Three days later, Stevens says she is endorsing Republican Mike Rogers.
When you do vote, will you be voting for Abdul El-Sayed?
Haley Stevens: "Of course, I'm voting, you know, for our Democratic nominee for Senate. I'm voting for the democratic ticket, but I want to encourage, you know, this campaign to shut out the hate and to call it out and to make people who were in my coalition, right, make them feel comfortable about coming to the polls."

27 years ago today, we lost my dad.
Sweetness. The man whose smile could light up a whole city and whose heart never stopped running. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him.
What keeps me going is seeing how much you all still love him. The stories, the memories, the way you keep his name and spirit alive… it means everything to our family.
Thank you for never forgetting him. Thank you for carrying his legacy with us all these years.
We’re good down here, Pop. The family’s strong, and your Sweetness lives on in every person you touched.

🚨Innocent Healthcare Worker Held at Gunpoint in Houston Case of Mistaken Identity
A medical professional was brutally targeted, misidentified, slammed onto concrete, and held at gunpoint by Houston Police officers only to be released without a single word of apology.
They were looking for a suspect related to a car theft. They admitted they misidentified her.
She has since been treated at the hospital and is actively seeking legal representation and community assistance.
The physical and emotional trauma inflicted by this unwarranted brutality has deeply impacted both her and her family. No one should ever have to fear for their safety while commuting to serve others.
We need justice, accountability, and answers.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

Just an official White House account publishing a clip in which the president calls for the prosecution his political opponents -- including the Senate Dem Leader and the lawyer who regularly defeats his voter suppression and election subversion schemes.

It turns out that the person who dressed his children as Russian monsters for Halloween at the White House was Stephen Miller, Trump's homeland security adviser, a conspiracy theorist, Nazi, racist, and opponent of military aid to Ukraine (although, on that last point, they're all pretty much the same).
Now, a clarification regarding the supposedly Russian military uniform worn by Miller's son. The boy was wearing a Soviet military cap, a patch featuring the insignia of Russia's tank forces, and camouflage resembling the U.S. Marine Corps' MARPAT pattern. In other words, it wasn't an actual Russian military uniform but a peculiar hybrid costume assembled from different elements.
Unlike the boy, whose military outfit consisted of mismatched pieces, Miller's daughter's costume appeared to follow a fairly consistent Russian folk style.

Let me make this abundantly clear. This is illegal. This is excessive force.
This agent deserves to be suspended without pay and criminally charged. If anybody knows his name, please contact me. The woman should also sue him.

Hold Markwayne Mullin, Tom Homan and Marco Rubio accountable for this mass murder. They are accessories.

👼🏻4 months old. Sleeping in his mother’s arms. Russia killed them both.
Tymofiy Haidarzhy, 4 months old.
On March 2, 2024, a Russian Shahed drone hit a residential building in Odesa.
He was found under the rubble in the arms of his 31-year-old mother Anna. They were asleep.
His father and older sister survived because they were in another room.
This was not an “accident.” This was a Russian strike on civilians.

🚨 A white cop tased a Black Army veteran 7 times while he was coming out of a seizure on his own front lawn and EMS was treating him.
"HE JUST HAD A SEIZURE, BRO, BACK THE F*** UP OFF HIM!"
Chattahoochee, FL
Dwight Jackson was putting up Halloween decorations when he had a seizure and collapsed. His brother called 911.
EMS was treating him when the officer showed up, shoved everyone aside and jumped on top of him.
On camera, the officer claims Jackson was "actively grabbing my throat." His brother screams over and over that Jackson just had a seizure.
Then the officer turns to EMS and says, "Help us restrain him."
Jackson says it was "more terrifying than being in the war."
The officer has been fired. Jackson was never booked into jail. He says they sat him in the back of a patrol car, then let him go.
Should this officer be charged with a crime, or is firing him enough?

Fire this cop and charge him with assault. Florida
Police shoot Black man having a seizure with taser—7 times.
He was putting up Halloween decorations outside his own home.
EMS was treating him after he collapsed in his yard.
"All of a sudden a cop shows up, shoves everyone out the way, and jumps on top of him," brother said.
The officer has only been identified as Sgt. Price with the Chattahoochee Police Department.
He claims he was just trying to assist EMS with a "combative individual" and encountered "physical resistance."
Dwight Jackson is the man attacked by the cop.
He says was not intentionally combative—was defenseless and only experiencing a medical emergency.
Dwight Jackson described the experience as being "more terrifying than being in the war."
Incident occurred outside his house on Chattahoochee Street in Chattahoochee, Florida.

We made a promise to our Afghan allies—that after aiding & protecting our troops during the conflict in Afghanistan, America would not abandon them. This Administration is betraying that promise, deporting them to potential torture & death. nytimes.com/2026/10/30/world…
This makes me ill.
