In this Halloween edition of American Potential, host David From talks with Heather Andrews, Western States Regional Director for Americans for Prosperity, about Washington State's frightening new housing policy. Lawmakers promised relief for renters with a “rent stabilization” bill—really a rent control measure—that caps rent increases but ignores the real cause of sky-high prices: a massive housing shortage. Heather explains how the law threatens to scare off builders, shrink rental supply, and make affordability even worse for families already struggling to find a place to live. Together, they break down why quick political fixes like rent caps only freeze broken markets in place, and what real reform looks like—tackling zoning restrictions, cutting permit delays, and slashing the $140,000 in government costs it takes just to break ground on a new home in Washington. From Seattle to Spokane, the real solution isn't controlling prices—it's unleashing supply.

Dunaway shares how she found witchcraft before leaving her position as a lawmaker, and how she helps people find magic and power in their own lives.

Lawmakers stayed busy until the end of the fall session, passing several key pieces of legislation.

State Sen. Peter Durant joins WBUR's Morning Edition to discuss how local and national politics have aligned to produce the unusual partisan standoff in a high-stakes moment for food access.

The Illinois General Assembly wrapped up a brief but highly productive fall legislative session in which they tackled the financial problems of mass transit agencies, energy prices, immigration enforcement, and "medical aid in dying" for terminally ill patients. We'll talk with a reporter who was covering it well into the early hours of this morning.

A JetBlue flight made an emergency landing in Tampa, Florida, on Thursday after suffering a flight control issue en route from Cancun, Mexico, to New Jersey. Jet Blue and the FAA said the plane experienced a sudden drop in altitude, resulting in injuries to some passengers. The airline did not disclose the number of injured parties or the severity of their injuries. Local media quoted Tampa Fire Rescue as saying that around 15 to 20 people were taken to hospitals with injuries that were not life-threatening.To celebrate Halloween, the White House opened its gates on Thursday to younger guests. President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump greeted trick-or-treaters on the South Lawn. Children, parents, and families got to meet the first couple and collect full-sized candy bars. The guest list included military, law enforcement, foster, and adoptive families, as well as administration staffers with children.Lawmakers in Washington are out of session amid the stalemate surrounding the month-long government shutdown. New York has declared a state of emergency to dip into local money to provide for $40 million in meals statewide for those who rely on SNAP benefits. Trump is also calling for Republicans to use the so-called "nuclear option" to slash the Senate's 60-vote threshold to a simple majority.

RACHEL REEVES HAS TO GO! Lawmakers can't be lawbreakers.  #JonGaunt #RachelReeves #ReevesMustGo #KeirStarmer #LabourParty #LabourScandal #PoliticalScandal #LawBreakers #OneLawForThem #UKPolitics  Keir Starmer must sack Rachel Reeves if she broke the very law she was proudly promoting just weeks ago.  Labour promised change—but all we've seen is scandal, hypocrisy, and sleaze from day one:

President Donald Trump ended his historic Asia trip with a high-stakes meeting with Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping, calling the talks “a twelve out of ten.” Trump said the two sides struck major deals, cutting tariffs on Chinese goods, resuming U.S. soybean sales, and pledging action on fentanyl. In another development, the president ordered the Pentagon to restart nuclear weapons testing after a 30-year pause, citing rival nations' testing programs.The government shutdown has stretched into day 30, with tensions rising on Capitol Hill over funding for food aid. Lawmakers clashed as SNAP benefits are just days away from expiring. Republicans rejected Democrats' attempt to pass standalone funding, as Democrats demand continued support while health care talks stall.Hurricane Melissa has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm and is now passing over the Bahamas, bringing heavy rain and damaging winds to the islands. Although winds have decreased, officials say dangerous storm surges and rainfall remain a threat. Meanwhile, Jamaica is starting recovery and restoration efforts.

If you or someone you know needs extra support to survive Trump's economic warfare on the American people, to find help near you, enter your zip code in findhelp.org. For decades, Christian nationalists have insisted that controlling women's bodies is a moral crusade. What Irin Carmon shows in her blistering new book, Unbearable: Five Women and the Perils of Pregnancy in America, is that this crusade doesn't just target abortion, it poisons every aspect of pregnancy care in America and forces authoritarianism into our homes and doctor visits. Whether you want to be pregnant or don't, the system is designed to remind you who's in charge: not you. Carmon, an award-winning journalist and coauthor of Notorious RBG, was eight months pregnant when the Supreme Court, stacked with MAGA Mullahs handpicked by a Christian nationalist movement, tossed aside Roe v. Wade. The ruling didn't just ban abortion in swaths of the country; it unleashed slavery-era lawfare, rampant state censorship, and cruelty even for people desperate to carry pregnancies safely. Through the harrowing stories of five women across America, Carmon exposes a healthcare system warped by Christian nationalism. In Alabama, women risk their lives because doctors fear prosecution. In supposedly progressive New York, indifference and red tape mean patients still face shocking neglect. It turns out the war on women is not confined to "red states," it's everywhere, and it threatens our very democracy. What keeps Unbearable from sinking into despair are the moments of solidarity: the defiant doctors, advocates, and ordinary people resisting the grip of religious extremism. This is not just a book about pregnancy. It's a warning: America has allowed Christian nationalism to turn women's bodies into a battlefield. And until we call it what it is–a war on women–nothing will change. Want to hear Gaslit Nation ad-free?
