The Three “I”s–ICE, Inflation, Iran–Key Campaign Issues For Midterm Elections Of 2026!

With six months to the Midterm Elections of 2026, it is clear that Democrats have key campaign issues to emphasize, and they all begin with the letter “I”.

The outrageous abuses of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), including the death of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, but also many other abuses, and denial of basic human rights to people of color and even legal immigrants, is an issue that will not be diminished.

Inflation, the outrageous growth of the cost of living, most notably in gasoline and food prices, but also across the board in the economy, is undermining the ability of tens of millions of Americans to cope with the stresses of daily living, and denial by Trump and Republicans, or ridiculously blaming it on Joe Biden, will not make the issue go away.

The Iran War, and the undermining of international stability by Trump, starting a war that has no real end, and which threatens the Middle East and NATO long term, is an albatross around the neck of Donald Trump and Republicans, and will cost massive economic harm long term.

Additionally, the totally unhinged behavior of Donald Trump, his authoritarian attack on American democracy and the rule of law, and his outrageous attention to glorifying his own name and legacy, is an alarm bell in the night, and demands ability of a Democratic Congress to rein in his dictatorial bent.

    Check out the video of SNL’s “cold open” last night, in which “Brett Kavanaugh (Matt Damon), Pete Hegseth (Colin Jost) and Kash Patel (Aziz Ansari) discuss current events over drinks at a bar.”

    Lake is an insane person and shouldn’t be an ambassador anywhere. We are truly living in a bizarre, FUBAR timeline.

    He’s an unmitigated DISASTER.

    This clown was Youngkin’s top health advisor. ‘Nuff said.

    Really dumb idea; will barely impact gas prices, doesn’t address the root causes of the problem, and defunds crucial repairs/maintenance for highways, bridges, etc.

    That’s totally f’ed up; we don’t need new battleships, as that is NOT where warfare is headed at all.

  7. Rustbelt Democrat May 12, 2026 10:15 am

    That’s REALLY f’ed up.

    I often wonder that myself.

    Cameron Hamilton is a right winger who ran for Congress in VA07 in 2024 and lost the Republican primary to Derrick Anderson, who then lost to Rep. Eugene Vindman by about 2 1/2 points.

    Well that would totally do the trick! LOL

  11. Rustbelt Democrat May 13, 2026 9:45 am

    Beyond moronic. Also super corrupt.

  12. Princess Leia May 13, 2026 9:46 am

    Trump really wants to bankrupt and destroy America.

  13. Rustbelt Democrat May 13, 2026 9:56 am

    That’s BULLSH*T!

  14. Rustbelt Democrat May 13, 2026 9:59 am

    Absolutely outrageous; no FBI agent or employee should have agreed to participate in this!

  15. Rustbelt Democrat May 13, 2026 10:01 am

    Again, no FBI employee should participate in this!

  16. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:14 am

    And John Fetterman voted to continue the war. Ugh!

  17. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:18 am

    Anyone involved in that raid should face criminal prosecutions as well.

  18. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:22 am

    F*** RFK Jr.

  19. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:27 am

    That’s beyond unacceptable – wildly criminal!

  20. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:29 am

    That definitely won’t be corrupt, right? LOL

  21. Rustbelt Democrat May 14, 2026 10:37 am

    Ron Paul was batsh*t crazy – conspiracy theorist, anti-Semite, etc. – Rand Paul is batsh*t crazy, and William Paul is batsh*t crazy. Sensing a pattern here?

    That’s disgraceful! The Pearl Harbor memorial is hallowed ground!
