Meiselas on what she's calling a pivotal election day two years into Trump's second term: "Will America spin further into fascism?" She's predicting a blue wave.

A Democratic candidate in Texas is accusing Elon Musk of trying to make Ken Paxton his "personal senator" — and making that the center of his campaign message.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is framing higher food prices as a win — arguing that rising wheat, soybean, cotton, and rice prices are actually good for American farmers.
El-Sayed to pronatalists: you can't push people to have kids while cutting billionaire taxes and funding unnecessary wars — those things directly make kids unaffordable.
A corruption scandal tied to a Kushner-linked luxury resort has fueled 150+ days of street protests in Albania and is barely registering in Western media.

Tim Anderson wants data centers to come with a full water usage plan before they get approved — not just promises, but specifics on volume and systems.

Ossoff in Decatur with 26 hours to go: doubled health insurance premiums, soaring grocery prices from tariffs, and "lied into another war in the Middle East" — that's his closing argument.
Angie Nixon says Miami-Dade residents aren't just stretched thin — many can't afford to live there at all anymore, and she's pointing directly at rent costs as the reason.

Trump essentially conceded the midterms before they happen — "for some reason, the sitting president doesn't win the midterms, but we gave this a very strong shot."

Abdul El-Sayed's argument: we don't actually have a capitalist healthcare system right now because insurer-provider rate negotiations are opaque and non-competitive — Medicare for All would fix that by freeing up the provider market.
Talarico puts the Iran conflict at a billion dollars a day and says it's driving up gas prices — part of his case that the administration hasn't kept a single major promise more than a year in.
Kushner is pushing ahead with a $4.4 billion Albanian resort on land Albanian courts say was transferred using falsified documents — with funding from Qatari investors and sign-off from the prime minister.

Two suspects bolted on foot and the officer's radio calls stacked up fast — "I've got a runner" repeated back to back as both fled at the same time.

Sometimes the most complete reaction is the one that doesn't finish its sentence.
Bill Murray asked Kevin Hassett to say "my dog just died" mid-interview just to test whether his smile would break. It didn't.

Trump called Methodist megachurch pastor Adam Hamilton a "possibly perverted pastor" and told his supporters not to vote for him.
7
Dan Pfeiffer says gas prices have never been this high on an election day in recent memory — and that's before factoring in inflation and tariffs already outpacing wage growth.

Abdul El-Sayed refused to answer a question about internal party politics mid-interview and pivoted to families 15 minutes away worried about school lunch and medical bills. Hard to argue with the redirect.

Trump told a rally crowd that Rep. Ashley Hinson "was a little bit heavier" when he first knew her and that she lost the weight "for you" — meaning her constituents.

$50 to fill your tank is now $100. That's the kind of number that doesn't really have a spin.
