- Kori discussed Republican Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers’s proposal for literacy tests for SNAP and Medicaid recipients.
- Elinor noted that on November 3 Missouri voters will decide whether to repeal abortion protections passed in 2024; the measure, known as Amendment 3, also addresses gender-affirming care for minors.
- Kori reported that Republican Iowa U.S. Senate candidate Ashley Hinson asked supporters for gas money to fund her campaign bus, despite having voted against six House resolutions seeking to end U.S. hostilities with Iran.
