Actor Nicolas Cage told fans that he&#8217;s still &#8220;a little bit homeless&#8221; and living in hotels more than a month after a large sinkhole opened up at his Malibu property.
Cage, 62, was taking questions from the audience at Los Angeles Comic Con on Saturday when someone asked whether his Halloween plans included decorating his hourse or watching a scary movie, Page Six <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/11/02/celebrity-news/nicolas-cage-says-hes-currently-homeless-after-giant-sinkhole-opened-up-next-to-his-l-a-mansion/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social">reported</a>.
&#8220;Absolutely. I’m currently a little bit homeless. Something happened to my house in Malibu, so I’m just sort of living in hotels, so I don’t have normal trick-or-treaters I would like to enjoy tonight,&#8221; he said.
The &#8220;National Treasure&#8221; star said he planned to take his four-year-old daughter, August, trick-or-treating and watch &#8220;The Shining&#8221; after putting her to bed.
&#8220;I am going to watch a movie,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m going to watch a movie where the director was actually nominated for the worst director at the Razzies, called &#8216;The Shining,&#8217; Stanley Kubrick — can you believe that? That is one of my favorite movies ever made, he directed the hell out of that movie.&#8221;

As The Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-earth-just-tried-to-swallow-nicolas-cages-house">previously reported</a>, a large sinkhole opened up at Cage&#8217;s property in September — the apparent result of coastal erosion and heavy rains. A large portion of his driveway was swallowed up when the sinkhole first formed, but no one appeared to be at home at the time.
The Academy Award winner has not been able to live there since, and some neighbors had to evacuate in the immediate aftermath as local authorities assessed the scope of the damage. In total, all 31 homes on the beachfront drive were <a href="https://pagesix.com/2026/11/02/celebrity-news/nicolas-cage-says-hes-currently-homeless-after-giant-sinkhole-opened-up-next-to-his-l-a-mansion/?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost&amp;utm_medium=social">marked as unsafe</a> either due to their proximity to the hole or because the damage made access impossible for residents and emergency services.
Blaming &#8220;the loss of access for Fire and Sheriff’s personnel to respond to medical, fire or law enforcement emergencies,&#8221; the city deemed the house on that stretch of road to be unlivable: &#8220;The collapse of a beachfront driveway extended into the roadway, blocking resident and emergency access.&#8221;

CNN&#8217;s top data analyst warned on Monday that polls predicting major wins for Democrats might not be telling the whole story, even with less than 24 hours until polls open on Election Day.
Harry Enten laid out the numbers, noting that the most recent polling suggested Democrats could come out of the midterm elections with 54 seats in the Senate — but then he explained why those polls might not be a fair indicator of what was to come, and it all hinged on polling trends in the era of President Donald Trump.
In recent elections — specifically between 2018 and 2024 — Enten explained, &#8220;The GOP has beaten the final Senate polling average in close races in states Trump won in the prior election by — look at this — by four-point-one points, by four-point-one points on average.&#8221;
Enten emphasized that he was discussing polling averages rather than individual polls. Applying that historical error to the current Senate map, he said, would give Republicans enough seats to hold their majority.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
&#8220;So let&#8217;s just assume that we do get these polling errors and the GOP is in fact, underestimated. What might that do?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;Well it might do something like this. Hello! Okay, you go from all of a sudden Democrats fall significantly from 54 seats down to 49. Why? Because Alaska goes red, Texas goes red, Kansas goes red, Ohio goes red — and so I think that people should keep in mind that polls are just tools. There are definitely scenarios that are out there in which Republicans could very well hold the United States Senate.&#8221;
Enten also warned that because polling had been so inaccurate in recent years, it was also possible that Democrats could be underestimated.
NBC News ran some interesting numbers that could explain, at least in part, why Republicans might be underestimated in polls that ask specifically about the candidates running.
When voters were asked which party they trusted more on specific issues, <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2117329243378163787">NBC&#8217;s poll</a> found that although Democrats had gained ground since 2024, they may not have gained enough on the issues voters care about.
On immigration, for example, voters favored the GOP by 11 points. On corruption, they preferred Republicans by five points — and on the overall economy, Republicans led by two points. Democrats, by contrast, led by five points on the Iran war and by one point on inflation. The parties were dead even on upholding democracy.

Just hours after Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) announced her endorsement of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) for the U.S. Senate seat in her state, another Michigan Democrat announced he had crossed party lines and backed Rogers as well.
Former Rep. Hansen Clarke posted a joint announcement with his wife of nearly 20 years, Choi Clarke — and in the attached photo, both wore stickers that said &#8220;I&#8217;m cool. I voted.&#8221;
&#8220;Choi Clarke and I stand with Congresswoman Haley Stevens in supporting Mike Rogers for the U.S. Senate,&#8221; Clarke captioned the photo. &#8220;I served with Mike in the U.S. House of Representatives. I know that he is committed to improving the quality of our lives, protecting our nation’s security, and working with Democrats to get the job done.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FHansenClarke%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02sejy8N8xz8E6qtajV8VfyjUxKza2xrTHfSX7wzeRFKafmojZTED4Tz6BWtxasZxrl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="673" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>
Stevens, who said she is still a &#8220;proud Democrat,&#8221; told CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Sunday that she had only recently concluded she could not support her former primary opponent, Abdul El-Sayed. She said she had watched El Sayed become &#8220;angrier and angrier&#8221; as the campaign progressed, raising concerns about his views on Israel and his continued association with radical Twitch streamer and communist sympathizer Hasan Piker.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
She previously voiced her disapproval over an ad promoting El-Sayed that blamed U.S. military aid to Israel for the affordability crisis facing American families. She <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-on-dem-violence-el-sayeds-defeated-primary-opponent-puts-new-anti-israel-ad-on-blast">condemned the ad</a> — and called on El-Sayed to do the same, but he did not.
&#8220;This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days,” Stevens said at the time. “Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.”
Stevens also told reporters Sunday that El-Sayed had told her she was not welcome on his campaign.

Vice President JD Vance conceded to a major parenting fail at a Monday rally appearance in Rome, New York.
Vance, along with President Donald Trump, was in the Empire State to help give a boost to Republican candidates ahead of Tuesday&#8217;s midterm elections — Anthony Constantino, who hopes to fill the seat left by outgoing Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY); and Kailee Buller, who is challenging incumbent Rep. John Mannion (D-NY).
The vice president opened his remarks with a story about his family, as he often does, and recounted what happened when he instructed his children to go through their belongings and find toys to donate to others.
&#8220;&#8216;I&#8217;d like you to identify maybe a couple of toys you&#8217;d like to donate here,'&#8221; he told his daughter, who will turn five in December. &#8220;So she brings me two of her brother&#8217;s toys!&#8221;
The crowd laughed as Vance hung his head, adding, &#8220;I realized that despite my best efforts, ladies and gentlemen, I have apparently raised a Democrat &#8230; stealing her brother&#8217;s toys to give to somebody else.&#8221;
The crowd roared, and Vance pivoted: &#8220;And that&#8217;s what we&#8217;ve got to do in just one day is beat the Democrats and win for America!&#8221;
The vice president concluded his remarks with one last call for Republicans to get out and vote, saying, &#8220;We are fighting for people who love the United States of America, not those who hate it! Get out there and let them know that we are gonna send a message that America belongs to those who love it, not to those who hate it!&#8221;
In addition to every House seat, the state of <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-elections/new-york-results">New York</a> will also elect a governor — either incumbent Kathy Hochul (D-NY) or Republican challenger Bruce Blakeman — and will decide between incumbent Letitia James (D-NY) and Republican challenger Samantha Komatireddy for attorney general.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) defended her decision to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in Michigan&#8217;s U.S. Senate race on Sunday, telling CNN anchor Anderson Cooper that her former primary opponent — Abdul El-Sayed — has been getting &#8220;angrier and angrier&#8221; recently.
&#8220;Your fellow Michigan congresswoman, Debbie Dingell, said that she talked to you at midnight last night, and that you told her you were not going to endorse Mike Rogers. If that is true, what changed between then and this morning?&#8221; Cooper&#8217;s tone was immediately accusatory.
&#8220;Well, look, this is just a weight off my shoulders, okay? Abdul has been getting angrier and angrier,&#8221; Stevens replied. &#8220;I was trying to help, and I endorsed him. That ad was very painful. There are so many Democrats who want to vote for our Democratic nominee, and they&#8217;re just being told, &#8216;hey, this is a party you don&#8217;t belong in,&#8217; or &#8216;this is a campaign you don&#8217;t belong in.'&#8221;
Stevens said earlier on Sunday that she&#8217;d been told in no uncertain terms that she was not welcome on the campaign trail for El-Sayed — and that some of his comments had only reinforced her own feeling that she did not belong with his campaign.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
&#8220;I&#8217;ve never cast a present vote in the Congress. I&#8217;m making a decision here. And, you know, that&#8217;s just where I landed on this,&#8221; Stevens continued. &#8220;I woke up this morning clear-eyed, fresh, and, you know, focused on what was in my heart. And that&#8217;s that, you know, and there&#8217;s a lot of incredible things going on around Michigan. And frankly, this country, with these elections here.&#8221;
Cooper continued to press, his tone still accusatory, trying to get at when exactly Stevens had changed her mind and what had pushed her over the edge.
&#8220;My question, though, is what changed from the phone conversation you had with Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, and waking up refreshed in the morning? Did you talk to anybody? Did you have a long night of the soul? Were you up all night? What — did you have a dream? What happened?&#8221; Cooper asked.
&#8220;No, look, I would just say that, you know, I had some time to, you know, think,&#8221; Stevens replied, noting that she had spoken with Dingell but wasn&#8217;t sure how late they&#8217;d been on the phone.
&#8220;I was there, and just, you know, alone with my thoughts. I was writing things out, and look, this level of anger and the things that we are seeing, we all want Democrats to win. I&#8217;m a really proud Democrat. And by the way, Abdul&#8217;s got every other Democrat with him. He just doesn&#8217;t have me and a few other people who — who love this party,&#8221; Stevens said.
&#8220;I&#8217;m just wondering what changed,&#8221; Cooper said again.
&#8220;Look, look, this is about Abdul getting angrier and angrier and saying, &#8216;I don&#8217;t want these people in my campaign,'&#8221; Stevens said.
&#8220;But he didn&#8217;t get angrier from midnight —&#8221; Cooper protested. &#8220;He didn&#8217;t get angrier from midnight to this morning, so I&#8217;m — I mean, something changed your mind. I&#8217;m just curious.&#8221;
After more back and forth, Stevens concluded, &#8220;The deal is, Anderson, is that, you know what? This is a weight off my shoulders. I&#8217;m being straight with everybody. You know, I&#8217;m trying to help the Democratic Party. I felt the same way with [Graham] Platner and his Nazi tattoo, and then the cases of abuse. And I&#8217;m just one person here. All right? That&#8217;s it. And I&#8217;m voting for Democrats up and down my ballot.&#8221;
Stevens sent waves of panic through the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-lose-it-after-haley-stevens-rejects-el-sayed-and-endorses-republican-mike-rogers">Democrat Party</a> on Sunday when she first attended a church service alongside Rogers and then went public with her endorsement. Most accused her of betraying the party and her own supporters, and a number suggested that she&#8217;d allowed her fiancé — who had previously said he was voting for Rogers — to influence her position.

‘Abdul Was Getting Angrier And Angrier’: Haley Stevens Defends Shocking GOP Endorsement

Haley Stevens Defends Shock GOP Endorsement: 'Abdul Was Getting Angrier And Angrier'

Fox News host Dana Perino tore into Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, mocking him for trying to dictate which questions he&#8217;d allow the press to ask.
Perino, who served as White House press secretary for former President George W. Bush, weighed in on the situation early Sunday afternoon, just hours after El-Sayed&#8217;s opponent in the Democrat primary — Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) — announced her endorsement of his opponent in the general election, former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI).
The conversation began with the ad that had started the firestorm — an ad made by Rebellion PAC that blamed the American affordability crisis on U.S. funding for Israel — and the fact that El-Sayed had never outright condemned it. That had been a sticking point for Stevens, who has always described herself as a non-Jewish Zionist.
&#8220;Even his — the spokespeople on El-Sayed&#8217;s campaign said, &#8216;Oh, he condemned it,&#8217; but he wouldn&#8217;t,&#8221; Perino said. &#8220;And it is so insulting. Everybody should absolutely condemn that, and what was really crazy is you had people on the Democratic side of things even after that ad came out saying that Jews in Michigan have a moral obligation to vote for El-Sayed.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
Perino went on to say that the reaction to Stevens — from a number of Democrats — had been to accuse her of betraying the party ahead of the general election on Tuesday.
&#8220;&#8216;How could she ever look at Barack Obama again?'&#8221; she quoted some as saying, adding, &#8220;And I think no, the difference here is that she was willing to say, &#8216;I am not going to just sit here and take it. All of you expect me to just be called an idiot.'&#8221;
Perino then argued that El-Sayed&#8217;s failure to condemn the ad was &#8220;intentional&#8221; on his part, and predicted that he was &#8220;going to have to pay for it.&#8221;
&#8220;I also love this whole thing of, like, he loves America so much then and he tells every reporter sitting there like, &#8216;You&#8217;re not allowed to ask about this.&#8217; That&#8217;s not how it works,&#8221; she added. &#8220;He answers every question with a question.&#8221;

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) launched into an impression of President Donald Trump while speaking at a rally in Dubuque, Iowa, on Sunday — only to realize that his toughest critic was standing right behind him.
Trump smiled quietly as Johnson recounted a typical phone call from the White House, complete with voices — until Johnson realized that the president was standing right there and immediately dialed it back.
&#8220;[Trump] doesn&#8217;t sleep at all, you understand that?&#8221; Johnson began. &#8220;The man calls me at like one o&#8217;clock in the morning and also at 5:00 a.m.! &#8216;Mike, are you sleeping?!&#8217; No, sir, of course not, sleep is for sissies!&#8221;
&#8220;What&#8217;s on your mind, Mr. President? &#8216;I don&#8217;t know, let&#8217;s talk about—'&#8221; Johnson turned and looked over his shoulder then, realizing that Trump was standing right there. &#8220;I&#8217;m not gonna do the impression in front of you. I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t plan that!&#8221;
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
The audience roared with laughter and Trump just smiled as Johnson took a bow.
&#8220;Imitation is the greatest form of flattery,&#8221; Johnson continued when the applause died down. &#8220;We&#8217;re never going to have a president like this again. God bless him, God bless the president. Thank you.&#8221;
The cheers immediately erupted again.
&#8220;What I was GONNA say before I just ruined my career with the impression —&#8221; Johnson laughed along with the audience before continuing to make his point, namely that he&#8217;d been traveling &#8220;nonstop&#8221; ahead of the election — and that Trump had done the same without appearing any the worse for wear.
Trump has made dozens of stops across the United States in a bid to help Republicans keep control of the House and the Senate after Tuesday&#8217;s general election.
The GOP received a surprise boost on Sunday when Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) announced her <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haley-stevens-was-supposed-to-campaign-with-el-sayed-where-she-showed-up-speaks-volumes">endorsement</a> of former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) for the open U.S. Senate seat in Michigan. Stevens lost a close primary race to Democrat Abdul El-Sayed and voiced concerns about his associations with communist streamer Hasan Piker when she threw her support behind Rogers.
Following her announcement, her fellow Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dems-lose-it-after-haley-stevens-rejects-el-sayed-and-endorses-republican-mike-rogers">tore into</a> Stevens and said that she was &#8220;betraying&#8221; the party. Members of her own staff resigned, lashing out at her and throwing their support behind El-Sayed instead.

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) crossed party lines to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) in the Michigan Senate race on Sunday.
Stevens made the endorsement via X after attending services with Rogers at Perfecting Church in Detroit.
&#8220;Hey Michigan, as you may have seen, our Democratic nominee for U.S., Senate, Abdul, said that I was no longer welcome in his campaign and that I should stay away,&#8221; Stevens began. &#8220;And he&#8217;s right. And that&#8217;s why I am endorsing Mike Rogers for the United States Senate today. I don&#8217;t belong in Abdul&#8217;s campaign. I do not stand with Hasan Piker.&#8221;

&#8220;A dear friend of mine, earlier today, was saying that education is on the ballot and she&#8217;s absolutely right,&#8221; Stevens continued. &#8220;And what our students see, what our children see, and who we are as Michiganders is not hate, and is not what we are getting from our Democratic nominee right now.&#8221;

&#8220;So I am just one person. I love this state,&#8221; she concluded, saying that her campaign had been intended as a &#8220;love letter&#8221; to the state. &#8220;Thus is Phil Hart&#8217;s seat in the U.S. Senate. This is the conscience of the Senate right now, and our Michigan moment. And I&#8217;m just letting you know where I am. I&#8217;m still a very proud Democrat, I still very much believe in everything I voted for and said, and I&#8217;ve worked really hard and will continue to do so in all the ways life&#8217;s opportunities afford. Godspeed and love you all so much.&#8221;
Stevens was initially scheduled to appear at a campaign event with Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, but instead, attended a church service alongside his opponent, Rogers. Within hours of her appearance, Melissa Nann Burke of The Detroit News <a href="https://x.com/nannburke/status/2116942694287385060?s=46">reported</a> that members of Stevens&#8217; official staff had resigned on Sunday.
Stevens was seen entering Perfecting Church, a Pentecostal congregation in Detroit, where Rogers was attending Sunday services. She greeted Rogers with a hug as she entered the building.

Stevens lost to El-Sayed in Michigan&#8217;s Democrat Senate primary, and initially suggested she would back the leftist candidate in the general election. In the last several weeks, however, Stevens has voiced growing concern over El-Sayed — in particular because of an ad that blamed the American affordability crisis on U.S. funding for Israel.
The ad in question, which was initially made for The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur&#8217;s ill-fated presidential run in 2024, claimed that if American families could not afford necessities, it was because taxpayer dollars were being used to pay for Israel to wage war in Gaza.
Stevens <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dem-on-dem-violence-el-sayeds-defeated-primary-opponent-puts-new-anti-israel-ad-on-blast">ripped the ad last week</a>.
&#8220;This type of fearmongering about Israel is wrong. It is not a winning strategy for any state. It does nothing to help Michigan Democrats win up and down the ballot in eight days,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Do we need to lower costs by building more homes, securing people’s health care, and creating a fairer federal tax code? Yes, we do!! How we do so is not by blaming the high costs of our goods on the only Jewish homeland in the world. I want to see Democrats succeed at every level, and that means keeping our focus on lowering costs for Michigan families and reining in this out-of-control President.&#8221;
Just days after the ad dropped, Stevens — who has long described herself as a non-Jewish Zionist — was asked on CNN whether she&#8217;d still support El-Sayed in the general election.
All she would confirm to &#8220;State of the Union&#8221; host Dana Bash was that she was &#8220;still on the [Democrat] team.&#8221;

El-Sayed’s Democratic Rival Endorses GOP’s Rogers In Party Split

Haley Stevens Gives Dems Parting Gift: An Endorsement For Mike Rogers

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/haley-stevens-was-supposed-to-campaign-with-el-sayed-where-she-showed-up-speaks-volumes">crossed party lines</a> on Sunday to endorse former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) for Michigan&#8217;s open U.S. Senate seat, and a number on the Left have already made it clear that they are not okay.
&#8220;Abdul [El-Sayed] made very clear that I was not welcome in his campaign, that he didn’t need me there, that he didn’t want me there. &#8230; My vote for Senate is going to be with Mike Rogers,&#8221; Stevens said. &#8220;We have to stand with country, we can’t stand with hate, we can&#8217;t stand with Hasan Piker&#8230; I stood with my party and I was booed off the stage.&#8221;
Stevens has expressed disgust with El-Sayed&#8217;s close ties to America-hating communist streamer Hasan Piker and criticized a recent ad released by El-Sayed that features commentator Tucker Carlson.
&#8220;This is a despicable betrayal from Rep. Stevens,&#8221; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. &#8220;Senate Democrats are united in our support for Abdul El-Sayed, because we know he will fight for the economic interests of working families in Michigan, unlike Mike Rogers, who is a tool of Donald Trump and billionaire donors.&#8221;
Leftist Mehdi Hasan <a href="https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/2116959181412630940">took to X</a> after Stevens&#8217; endorsement to call her a &#8220;traitor&#8221; to the party, claiming that anyone who&#8217;d supported her in the past should re-evaluate everything.

&#8220;She’s clearly a disturbed, deranged, dishonest woman (less than 48 hours ago she was swearing to the NYT she was backing Abdul) but the bigger question to ask is: how on earth did the Dem establishment put her forward as their candidate? A complete traitor to their party and now an enabler of Trump? There needs to be a lot of soul-searching among centrist former Stevens supporters. Schumer needs to say something for a start!&#8221; he claimed.
Members of Stevens&#8217; own staff resigned en masse, and her former Chief of Staff Justin German released a statement on their behalf swearing loyalty to the Democrat nominee — Abdul El-Sayed — and saying that they were &#8220;heartbroken&#8221; by her decision.

The Michigan Democrat Party released joint statements from party Chair Curtis Hertel and First Vice Chair Portia Roberson, each of whom referred to Rogers as handpicked by President Donald Trump and therefore a threat to Democracy as a whole.

Former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki suggested that Stevens&#8217; fiancé — who announced days earlier that he was supporting Rogers — was <a href="https://x.com/jrpsaki/status/2116947100139237686">influencing her decision</a> to appear alongside Rogers.
MS NOW host Chris Hayes <a href="https://x.com/chrislhayes/status/2116932924805455985">commented</a>, &#8220;Before all this insanity, this race was a kind of natural experiment for the appeal of Bernie-style progressive politics in a contested swing state race. But now Stevens has turned herself into a kind of centrist Ralph Nader if El-Sayed loses.&#8221;
Neera Tanden, a former White House official under President Joe Biden, <a href="https://x.com/neeratanden/status/2116936163776692546">added</a>, &#8220;Standing with Mike Rogers is a betrayal of everything Haley Stevens has fought for her entire career. It&#8217;s also a betrayal of all of her supporters that believed in her.&#8221;
MS NOW brought out Stacey Abrams — who famously insisted that she won the Georgia governor&#8217;s race despite receiving fewer votes than Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) — to talk about Stevens shortly after the announcement. Without a touch of irony, Abrams accused Stevens of acting out of &#8220;sore-loserness&#8221; and claimed that she&#8217;d &#8220;used black people as props.&#8221;

El-Sayed himself, speaking shortly after Stevens endorsed his Republican opponent, made it clear that he wasn&#8217;t going to discuss it: &#8220;If you ask me questions about two folks not here right, I&#8217;m going to be less interested in answering.&#8221;

&#8220;Wow, this is BIG! Congresswoman Haley Stevens, a Highly Respected Democrat, who narrowly lost in the Primary to Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed, and who has been breathlessly wined and dined by the Dumocrats to help in their Michigan Campaign for the United States Senate against Mike Rogers, has just ENDORSED Mike Rogers for Senate!&#8221; he said. &#8220;Her following is huge, and the level of respect from the People of Michigan, especially our African American and Jewish populations, is virtually unparalleled. Haley said what few people are willing to say. She showed great and almost unprecedented loyalty to the Great People of Michigan with what she did. It’s a thing called bravery, and few people have it like just displayed by Congresswoman Haley Stevens!&#8221;

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) said Sunday that a Democrat-led Congress would cut off funding for further military action in Iran, even with American personnel still in the region.
Khanna, speaking to &#8220;Fox News Sunday&#8221; anchor Shannon Bream, said that he would vote to stop all funding for further military action in the ongoing war with Iran — even as American assets and personnel remain in the region.
The conversation began with a question from Bream about an ad — created by Rebellion PAC — that promoted Michigan Democrat Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed and essentially blamed the increased cost of living in the United States on funding sent to Israel. Bream asked whether Khanna would condemn the ad, and he stopped short of doing so — instead, he said he and El-Sayed had both &#8220;disagreed&#8221; with the ad.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/election-hub?utm_campaign=midterms&amp;utm_source=article&amp;utm_medium=banner" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE MIDTERM HUB</a>
Khanna changed the subject when Bream pointed out that disagreement and condemnation are not the same.
Claiming that high gas prices were solely the result of the Iran war, Khanna asserted that those gas prices would come down immediately if Democrats were given control of Congress — because he said that &#8220;on day one&#8221; they would stop all funding for the Iran War.
&#8220;Let me ask you about the plan to do that,&#8221; Bream pushed back. &#8220;You say &#8216;day one,&#8217; does that mean defunding operations — would you defund U.S. military operations while we have assets in that region?&#8221;
&#8220;I would stop the funding — the House and the Senate should stop the funding for any further actions in the Iran War,&#8221; he insisted. &#8220;That&#8217;s what we did to stop the Vietnam War, and we need to stop this war in Iran. And by the way, the president can&#8217;t veto that. The House and the Senate have the power on the appropriations bills.&#8221;
Khanna did not address the fact that cutting off any additional funding while American personnel and assets are still engaged in operations in harm&#8217;s way would likely put them at much greater risk before it brought hostilities to an end.

President Donald Trump issued a statement on Saturday recognizing Reformation Day and its impact on religious liberty and the foundation of the United States.
The White House issued a lengthy statement to commemorate the day in 1517 when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the All Saints&#8217; Church (Castle Church) in Wittenberg, Germany — and noted the impact that the Protestant Reformation he began had on those seeking a place where they could live and worship freely.
&#8220;From the earliest days of our Republic, prayer and faith in Almighty God have stood as the foundation of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness,&#8221; the president wrote. &#8220;This Reformation Day, I send my best wishes to the countless Christians across our country commemorating the Protestant Reformation and its enduring message of salvation by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.&#8221;
Trump went on to share how Luther&#8217;s actions in 1517 — and his efforts to put the Scriptures in the hands of the people — had ultimately led to the first New Testaments printed in English.
&#8220;Five hundred years ago, William Tyndale — inspired by the work of Martin Luther — advanced the Protestant Reformation’s devotion to Holy Scripture through the publication of the first New Testament printed in English, shaping the language of the Bibles that would fortify the faith and resolve of America’s founding generation,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;The Sacred Scriptures helped form the religious convictions that formed our young Nation’s founding ideals of God-given rights and individual liberty, a spiritual inheritance we honor as we continue to reflect on 250 glorious years of American Independence.&#8221;
&#8220;The Bible remains a cornerstone of our Nation’s character and upholds our steadfast devotion to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Guided by an unwavering faith in Jesus Christ, my Administration is working to restore the moral and religious foundations that have sustained our Republic for generations. As President, I will always support citizens of faith and defend their place in the public square, honoring the enduring role of our churches in strengthening families, serving communities, and preserving the core values that have anchored us across the centuries. As Christians across our country unite in faith and fellowship this Reformation Day, I send my heartfelt prayers for a meaningful celebration and encourage each of you to draw renewed strength from God’s Word as we carry forward the blessings of faith and freedom throughout our beloved Nation.&#8221;
Of course, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump also celebrated Halloween — and shared a video of the day&#8217;s festivities as children came to trick-or-treat at the White House.

A shooting at a California Spirit Halloween store left one woman dead and several others injured on Friday evening.
Police in Fairfield, California, said that the shooting took place just before 8:30 pm local time inside the Spirit Halloween store at Solano Town Center, according to a local ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.com/US/1-dead-6-injured-shooting-california-halloween-store/story?id=137730138&amp;cid=social_twitter_abcn">report</a>. They also stated that they believe that the suspect was specifically targeting someone in that store.
&#8220;Based on preliminary information obtained during the investigation, the shooting is believed to have stemmed from a targeted incident involving one suspect inside the Spirit Halloween store,&#8221; a police department statement confirmed.
One women, identified as 31-year-old Constance Hages, died at the scene — and six others were treated for gunshot wounds. Three of the victims — a 16-year-old male, a 19-year-old male, and a 32-year-old male — were taken to the hospital in critical condition. A 23-year-old male is also still hospitalized but his condition is listed as stable.
The last two victims were treated at the hospital and then released — two more males, aged 19 and 43.
Fairfield Chief of Police Dan Marshall addressed the public in a press conference on Friday night, asking anyone who knew anything about the shooting to please contact the department.
&#8220;We encourage anyone in the community with information to contact the Fairfield Police Department,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I know the mall has cameras, so hopefully we&#8217;ll get some of that footage.&#8221;
Family members informed police that Hages was pregnant at the time of her death.
&#8220;Detectives continue to actively investigate this case, reviewing video footage and other evidence to identify the individual responsible for this heinous act of violence,&#8221; police said on Saturday, and although they stated their belief that the shooting had been &#8220;targeted,&#8221; they have not yet given any indication as to who the target may have been. &#8220;Our department extends its deepest condolences to the family and loved ones of the victim who died from their injuries. We also extend our thoughts to the other victims who were injured during this shooting.&#8221;
The FBI&#8217;s Sacramento field office, according to a CNN <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/31/us/shooting-spirit-halloween-store-california?Date=20261031&amp;Profile=CNN&amp;utm_content=1793447881&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter">report</a>, has offered resources to aid the Fairfield Police in their investigation.
&#8220;This is still a very active crime scene. Detectives are speaking with witnesses and diligently working to identify the suspect responsible for this horrific shooting,&#8221; Fairfield Police added.
The <a href="https://nypost.com/2026/10/31/us-news/fbi-deployed-after-shooting-at-spirit-halloween-store-in-fairfield/?utm_medium=social&amp;utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=nypost">shooting</a> in California came just hours after a fatal shooting at a Spirit Halloween store in Michigan. That shooting reportedly stemmed from a disagreement between two individuals and local police have already arrested a suspect in that case.
