some 22-year-old field organizer in Chicago has robert prevost marked as “not home” in MiniVAN and I think that’s beautiful
Pope Leo XIV has become the first-ever Pope to vote in a U.S. election. (via AP) He submitted a Chicago mail-in ballot for the 2026 midterms.

If you want to see an extreme shift look at Darien. 2008: McCain 54%-45% 2012: Romney 65%-34% 2016: Clinton 53%-41% 2020: Biden 61%-38% 2024: Harris 59%-40% That is a 54% margin swing from 2012 to 2020!! But they haven't shifted at the local level yet, they don't have an Eleni.

Connecticut’s residential electric rates fell by more than 10% last year while rates nationally rose 5%. Governor Lamont’s focus on clean energy, efficiency, and utility accountability is making a difference for Connecticut families.

What’s equally crazy is that NJ’s gubernatorial election in 2025 ended up being D+14.4 despite the close early voting. It’s possible that Democratic voters are “front-loading” their votes, but the NJGOP is in a bad place if they can’t rely on a similar number of banked R-votes.

Would be hilarious if Jeff Van Drew was both swept in and out of office by Democratic waves.

Something you thought you may never see - Kansas Democrats have a firewall of 15,000 votes barely a week out from the midterms
Early voting continued in Kansas this weekend, and over 200,000 Kansans have voted so far! Here are the current margin and turnout numbers by House District. Johnson County continues to be a turnout nuke, but Sedgwick will catch up some this week as they open more EV locations.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…
