- by Dan FriedmanWill undecided voters in states such as Alaska and Michigan base their ballot decisions Tuesday on President Donald Trump’s fountain repairs in Washington, DC? If so, Trump’s 47-minute appearance on Monday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool would make sense.

- by Sonel CutlerWhen the Republican-controlled Guilford County Board of Elections rejected North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University students’ request for an on-campus early voting location, students like Jimmie Holton Jr. had two options: Pay up to $30 for a rideshare or walk 45 minutes in 85-degree heat to the nearest site. Like many of the school’s […]
- by Anna MerlanOver the summer and into the fall, several figures in the MAGA-aligned election denial movement started promoting a novel claim. Before the midterms, they suggested, proof would emerge that the Chinese Communist Party has tried to rig past elections. Armed with this evidence, they claimed, Donald Trump would have no choice but to declare a […]
- by Alex NguyenThe Democratic Party’s reactions to Rep. Haley Stevens’ sudden decision to walk back her endorsement of US Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and back Republican Mike Rogers have been scathing, to put it mildly.

- by Sophie HurwitzHaley Stevens, the onetime Senatorial candidate who outspent Abdul El-Sayed 12 to 1 and still somehow lost the Michigan Democratic primary, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers this afternoon—two days out from the election. Stevens’ staff resigned en masse, and the Michigan Democratic Party quickly put out statements condemning her “eleventh-hour distractions.” But whoever’s left on her […]
- by Bích Ngọc CaoIt seems like everyone I know has a photo with Dolores Huerta. My social media feed has been flooded with photos of her with my friends and acquaintances since her family announced her passing, at age 96, this week. We all have photos with her because Dolores was generous with her time, and she lived […]

- by John AmatoI have been remiss not to look in on the Onion for a while. Their latest Pete Hegseth satire is uncomfortably all too close to his reality with this freak. United States Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced an ambitious new plan to "kill everyone" within the next two years. But is this a realistic goal, […]
- by Chris capper LiebenthalSen. Ron Johnson, being the good little Trump toady that he is, went on Fox News to cry election fraud and illegal politicking over the fact that two candidates in Alaska had the same name. He made many baseless accusations of cheating and illegal politicking without offering any evidence. What he said after that caused […]
- by David EdwardsVice President JD Vance called a Democratic congressional candidate an “a—,” then traced his swearing to his grandmother, a “devout Christian” who “loved the F-word.” Vance spoke Monday at an election-eve rally in Rome, New York, for Republican Anthony Constantino.

- by John AmatoFrom her actions as Donald Trump's Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins hates the least of us, by reveling in kicking people off of Medicaid and SNAP programs and lying about the reasons why to justify Trump's tax cuts for the very wealthy.

- by Andrea ThompsonIt's certainly safe to say that there is no love lost between Donald J. Trump and his niece, Mary Trump, who has centered herself as one of her uncle's most staunch and vocal critics, regularly warning Americans that she personally knows just how dangerous that man is, always has been, and always will be. But […]
