D.C.

In battleground Senate races, almost 13% of Hispanic and 11% of AAPI early voters didn't vote at all. Compare that to 3% of white early voters. Why does that matter? In early vote analysis you have to consider if these voters would have just voted anyhow...

NEW: I'm joining a coalition of AGs demanding answers from Meta for suspending the No Kings Coalition's Instagram during nationwide protests. Meta must protect legitimate political activity of its platforms. We won't let Big Tech censor activism ahead of Election Day.

House Judiciary Democrats have uncovered reports alleging Trump was an "active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of young women in the mid-to-late 1990s."

🚨 Gov. Josh Shapiro rips into JD Vance in a new interview. “The only smart thing it seems like [Trump] did was not endorsing Vance. That guy is just a profoundly and PATHETICALLY WEAK human being who wants to preach morality every day.”

South Carolina's former governors Jim Hodges, a Democrat, and David Beasley, a Republican, shoot a joint 60-second ad endorsing Annie Andrews for Senate. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZ5...

Turnout in Brazil was 81 percent today, up from 79 percent in the 2022 election.

In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

what a night

“.. a stunning comeback, sealed late as voters in Lula’s northeastern stronghold rallied behind one of Latin America’s most prominent opponents of Trumpism.” @bloomberg.com 🇧🇷 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

EL-SAYED: I get that the President takes personal offense to my first name. He doesn't mind as much when it's the Saudis who are funding his son-in-law's private equity. Doesn't seem to mind as much when it's the Qataris who are giving them a $400 million private jet…

I hear the discomfort in my Jewish circles about Abdul El-Sayed. So I wanted to address it directly. I have known @abdulelsayed.bsky.social for a long time. He is committed to fighting for working people + justice & making life more affordable for all. www.instagram.com/reel/De4kpU3...

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

Texans who voted in the 2026 Democratic Primary are voting early at a higher rate than Republican primary voters.

A stunning defeat for a Trump-aligned right-wing leader in Europe. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, whose government cultivated close ties with Donald Trump and his family, has conceded defeat to a student-led opposition movement in a historic parliamentary election.

BREAKING: BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — Serbia's strongman leader Aleksandar Vucic has conceded defeat to a student-led movement in a seismic political shift.

Betting markets are breaking towards Lula as we speak. If he beats Hospital Man Jr., even with all of the corrupt bullshit — from bus services shut down to Zuck and Trump's government interfering — he's a Certified Dawg™.

The most maddening part of this -- which is saying something -- is that the cop who has torn his town into shreds thinks the remaining residents are cool with him because they smile at him when he walks by. Mind-numbing levels of cope. www.propublica.org/article/depo...

“There is no office that is worth stooping that low” — Obama portrays Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad as an affront to basic decency

Obama points out that while we may be struck with Trump for two more years, we are not stuck with a spineless Congress

“He’s got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened up a Cheesecake Factory” — Obama

OBAMA: Remember that whole thing about drain the swamp? The only thing that got drained. was the reflecting pool after some no-bid contract got it all messed up. And then they tried to blame a 3 time Olympian by claiming he vandalized it.

OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.

Ossoff says his campaign is for everybody who craves sanity and decency in their politics

Access to healthcare matters. Making life more affordable matters. Our right to vote matters. Mississippi matters. Thank you to VP Kamala Harris for knowing just how much our state matters. When Mississippi succeeds, our nation succeeds. Let’s win big on November 3rd!
