The search for love—along with the desire to understand why it can hurt so bad—has animated fiction for centuries. The Atlantic has chosen 50 titles, including "The Price of Salt" by Patricia Highsmith, that stand out in the canon. See the full list here: theatln.tc/Hmxt5lTP

Where in the world is David Flippo? Our reporter, Noah Lanard, headed to northern Nevada to try something that should be easy for anyone covering a congressional race: finding the candidate. It did not go well.
Tomorrow, Maine decides. I don't owe Washington, Donald Trump, or the billionaires a single thing. I owe the people of Maine everything. We’re not from the left. We’re not from the right. We’re from the bottom, and tomorrow, we’re rising. Polls are open tomorrow. Let's win this thing.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Haley Stevens and a “Violent, Chauvinist Power”
Stevens’s defection from the Democratic vote isn’t a story about party intrigue. It is a story about Stevens waking up and choosing violence. In supporting Mike Rogers, she has allied herself with an ...

The ‘Blacklash’ Is Here
Anger at Trump is driving a surge in Black turnout across the South.

When I hear someone say they don’t plan to vote, it seriously makes me question what kind of person they are. Black folks were forced to pay poll taxes, pass literacy tests, livelihoods and lives just to exercise their right to vote. Eat or vote because you can’t do both. And they still showed up.
There’s a common assumption that most military voters lean Republican. With “Low T Pete” Hegseth in charge, I wouldn’t be so sure that holds. Hegseth isn’t strengthening our military. He’s giving our troops reasons to walk away from it. #SupportTheTroops 🧵
After the 2024 election, I know we all wanted to curl up in a little ball and retreat, but we had a job to do. We’ve spent the last two years staying informed and building a movement through community. Today seemed like an eternity away, but it’s here. So let’s do this. #Vote

You’ll notice the American state media as well as sensationalist grifters like Jake Tapper won’t talk about the orange felon’s obvious rapid decline, but they were more than okay with relentlessly attacking President Biden’s age and mental capacity whilst he was doing good work. They failed us all.
It’s been 247 days since the start of the Iran War. A reminder that you’re paying so much more for the Iran war than they’re telling you.
The Iran war’s other bill—and you’re paying It
The costs go way beyond gas. Delivery fees are up and diapers, baby wipes, and stuffed animals are likely next.

The day before the midterms, the WSJ reports the U.S. has been quietly bombing an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz this evening...all while Trump tells reporters he’s not considering striking Iran. Missile defenses are moving in. Watch what they do, not what they say.
The clearest sign yet of Trump’s paranoia. 📌 The military deployed surface-to-air missiles around Mar-a-Lago, at the request of the Secret Service, citing a “heightened threat environment.” The man who promised to make America safe again needs missile defenses in his own backyard.
This ad is exquisite! 😭😭 Scott Colom is running such an extraordinary campaign. Mississippi get to the polls! Make him a Senator!
🚨🚨🚨 BREAKING: MAGA Mike Rogers confirmed in a new interview that he would vote for a national abortion ban 👇 "I've been very open about that time I was in Congress, having a 100% pro-life rating... This is the only way that I know how to be when I go back to the United States Senate."
$5 million to cover statues with cheap gold. $16 million on the reflecting pool to make it look exactly as it looked before. And $47 billion to open a straight in Iran that was already open. It'll be fun hearing Republicans claim that we can't afford anything after they lose the majority.
Something important is missing from the current dialogue in Michigan over what the Senate candidates offer black voters: what they actually propose to *do* for black Michiganders. ICYMI @citizencohn.bsky.social:

NEW: Trump pardoned J6 patriot Nathan Thornsberry was charged for sexually assaulting a client during a massage.
A federal judge in California has blocked the MAGA regime from threatening to prosecute state or local election officials and workers for simply processing or counting ballots in the 2026 election. Good, we need much more of this pushback against blatant criminal fascism please.
A huge fuck you to Vanity Fair for continuing to attack the Bidens for no reason.
