Today on MSNOW on Sirius I heard an ad for betting on midterm election races with Draft Kings. The ad directs listeners to go to draft kings dot com slash MSNOW.

🚨 CAUGHT ON CAMERA Israeli settler: “Go back to Jordan... It's not your land.” Suri Crowe's group: “But why can't they harvest their trees?” The settler then threatens to call the police and have members of the group taken away. Suri Crowe reports from the ground in the West Bank.

Bill Maher said “fuck you” and called us bitches for being upset he dined with Trump. Then Trump tore into Maher on Truth Social calling him a lying, losery coward. That’s funny to me.

🚨BREAKING: We have moved for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction enjoining Trump from continuing to unconstitutionally impose themselves upon election administration procedures that the Constitution and federal law assign to the States.

Well how's he supposed to fill a venue in a Democratic stronghold like.... [checks notes]... Mississippi

Wow! I was not expecting that.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

NEW: Transgender Texas Student Union has retained counsel in response to the Travis County filing related to the fake transgender mailers. It's Chris Hilton, who previously worked for Ken Paxton at the Texas Attorney General's office and left temporarily to defend Paxton in his impeachment trial.

NEW: A second archbishop, William Joensen of Des Moines, has apologized for the Oval Office prayer over President Trump led by Denver Archbishop James Golka. Golka has blamed the media for “headlines, which are often crafted to provoke.”

Note: In 2016 Trump won with the help of coordinated messaging amplified by bots. He still relies on that coordinated messaging, tho the Epstein schism undermined that some. But this SEEMS to say you don't stay off Xitter and Facebook--you coordinate to game it.

Pro-Lula Brazilians doing en masse digital organizing against the platforms is interesting. Basically took website/influencer growth hacking techniques—eg everyone go like/comment/share this, get the algorithm to pick it up—and applied them to electoral politics at a grand scale. Thread:

🚨BREAKING: In a blow to the DOJ, the 9th Circuit rejected its request to bypass a lower court to bar California from counting around 20k ballots from people it alleges are "likely" noncitizens. The ruling comes the night before the parties are scheduled to have a hearing before a lower court.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

Tonight Students Saved Democracy in Serbia. 🇷🇸 They won the election. The Student List movement unites youth, academics, and civic voices across Serbia. Grounded in anti-corruption reforms, democratic integrity, transparent governance, this movement brings hope to many. Vučić conceded defeat!

Another evil layer to this ad from Josh Turek: When he turns to say "stop the nonsense from both extremes," he opens with a clip of Rep. Becca Balint, the first openly gay woman to represent Vermont in congress and one of the few openly gay members of congress.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

New reporting uncovers that the White House intervened to shut down an investigation into the Epstein files. I’m SO SURPRISED to hear this

warmorange.bsky.social reposted

Horrible. This issue is before the Supreme Court in a different case, and I hope they disagree with the 5th Circuit.

When a worker wears an Amazon vest, drives an Amazon van and delivers on an Amazon-controlled route, but Amazon denies they work for the company — that's exploitation.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

The answer is yes. He can win. Because he doesn’t throw trans folks under the bus, for one.

Deeply anti human strain of politics in both parties. It seems the only thing american politicians learn is how to toss vulnerable groups of people overboard when they deem it politically expedient.

Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com

In a major escalation in Dems embracing anti-trans positions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the official campaign arm of House Democrats, released its first anti-trans ad supporting Nancy Lacore in SC-01. Transphobia is spreading among dems. Subscribe to support our journalism.

"Reading books is active resistance" is something I tell to my students every day.

As I sat and watched a variety of the debates last night, I couldn’t help but ask myself…why are these Republicans candidates so terrible?
