Let’s do all of this. Please, go to the article and the listings, find a race that hadn’t crossed your radar before, and do something to help them out; a donation (if you can), volunteer for them, text a friend who lives there about the candidate, post about them on social media. Talk with people.
The size of the 'blue wave' isn't just about how far Dems get in the. U.S. House. There are hundreds of local offices that could flip if Dems have a great night—attorneys general, county governments, utility commissions, school boards. Lots to peruse on my guide to 670 items to watch on Nov. 3!

Roberts *explicitly* stated that POTUS has immunity even for directing a “sham” prosecution or one with an improper purpose or motivation. He can also promise to pardon anyone who follows his orders. As AG says, what’s the downside, for anyone?
Why wouldn’t he admit it? The Supreme Court immunized this kind of stuff. It’s why Jack Smith had to take the Jeffrey Clark/DOJ/Trump conspiracy out of his Jan 6 indictment.

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

Performative pushback yet he confirms the plan.
BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history
I have zero empathy for this guy but so much for the people he terrorized and tortured. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/m...

She yelled “fascist” as President Trump spoke at a midterm campaign rally. Almost immediately, she was tackled and punched by male rally-goers. Why has no one been charged? nyti.ms/3Ukw1b8

Trump is literally killing Americans—you!—to increase profits for his corporate cronies. Putting greed—not America—first and making Americans gasp (for clean air) again. Good work, NYT.
JUST POSTED: Today at The NYT we are publishing a major investigation into how President Trump used his executive powers to expose millions of Americans to greater cancer risks. A six month-long investigation built on more than 10,000 pages of FOIA records. Read it www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/c...
