The Washington Examiner reports: Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is reportedly planning to switch tickets and run as an independent in the 2024 election. A campaign staffer told Mediaite that Kennedy's campaign will announce his party affiliation switch on Oct. 9 in Pennsylvania. Kennedy's team will begin launching "attack ads" against the Democratic National Committee ahead of his announcement, escalating the fight between the candidate and the organization. “Bobby feels that the DNC is changing the rules to exclude his candidacy so an independent run is the only way to go,” the Kennedy campaign insider told Mediaite. When reached for comment, Kennedy's campaign pointed to a video released on Friday that announced his Philadelphia rally next month. Read the full article here.

Bezinga reports: Housing affordability has been a pressing issue in America. While many people point to supply shortages, rising material costs and stagnant wages as drivers behind the crisis, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. believes there's another culprit — corporations. "The real reason that housing has outpaced anything else is because there are three giant corporations: BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street," Kennedy said at a recent event in Los Angeles. He said that these three companies already own 88% of the S&P 500, and now they are coming after single-family homes in America. Read the full article here.

The Messenger reports: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is teasing a possible independent run in 2024. Appearing on the "This Past Weekend" podcast with comedian Theo Vonn, Kennedy Jr. accused the Democratic National Committee (DNC) of rigging the primary process in favor of incumbent President Joe Biden. Kennedy Jr. said he can beat Biden is the DNC gives him a "fair fight." "It's like if you went to a football game and the referee in the game was wearing the same uniform as the guys you are playing against," Kennedy Jr. said. Asked by Vonn if a third party run could be in the cards considering he feels the primary process is rigged, Kennedy Jr. was open to the idea. "If they really shut down the process — we're right now, we're grappling with the DNC, trying to get them to do the right thing, but if they rig the process so that I can't possibly win, which is how it's rigged right now, then I would have to look at other options," he said. "I would have to look at running outside the party." Read the full article here. If you resonate with this message please subscribe to our newsletter to learn more.

Fox News reports: 2024 Democratic Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. took direct aim at President Joe Biden’s immigration policies in a new op-ed, calling them a disaster. Writing in Newsweek, Kennedy ripped the Biden administration for "refusing to secure our southern border" which has led to "endless floods of migrants pouring through an open border" and "impossible burdens" for American cities. Kennedy, Jr. laid this situation at the feet of President Biden, writing, "Clearly, the migrant crisis resulting from the Biden administration's refusal to secure our southern border has created impossible burdens for municipalities across the country." "The idea of sanctuary cities was to protect immigrants from ICE raids. But no city can manage endless floods of migrants pouring through an open border," he declared. In a parting shot to the current administration, he concluded, "Current policies are failing our country and putting an intolerable strain on American cities that have already faced unprecedented challenges in the last three years. We desperately need a different approach." The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  Read the full article here.

Newsweek reports: "We are about to experience a financial tsunami that I don't think the city has ever experienced," warned New York City Mayor Eric Adams at a recent meeting about the city's migrant crisis. "Every service in this city is going to be impacted, from child services to our seniors, to housing." According to Adams, the status quo of 110,000 migrant arrivals in just the last year is utterly unsustainable and threatens to "destroy the city." To address the financial impact of the crisis, which he estimates could cost $12 billion by 2025, he directed city agencies to cut 5 percent from spending by November. New York is hardly alone. Cities across the U.S. are experiencing crises in social services and severe budget shortfalls because of the unprecedented migrant influx. Chicago is facing a $538 million budget shortfall for 2024 with more than a third of that shortfall resulting from the migrant crisis, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. And according to Axios, the city of Denver is in the midst of a budget crisis after spending more than $23 million to provide services to migrants since December, with costs of up to $1,000 per migrant per week. Clearly, the migrant crisis resulting from the Biden administration's refusal to secure our southern border has created impossible burdens for municipalities across the country. The idea of sanctuary cities was to protect immigrants from ICE raids. But no city can manage endless floods of migrants pouring through an open border. I'm actually in favor of immigration—legal immigration. High fences, wide gates. Politicians in the past have appealed to xenophobia and bigotry in calling for a tough border policy. My call for a tough border comes from a different place. It comes from compassion and humanitarian conscience. I call upon all Americans, of every party and political persuasion, to face facts. President Biden's loose border policy has been a disaster. Under Biden, it's easier for migrants to enter illegally than legally. His policy is tantamount to "narrow gate, no fence."

Newsweek reports: According to the Rasmussen Report survey, 41 percent of Democrats have an at least somewhat favorable view of Kennedy along with 56 percent of Republicans and 49 percent of those without party affiliation. In total 49 percent of likely voters view Kennedy favorably, including 14 percent for very favorably.   Speaking to Newsweek a Kennedy campaign spokesperson said: "The fact that President Biden is so unpopular that fully a third of Democrats would vote for an independent candidate in the general election underscores the importance of running a fair and competitive primary election. If the DNC [Democratic National Convention] fails to do that, it will likely be saddled with a weak candidate who lacks the popular appeal to defeat the Republicans—whether or not there is a strong third party candidate in the race."

The West View News reports: Grassroots activists get ready down the highway for RFK, Jr.'s "I Stand With Bobby Kennedy" kickoff campaign. And I'm one of them. Why you ask?  Some movers, shakers, and global thought leaders in the West Village are getting ready to mobilize for what they call the "I Stand With Bobby," a grass roots campaign to educate people on the Presidential Campaign Platform of RFK, Jr. The mainstream news isn't acknowledging Kennedy's play for the White House nor is the mainstream media covering the Kennedy campaign while spin doctors continually attempt to reduce the vaccinated Kennedy to an anti-vaxxer for daring to question the childhood vaccine schedule and the dangerously toxic contents of the vaccines that include adjuvents like mercury and aluminum. The science is actually never settled despite what the big pharmaceutical giants would like you to believe. Read the full article opinion piece here.

The Hollywood Reporter reports: Eric Clapton performed at a fundraiser for presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. at a private estate in Brentwood near Los Angeles. The event raised $2.2 million for Kennedy: $1 million for the campaign and $1.2 million for a PAC supporting the candidate. “I am deeply grateful to Eric Clapton for bringing his musical artistry and rebellious spirit to my gathering in Los Angeles last night,” Kennedy said in a statement. “I sometimes think that in our divided society, it is music rather than any kind of intellectual agreement that has the most potential to bring us together again.” The presidential candidate continued, “Eric sings from the depths of the human condition. If he sees in me the possibility of bringing unity to our country, it is only possible because artists like him invoke a buried faith in the limitless power of human beings to overcome any obstacle.” Clapton joins a growing list of celebrities who have spoken out in support of Kennedy, including the candidate’s wife, Cheryl Hines, Rob Schneider, and Alicia Silverstone.

The Hill reports: Last week, Kennedy himself called out the Democratic National Committee for “rigging” the primaries against him to benefit Biden. Said Kennedy, in part: “It’s pretty clear that the DNC does not want a primary … Essentially, they are fixing the process so that it makes it almost impossible to have democracy function. They’re effectively disenfranchising the Democratic voters from having any choice in who becomes president, the Democrat nominee.” Kennedy next shook the pillars of the Democratic power base by hinting at something that could alter the outcome of the 2024 election. Said RFK Jr., in part: “If the DNC is going to rig it so that it is simply impossible for anybody to challenge President Biden, you know I need to look at other alternatives. Because I can’t go back to the people who support me and to my donors and say you know I’m in this to make a point. I need to show them a road to victory …” “Other alternatives.” Boom goes the political dynamite.  Read the full article here.

The Hill reports: Global expansion of plastic production, especially with single-use plastics, has created a crisis for human health and the environment. President Biden has failed to confront the problem. He has focused on false environmental solutions that waste billions of taxpayer dollars, as plastic pollution rapidly gets worse. Plastic waste is so ubiquitous that it has entered the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even our blood. Some of the toxic chemicals used in everyday items such as plastic packaging can cause cancer and birth defects. Our oceans, lakes, and rivers are now burdened with more than 200 million tons of plastic pollution. According to current estimates, some 11 million tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans every year. As a result, the oceans are now filled with 170 trillion pieces of plastic. That’s 21,000 tiny microplastic pieces for every person on Earth. Worse, that amount is doubling approximately every six years. We can turn it around though. There are sensible ways to manage plastic production, replace single-use plastic items with more sustainable alternatives, and overhaul our waste and recycling infrastructure. Single-use plastics are typically used for only a few minutes but leave us with waste that lasts hundreds of years. I have a ten-point plan to fix the problem. Read the full op-ed by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. here. If you resonate with this message please subscribe to our newsletter to learn more.

NHJournal reports: The “No B.S. BBQ” hosted by former GOP U.S. Senator Scott Brown and his wife Gail Huff Brown — a Republican candidate for Congress in 2022– has emerged as a must-stop for GOP presidential candidates in New Hampshire. Nearly every Republican in the race has made an appearance this cycle, and former President Donald Trump is rumored to be planning a stop as well. But according to Brown, the biggest crowd he’s had this year came to see a Democrat: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. More than 500 people came to see Vivek Ramaswamy at the Rye, N.H. event last month, the largest crowd to date, Brown told NHJournal. But the RFK, Jr. crowd was more than twice that size. “This is an amazing crowd. I’ve never had a crowd like this ever, so congratulations,” Brown told Kennedy as the crowd cheered. Brown put the attendance at around 1,200 or so, but he said local police estimated it was closer to 2,000. The populist Democrat rejected claims from the Biden administration that “Bidenomics” has created a prosperous economy, noting that America’s poverty rate recently spiked. It was a reference to a new report from the U.S. Census Bureau that the percentage of Americans living in poverty jumped from 7.8 percent in 2021 to 12.4 percent last year. “I’m running against two presidents who both are claiming they brought prosperity to America. But when I say to people, ‘Are you experiencing prosperity?’ they feel like they’re being gaslighted.” Read the full article here.
