Preliminary numbers we are hearing has ~5 of the new Tennessee seats down near single digits in terms of Republican partisanship numbers. Meaning a huge blue wave could flip a number of seats. 👀 If you’re thinking of getting involved, now’s the time.

Trump's #BorderWall construction has damaged an ancient archeological site in Arizona. Contractors scraped a roughly 50-foot-wide swath through the 1,000-year-old figure and surrounding refuge to make way for a second border wall planned by the Trump administration. More info: biodiv.us/4epLVc4
