Trump's affordability message: "You could even come to Mar-a-Lago. You'll be my guest. The problem is that for $5,000 the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that! No, don't go there. It's not a good place if you're price conscious."

🚨 Troy Jackson FIRES BACK after Susan Collins runs an ad questioning his qualifications as a fifth-generation logger. “It's not the first time I've had someone that thought they were better than me talk down to me.” “Actually it IS about a cord of wood. People can't afford to heat their homes.”

Did you know we’re below the minimum recommended amount of oil, and just barely above the *statutory minimum* in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve? Lowest level since 1982, and gas is still through the roof. What happens when the war in Iran kicks back off?

Yet another entrenched authoritarian defeated yesterday in Serbia. As the United States approaches a critical midterm election, Serbia shows that we can win despite uphill authoritarian conditions. It can be done. It takes all of us, especially young people. Timothy Snyder

1/ Three weeks ago Lula trailed by 2.2 million votes. Yesterday he won Brazil's presidency, the first runoff comeback in its history. Part of why: 10 million everyday supporters on one WhatsApp channel, each handed a job to do. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

2/ What jumps out: more people voted in the runoff than in round one, nearly 3 million more, and fewer people left their ballots blank. This looks like a comeback built on turnout, not only on changing minds. The Atlas has the breakdown. atlasdevelopment.substack.com/p/brazils-fi...

atlasdevelopment.substack.comBrazil's first comebackAgainst all odds, Lula won the runoff by 3.6 points and will be president for a fourth time. How did Brazil's electoral map change from the first round and from 2022?

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.
