October 30, 2026, 5pm; Donald Trump and his allies canceled campaign rallies in Kansas and Iowa only to reverse course within a day. The reasons for the reversal -- and the reversal of the reversal -- aren't entirely clear, but all the same, the switch-up didn't go unnoticed or uncriticized. It also is not clear whether Republican candidates in those states want him there, anyway.

October 23, 2026; 4pm: Trump's DOJ filed a preemptive lawsuit against Alaska, seeking to block the senate election results if anyone other than the Republican incumbent, Sen. Dan Sullivan, wins. The reason? There is an unaffiliated candidate, Daniel J. Sullivan, who is also on the ballot.

This suit comes as polls place the democratic candidate, Mary Peltola, higher.

In a statement, the Justice Department told the Times that Mildon didn't speak to anyone about a pardon, and a White House official said Mildon had nothing to do with the Herrera pardon. But there's no doubt, it fits into a much larger, more troubling pattern.
