Lula wins!

Virginia. Nevada. Idaho. Missouri: These 4 states have abortion ballot measures. In another 7, voters will weigh in on LGBTQ+ rights, especially re trans kids in sports. In GA's governor's race, a rare blue wave could liberalize state abortion laws. We're watching them all. Follow along with us.

I love editing young reporters. In this collab w/ @fullerproject.org, Maia Capuano asked her fellow UGA students about the GA governor's race. Turns out, they're not much focused on the remote possibility that a Dem wave could overturn the state's abortion ban. They have more kitchen table concerns.

The little podcast team that could!! I am so lucky to work with @angryblacklady.blacksky.app And so proud that @rewirenewsgroup.com is once again an award-winning newsroom 🏆

Not a congressman yet--but a former NYC city council member and city comptroller & mayoral candidate. Brad Lander def has a public profile--but it hasn't prevented him from being arrested and roughed up. Last year, Lander was also arrested in NYC over his monitoring of immigration courts.

Breast cancer awareness month usually comes with pink ribbons and mammogram reminders. And that's all well and good. But the reality is that while a breast cancer diagnosis is life-changing, it's often just the start of a longer journey that's often invisible. rewirenewsgroup.com/2026/10/19/a...

Arguably she's half a Scaramucci because her first day on the job was Monday.

A Scaramucci is ten days (july 21-31). Zacharia was appointed on Oct 9 and lasted till October 16. So a Zacharia is seven days, or 7/10ths of a Scaramucci.

Lol news moves fast under Trump! We've updated this morning's Zacharia item to reflect her ouster:

Jason is not on social media (wise man), but if you know him, give him a high five because he really did ye ol' shoe leather reporting here.

Regular food is so expensive now that airport prices seem totally fine to me. Just paid $22 for a rice and falafel bowl, with tip—about $3 less than my local “bowl” spot seta me back in Brooklyn

An ICE officer fired at least seven rounds into a car on a crowded New York street Thursday afternoon, city officials said, wounding a man while a 5-year-old boy sat unharmed in the back seat.

This woman must have a lively internal monologue. Strength aside, I feel like I’d just get bored and give up. That’s what do in my little strength training classes and those only 50-second holds

Horrifying: Arizona Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia was raped by a man after he knocked her out. Another man approached her to do the same. “She began swinging her foot at him. ‘Not even worth it,’ she heard the man say as he moved away.”

Such a vibe

RNG is partnering up w/other newsrooms to cover the midterms. There's many races and high-stakes issues to follow; independent outlets can do more by working together. We worked with @us.theconversation.com on this judicial races explainer. Stay tuned for our next collab, with @fullerproject.org

I so appreciate French protest culture

My perimenopause and I loved chatting with Jennifer Weiss-Wolf about her new book, When In Menopause. It's out today! Weiss-Wolf believes that women are people whose dignity and wellbeing matter (radical!)--and that in healthy democracy, that fact makes menopause a public policy matter.

Brazil convicted and jailed his father for attempting a coup against President Lula. Now Flavio Bolsonaro is now in a near dead heat dead heat for the presidency—against Lula. Election is tomorrow.

Stretch marks in the @newyorker.com ❤️ (9/14 issue, Hermes profile)

The MTA on Wednesday said President Donald Trump’s tariffs on foreign imports are on track to add $1 billion to the price of New York’s new train cars and buses. gothamist.com/news/mta-say...

"This is a ginned up trans panic, brought to you by Republicans who know that if you can manipulate public opinion on the culture war issue du jour, you can distract people from the economic issues that actually matter to them: outrageous gas prices and barely affordable groceries."

But…why? I know, I know! You could say that about so many EOs but just…why?

Standing room only, baby!

As a reminder, “major loss for voters” =big blow to democracy. The US was already downgraded from “liberal democracy” to “electoral democracy” in 2025 bc of executive overreach and suppression of civil liberties. When elections lose their integrity and people power, democracy is a hard word to use.

I'm late to this, because I didn't have time to read fully until now and wanted to tune out the discourse until I did. I didn't expect to be moved to tears.

Okay fine we released a few more tix but that’s the final offer!

There’s like 2 tickets left so move quick, people!

This is true. It was a grand reunion and we are all smoking hot

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

I just casually and unironically told a bee to buzz off

And this is why, when @natasharoy.bsky.social says she needs to watch Mormon Wives for work, I say yes please!

Editor: I'd like a story that combines Americans' hatred of artificial intelligence, their fears about the environment, their antipathy toward data centers, and their angst over inflation driven by dwindling fuel supplies. Reporter: Got ya covered, boss. Need anything else?

$68m won't start a war in Iran, but it has contributed to a record drop in teen pregnancy since 2010, when HHS began funding this sex-ed program. Now Trump has canceled the grants. @cameronoakes.bsky.social interviewed a teen sex educator and a group that lost its $ about why good sex ed matters.
