Defeated Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro and his family have landed in Miami after fleeing his country. This comes a day after they were granted United States visas by the Trump administration.

Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.
NEW: I obtained the full Trumbull County file for Amy Acton's stepfather's 1974 charge which shows that he was indicted for incest involving his 16-year-old biological daughter in 1973. The sheriff was then unable to locate him to serve him a summons in the county and nothing further happened in the case. Donna Arthur, featured in Vivek Ramaswamy's still-running campaign ad, married Cledith the next year in a neighboring county.

Mai Vang met with Rep. Doris Matsui after the ICE raids in Sacramento. Vang: "About halfway into the meeting I asked the Congresswoman, what is your position on immigration? And then she turned to her staff and she said, what's our position on immigration?"

A disabled veteran from Northern Michigan who supports Dr. Abdul called into a radio show and said: “I’ve been campaigning for you since you won the primary… Win, Dr. Sayed, win!” 🥹

BREAKING: US and Israel are readying to launch heavy joint combat operations against Iran right after the midterm elections, with Trump leaning toward a large strike on Iranian nuclear and infrastructure targets immediately after November 3, per the WSJ. It comes as Netanyahu said minutes ago during his speech "We will remove the Iranian threat forever in cooperation with President Trump."

🚨 The NYPD has backed away from a $750,000 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte after New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani faced backlash over the deal, the New York Daily News reported. The department confirmed it is restarting the procurement process and will accept competing bids for the technology, a cell-site simulator that mimics a cell tower to locate and track phones. The three-year deal was for Cognyte's FalcoNet, an AI-driven tracker that can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack. Mamdani's office had said it was "reviewing the proposed contract." The move reopens the contract to other bidders but doesn't drop the technology itself. Full story linked in reply.
⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported. Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia. The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

!! NYPD backing away from its no-bid contract with an Israeli surveillance firm after pushback.
Mamdani admin now backing away from a $750k no-bid contract w/ Israeli surveillance firm (after a Daily News report). “It did not meet the criteria for a sole source procurement, so we are moving to an open, competitive procurement process” PD spox sez nydailynews.com/2026/10/27/n…

Regardless of which war criminal becomes prime minister, Palestinians living under Israeli apartheid will continue to face genocide, land theft, and erasure. We cannot accept lies, excuses, or half-measures from our leaders. We must impose a full arms embargo and sanctions until Palestine is free.

Voters are complaining of messages that briefly took over their phone screens, reading: “Last chance to prevent a left-wing Arab government. Go out and vote.”

The data to me says that if anything the issue of Israel is helpful to El-Sayed in Michigan. He does better among voters who say it's extremely impt to their vote than overall. Most Mich voters & indies want military aid ended or reduced to Israel. AIPAC is deeply unpopular.

Emmy Liss, the director of New York City's child care office, was asked about lessons for other cities. She says you can't "fund it a little bit" and have to "lean all the way in. Child care when done well is expensive. You have to meaningfully invest in it."

Interesting panel with Leila Bozorg, Samuel Levine, Emmy Liss and Errol Schweizer on affordability. Liss says the city had to move quickly on 2-K while there was political momentum and will address "systemic issues as we grow," like worker wages and supporting family providers.

Volunteers, including Dr. Alan Gordon of NJ-11, traveled thousands of miles to help Palestinians harvest olives, and Israeli forces detained them for it. I will continue to demand an end to settler violence and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, backed by Netanyahu.
I’ve been detained by the IDF, along with a group of rabbis & volunteers. We were simply harvesting olives in a grove near Nehalim in the West Bank. The occupation is a crime under international law. Harvesting olives isn’t a crime under any law I know.

For historic context, the total of 2026 @nycDSA delegate voters is slightly larger than @DemSocialists total membership in 2015 at the time of national convention delegate apportionment.
Turnout was about 34% – more than 6,200 members voted, out of a total membership of about 18,500.
