NEW: Pope Leo XIV is set to become the first sitting pontiff in the Catholic Church’s two-thousand-year history to vote in a secular election.
Leo requested an Illinois mail ballot on Oct. 3, and it was sent to his brother John’s home in New Lenox, Ill.
John Prevost visited the pope at the Vatican on Wednesday and may now be carrying the ballot back to the Will County clerk by hand. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope…

Catholics have a real faith that provides them a catechism for viewing art as art. American Protestantism is histrionic and unmoored so anything can be interpreted as the devil.

For those of you mercifully confused by this and her whole... thing, Nicki Minaj wants two things: a pardon for her brother (who was convicted of sexually abusing an 11 year old girl in New York State, a pardon that can only be granted by the governor) and a pardon for her husband (he didn't register as a sex offender in California, a federal offense, which can only be pardoned by the President.)

Boston hardcore band Haywire played a surprise pop-up show in Times Square that lasted just one and a half songs before the NYPD shut it down and confiscated their gear.

Right now Michigan Senator Gary Peters is rallying with Abdul El-Sayed in Kalamazoo. Peters endorsed Haley Stevens in the Democratic primary, but has since thrown his support behind El-Sayed. This is the first time we know of that he’s come out to campaign with him in person. @NewsNation

The ONE (1) time you’ll catch me poll posting this year: @CorySmidt’s pre-election survey conducted with @MSU_poli_sci & the Office of Survey Research at MSU is out. Take the toplines or leave em, but the issue numbers are worth a look:
This is the single greatest scene in all of Star Trek media, period, and it would not have been possible without the sheer passion and artistry of Partick Stewart.
RIP you brilliant, brilliant man.

“We are now Swift Boating Clay Travis for his Cheesecake Factory stolen valor” pretty much sums up this election.

Whatever happens, I want to plead with media, pundits, and strategists gaming 2028 not to simply look at Michigan results through standard Right vs Left / Left vs Center paradigms. If you asses this race and don’t account for the unrelenting racism, you’re engaged in malpractice
Vance on El-Sayed: We have to understand what happens when our nation gives into these kinds of people with zero attachment to its land or to its history.
What we saw in France, the hatred, the ingratitude, the desire to destroy rather than a desire to build, that exact same cancer that has corrupted El-Sayed.

For all the safety discourse, it is shocking how mainstream American discourse ignores how unsafe this racist garbage makes it for Muslim Americans.
Sen. @tedcruz (R-TX) says that if U.S. Sen. candidate Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is elected into the Senate and is placed in the Senate Intelligence Committee, "there is a very real risk that Americans will die as a result."

Noteable for voters in Detroit, Lansing, East Lansing, Flint, Hamtramck, Grand Rapids & Warren: if federal monitors are at your polling place, they’re not FBI/ICE & they can’t have firearms. If you’re curious what monitors actually do, read @Hayley__Harding/@VotebeatUS coverage!
JUST IN: DOJ says it won't be embedding FBI/ICE agents as poll monitors or putting anyone in that role to conduct law enforcement. s3.documentcloud.org/documen…

A lot of liberal Democratic Jews don't want to hear it, but we're about to see historic defections from Michigan Jews from the Democratic coalition. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…
