chicken to its menu. This is going to be one to watch. We hope it works out better for them than it did for old Uncle Herschel.

A federal grand jury indicted Letitia James on Thursday. The indictment was obtained by Interim U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Lindsey Halligan. President Donald Trump appointed Halligan in September after Erik Siebert, under pressure from Trump to bring charges, resigned. Former FBI Director James Comey was indicted two weeks ago in the same district. He […]

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—The media “grossly” misrepresented Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s exhortation to air traffic controllers, a DOT spokesperson told The Daily Signal. Politico published a story Thursday headlined “Duffy hints at firing air traffic controller ‘problem children’ amid continuing delays.” The piece was based on Duffy’s Thursday morning Fox Business interview, in which he said, “If we have some on our staff that aren’t dedicated, we’re going to let them go. Again, I can’t have people not showing up to work.” The piece “grossly took the secretary’s remarks out of context,” a Transportation Department spokesperson told The Daily Signal. “As the secretary has repeatedly said, the vast majority of our air traffic controllers are patriots who show up each and every day to keep American families safe in our skies, but if there are rare bad actors that don’t show up purposefully and cause disruptions to our operations, consequences are inevitable,” the spokesperson said.

(Brendan Smialowksi/AFP via Getty Images) “Secretary Duffy’s impressive agenda to supercharge air traffic controller hiring remains a top priority for the department,” the spokesperson continued. “Just last month, the department announced surpassing its fiscal year hiring goals, and we’re just getting started.” The National Air Traffic Controllers Association sent an email to ATCs, obtained by The Daily Signal, emphasizing that not showing up to work can lead to removal from service. “It is not only illegal, but it also undermines NATCA’s credibility and severely weakens our ability to effectively advocate for you and your families,” the union wrote. “As you are aware, right now, federal employees are under heightened scrutiny, and as the shutdown continues, all eyes are on us,” the email continued. “We cannot overstate that it is essential to avoid any action that could reflect poorly on you, our union, or our professions.” Air traffic controllers started working without pay on Monday. Since then, the FAA has reported delays from a lack of controllers have also been reported at airports in Boston; Burbank, California; Chicago; Denver; Houston; Las Vegas; Nashville, Tennessee; Philadelphia; and Phoenix.

The 2026 elections are 13 months away, and they’ll especially matter in Ohio. Not only will redistricting play a role, but there’s also the gubernatorial race, with Vivek Ramaswamy likely replacing term-limited Gov. Mike DeWine, a fellow Republican. As has been the case for the past few election cycles, Ohio is a state to watch, and 2026 is no exception. Ohio came up during Wednesday’s episode of “The Tony Kinnett Cast.” Former Rep. David McIntosh, the co-founder of The Club for Growth came on to discuss “a midterm blitz” and redistricting. In Ohio, there’s a predicted pick-up of at least two seats. From Redistricting… McIntosh emphasized a key point, one Vice President JD Vance made about redistricting. “It’s key that we win these redistricting battles in the state level. The House is very closely divided,” McIntosh reminded. “The goal here is to add anywhere from five to 10 Republican seats by matching what the Democrat have done for the past decade, and then conservatives and Republicans will be represented in Congress,” he added. As Kinnett put it, Ohio is “turning out to be way more important for ’26 than anyone thought.” Not only is redistricting mandated in Ohio, but some of the closest House races could be there. The two likely pickups are the seats held by Democrat Reps. Marcy Kaptur of the 9th Congressional District and Emilia Sykes of the 13th Congressional District. Democratic Rep. Greg Landsman of the 1st Congressional District could be a third. All have been targeted by the National Republican Congressional Committee. McIntosh called to mind that there are really only 25-30 “battleground seats,” a category Kaptur and Sykes could certainly fall into. Those 25-30 races further benefit Republicans as “there are more Democrats sitting in a Trump district than Republicans representing a Kamala Harris district,” McIntosh explained. President Donald Trump won the 9th Congressional District and came close in the 13th Congressional District. McIntosh later spoke about the search for the ideal candidates, emphasizing the importance of those who are “committed to free markets, limited government, lower taxes, [and] who’s going to support President Trump on that economic agenda,” as well as campaign strategy. McIntosh also referenced the endorsement of Trump, which “is going to tell voters in Ohio, ‘We need you back again, you can’t just vote every four years. This is almost like a referendum on President Trump, get out and vote.'” As Kinnett reminded, “Ohio has gone more red in the presidential [races] over the last couple of elections.” Trump won the Buckeye State in 2016, 2020, and 2024, after former President Barack Obama won in 2008 and 2012. Speaking further about the “intensity” of such congressional races, Kinnett predicted that “this could be a big turning point, a big swivel point for the state of Ohio, for the next 10-20 years,” with McIntosh concurring. …to Beyond McIntosh and Kinnett brought up Ramaswamy with what McIntosh is “seeing on the ground” in Ohio. Ramaswamy “is exciting Republicans and independents all over the state with his vision for the state,” McIntosh pointed out. The U.S. Senate race also came up. Republican Sen. Jon Husted, who was appointed to fill Vance’s seat is likely to face former Democrat Sen. Sherrod Brown, who lost last year to now Sen. Bernie Moreno. “He’s sounded like one of them but he went back to Washington and just voted with these far-left crazies,” McIntosh said with regards to how Brown is “still trying.” Husted drew a contrast between himself and Brown when speaking to The Daily Signal, framing it as a “D.C. guy versus Ohio guy” race. In between his appearances throughout Ohio, Ramaswamy took part in the Turning Point USA tour, speaking at Montana State University on Tuesday. While there, he spoke about the assassination of TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk. Day trip to Montana for a blowout TPUSA event last night, back to Ohio at 2:30am. Started today in Franklin County, 2 events now in Belmont County, another in Carroll County, then another in Harrison County, and hopefully back home to Columbus in time for bedtime with the kiddos.— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) October 8, 2025 During his 20-minute speech, Ramaswamy showed himself to be a charismatic figure, one who likely represents the future of Ohio and the conservative movement. He further demonstrated he is not only unifying the Ohio Republican Party, but that he is a young politician to be on the lookout for.   The theme of his speech was “a fork in the road for the future of the conservative movement” as well as the importance of American “identity.” Towards the end of his speech, Ramaswamy referenced his run for governor and the restoration of the American dream. “That is up to us to deliver to you,” Ramaswamy told the crowd. “And if we fail now, we’ve got nobody left to blame but ourselves. I say that as somebody who is running for governor of my own home state of Ohio, next year. That is the standard I want you to hold me to. We expect that,” he said. “That’s on us. But in the meantime, don’t be cynical about our country, because it’s still the last best hope that we have on planet Earth.” Took a break, for just one night, to talk about the nation. My full speech at Turning Point in Montana, unfiltered. pic.twitter.com/HnbVhWJj52— Vivek Ramaswamy (@VivekGRamaswamy) October 8, 2025 The State of the Race(s) Kaptur and Sykes are in “Toss-Up” races, while Landsman’s is regarded as “Lean Democratic” or “Likely Democratic.” Days after Brown announced in August, an Emerson College poll showed Husted leading Brown. Ramaswamy led Democrat Amy Acton, who has declared, as well as former Rep. Tim Ryan, who has not declared, though there’s chatter he’ll run. Both races “Lean Republican.” Time will tell, not only when it comes to the effect the redistricting process will have, but how Trump’s second term and the state of affairs in Ohio, the country, and around the world will affect these races.
