10.21 | The nanosecond disavowal

Wed » El-Sayed turns Muslim Brotherhood questions to his advantage. On Washington Wednesday: Democratic Socialists’ demands, Sen. Slotkin’s dark warning, Trump vs. Vance on Netanyahu, disappearing Senate debates, and the Medicare for All fine print.

Also: Israel faces its first national election since the October 7 attacks, but there's still been no official inquiry into the security failures. Two estranged daughters return home after four years to say goodbye to the dying family dog. Plus: smart refrigerators stop fridging, and Janie B. Cheaney considers where we look for healing.
