With the midterm election only days away, it's worth taking a look at what is going on around the web. Democrats have gone from prematurely wallowing in their early-projected blue wave victories to setting up talking points that explain away a less than "wave" showing in Tuesday's midterm.

Late Thursday afternoon Trump gave a speech and then answered questions from the press about policy regarding the caravan of illegal immigrants headed towards the U.S. I listened to it at the time, and here's the text of his remarks.
