   "We Will Not Be Conquered!" - James Talarico

   TEXAS TURNS BLUE (AND THE BILLIONAIRES GET THE BLUES) Well, THAT happened. Texas turned blue, big money got its ass handed to it, and somewhere Elon Musk is discovering that you can't Venmo your way into owning an entire state. We're talking political earthquakes, unexpected victories, religious hypocrisy, the 50-state strategy, and that strange, unfamiliar sensation called ... HOPE. Pour yourself something. It's a happy rant. New episode of Ranting Out Loud! Listen: https://rantingoutloud.com (https://rantingoutloud.com/)

   Trick or Treat, Vote or Die

   Of all the scary things this Halloween — food diarrhea, measles, a market crash, disappearances, Senator Tim Scott as Mushmouth, five-minute press secretaries and more — we ALSO have an election coming up! We're talking political horror, campaign fatigue, Lady G, questionable endorsements, serial killers, Halloween candy paranoia, and why the real monsters aren't wearing costumes. Plus, Mike wants nothing to do with trick-or-treaters, Chad is dressing as Smee, and Lee is ready to take souls to the polls. 🎃 Happy Halloween. And GO VOTE!

   Presidential ASSpirations and Other Bottoms

   Election anxiety? Check. Halloween anxiety? Check. Billionaires who think they own the world? Oh, honey, CHECK. This week, a political campaign drags a survivor's childhood trauma into the mud, the outrage machine promptly gets outraged about the outrage, and the billionaire class keeps demonstrating that obscene wealth and common sense apparently aren't a package deal. Meanwhile, politicians are glitching, crowds are mysteriously missing, gotcha questions are backfiring, and even some lifelong Republicans are looking at their own party and saying, "Yeah, I can't do this anymore." The bottom is somewhere down there. And the President might just be staring at it.
