Talarico: This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field. We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables.

NEW: Blanche claims DOJ's Alaska lawsuit doesn't seek to block certification of the state's election results. The actual complaint says it does. His attempt to reframe the lawsuit is a bid to push back against how it's been correctly interpreted: a dangerous effort to subvert the midterms.

Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

Enten: "Trump's net approval rating -- its all time low! -35 points, the worst he has ever been in the Reuters/Ipsos poll. Among independents he's 54 points underwater. NBC -- worst ever. ABC -- worst ever. Ipsos -- worst ever. Pew -- worst ever."

OSSOFF: At a rally, the president egged on supporters who assaulted a woman demanding the release of the Epstein files. Because if you can count on one thing about this White House, it's their tireless commitments to war, inflation, and covering up sex trafficking.

Absolutely astounding that weeks before the midterms he’s openly banging on about this while it’s a) close to ruling in court & he pissed off the judge, and b) after the arch, reflecting pool, & ballroom blew up in his face and helped tank his poll numbers apnews.com/article/trum...

“I hope this fuels people’s internal fire to get out the early vote.” I chat with @ezralevin.bsky.social about META taking down the No Kings Instagram account. This demands an investigation. Listen to our whole conversation here: open.substack.com/pub/muellers...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

Ossoff: "Foster kids don't have lobbyists or a super PAC. Neither do the women subjected to medical abuse in ICE detention. Neither do the female inmates sexually abused by the warden and the chaplain in their federal prison ... they deserve leaders who see them"

Unacceptable. Meta took down the No Kings Instagram today and kept it offline for well over an hour. Censoring free speech to appease Donald Trump? We the people deserve answers, but regardless, we will not be silenced.

‘Standing up for democracy’: Atlanta ‘No Kings’ rally draws Trump critics ahead of midterms

Today Meta removed No Kings’s page at the peak of the largest voter turnout activation in our history. While access has now been restored, this was concerning timing and we hope it is not a sign of things to come but must be prepared.

Today, millions of Americans hit the streets for the BIGGEST early vote activation in US history! Next, we're going to make sure every vote is counted, the election results are certified, and the winners are seated in January. Join our mass call to learn more: bit.ly/whatsnext1021.

It’s amazing how angry MAGA is about today’s No Kings events, where people showed up and encouraged others to vote.

Acosta: Have you seen the golden horses? They painted a horse's ass gold. And speaking of asses… Donald Trump was at this rally and he's talking about this guy's ass… I don’t think Natalie Harp has anything to worry about.
