Skimm'd while bragging that "I voted" already

QUOTE O= THE DAY

"Oh, there goes one right there! Little bit of fall! =t's happening! Winter's coming!" – A photographer who goes by Jeff Foliage is really excited=about the leaves falling. Foliage? In November? Groundbreaking.

IT’S THE FINAL CO=NTDOWN

The Story

You might have heard...there's an election going down tomorrow.

I'm aware. And ready.

You better be. More than 31 million people have reportedly already voted. This =idterm election is expected to be the most expensive one. Ever. And with one day left, there are non=stop headlines.

Like what?

President Trump and former president Obama spent the =eekend on the campaign trail<=a> in some key states. Trump talked up the economy (hey, new jobs report). Obama talked about health=are (and gave the GOP side-eye for trying to get rid of Obamacare). They b=th talked about immigration. Specifically, about the migrant caravan trave=ing from Central America to the US border. Last week, the Pentagon said it=s sending more than 5,000 t=oops to the border. And the prez said he would work to deny asylum for=people who cross illegally. Now these migrants are calling the move "shock=ngly unconstitutional," and are suing the admin.

What else?

Georgia, Georgia, Georgia. Yesterday, its Sec of Stat= Brian Kemp (R) – who's running in a tough race for governor �=80� said he's looking into the Georgia Democratic Party for allegedly trying to hack the state's v=ter registration system. But didn't give any evidence. The state's Dem par=y called the allegations "100 percent false." This comes as he's been gett=ng heat for holding up some a=sentee ballots, which some say is to suppress voters. Meanwhile, a whi=e supremacist group apparently put out a racist robocall targeting his opponent Stacey Abrams (D), w=o could become the country's first black female governor.

Anything else?

Oh, just this...Twitter says it's deleted thousands of suspected fake accounts =E2�� many pretending to be Dems trying to convince people to stay home=on Election Day.

That's a lot.

Yup. Also, weather alert: parts of the midwest, south, and East Coast could get=hit with some bad storms tomorrow. Bring an umbrella and windbreaker.

theSkimm

Tomorrow, you get to decide who runs the country. Sho= up and vote. No Excuses.<=p>

REPEAT AFTER ME...

What people are watching…

Iran= Today, the Trump administration is bringing back sanctions on Iran's oil,=banking, and shipping industries. ICYMI, President Trump is not a fan of t=e 2015 Iran nuclear deal, because he says it wasn't tough enough. Earlier =his year, he pulled the US out of it. Meaning: all the old, pre-deal sanct=ons are new again. This is the final and most intense round yet. The US is=giving eight countries a temporary waiver so they have time to subtract 'I=anian oil' from their business models. The EU is trying to figure out a wa= to work around this – but Iran's economy is still expected to get=hit, hard. Trump hopes these sanctions will lead to a new deal and less Ir=nian money going to militant groups. Iran calls this "economic war" and sa=s it'll keep doing its thing. The sanctions come as Iran celebrated its 1979 US embassy attack. Not =xactly a time that evokes fuzzy US-Iran feelings.

What to say when it all sounds so familiar…

Déjà vu. Brazil's next president is reporte=ly getting ready to crack down on "fake news." Last week, Brazil scooched to the right and elected J=ir Bolsonaro, an anti-establishment candidate who promises to crack down o= crime and corruption. Now, Bolsonaro's calling out the media, particularl= outlets he says are "lying shamelessly." His apparent plan: stop the prac=ice of spending government dollars on ads in outlets he doesn't approve of= It's not expected to make a huge dent. But journalists say they're experi=ncing an uptick in threats and attacks. And that Bolsonaro's anti-media co=ments are having a chilling effect on investigative journalism.

What to say when your roommate says they're moving ou=...

Won't you stay with me? Yesterday, New Caledonia �=80� an island near Australia – said 'non' to separating from France. This comes after year= of tension there between those that wanted to let their French flag fly a=d those that wanted to exit stage left. French President Emmanuel Macron c=lled it a "vote of confidence in the French republic."

What to say when you hear there are good people in the world…

There are also really fast people. Present company excluded.

Who everyone was talking about this weekend…<=b>
