Clear eyes, full hearts, spicy ketchup.

Today, we're launching “Next Up Predictions” with a deep dive into the prediction markets. @BrianQuintenz, @Kalshi board member and former CFTC commissioner, joins me to discuss the policies shaping the industry and how traders are putting these markets to use. Agnese Rozite, founder of @FiftyOneAlpha, explains why investors are becoming prediction traders and use by those other than finance bros. Then, the @NextUpHalperin team weighs in on the weekend’s biggest games, the World Series and who could be named TIME’s Person of the Year.

The final stretch of the 2026 midterms is here, and campaigns are pulling out all the stops. On “2WAY Tonight,” @TriciaOhio and @MSIV12 joined me to break down the latest campaign ads in Michigan, Iowa, and Ohio, the tight race in Minnesota, and the fight to reach every last voter before Election Day. The sprint to November 3 is on. The conversations are happening here: @2WAYTVAPP piped.video/watch?v=XgAdC6zP…

Help get @abdulelsayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at abdulforsenate.com/vote go.abdulforsenate.com We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

Preserving the legacy and story of @realDonaldTrump is an honor and a no brainer !

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people. The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.

Today on “The Morning Meeting,” @KevinPWalling broke down the fundraising gap in South Carolina and why Democrats see an opening. Don't miss his “Stat of the Day.” @LarryOConnor made the case for why the Ilhan Omar story matters—and why right-of-center media and the Dominant Media are focused on different things. We dug into the latest Cook rankings, where campaign money is flowing, and whether affordability, competing corruption stories, or Trump’s own political operation will shape the final 11 days before Election Day.

@MarkHalperin on Trump Administration, the Latest Political News and Democrats Update #2Way #Trump #Democrats #Midterms nitter.siddz.com/i/broadcasts/1RKZzBdnQ…

“The knives are out, ladies and gentlemen, for the Trump political team” ahead of a possible catastrophic loss in the midterms, says @MarkHalperin. “People are starting to share with me just epic stories — I don’t know if they’re true — but if true, epic stories, accusations of all sorts of things, but primarily under the heading of incompetence.”

On tonight’s “2WAY Tonight,” @AMottur made a surprising admission: he’d rather see Democrats lose the Senate than watch Abdul El-Sayed win in Michigan. @kvnsheridan explained why Michigan could be an Overton Window race. @HansNichols approved of the paddle boat. We also covered AOC’s push for Troy Jackson in Maine, new 2028 polling out of New Hampshire, the races shaping up in Ohio, and we screened Sen. Graham’s new ad. Conversations like no other @2WAYTVAPP piped.video/live/5VmQ3ufZsr0…

PS: We need to know more, so we’re also bringing in @HansNichols

What do I know? Not enough. So I invited @AMottur and @kvnsheridan on “2WAY Tonight” to break down the races that could flip control of Congress and reshape statehouses across the country with less than two weeks until Election Day.
