Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) urged Kansans who voted for President Donald Trump to turn out in the Senate election, arguing that border security, lower taxes, and military funding were at stake in his race against Democrat Adam Hamilton.

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., and Democratic challenger Adam Hamilton repeatedly sought to distance themselves from the most unpopular elements of their respective parties Wednesday night during a contentious Kansas Senate debate.

Both candidates battled over President Donald Trump, immigration, the war in Iran and more in a race that could help determine control of the Senate.

The debate opened on a personal note, with both candidates pressed over controversies that have fueled attack ads in the closing weeks of the campaign.

Marshall was questioned about a New York Times review that found his former medical practice sued more than 700 patients over unpaid bills. The Republican defended the practice while emphasizing the millions of dollars in free care his practice provided.

GOP SENATOR ALLEGES SCHUMER BEHIND 'HIT JOB' REPORT ON FORMER PATIENTS

"Every year we gave away $3 to $4 million of charity, but we also had a business," Marshall said. "We had 300 employees, we had a mortgage payment, we had electric."

Hamilton, meanwhile, was questioned about his handling of allegations involving a volunteer at his church's summer camp alleged to have been a sexual predator. Hamilton acknowledged that he should have ensured the individual did not return to the camp after an initial investigation.

"I should have checked to make sure that he wasn't going back," Hamilton said. "That was a mistake on my part."

The candidates spent much of the rest of the debate trying to define each other by their respective national parties.

Marshall repeatedly warned that electing Hamilton would help hand control of the Senate to Democrats and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, while Hamilton sought to portray himself as an independent-minded Democrat willing to break with his party.

THE NINE KEY RACES THAT WILL DECIDE WHO CONTROLS THE SENATE, AND WHERE THEY STAND

That divide came into focus when the moderator played footage of Trump campaigning for Marshall in Kansas earlier this week and telling voters to "pretend, please, that I'm on the ballot."

Asked whether that meant he would support every part of Trump's agenda, Marshall said no and pointed to recent disagreements involving immigration enforcement in southwest Kansas and beef imports.

"Just like with my wife, I can disagree with her. My wife is always right," Marshall joked. "And President Trump is not always right."

Nevertheless, Marshall emphasized his support for much of Trump's agenda and urged the president's supporters to turn out for him.

"We need the Trump voters to come out," Marshall said. "If you want the Trump agenda to continue, if you want secure borders, if you want a strong military, if you want lower taxes, then you — and you voted for President Trump — you need to come out."

Hamilton faced a similar challenge when moderators pressed him over his past support for Democrats and his campaign message of "leading from the middle."

MANCHIN CALLS SCHUMER 'CRAZY' FOR TRYING TO OUST GOP SENATOR IN CRUCIAL SENATE SHOWDOWN

The Democratic nominee explicitly broke with former President Joe Biden over immigration.

"The Biden policies when it came to the border were a disaster," Hamilton said. "I believe in strong and secure borders."

Hamilton also said he would not support Schumer for majority leader if Democrats win control of the Senate.

The debate did produce an unusual moment of agreement when both candidates were asked how many genders there are.

"There's two. There's a boy and there's a girl," Marshall said.

"There are two genders, male and female," Hamilton responded.

Hamilton later said he did not want biological males competing against his 12-year-old granddaughter in sports, calling it "not a fair fight," while arguing that decisions over athletic participation should generally be handled locally rather than by the federal government.

The Kansas contest has emerged as an unexpectedly competitive Senate race in the closing weeks of the midterms. Marshall is seeking a second term in a state that has not elected a Democratic U.S. senator since 1932, while Hamilton, a longtime pastor, has campaigned as a moderate Democrat.

Um estudo publicado no Jornal da Associação de Alzheimer mostra que ondas cerebrais lentas durante a vigília (wSW), registradas no exame EEG (eletroencefalograma), podem servir como biomarcadores precoces para a neuro degeneração e para identificar estágios iniciais da doença de Alzheimer.

O resultado mostra que um exame rápido de EEG, de cerca de 2 minutos, pode ajudar no diagnóstico precoce, antes mesmo do surgimento de sintomas clínicos de declínio cognitivo.

A pesquisa foi realizada por cientistas do Instituto do Cérebro de Paris, Universidade Sorbonne, Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière e do Instituto da Memória e da Doença de Alzheimer.

As ondas lentas de vigília (wSW) são oscilações lentas semelhantes às ondas observadas durante o sono, mas que surgem no eletroencefalograma (EEG) enquanto a pessoa está acordada.

No estudo, as medições de wSW são associadas como biomarcadores precoces para o depósito de amiloide e para a neuro degeneração – o que possibilita a identificação de idosos em risco nos estágios iniciais da doença.

No Alzheimer, o depósito de proteína amiloide e o processo de neuro degeneração constituem duas das principais lesões e marcas biológicas da patologia.

Para o estudo, foram observados 314 idosos, entre 70 e 85 anos, com queixas de memória durante 2 anos. 

Durante o acompanhamento, foram realizados exames de imagem (PET scans de amiloide e neuro degeneração).

Cochilar frequentemente, passar por dificuldades financeiras, ter problemas emocionais e respirar um ar poluído são fatores, além do tabagismo e álcool, que podem estar associados ao risco de desenvolvimento do Alzheimer.

A associação está presente em um estudo desenvolvido por pesquisadores da Harvard, publicado na revista Alzheimer’s & Dementia, da Alzheimer’s Association, na edição de outubro. Os cientistas avaliaram cerca de 500 mil britânicos, entre 40 e 69 anos, do banco de dados UK Biobank, acompanhados por mais de 10 anos.

Ao todo, foram analisados 193 tipos de exposição divididos em cinco grupos (social, estilo de vida, químico, físico e ecossistema). Durante o período, 8.881 participantes, cerca de 1,77%, desenvolveram Alzheimer ou outro tipo de demência relacionada.

Dos fatores analisados, 76 apresentaram associação com a doença. Destes, 45 apresentaram risco e 31 apresentaram proteção.

Veja o índice: 

 

 

Entre as condições destacadas como predispostas, estão:

• Cochilar frequentemente: altera os padrões do sono e compromete a eficiência do sistema glinfático – via responsável por eliminar e limpar metabólitos e proteínas neurotóxicas do cérebro durante o descanso profundo.
• Dificuldades financeiras: gera estresse contínuo, piora a qualidade de vida e limita o acesso a cuidados preventivos de saúde.
• Polifarmácia: o número de remédios utilizados foi o preditor individual mais forte do modelo do estudo. O fator reflete a uma carga elevada de múltiplas doenças crônicas simultâneas (que podem contribuir), e não aos efeitos diretos dos medicamentos.
• Problemas emocionais: depressão, ansiedade, solidão e oscilações do humor ativam respostas de estresse biológicas e sustentam um estado de neuroinflamação que acelera a degradação neurológica.
• Ar poluído: a inalação de dióxido de nitrogênio e partículas finas está associada a maior risco e é apontada como agente neurotóxico, que pode causar inflamação no sistema nervoso central.
• Cigarro e álcool: fumar atualmente, a exposição à fumaça de tabaco dentro de casa e o consumo inadequado de álcool também aparecem entre os fatores de risco.

O que pode ajudar a reduzir o risco

Por outro lado, 31 fatores apareceram como associados à redução do risco de desenvolvimento das doenças.

Veja a seguir alguns dos fatores:

• Exercícios físicos regulares, atividades manuais e caminhadas: atuam por meio de mecanismos neuroprotetores diretos que podem preservar a idade do cérebro.
• Convivência a dois: diminui o isolamento social, a solidão e o estresse, ajudando a promover o estímulo cognitivo. Quem mora com um parceiro teve risco 22% menor em relação a quem mora com outras pessoas.
• Renda e segurança financeira: diminui a carga de estresse ligada à degradação do cérebro.
• Consumo de ovos: pessoas que nunca comeram ovos apresentaram um risco 76% maior de desenvolver a doença.
• Tecnologias digitais: o uso de computador e de celular foi associado a menor risco, o que reflete na estimulação cognitiva e na saúde do cérebro.

O estudo é observacional, ou seja, mostra associações e não comprova os fatores que causam a doença.

O que é o Alzheimer?

A doença de Alzheimer (DA) é um transtorno neurodegenerativo que ataca a memória e a capacidade cognitiva, comprometendo as atividades diárias e o comportamento do paciente.

Segundo a Febraz (Federação Brasileira das Associações de Alzheimer), cerca de 2 milhões de brasileiros vivem com demência, número que pode triplicar até 2030. No mundo, o índice chega a mais de 50 milhões de pessoas convivendo com a doença.

O Alzheimer é uma doença sem cura e não se sabe qual é a sua causa.  Apesar disso, existem diversos estudos que tentam identificar fatores de risco que não são atribuídos apenas à genética, como no caso da pesquisa feita pelos cientistas de Harvard.

How to get price-drop alerts on iPhone running iOS 27

Apple introduced a feature called Notify Me in Safari with iOS 27. Instead of returning to a website to see whether something has changed, you can tell Safari what to watch. For example, you might ask Safari to notify you when a pair of headphones drops below $150. You could also monitor a sold-out item and get an alert when the website indicates it's available again.

Unlike a traditional price tracker, Safari can look for other changes on a webpage, too. However, the feature doesn't work with every website, and alerts depend on Safari detecting the requested change.

Important: Notify Me requires Apple Intelligence. It works on compatible models, including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 or later. The standard iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus do not support Apple Intelligence.

Steps to set up Safari Notify Me

• Open Safari on your iPhone.
• Visit the product page you want to monitor.
• Tap the Page Menu button in the address bar. It may appear as a puzzle piece.
• Select Notify Me.
• Choose a suggested request or enter what you want Safari to watch, such as "Notify me when the price drops below $150."
• To change how often Safari checks the webpage, tap Edit and select your preferred interval.
• Tap the checkmark to finish.
• Allow notifications if your iPhone asks for permission.

Safari checks the page at your selected interval and sends a notification when it detects the change you requested. The available checking intervals include hourly, daily, weekly and monthly options. You can also use Notify Me for something other than shopping, such as watching for event tickets or a registration page to open. Just remember that updates are not necessarily instantaneous.

Can you track prices on an iPhone without Apple Intelligence?

Yes. If you have a standard iPhone 15 or another model that doesn't support Safari Notify Me, you can use Google Chrome instead. Google offers Chrome price tracking on iPhones running iOS 15 or later, including iOS 27. It works on supported product pages and requires a signed-in Google Account, history synchronization and the necessary browsing settings.

Steps to track prices using Chrome on iPhone

• Open Google Chrome on your iPhone.
• Visit the webpage of the product you want to track.
• Tap the three-dot More menu.
• Look for and select Track Price, if available.
• Scroll through the available products and select the one you want.
• Tap Track, then Done.
• Allow Chrome notifications when prompted.

To manage tracked products, look for Track Price in Chrome's three-dot menu. You may also find alert controls under Chrome > three-dot menu > Settings > Notifications. The exact options can vary by Chrome version and account.

Don't see Track Price? The option may not be available for that product or your account. You can also try searching for the product in the Google app and looking for a price-tracking option in its shopping results.

ANTI-SCAM SETTINGS ON IPHONE, PIXEL AND GALAXY YOU SHOULD CHECK

How to get price-drop alerts on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel

Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel owners can use Google's shopping tools to track products and receive alerts when prices fall. The easiest place to start is the Google app, which works similarly on both phones. Chrome may also show price-drop indicators on shopping pages you've left open.

How to track a product using the Google app

• Open the Google app on your Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel.
• Tap the search bar at the top of the screen.
• Type the name of a product you want to buy, such as Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro, then tap Search.
• Look for a picture of the product with its name and price in the search results. You may need to scroll down.
• Tap the product's picture or name to see more details.
• Look for Track price or a bell-shaped price-tracking icon and tap it if available.
• Select your preferred size, color or other options if asked.
• Choose the price you want to pay if Google gives you that option.
• Tap OK to confirm.

Google can send you a notification on your phone or an email when the product reaches your selected price. Make sure you're signed into your Google Account and have notifications enabled.

Don't see Track price? Go back to your search results and tap Shopping near the top of the screen. Select the product you want and look for Track price again. Google doesn't offer price tracking for every product, and the option may not appear for every account.

How to track prices directly in Chrome on Android

There's another handy option for Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel owners. Chrome can actively track prices on supported product pages and alert you when they drop. That means you don't have to leave a shopping tab open and keep checking it yourself.

Here's how to get started:

• Open Chrome on your Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel.
• Visit the product page you want to monitor.
• Tap the three-dot More menu in the upper-right corner.
• Select Track prices, if available.
• If Chrome displays a first-time introduction, tap Show me.
• Follow any remaining prompts to enable tracking.

You can find your tracked items under Chrome > three-dot menu > Bookmarks > Tracked products. To manage alerts, go to Chrome > three-dot menu > Settings > Google services > Get price tracking notifications. From there, you can adjust mobile and email notifications. Keep in mind that this feature only works on supported product pages. You'll also need to be signed into Chrome with your Google Account, enable syncing for tabs and browsing history and turn on Make searches and browsing better.

AI SHOPPING CARTS COULD DRIVE UP YOUR GROCERY BILL

Google's new Universal Cart adds another way to track prices

Google introduced Universal Cart in the United States earlier this month. The feature is rolling out across Google Search and the Gemini app, giving shoppers another way to keep track of products without constantly checking different websites. Universal Cart lets you save items from multiple retailers in one place. Once you've added a product, Google's shopping tools can monitor its price and alert you when the cost drops or an out-of-stock item becomes available again. The cart can also identify promotional codes and suggest payment options that may help you save money.

For example, if you're shopping for a new TV, you can save models from different stores and let Google watch for price changes. When you're ready to buy, you can complete eligible purchases through Google Pay or finish checkout directly on the retailer's website. Universal Cart is rolling out in the U.S., so it may not appear in every account immediately. It's another option worth checking if you already use Google Search or Gemini to shop.

Why your phone might not show the price-tracking option

If you don't see Notify Me or Track price, the feature may be unavailable for your phone, account or shopping website. Start by checking that your apps and browser are updated. On iPhone, Safari Notify Me requires a compatible device with Apple Intelligence enabled. For Google's shopping tools, make sure you're signed into your Google Account. Chrome may also require additional browsing or synchronization settings for certain shopping features.

Some product pages simply don't support tracking. In that case, try another retailer's listing for the same item. Google's price-tracking features are available in supported countries, including the United States, although availability varies by product and account.

Three things to check before buying after a price alert

A lower price can be tempting, especially when a notification pops up while you're doing something else. However, I wouldn't rush to check out without checking a few details.

• Look at the price history. Chrome's Shopping Insights can show historical pricing on eligible products. That can help you determine whether today's discount is unusually good or fairly common.
• Check the total cost. Shipping fees, taxes and optional extras can change how much you actually pay. Compare the final checkout price, not just the advertised discount.
• Make sure you're buying the right version. A lower price might apply to a different storage capacity, color, model year or product condition. Check the details before placing an order.

A price alert tells you something has changed. It doesn't necessarily mean you've found the lowest available price.

A quick privacy consideration

Price tracking comes with a privacy trade-off worth understanding. Google's shopping tools use your Google Account to manage tracked products and alerts. Certain Chrome shopping features may also require additional browsing information or settings, including Make searches and browsing better. You should review those options before enabling them.

That setting allows Chrome to share browsing-related information with Google to improve its services. You can review these options under Chrome > 3 dots in the upper right >Settings > Google services. Apple's Safari Notify Me uses Apple Intelligence to monitor webpages for requested changes. Before enabling either feature, consider whether the convenience is worth the information and permissions involved.

One more shopping safety tip

Be careful about clicking price-drop alerts or shopping links from unfamiliar senders. Scammers can create fake sale notifications that lead to fraudulent websites. Strong antivirus software can provide an additional layer of protection by helping detect malicious links, phishing attempts and other online threats. Get my picks for the best 2026 antivirus protection winners for your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.

Kurt's key takeaways

I've lost count of how many times I've looked at something online, decided to wait and then completely forgotten to check whether the price dropped. That's why I like having my phone do some of the watching for me. With Safari's Notify Me feature in iOS 27, compatible iPhones can monitor more than just prices. 

Meanwhile, Google's shopping tools can help Samsung Galaxy and Pixel owners follow prices on supported products, while Chrome offers additional shopping features on compatible devices. My advice is to start with something you actually need, especially a larger purchase where a price drop could save you a meaningful amount. Set up an alert and see what happens. You might save some money without spending your evenings hunting through shopping websites.

Have you ever bought something only to see the price drop a few days later? Would you trust your phone to watch prices for you, or do you prefer hunting for deals yourself? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

LEWISTON, MAINE – Former Sen. Joe Manchin, a longtime Democrat turned independent, took aim at Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday for trying to unseat Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, calling his former party leader's efforts "crazy" as he joined Collins on the campaign trail in her high-stakes re-election race.

Collins, a moderate Republican who at times has voted against President Donald Trump and her party, is fighting for her political life as she runs for a sixth six-year term representing blue-leaning Maine in the Senate. She is the only GOP senator seeking re-election in a state Trump lost in the 2024 election.

The race between Collins and Troy Jackson, a former state Senate president, is a top flip opportunity for Democrats as they try to win back the Senate majority from Republicans in the midterm elections. The latest public opinion polls indicate a margin-of-error showdown, and the latest Fox News Power Rankings rate the race as a toss-up, as do leading nonpartisan political handicappers the Cook Political Report, Inside Elections and Sabato's Crystal Ball.

Manchin, who worked closely with Collins during his years in the Senate, was asked by Fox News Digital how his campaigning with his former colleague would sit with Schumer, the top Democrat in the chamber.

DEMOCRATS THINK A BLUE WAVE IS BUILDING - HERE ARE THREE FACTORS THAT COULD STOP IT

"Chuck Schumer would not be surprised of me being with my dear friend. There is no surprise there at all. I told him he was crazy in 2020 from working against her so hard and he’s crazy now to work against her," Manchin said, as he referred to unsuccessful efforts by Democrats to defeat Collins in her re-election six years ago, and their current push to oust her.

Manchin emphasized, "This is not right. She is the soul of America. She is the soul of the Senate, and he knows he needs more Susan Collins, no matter what side of the aisle they’re on. This is ridiculous."

Fox News Digital reached out to Schumer's political team and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for a comment but did not receive a response at the time this story was published.

A former West Virginia governor who served in the Senate from 2010 to 2025, Manchin frequently broke with his party, frustrating Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden, as well as Schumer and other Senate Democratic leaders.

As he works to oust Collins from the Senate, Jackson has repeatedly tried to anchor the senator to Trump, who has seen his approval ratings in Maine and across the country drop further underwater.

DEMS SEE NEW CHANCES TO FLIP SENATE SEATS BUT GOP'S MASSIVE CASH ADVANTAGE AN OBSTACLE

But Manchin said that Collins is "not a Trump senator. She's not a Republican senator or a Democrat senator. She's an American senator that represents her state of Maine ... the most independent minded person I've ever met."

Collins noted that "Joe and I were part of every bipartisan initiative that passed the Senate and became law during the years that we worked together ... I just so enjoy our partnership in getting things done for Maine, for West Virginia and for America."

Manchin and Collins spoke with reporters after meeting with restaurant workers and customers at Simones' Hot Dog Stand, a famed local eatery in downtown Lewiston that's been serving customers for a century. It was the first of two campaign stops in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, a key swing district.

Collins and Jackson last week faced off on the debate stage for the fourth and final time. The senator used the debates to showcase how her Senate seniority has helped her deliver federal funding for Maine. Meanwhile, Jackson used the showdowns to position himself as an outsider who understands the struggles and frustrations of working-class voters.

Jackson won a special nominating convention in late July to claim the party's Senate nomination, which was left vacant after primary winner Graham Platner ended his campaign following allegations he raped a woman he previously dated. Platner denied the allegations but dropped out.

Jackson, who earlier this year unsuccessfully ran for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination, had campaigned alongside Platner during the primary campaign.

Collins, meanwhile, has a history of surviving Democratic efforts to unseat her.

Six years ago, she trailed Democratic challenger Sara Gideon, the Maine House speaker at the time, but Collins won re-election by nearly nine points while former President Joe Biden carried the state by a similar margin.

Investor Bill Ackman called the Democratic Party "crazy, radicalized and anti-American" during an interview on Tuesday, arguing that the party is "in a very bad place."

"I think the Democratic Party is in the worst place it's ever been, in the 250-year history of the country," Ackman told Katie Miller, host of the "Katie Miller Podcast." "I think it's become like this crazy, radicalized, you know, anti-American thing. I think it's — and by the way, I think there's some very high-quality Democrats, you know, senators and, sure, some congressmen — but the party itself, I think, is in a very bad place."

Ackman specifically named Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., as someone he used to be friendly with but now believes has "compromised" on his values.

"And I think the problem with people who've chosen to be a politician for a career, you either have to get with the party in order to continue, or you get primaries," Ackman said. "You know, actually, Senator Schumer, I had a good relationship with him over the years. I thought he was a good man. But in recent years, I felt he's just trying to keep his job." 

"And, you know, that's the really low point for politicians when they'll compromise on their values, and they'll support, you know, a quasi-terrorist, perhaps running for Senate in Michigan, because they have to for the party," Ackman said. "Stuff like that to me is, or terrorist supporter, is not, that's, I find that pretty, deeply concerning."

Schumer's office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

"Chuck Schumer has been in Washington long enough to know exactly what’s happening to his party. The question isn’t whether he sees it. It’s whether he’s willing to do anything about it," Y. David Scharf, chair of Morrison Cohen’s government strategies and controversies practice, told Fox News Digital of Ackman's remarks. 

"There’s something remarkable about watching one of the most powerful Jewish Democrats in America struggle to stand up to the very people in his party who are alienating Jewish voters," he continued. "Bill Ackman isn’t asking Schumer to become a Republican. He’s asking him to act like the Democrat he spent decades telling us he was."

EX-DSA MEMBER RIPS ABDUL EL-SAYED AND WARNS FAR-LEFT ADOPTING POLITICS OF FOREIGN TERROR ORG

Ackman appeared to reference Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who has faced questions over his family's alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

El-Sayed's campaign did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The controversy followed a Washington Free Beacon report about social media posts in which El-Sayed's half-sister, Eman Abdelhadi, described her family's history with the Muslim Brotherhood.

In one 2012 post, Abdelhadi described a conversation with her and El-Sayed's mother, Fatten Elkomy, about her involvement with the organization during college in Egypt.

"Had an amazing talk with my mom about her activism in the Muslim Brotherhood during the early '70s while she was in college #respect," she posted to X.

El-Sayed has denied any family connections to the group. During a recent interview with NBC's "Meet the Press," El-Sayed rejected the assertions when asked to set the record straight.

"I have no ties; we have no ties," El-Sayed said.

During a town hall on Saturday, El-Sayed responded to a man identified as Tommy, asking him whether he would disavow the Muslim Brotherhood.

"Sure," El-Sayed said. "Yeah, absolutely. But I want to ask the question that you're asking: Why are you asking the question?"

The vacation comes as Schumer continues to share glimpses of her life following her weight-loss journey.

"Not to look hot which does feel fun and temporary. I did it to survive," she continued.
