NEW: President Trump is planning to deliver remarks Monday afternoon at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in D.C., a source familiar with the plans tells me. @NewsNation
The President is expected to provide an update on D.C. and projects in the capital, along with a closing message ahead of the midterms touting the administration’s accomplishments, per source.

Senator Murphy has campaigned continuously, raised funds, and ensured Democratic turnout. We should pray for his complete recovery. Let us finish the task. We appreciate you, Senator Murphy.

Just finished an amazing book called "The Remants." About the author's family ... Mennonite farmers in Stalinist #Russia ... who'd settled there at the invitation of Catherine the Great two centuries earlier. Riveting does not do it justice. Tolstoy on the steppes. Exquisite.

"They killed us." With these words Novaya Gazeta, Russia's most famous independent newspaper, announced it is closing. Six of its people were murdered under Putin.

I have friends who have been killed simply because they wanted the opportunity to vote in free and fair elections.
So, Americans, please exercise the right you have to vote on Tuesday! Or today!
#VOTE!

The level of betrayal here is breathtaking and beyond disgraceful. This is murder. And Markwayne Mullin should be charged as an accessory.

Proud and grateful that Ukraine has a friend like you, José. Thank you to you and the entire World Central Kitchen team for the warmth of your dishes and hearts.
As the great people of Oleshky arrived to Ukraine after a long trip @WCKitchen lead by Yuliya is ready with borscht, and many other Ukranian dishes!
The route was long: from Oleshky through Crimea to Anapa in Russia, then a flight to Belarus and onward by road into Chernihiv region. After a journey like that, warm, good food matters a great deal. #ChefsForUkraine
Proud that the teams were first in Irpin and Bucha, in Kherson….so many special powerful moments! now here…Ukrainians are the best of us!

Women’s reproductive rights are on the ballot.
If you want to protect a woman’s ability to make her own decisions about her life and her body, VOTE.
Amazing.
#OnThisDay Nov 1 1841: On a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, Fr Lucien Galtier dedicates a hastily built log chapel to "St. Paul, apostle of nations." In 1849 the settlement around it is incorporated as St. Paul, a name deemed superior to its previous name "Pig's Eye."
The little log church later serves as a school for the Sisters of St. Joseph, and in 1856 it's dismantled and hauled up the hill to be rebuilt as a historic site on the new campus of St. Joseph's Academy. Unfortunately, this plan isn't clearly communicated to the workmen, who burn the logs to keep warm.

Posting a meme of a Black man as the ultimate example of SNAP fraud is wild when Walmart has the largest number of workers on SNAP. The American people are basically subsidizing the workforce of a company that generates over 700 billion in revenue a year because they won’t pay their workers fair wages. THAT is the type of fraud that’s unfair to American taxpayers.
