If the Democrats want to stop the Republicans from a supermajority in Nebraska, they need to hold on to all of their seats and flip one of three districts in suburban Omaha, #SD04, #SD12, or #SD18. All are very competitive, so it's possible! SLEW RATINGS: Lean D (FLIP) (ALL)

Donald Trump and his war in Iran are to blame for our nation's sky-high diesel and gas prices. His latest ploy—buying fuel from his friend Vladimir Putin—reeks of weakness and will help pay for Russia’s war but will do nothing to make life more affordable for American families.

As much as we will all want to be able to take a breath on November 4th, we need to be prepared for post-Election Day activities. Namely, ballot curing. In the post-election period after 2024 Dems managed to win/flip close seats thanks to ballot curing efforts. I suspect that will happen again.

‼️ Russia: “Ukrainian strikes could have disabled all three Yandex supercomputers.” 🍿 Oh dear… ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/11/u...
Ukrainian strikes could have disabled all three Yandex supercomputers.

All three Yandex supercomputers may have been disabled after Ukrainian drone attacks on three of the company's five data centers in the Ryazan, Kaluga, and Vladimir regions, according to T-Invariant . The last of these facilities was attacked on the night of October 11: the Vladimir data center was damaged, forcing the company to completely shut down its operations. Yandex's supercomputer, Galushkin, is located there.

MAGA will be completely happy to allow their children to watch a public execution—just as racists took their kids to watch public hangings of Black people. A nation that teaches its children to applaud executions isn’t raising patriots. It’s creating barbarians.

It's so ridiculous that even in court docs the Admin uses a made up name for its 2025 budget reconciliation law. There is no Working Families Tax Cut Act. The law has no title (stripped in Senate) but the House version was titled One Big Beautiful Bill Act, its commonly used name along with H.R. 1.

Note: Vance’s remarks, mentioned here, did *not* go over well w/Kansas Methodists. At the time, Hamilton’s own bishop issued a statement defending the pastor and condemning the VP’s comments. Then 120 UMC pastors in Kansas did the same in a letter. Read more here: religionnews.com/2026/09/23/h...

23 days out from election day, the most notable trend emerging from the early vote is large turnout increases among voters of color relative to the same point in time in both 2022 and 2024. In fact, in every state reporting thus far the white vote share is lower than '22/'24.
