Breaking Points: Midterm Mayhem, Oil Market Strain, and a Pentagon Doomsday Prep

On this episode of Breaking Points, Krystal and Saagar covered a sprawling set of developments with one dominant theme: the Trump administration is in deep political trouble, and the warning signs are flashing across multiple fronts — from cataclysmic early voting data to surging gas prices, an Israeli political crisis, and a Pentagon preparing for the worst.

Early Vote Data Points to a Democratic Landslide

The early voting numbers are, in Saagar's words, "absolutely cataclysmic for Republicans." Data Republican, a well-respected GOP number cruncher who worked for the Pentagon under Pete Hegseth, posted that she could not be "too blunt" about what she was seeing on X because it would hurt morale. She warned followers to "brace yourself on election night. Even Texas is going to be a fight."
