Today's Top Stories:
Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate says GOP "will never lose another election" if he wins
Hello? Is anyone listening? He's saying it! Out loud! They're going to dismantle democracy! Wisconsin is already one of the most outrageously gerrymandered states in the country — to the point where Democrats literally cannot win the state House even if they get more votes — and Republican Tim Michels is openly bragging about how he's going to create a permanent one-party state. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Beto flips Trump voters in stunning reversal
Our swaggin', swearin', skateboardin' future Texas governor is making quite a case for himself!

No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen: Whoa.
President Biden delivers thundering speech ahead of midterms, calling the elections a "turning point" for democracy
“We must with an overwhelming voice stand against political violence and voter intimidation, period. Stand up and speak against it,” Biden said in a roughly 20-minute speech near the Capitol. “We don’t settle our differences in America with a riot, a mob, or a bullet, or a hammer. We settle them peacefully at the ballot box. We have to be honest with ourselves, though. We have to face this problem. We can’t turn away from it. We can’t pretend it’s just going to solve itself.”
Take Action: Call on President Biden to commit to phasing out fossil fuels!
CVS, Walgreens reach $5 billion deals to settle opioid lawsuits
Once again, the corporations responsible for pumping shocking amounts of deadly, hyperaddictive opioids into American communities are paying a pittance in blood money before returning to business as usual. No wrongdoing was admitted by either company.
Take Action: Demand Congress lower drug prices now!
Trump lawyers saw Justice Thomas as "only chance" to stop 2020 election certification, emails show
All these agonizing months of interminable legal battles were nothing but a delaying tactic. Trump's cronies knew he didn't have a case unless it was put in front of a loyal lapdog — and this alone should be the death knell for Thomas' tenure on the Supreme Court, if the GOP writ large wasn't also dedicated to overturning the 2020 election for Trump.
Exactly zero kids got "rainbow fentanyl" in their Halloween candy
There were 1,542 news stories about how rainbow fent was going to kill your kids on Halloween and precisely ZERO incidents of it actually happening. It's obvious that this was a right-wing, police state-driven narrative to inspire terror in the hearts of American parents that was hysterically picked up and promoted without question by corporate news media right before an election.
The GOP is just a few seats away from passing a national abortion ban
NextGen: Every woman in the country could have her bodily autonomy ripped away from her by radical zealots if we don't win this November. The stakes could not be any higher. NEXTGEN is working around the clock to mobilize young voters and make sure we have the turnout we need to protect our majorities in Congress. Can you chip in to help elect pro-choice Democrats up and down the ballot?
AIPAC spending big with the NRCC to defeat progressive Summer Lee
Once again, the Israeli lobby's political arm is intervening in American politics to derail a young progressive who dared to criticize Israel's atrocious human rights record after already having spent $3 million in a failed effort to defeat her during the Democratic primary earlier this year.
Judge dismisses Mark Meadows lawsuit challenging House 1/6 committee subpoenas
It turns out the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause does protect members of Congress conducting legislative work from frivilous civil lawsuits filed by seditious bozos looking to cover their ass.
No accountability: How a rare effort to compensate Iraqi airstrike victims failed
A grim report from The Intercept details how the US and its allies in the war against ISIS compensated just one of the families of the 8,000 to 13,000 innocent civilians killed by relentless bombing campaigns. The US-led coalition, more concerned with covering up their own responsibility than helping any of the people whose lives they ruined and whose family members they murdered, have only acknowledged 1,417 casualties to date.
Republican door knockers intimidate voters while hunting for phantom fraud
Right-wing extremists cosplaying as vote canvassers are now harrassing and interrogating people door to door, because winning elections on actual substance or policy platforms is clearly not an option for the morally and intellectually decrepit GOP.
I did Nazi that coming

Today’s Action: Get out the vote for pro-choice candidates!
Your vote this year could mean the difference between American women having access to legal, safe abortions or the further criminalization of life-saving reproductive healthcare.
In all 50 states, crucial races up and down the ballot next Tuesday could turn the tide in the we-can’t-believe-we’re-still-having-to-fight-this-fight for abortion rights. The Supreme Court’s disastrous overturning of Roe v. Wade this summer placed the lives of pregnant women throughout the country at even greater risk, with those in red states subjected to extremist trigger laws designed to force them to carry unwanted and dangerous pregnancies to term without exception. We must ensure that no more anti-choice conservatives are elected to public office — lives quite literally depend on it.
The outcome of next Tuesday’s election will make or break legal access to reproductive healthcare in America. Even if you don’t live in a competitive district with a progressive ally on the ballot, there are pro-choice candidates all across the country who need your help reaching voters before November 8th. Sign up to phone bank in support of those candidates any day until Election Day! There are multiple time slots available — find a free hour that works for you and join the fight today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition to demand CNN stop amplifying Mike Pence, and be sure to follow OD Action on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
