NEW: Who's Paying for the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund's Brett Smiley Mailers? helium.elium2.com/victory-fu…
I didn't realize they literally issued a press release
Pope Leo XIV has voted in the midterm elections of the United States, expressing his “belief in the right and the duty of citizens to participate in democratic processes.”
The Holy See Press Office announced on Friday that Pope Leo XIV, an American citizen, "has exercised his right to vote as a United States citizen, whenever he was eligible to do so."
The Press Office confirmed that, “in keeping with this long-standing practice of civic participation, he has submitted his mail-in ballot in Chicago.”
“The Holy Father has also confirmed that, during his years of residence in Peru he exercised his right to vote whenever he was eligible to do so,” noted the statement.

Here’s a golden rule in politics and probably other industries: It’s never the communications staff’s idea to put out a press statement this long.
On the eve of the eve of the eve of our BIG and important election, a unifying moment has arrived, our democratic nominee for U.S Senate disavows the Rebellion PAC ad made by Hasan Piker’s uncle that claims Jews are responsible for America’s economic woes. We have learned from party leaders and emissaries, as reported in the news media that he has.
On Sunday I will join with the Great Democratic leader, Jim Clyburn and Dr El Sayed for a church service in the beautiful city of Detroit.
The political coalition of Black and Jewish voices that have carried Michigan and this country through so many storms to the righteous path of liberal democracy and equal opportunity for all will ring out. Full statement here:
What on earth is this statement.

This is the obvious move to anyone with even a lick of common sense. xitter.gq/adamwren/status/211633…
Scoop: El-Sayed’s campaign is asking Stevens to stay away from all future campaign events in the closing days of the race, two people familiar with the decision told POLITICO,

Oh, also: we asked Pope Leo's longtime friend, the Rev. Mark Francis, who he thinks the pontiff voted for.
“I think you can infer from his constant reiteration of Catholic Social teaching that he would not be voting straight Republican,” he said.
Via @ClaireGiangrave, @AMBankstw and myself:
Pope Leo has cast a ballot in a U.S. election.
We got his voter details: he's registered in IL-1, so he's a constituent of Rep. Jonathan Jackson, son of the late Rev. Jesse Jackson. religionnews.com/2026/10/30/…

Yep. The people who say today he should disavow something he had nothing to do with would be happy to come back a moment later with something else he should disavow that he had nothing to do with, ad infinitum. It's bad faith—an attempt at sabotage—and Abdul is right to dismiss it.
Fantastic statement from @AbdulElSayed - you don’t bow down to bullies, whether Mike Rogers and Donald Trump or Haley Stevens and AIPAC.

Mike Collin has the opposite problem. Since his backside is relatively flat, the trousers are too full in the seat. They are not built for his figure. As such, excess material collapses around his buttocks. The result can look like a diaper.

Oregon’s Secretary of State responding with this letter, which says at the end: “… my name is spelled R-E-A-D, as in ‘read the Constitution’… thank you for your attention to this matter”

3 secretaries of state confirmed to me that they received letters from the Dept of Justice in the last day reminding them to preserve election records (which is already required by law for 22 months) and threatening them with jail time or a fine if they don’t comply. Example:

Close to 290k people voted on the final day of early voting in Georgia, continuing to shatter midterm election records.
~2.7 million in person/2.8 million total, with a turnout that is several % more Black and younger than other years.
Mirrors data from other Southern states 👀
