President Donald Trump is praising Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens after she endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan's closely watched U.S. Senate race, breaking with her party just two days before the midterm elections. Speaking to reporters after arriving in Iowa on Sunday, Trump welcomed Stevens' decision to support Rogers over Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed, who defeated Stevens in the August primary. Trump also addressed the endorsement during a campaign rally in Dubuque, Iowa, calling Stevens brave for crossing party lines. "I'd love her to join the Republican Party actually," Trump told supporters. The president praised Stevens for what he described as her loyalty to Michigan voters while criticizing El-Sayed, whom he repeatedly called a "jihadist." Trump also suggested that El-Sayed, who is Muslim, would require special security screening if elected to the Senate. Stevens announced her endorsement Sunday after a public dispute with El-Sayed's campaign. She said she no longer felt welcome in his campaign and believed supporting Rogers was the right decision for Michigan. The endorsement drew sharp criticism from Democratic leaders, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who called the move a betrayal. Republican leaders welcomed Stevens' support. El-Sayed dismissed the controversy, saying he remained focused on issues affecting Michigan residents, including affordability, health care and the economy. The unexpected endorsement has added another dimension to Michigan's Senate contest, one of several closely watched races that could determine control of Congress. Voters will head to the polls Tuesday, November 3.

According to our partners at Townhall, an email address that James Talarico’s attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com’s 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico’s email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders. The result lists the username “mohawk787” and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile’s interests field lists “FETISH,” “GROUPSEX,” “SEXUAL RELATIONS,” “ONLINE FLIRTING,” and “OTHER.” Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

A California man with two prior felony convictions is facing the possibility of life in prison -- accused of throwing scalding hot coffee in a restaurant manager's face. Prosecutors say 64-year-old Willie Anthony Quinn went to a Jack in the Box in San Mateo Saturday morning and asked the manager for free food. When she refused, a customer stepped in and bought him a meal and a cup of coffee. But police say Quinn then demanded a fresh cup of coffee -- and became angry when the manager refused. Investigators say as the manager was escorting him out, Quinn threw the nearly 200-degree coffee on her face and neck. Police say the woman's skin was already blistering when 911 was called. Officers used surveillance video to identify Quinn and arrested him the following day. Police say he was also carrying a small bag of methamphetamine. Quinn is charged with assault with a deadly weapon, assault likely to cause great bodily injury and drug possession. Prosecutors say his prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and felony assault with a gun count as two strikes under California law -- putting him at risk of a life sentence. Quinn has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for November 5.

Two California police officers are facing felony charges -- accused of tampering with evidence and filing a false police report. The San Jose Police Department says 29-year-old Raydarius Surry and 30-year-old Destiney Thompson were arrested Wednesday following an internal investigation. Investigators say the case started after a baggie of suspected drugs went missing from evidence connected to a May arrest. Police allege Surry was notified the evidence was missing -- and later stopped a pedestrian with no connection to the original case. He allegedly seized a similar baggie of suspected narcotics and booked it into evidence using the original case number -- without documenting the new stop. Thompson is accused of reviewing body camera footage from the original arrest to help Surry replace the missing evidence. Both officers were placed on administrative leave in September. The department says investigators have found no evidence of other report discrepancies or similar misconduct by the two officers.

Three customers and two employees were treated for chemical burns after cleaning chemicals were mistaken for sugar at a Chili's restaurant in North Carolina. Health officials say the incident happened Wednesday at the restaurant's Forest City location. According to investigators, a granulated degreasing chemical was left in an unlabeled container in the bar area after an outside contractor power-washed the restaurant. Two days later, an employee mistook the chemical for sugar and used it to make margaritas. Three customers who ordered the drinks immediately experienced discomfort and suffered chemical burns in and around their mouths. Two employees also experienced similar symptoms after tasting the substance. The restaurant's food service permit was immediately suspended while health officials investigated. They say the restaurant has since thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the affected areas -- and the permit has been reinstated after inspectors determined it met all food safety requirements. Health officials say the incident is a reminder of the importance of properly labeling and storing chemicals to prevent accidental exposure.
