Polling firm Cygnal released a new survey on Wednesday showing broad support for voter identification requirements, including a majority backing among black, Hispanic, and white voters. The poll found that 72% of white voters, 69% of Hispanic voters, and 56% of black voters support requiring identification at the polls.   “Hakeem Jeffries seems to think voter ID is voter suppression, but when you actually ask voters, 70% of American voters overall, 75% of swing voters support voter ID,” said pollster and Senior Partner John Rogers. He added that Republicans view the issue as politically advantageous heading into the midterms. “It shows Republicans have another winning issue heading into the midterms if they lean into it with confidence.” Jeffries has opposed the SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of citizenship to register for federal elections, arguing that the GOP is attempting to discourage voter participation. “What Republicans are trying to do is to engage in clear and blatant voter suppression,” said Jeffries. “They know that if there’s a free and fair election in November, they’re going to lose.” The House passed a version of the bill in the fall, which is now under consideration in the Senate. The Cygnal poll was conducted from February 3-4 among 1,500 likely 2026 midterm voters and has a margin of error of 2.51%. It found 70% support for requiring voter ID for federal elections, compared with 26% opposed. Support was strongest among Republicans at 92%, while 46% of Democrats said they favor voter ID requirements. Cygnal’s findings align with other national surveys. A Gallup poll conducted last fall found that 84% of Americans favor voter ID requirements, while the Pew Research Center reported almost identical findings, with 83% support. The SAVE Act would mandate that states obtain documentary proof of American citizenship before registering to vote in federal elections and would require the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls.  In order for the SAVE Act to pass the Senate, a simple majority of fifty-one votes is required. However, the bill would need 60 votes to overcome a potential filibuster. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has expressed support for voter ID requirements but acknowledged the measure might lack the votes to advance. “How we get to that vote remains to be seen,” he said. 

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) has escalated her rhetorical war with President Donald Trump to a new level, labeling him a “pedophile” and suggesting that the United States should follow Somalia’s lead and  “pedophiles.” On social media, she referred to Trump as the “leader of the Pedophile Protection Party,” attempting to link him to the Jeffrey Epstein files. She then issued a chilling comparison: “At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them.” The implication—that a sitting U.S. president deserves the death penalty—is the latest  from the radical “Squad” member, who once equated the United States and Israel with the Taliban terrorist group. The firestorm erupted after Trump turned his sights on the massive fraud scandals currently rocking Minnesota. Speaking during the week of February 9, the president estimated that at least $19 billion has been drained through medical and state assistance fraud, much of it allegedly tied to figures within the Somali community. “Somalia has come in here—what they’ve done to our country, these people,” Trump stated, specifically targeting Omar. “They’ve come into our country, and what they’ve done with that fake congresswoman. She’s so bad.” The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files. At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them. https://t.co/xC3Ype3zXI — Ilhan Omar (@IlhanMN) February 10, 2026 This verbal cage match comes as the Department of Justice and the House Oversight Committee intensify their scrutiny of Omar’s sudden and massive wealth accumulation. While Omar claimed years ago she was essentially “worth nothing,” recent financial disclosures tell a different story. Her husband, Tim Mynett, has seen the value of his business interests, including a California winery and a capital firm, skyrocket by thousands of percentage points. Estimates now place Omar’s potential net worth north of $44 million. House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has pledged to dig into these “3,500% gains,” though Omar dismisses the inquiry as a “right-wing disinformation campaign.” Last June, Omar said that the United States was becoming “one of the worst countries” in the world after President Trump and Republican governors deployed the National Guard to quell anti-ICE riots. For a woman who fled anarchy in Somalia, her preference for Somali-style “justice” over the American electoral process suggests her appreciation for her adopted home remains as thin as her financial explanations.

The National Republican Campaign Committee will host President Donald Trump for the second consecutive year at its presidential dinner fundraiser on March 25, underscoring an extremely competitive midterm election cycle. In a video first shared with The Daily Wire, the dinner is expected to honor the president as he begins the second year of his second term. “Republicans will fight for every state, every seat, and every single vote. We’re going to fight like hell, and we’re going to win, win, win like we’ve never won before,” Trump said in his address from last year, which is shown in the video. The spot highlighted various GOP incumbents in key races, including Reps. Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), and Jen Kiggans (R-VA). The NRCC’s role is to focus on target races for Republicans to either flip or retain – a large undertaking with the GOP’s razor-thin House majority. At last year’s presidential dinner, the organization raised a “record-shattering” $35.2 million. The group slightly outraised its Democratic counterpart, the DCCC, by more than $2 million in 2025, according to Newsmax. “House Republicans are proud to have the unwavering support of President Donald J. Trump as we march toward November with undeniable momentum,” NRCC Chairman Richard Hudson said. “Across the country, Americans are energized to grow our House majority and keep delivering on President Trump’s America First agenda.” Trump is expected to hit the campaign trail this year seeking to maintain or grow his majorities to keep his agenda alive. Most notably, Congress passed the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” last July, which addressed several of the administration’s goals, including tax cuts and immigration, and will likely be debated in congressional districts nationwide as November approaches. “I’m gonna do a lot of campaign traveling,” Trump said in January, according to Fox News. “We’re going to work hard.” In his official capacity, the president has delivered several recent economic speeches in states with swing districts, including Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Iowa, as affordability is expected to be a top issue in the general election. On the Senate side, where Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority, the Cook Political Report rates four races as “toss-ups” in Maine, Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina. On Wednesday morning, the committee sent an email blasting Republicans in various target races after a failed House vote to block resolutions against the administration’s tariffs. The DCCC claimed GOP lawmakers “voted to shield Donald Trump from Congressional oversight on his sweeping, reckless tariffs that are raising costs.” The Daily Wire reached out to the DCCC for comment.

Sometimes here on Earth, we take for granted what’s happening light-years away in space. We wake up every morning and go to sleep at night, without thinking about what we can’t see. Yet the Earth never really sleeps; it keeps spinning. Sometimes, satellites take incredible video. We can simply bask in the wonder of a world we don’t typically have a chance to see. The Earth’s Aura is truly stunning. ABC News recently shared footage from the International Space Station that’s truly incredible. “A stunning green aurora was seen rippling and pulsating from the International Space Station.‘The thin orange glow marks the edge of our atmosphere — a reminder that Earth is alive, protected, and glowing,’ NASA said,” according to the video’s caption. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ABC News (@abcnews) The Earth‘s Aura Looks Positively Beautiful Although this is a version of Earth we rarely see, we easily become entranced by its beauty. We’re used to seeing trees, grass, and water in our everyday lives. Seeing our world from a different point of view gives a whole new appreciation for how systems work together. The video and music produce a truly stunning view of Earth. Followers loved what they saw. “Earth is alive…protected…and glowing,” someone wrote. “Look how beautiful,” another person shared. This view of the Earth was a bit too much for some people who prefer to watch things from the ground. “The Aurora creates depth which is so unsettling I can’t look at that my god,” someone wrote. We love seeing Earth’s Aura from different points of view and marveling at creation. It takes so much for us all to exist. Just knowing that we’re a part of something so magnificent is truly humbling. We’re grateful for the chance to see our world anew. It helps us recognize how small we are in the grand scheme of things. This story’s featured image can be found here.
