| Results in the special U.S. House election in TN, like nearly all special elections this year, are a 'flashing red light warning sign' for Republicans heading into the 2026 midterm elections. Donald Trump unleashed a tirade of racist remarks demonizing Minnesota's American Somali population. Minneapolis officials vowed they will not assist Trump's federal jack-booted thugs reportedly set to launch another round of immigration raids in the city. Similar raids are also reportedly planned for New Orleans. Plus Desi Doyen has our new 'Green News Report.'

| KPFK: Donald Trump lost again in court, after a federal appeals panel ruled his appointment of Alina Habba as U.S. Attorney for New Jersey was unlawful. A different court upheld a $1 million judgement against Trump for his frivolous lawsuit against Hillary Clinton. New reporting suggests more Republicans plan to follow GOP House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and leave Congress. Democrat Aftyn Behn is shockingly close to winning a special House election in deep red Tennessee. Democrats won most local and county races in New York State in the November elections. Callers weigh in.

| Original airdate 11-5-2025. Democrats won nearly every 2025 election contest on the ballot in about 30 states. Voters issued a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump and Republicans in high-profile and under-the-radar down-ballot races, seizing their first opportunity to register their opinions at the ballot box.

The Nation's JOHN NICHOLS analyzes the results, the remarkable near-clean sweep by Democrats in races across the country, why it happened and what message Dems should learn from it, and much, much more.

| Fallout grows over the capitulation by eight Senate Democrats to vote with all Senate Republicans to end the government shutdown, receiving nothing in return. The majority of Congressional Democrats did NOT capitulate, and may be learning to fight in the Trump era. Utah state judge rejects state Republicans' heavily gerrymandered US House map, implements one fairer to Democratic voters. Trump's approval ratings plummet further. Trump issued full pardons for 77 accomplices who tried to help him steal the 2020 election. Rightwing US Supreme Court will hear challenge to Mississippi's mail-in voting laws.

| Hurricane Melissa continues its path of destruction across the Caribbean. Donald Trump fired everyone on the federal commission charged with approving plans for his $350 million ballroom. NYC Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's proposed popular 'affordability' agenda would be partly funded by a small surcharge on millionaires. In California, a potential 2026 ballot proposal focuses on a one-time tax on the state's billionaires to fund the state's Medicaid program after it was gutted Trump and Congressional Republicans to pay for a $1 trillion tax cut for the richest Americans. The American Prospect's HAROLD MEYERSON discusses the California wealth tax, the many criticisms against such efforts, and much more.

| PLEASE DONATE to KFPK! The corrupted rightwing supermajority on the US Supreme Court appears poised to kill off Sec. 2 of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965, which barred racially discriminatory election practices. Election law expert JOSHUA A. DOUGLAS and redistricting expert DAVID DALEY explain the twisted history of a case heard by the court, Louisiana v. Callais, in which White voters in the state allege that drawing a second Black-majority voting district (reflecting the state's Black population) is unconstitutional racial discrimination against Whites. Douglas and Daley discuss the stakes, why the VRA is still necessary, what happens next, and much more. Plus our new 'Green News Report.'

|
| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! Donald Trump is losing in the polls, in the courts, in attempting to ignite conflict against the American people, and he's lashing out like a toddler, calling for the arrest of elected Democratic officials getting in his way. Republicans supporting Trump's National Guard deployments in Democratic-run states only pretended to support small government and states' rights. The DOJ's weaponized indictment of former FBI Dir. James Comey will likely fail before going to trial. Congressional Republicans are in disarray over their government shutdown as polls show broad support for Congressional Democrats' fight to save healthcare for millions.

| PLEASE DONATE to KPFK! As the government shutdown enters its second week, polls show Americans blame Republicans and Donald Trump. In California, officials announced special procedures for victims of catastrophic wildfires to vote in a Nov. 4 special election, which focused on temporarily setting aside the state's independent redistricting commission to counter Texas' scheme to redraw its U.S. House maps. An Oregon judge halted Trump's attempts to federalize National Guard troops from any state to invade Portland, while an Illinois judge allowed Trump's invasion of Chicago to continue.
