  "account": "The host of \"The Tonight Show,\" Jimmy Fallon, took aim at the White House's approach to monitoring the upcoming midterm elections. During his Wednesday night monologue, Fallon dubbed the Trump administration's strategy \"Operation Sus.\" The remark came as new polling data indicated that Democrats were favored to gain control of both the House and the Senate, a sentiment that Fallon playfully linked to the Great Kale Fad of 2013.\n\nFallon also pointed out that President Trump had been actively campaigning across the country, giving rallies in Ohio, Nebraska, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma, and Texas. He joked about this, referring to it as \"the best week ever!\" The White House had announced that it would not permit international election monitors to oversee the midterms, marking the first time in over 20 years that the U.S. government had taken such a stance.\n\nIn light of these developments, Fallon mocked the White House's announcement with sarcasm, referring to the plan as \"Operation Sus.\" He then introduced a fake commercial featuring a \"Trump\" advertisement for a \"state-of-the-art Trump ballot counter.\" The ad was revealed to be a paper shredder, with \"Trump\" jokingly boasting about testing the device with the Epstein Files and promising confetti for his election party.",
