Today's Headlines: Trump had a busy week: he gave himself an A++++++ on the economy, and in a Politico interview, openly admitted he has “no vision for Europe” while praising autocrats like Orban in Hungary and Erdogan in Turkey. European security officials are sounding alarms too, warning that Russia's hybrid warfare campaign—political sabotage, infrastructure attacks, energy manipulation, and propaganda—could escalate into a full-blown war by 2029. Meanwhile, Netanyahu says he speaks to Putin “regularly” to protect Israel's borders, particularly against Syria, so the lines are already being drawn. Over in tech, Elon Musk confessed on Katie Miller's podcast that DOGE was only “somewhat successful” and that if he could do it again, he wouldn't. And the Pentagon, under Pete Hegseth, is rolling out Google's Gemini AI for unclassified work like onboarding and administrative tasks—but the NYT is suing because Hegseth's new press rules forced reporters to sign gag orders or lose access. In Florida, Miami elected its first Democratic mayor in 28 years, Eileen Higgins, a former Peace Corps director and mechanical engineer, ending decades of GOP control and running on a government efficiency platform. Let's travel back to Taylor Swift's October album release real quick, remember the nazi, trad wife chaos around it? Turns out, less than 4% of accounts drove 28% of the conversation, and over 73% of the inflammatory posts came from inauthentic or conspiracy-focused accounts.

Recenta vizită a premierului ungar Viktor Orban la Kremlin are urmări – și urmări nedorite de liderul de la Budapesta. Președintele Poloniei, Karol Nawrocki, a anulat o întâlnire cu prim-ministrul Ungariei, anunță agenția EFE, citată de Agerpres și Caleaeuropeană.ro. Conform unui mesaj publicat pe rețeaua de socializare X de către responsabilul pentru politică internațională în cadrul președinției poloneze, „președintele Nawrocki a decis să limiteze programul vizitei sale în Ungaria exclusiv la summitul președinților Grupului de la Vișegrad”. Liderii țărilor care fac parte din Grupul de la Vișegrad – Polonia, Cehia, Slovacia și Ungaria – se reunesc miercuri în orașul ungar Esztergom. În cadrul vizitei sale în Ungaria pentru această întâlnire, președintele Nawrocki și soția sa urmau să se întâlnească joi, la Budapesta, cu președintele Ungariei, Tamas Sulyok și cu șeful guvernului, Viktor Orban, potrivit cotidianului polonez „Gazeta Wyborcza”. Și alte critici s-au făcut auzite. În marja summitului germano-sloven de vineri, cancelarul german Friedrich Merz a declarat că premierul ungar nu a avut „mandat european”. Premierul sloven Robert Golob a fost de acord cu Merz, afirmând că nu se așteaptă la niciun beneficiu sau avantaj de pe urma acestei vizite. Vizita lui Orbán la Moscova ar putea fi considerată un act ostil împotriva UE, potrivit lui Jacob Kirkegaard, expert în cadrul think-tank-ului Bruegel, care susține că Ungaria sabotează eforturile UE de a obține un acord de pace echitabil pentru Ucraina. Acționând singură, Budapesta subminează, de asemenea, unitatea UE în deciziile cheie privind diversificarea surselor de aprovizionare și renunțarea la combustibilii fosili rusești. De asemenea, Ungaria afectează menținerea presiunii asupra Rusiei prin sancțiuni și integrarea economiei Ucrainei în blocul comunitar. Tomasz Słomka, profesor de științe politice la Universitatea din Varșovia, a declarat pentru postul polonez TV24 că decizia de a anula întâlnirea cu premierul ungar demonstrează că Nawrocki își consolidează independența politică. Atitudinea președintelui polonez este în conformitate cu poziția guvernului, care limitează relațiile sale cu Viktor Orbán. În același timp, este în concordanță cu ceea ce a susținut președintele polonez cu privire la relația sa cu Rusia, a spus expertul, adăugând că Nawrocki se află pe lista persoanelor care sunt deosebit de antipatizate de Moscova. Să nu uităm că alegerea lui Nawrocki ca președinte al Poloniei, la 1 iunie anul acesta, a fost salutată de Viktor Orbán, ca și de către extrema dreaptă din România. Dar atitudinea fermă a președintelui polonez în privința Rusiei îi lasă în afara jocului atât pe liderul de la Budapesta cât și pe admiratorii săi declarați de la extrema dreaptă din România.

Meanwhile, concerns remain for players like Tolu Arokodare, Christantus Uche, Frank Onyeka, and Bright Osayi-Samuel as their game time and performances raise questions about AFCON readiness.Olu also discusses the NFF once again being in the spotlight after failing to arrange matches for the Super Falcons, with Randy Waldrum's old interview resurfacing about poor preparation and interference, and gives the latest injury updates before rounding up with player reviews, starboy of the week, and ones to watch.#SuperEagles #NigeriaFootball #Nigeria Listen to the audio version of the podcast for free on all major podcast platforms here: https://podfollow.com/nigeria-football-weekly/view or https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Follow Nigeria Football Weekly:Twitter - https://twitter.com/NFWPod Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nigeriafootballweekly/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nigeriafootballweekly Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/NigeriaFootballWeekly Linktree - https://linktr.ee/nigeriafootballweekly Email - nigeriafootballweekly@gmail.com (00:00) Intro(01:12) Super Eagles Index: Who's Hot?(11:44) Who's not hot?(13:11) NFF Questioned Again(17:33) Super Eagles Injury Updates(20:33) Premier League (Aina, Awoniyi, Bassey, Iwobi, Chukwueze Onyeka, Arokodare, Uche)(26:33) Championship (Ajayi, Osayi-Samuel)(27:07) Serie A (Lookman, Okoye, Akinsanmiro, Dele-Bashiru, Orban)(28:56) La Liga (Ejuke, Adams, Sadiq)(30:10) Bundesliga (Tella, Boniface, Akpoguma, Torunarigha, Agu)(31:21) Ligue 1 (Moffi, Simon, Awaziem, Ilenikhena, Ojediran)(32:53) Portugal (Sanusi, James)(33:24) Belgium (Onyedika, Sor, Frederick)(34:20) Turkey (Osimhen, Ndidi, Onuachu, Nwakaeme, Dennis)(36:18) Czech Republic (Durosinmi, Ogbu, Moses, Uchenna)(36:57) Greece (Onyemaechi, Dessers)(37:35) Switzerland (Otele)(37:57) Austria (Nwaiwu)(38:05) PSL (Nwabali)(38:23) Starboy of the week(39:56) Ones to watch(41:18) Outro
Donald Trump od roku ponownie jest prezydentem USA i zmienia układ sił w świecie. W tym materiale analizujemy, czy jego polityka może być zagrożeniem dla Unii Europejskiej oraz czy Trump faktycznie staje się grabarzem Europy.

Russlands Präsident Putin sieht den überarbeiteten US-Friedensplan als mögliche Basis für künftige Vereinbarungen, fordert aber den vollständigen Rückzug der Ukraine aus den besetzten Regionen, sonst droht Gewalt. Die USA treiben weiterhin diplomatische Bemühungen voran, Selenskyj kündigt ein Spitzentreffen an, und Ungarns Ministerpräsident Orban reist nach Moskau, um über Energie und Frieden zu sprechen.

Nexperia Europe stuurt een open brief aan het Chinese deel van het concern in een poging het vastgelopen contact en de interne machtsstrijd te herstellen. Bedrijvendokter Anton Wiggers noemt de stap ‘een open uitnodiging om samen tot een oplossing te komen', waarbij zowel diplomatieke druk als economische belangen een rol spelen. Het conflict raakt ook de Europese auto-industrie en wordt nauwlettend gevolgd door overheden aan beide zijden.De Tweede Kamer spreekt zich uit tegen het inhouden van loon van arbeidsmigranten als vergoeding voor huisvesting, maar demissionair minister Mariëlle Paul verzet zich tegen een snelle afschaffing. Raymond Puts - CEO van OTTO Work Force - wijst op het risico van terugkeer van misbruik zonder een gecontroleerde regeling: ‘Het medicijn mag niet erger zijn dan de kwaal', aldus Puts. Dinsdag vindt de stemming over het voorstel plaats, waarbij de discussie zich vooral toespitst op controleerbaarheid en het scheiden van wonen en werken.De Hongaarse premier Viktor Orban reist vandaag naar Moskou voor overleg met de Russische president Vladimir Poetin, zonder afstemming met de Europese Unie. Volgens Hongarije-correspondent Stefan Bos profileert Orban zich als bruggenbouwer, maar blijft het bezoek omstreden binnen Brussel vanwege zijn nauwe banden met Rusland en China. Op de agenda staan onder meer de oorlog in Oekraïne en energiedeals, met extra zorgen over de Hongaarse minderheid in Oekraïne.Deze omschrijving is met AI gemaakt en gecontroleerd door een BNR-redacteur.Over deze podcastIn Ochtendnieuws hoor je in 20 minuten het belangrijkste nieuws van de dag.

V ospredju obiska premierja Roberta Goloba v Nemčiji so žgoča evropska vprašanja, o katerih ima sicer Slovenija podobna stališča kot njena največja trgovinska partnerica. Kancler Friedrich Merz je znova podprl uporabo zamrznjenih ruskih sredstev za Kijev, Golob pa se je obregnil ob obisk madžarskega premierja Viktorja Orbana v Moskvi. Po njegovem Orban že nekaj časa ne igra več za evropsko ekipo.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been at the helm of Hungary for fifteen years. However this could change next April as the opposition Tisza party is consistently leading in the pre-election polls. „We are very confident that we will maintain our leading position. People are increasingly eager for change in society, in the economy, in the life of the whole country. And despite all the oppression people are no longer afraid,“ says Zoltán Tarr.Všechny díly podcastu Interview Plus můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Plusieurs centaines de Lituaniens défilent en ce moment sur l'avenue principale de la capitale Vilnius. Le mouvement de protestation a été initié par le monde de la culture contre la présence d'un parti radical et populiste écarté de justesse du ministère de la Culture. Le mouvement s'est élargi et les manifestants craignent désormais que la Lituanie prenne un virage illibéral. Notre correspondante à Vilnius Marielle Vitureau est allée à la rencontre des Lituaniens se préparant pour la manifestation. Derrière son petit étal, pour soutenir le mouvement, Joris vend des fanions et des T-shirts avec le symbole de la manifestation. Dans un triangle rouge qui fait penser à un panneau de la route, le mot culture tombe à l'eau. « On ment beaucoup en ce moment en politique et ça affecte la culture, le président avait dit qu'il ne nommerait pas un ministre de la Culture issu du parti Aube sur le Niémen et il n'a pas tenu parole ». À lire aussiLituanie: Vilnius, capitale verte européenne pour l'année 2025 Depuis, le ministre a démissionné, mais le parti politique est toujours dans la coalition. C'est cette formation et son chef Remigijus Zemaitaitis qui inquiète le plus Akvile. Devant le musée où elle travaille, le même triangle rouge d'avertissement grand format accueille les visiteurs : « En plus d'être populiste, le chef de ce parti est ouvertement antisémite, pro russe, ça fait partie de leurs plans de s'immiscer dans le domaine de la culture en faisant passer des petits message soi-disant anodins, par exemple en enlevant les drapeaux de l'Ukraine dans les institutions de l'État ». Cette même personnalité politique a aussi remis en question les dépenses pour la défense, les sanctions contre la Russie et a fait de la presse son bouc émissaire. Armée de ciseaux et de peinture, Asta prépare sa pancarte : « Je vais illustrer l'expression lituanienne. Si on laisse entrer les cochons dans l'église, ils monteront sur l'autel. Nous sommes dans cette situation, si on les laisse entrer, ils vont tout saccager. Depuis le retour à l'indépendance, la Lituanie n'a pas connu de plus grand dangers ». À lire aussiLituanie: accord de coalition malgré des inquiétudes sur un mouvement populiste Depuis l'arrivée de cette coalition au pouvoir il y a un an, les mouvements de protestation sont fréquents. Marius Eidukonis est journaliste culturel pour la radio publique : « Depuis 2022, le danger à nos portes rend la situation plus sensible et nerveuse, et quant à tout cela s'ajoute l'apparition de formations politiques douteuses, l'inquiétude grandit, il faut se défendre contre les menaces extérieures et intérieures ». Juta est graphiste, elle a organisé l'atelier pancartes dans un lieu culturel de Vilnius. La défense, ce n'est pas uniquement les soldats. Pour elle, la culture aussi est une arme : « Le secteur culturel est un vecteur pour discuter des sujets d'actualité et échanger des idées. En ce qui concerne l'aide à l'Ukraine, le secteur culturel a été déterminant pour être le porte-parole de ce qui se passait dans le pays ». Beaucoup craignent que la Lituanie ne prenne le virage illibéral de la Hongrie ou de la Slovaquie. Le monde de la culture a été rejoint aussi par les docteurs et les agriculteurs. Tous veulent continuer de monter la garde.
"Konstytucja uwiera Prawo i Sprawiedliwość i prezydenta Karola Nawrockiego. Oni chcieliby mieć taką władzę, jaką ma premier Orban na Węgrzech. Władze mają współpracować, a nie sobie przeszkadzać. O tym jasno mówi konstytucja" – stwierdził w Popołudniowej rozmowie w RMF FM prof. Marcin Matczak, prawnik i wykładowca Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Ocenił, że "prezydent szantażuje sędziów", czym nawiązał do decyzji Karola Nawrockiego o odmowie podpisania nominacji 46 sędziów.

The Super Eagles Index is back, featuring the players who are red hot like Victor Osimhen, Chidozie Awaziem, Raphael Onyedika, and Paul Onuachu and those who are struggling for form or playing time, including Zaidu Sanusi, Bruno Onyemaechi, and Tolu Arokodare.With the international break just days away, Olu discusses who deserves a call-up, who needs to step up, and what these performances could mean for Nigeria's chances of booking a spot at the 2026 World Cup.(00:00) Intro(01:51) Players in hot form(10:52) Players not in hot form(15:09) Right back concerns(20:09) Premier League (Aina, Awoniyi, Bassey, Iwobi, Chukwueze Onyeka, Arokodare, Uche)(29:03) Championship (Ajayi, Osayi-Samuel)(29:48) Serie A (Lookman, Akinsanmiro, Dele-Bashiru, Orban, Okoye)(33:34) La Liga (Ejuke, Adams, Sadiq)(34:38) Bundesliga (Tella, Boniface, Akpoguma, Torunarigha, Agu)(36:59) Ligue 1 (Moffi, Simon, Awaziem, Ilenikhena, Ojediran)(37:42) Belgium (Onyedika, Sor, Frederick)(38:12) Turkey (Osimhen, Ndidi, Onuachu, Nwakaeme, Dennis)(39:53) Czech Republic (Durosinmi, Ogbu, Moses, Uchenna)(40:37) Greece (Onyemaechi, Dessers)(40:55) Switzerland (Otele)(41:07) PSL (Nwabali)(41:41) Starboy of the week(42:56) Ones to watch(43:48) Outro

Madžarska bo za eno leto oproščena ameriških sankcij v povezavi z uvozom ruskih energentov. Bela hiša je izjemo za Budimpešto napovedala po včerajšnjem obisku madžarskega premierja Viktorja Orbana pri ameriškem predsedniku Donaldu Trumpu. Ta je dejal, da Madžarska težko dobi nafto in plin z drugih območij, saj nima morja in pristanišč. Voditelja sta med drugim govorila o vojni v Ukrajini in odnosih z Rusijo, pri čemer je Orban zatrdil, da Zahod glede tega ni enoten. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Na srečanju voditeljev pred podnebno konferenco slišati opozorila pred posledicami vojn na podnebje. - Vlada in sindikati javnega sektorja še brez soglasja o izplačevanju delovne uspešnosti po novem. - Startna mesta na pohodu po Levstikovi poti od Litije do Čateža odprta še dve uri.
Madžarska je včeraj dosegla enoletni izvzem iz ameriških sankcij glede dobave ruske nafte. Kot zatrjuje ameriški predsednik Donald Trump, se je za to odločil, ker Madžarska nima pristanišč in je zato v težavnem položaju, v nasprotju z drugmih evropskimi državami, ki imajo dostop do morja. Druge teme: - Na Hrvaškem protesti po ukrepanju v zvezi z ustaško obarvanimi incidenti - Ortopedi v prihodnosti pričakujejo veliko vlogo umetne inteligence pri operacijah in zdravljenju - Kako bo na delo policistov ob martinovanju vplivala odločitev ustavnega sodišča o alkotestih?
President Donald Trump is set to meet with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban at the White House on Friday. It is the first bilateral meeting between the two leaders since Trump's return to office in January. The two leaders are expected to discuss Hungary's reliance on Russian oil. Trump has insisted that European nations stop buying Russian petroleum products as a way of slashing Moscow's funding for its war in Ukraine.Some 40 airports across the United States are being forced to decrease the number of flights, starting on Friday. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced the decision on Wednesday, as it struggles with personnel shortages due to the ongoing government shutdown.
Viktor Orban e Vladimir Putin sono politicamente allineati, ma di recente Washington ha criticato l'Ungheria per l'importazione di petrolio russo. Allo stesso tempo, il legame tra il leader ungherese e Vladimir Putin potrebbe essere per Trump una carta da giocare per arrivare ad un accordo sul conflitto in Ucraina. Ne parliamo con Arturo Varvelli, direttore della sede romana dello European Council on Foreign Realations, e con Mattia Diletti, professore di scienza politica e public policy alla Sapienza Università di Roma.

The man Donald Trump has called a "great leader", and who has long provoked admiration in MAGA circles, suddenly finds himself in an unusual position – at odds with the US president on an issue of critical importance. Viktor Orban, Hungary's prime minister, is visiting the White House on Friday to try to resolve a dispute over Russian oil and gas. Orban wants to keep buying it, but Trump wants countries to wean themselves off Russian energy and help put the brakes on Russia's war in Ukraine. Will Trump choose to keep an old friend close, or put pressure on Putin? We speak to Nick Thorpe, the BBC's correspondent in Budapest, who has covered Orban since the 1980s.

The global rise of the authoritarian right has confounded classification and led to contentious debates on the left. Do politicians like Modi, Bolsonaro, Orban, and Trump represent an extreme form of right-wing populism? Or are they fascists, as some claim? Historian and scholar of populism and fascism Federico Finchelstein argues that we're seeing something new — a phenomenon that blurs the lines between the two. Federico Finchelstein, The Wannabe Fascists: A Guide to Understanding the Greatest Threat to Democracy UC Press, 2024 The post The Populist-Fascist Hybrid appeared first on KPFA.
From the United States to China and from Brazil to India, an authoritarian approach to news is spreading across the world. Increasingly, the media is no longer a check on power or a source of objective information but a means by which governments and leaders can propagate their versions of reality, however biased or false. In Dictating Reality: The Global Battle to Control the News (Columbia UP, 2025), Dr. Martin Moore and Dr. Thomas Colley show how states are battling to control and shape the news in order to entrench their power, evade scrutiny, and ensure that their political narratives are accepted. Combining in-depth analyses of seven countries with a compelling range of stories and characters from around the world, they demonstrate the unprecedented scale and scope of governments' efforts to take control of the media. Dictating Reality details how Xi's China, Putin's Russia, Modi's India, AMLO's Mexico, Bolsonaro's Brazil, and Orban's Hungary have all sought, in their different ways, to exploit news to manufacture alternative realities—and how their methods have taken hold in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other democracies. Combining keen analysis of contemporary world events with years of original research, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how authoritarian leaders use the media, why more and more people are living in different realities, and the ways democracy is under threat. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Ukrepi, uvedeni čez noč, navadno ne prinašajo dobrih sprememb, po napovedi vladnega svežnja zakonov za zagotavljanje varnosti po incidentu v Novem mestu opozarja stroka. Predvsem pri širjenju policijskih pooblastil ni povsem jasno, ali bodo tudi ustavno sprejemljivi. Odvetnik Blaž Kovačič Mlinar zato poziva k boljšem izkoriščanju obstoječih ukrepov pred uvajanjem novih, saj morda sistemsko ne bodo zdržali. Pomisleke ima tudi opozicija, ki po odstopu ministrov za pravosodje in notranje zadeve zahteva odgovornost tudi drugod. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - NSi in SDS vložili interpelacijo zoper ministra za delo Luko Mesca. - Je v Gazi sploh še mogoče govoriti o premirju? - Orban v Rimu o vojni v Ukrajini in obrambnih mehanizmih.

Il Primo Ministro Benjamin Netanyahu ha ordinato nuovi bombardamenti sulla Striscia di Gaza dopo aver accusato Hamas di non rispettare il cessate-il-fuoco. Dopo tre settimane, fatte di accuse di reciproche, è già la fine della tregua? Per tutti gli aggiornamenti sentiamo Nello Del Gatto, giornalista e analista da Gerusalemme. Dopo la visita di ieri alla Presidente del Consiglio, Orban oggi ha incontrato il Vicepremier Matteo Salvini. Il Ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani ha però precisato che la politica estera spetta alla Premier e a lui, e che la posizione dell'Italia è chiara: "siamo dalla parte di Kiev". Commentiamo la giornata insieme a Emilia Patta, commentatrice politica de Il Sole 24 Ore. Un ennesimo femminicidio riporta al centro dell'attenzione i braccialetti elettronici. Parliamo di questo strumento, che spesso rivela tutti i suoi limiti, insieme a Michele Vitiello, Perito Tecnico Informatico e Consulente Informatico Forense per circa 90 Uffici Giudiziari tra Procure e Tribunali.

What do Stalin, Trump, and Viktor Orbán have in common? They're all fragile men terrified of truth, artists, and of anyone with a moral compass. In this week's Gaslit Nation, we talk with 91-year-old Peter Hidas, who as a young student helped ignite the 1956 Hungarian Uprising, a movement born of courage and faith in a better world. Peter's story is a testament to what ordinary people can do when they refuse to bow to tyranny. The revolts that shook the Iron Curtain in 1956 laid the groundwork for the movements that would one day bring down the Soviet empire, to the unforgettable soundtrack of Swan Lake played on repeat on Soviet TV by a collapsing regime. Today, a new generation of brave Russians has reclaimed that symbol: the “Swan Lake Collective” is being played by artists on the streets of Russia, creating a rallying cry “Let the swans dance!” for peace, freedom, and the end of Putin's Fox News–style dictatorship. Gaslit Nation is here to remind you that Putin's days are numbered. This week's show also celebrates the heroes of the No Kings protests, the Gen Z meme pirates toppling corruption crime sprees pretending to be governments, how Trump and Putin might try to save Orban's doomed April 2026 election, and more. So keep marching. Keep creating.That's how we win. The song featured in this week's episode is “Election Day” by The Spiders.

For the final episode in this series David talks to historian Ayse Zarakol about the prospects for democracy in the age of strongman politics, from Trump to Erdogan, from Orban to Modi. Where did the strongmen come from? How unusual is this kind of politics in the broad sweep of history? Does democracy have the wherewithal to resist its pull? And if not, what happens next? The 4th film in our autumn season at the Regent Street Cinema in London is coming up on Wednesday 5th November: a screening of Derek Jarman's Wittgenstein followed by a live recording of PPF with writer and philosopher Nikhil Krishnan.

Listen, we heard Trump today at the U.N. talking crazy, but also saying Ukraine can get its territories back, and then some. As in, occupy Russia? We'll get into all that in this week's bonus show out later this week for our Patreon members. We'll also break down the crime cabal of Epstein, Trump, and Russia. More soon. For now, Happy New Year! 5786, to be precise. As Jewish families dip apples in honey and blow the shofar, we'd all do well to take inspiration: resilience is the tradition. Which is good, because democracy needs that same resilience right now. Fox News will tell you New York is a crime-hive communist brothel, while Donald Trump–the convicted felon, enthusiastic coup-plotter, and Orban fanboy–cheers on Christian nationalism like it's a Russian gift basket of underage girls. Thanks to Trump, RFK Jr.–a human centipede of conspiracies–used our tax dollars to declare war on Tylenol. MAGA and their Christian nationalist Charlie Kirk tent revival want to drag us back to an idealized 1950s where everyone smoked indoors for their health and also had polio. With MAGA using Charlie Kirk's laser light show memorial to fire up their base, we must and can fight back. That all-important work is in the states. Look to Virginia: a bellwether of the 2026 midterms. This week's guest, Shawn Werner, Organizing and Political Director of Sister District, joins Gaslit Nation to explain why the 2026 midterms start now. But will we even have elections? Here's some hope: groups like Sister District and the Democracy Security Project are training volunteers, protecting elections, and building the infrastructure we need to out-organize the new Jim Crow. Races to watch on election night, for any indication of a blue and angry red MAGA-regrets wave, include Kimberly Pope Adams in House District 82, Lily Franklin at Virginia Tech in District 41, and Leslie Mehta's campaign for the House of Delegates. Win them, and we prove momentum is on our side–and we lay the groundwork to build a victory engine to overcome Trump's desperate shenanigans in 2026. Consider this episode your official invitation to Gaslit Nation's Halloween Party with Sister District on Wednesday, October 22nd, from 6 to 8 p.m. ET. We'll be dressed up in costumes like our lives depend on it and phonebanking for Virginia. Because democracy cannot defend itself. Fight back now, because fighting back in the MAGA Gulag will be infinitely harder. For more on how to join forces with Sister District in these precious days and weeks ahead, and plant seeds of hope wherever you live, check out SisterDistrict.com. And again, don't miss this week's bonus show on Epstein, Trump, and Russia. Look out for that soon.
