- If you want to know what races and stuff to watch, here’s a good sampling:
- 50 election-related items (like Scott Walker’s bald spot)
- 10 crucial states (like Colorado, which is holding an all-mail election)
- Tun, tun, tun, tun! Republicans!! (History does tend to repeat itself.)
- 7 things that will almost definitely happen (like, Republicans will pretty much take those six seats in the Senate to gain a majority)
- Ukraine separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko is sworn into office as the head of the Donetsk People’s Republic.
- The Mexican mayor suspected of ordering the murder of 43 students, Jose Luis Abarca, is arrested along with his wife, Maria de los Angeles Pineda.
- The White House says that Ferguson’s no-fly zone shouldn’t have restricted media.
- Two more nuclear commanders are fired by the Air Force.
- After losing even more monthly subscribers, Sprint is cutting 6.5 percent of its workers.
- Amazon Prime is now allowing unlimited photos storage.
- Taylor Swift leaves Spotify; she’s not the only recording artists who’s not there, either.
