Marco Rubio, Hasan Minhaj and Karl Rove to share the news that’s most on their mind. These four prominent African-American women have been on the front lines of American political history for the past three decades. They’ve just released a new book, For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Politics, offering a glimpse at their friendships and career decisions, as well as tips on how to enter a life of public service.

As a result of warmer oceans, our storm seasons are lasting longer. The Carolinas, still recovering from Hurricane Florence, suffered billions of dollars in losses, and we fear it’ll be even worse for the Sunshine State. With Michael, forecasters thought the storm might stall in the lower Gulf, but once you reach the “gumbo bowl,” anything can happen. The death toll, currently at 18, will likely rise, while many are without power and facing months of waiting for insurance assessments before everyday life — from attending school to worshipping in church — can return to normal.

But she garnered respect, so why leave now? The timing of her sudden departure, just weeks before the midterm elections, is interesting given that the Trump administration needs everyone on board. We suspect something’s afoot — and the popular theory that the commander in chief plans to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replace him with Sen. Lindsey Graham, leaving open a Senate seat for Haley to fill, seems more than plausible.

President Trump responded a bit late, but he has vowed “severe punishment” if Khashoggi is dead. It’s time the world stood up to Saudi Arabia by imposing immediate sanctions until they show Khashoggi was not hurt. While he’s not a U.S. citizen, he is a green-card-holding resident of Virginia, and if he was tortured and dismembered, we need to know. Sources: [Washington Post](5bc13309f1ab4e7e358b456a:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/fc1ec307?jwtH=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9&jwtP=eyJpYXQiOjE1Mzk1NDY3NDEsImNkIjoiLmNvcmRpYWwuaW8iLCJjZSI6ODY0MDAsInRrIjoib3p5bGl2ZSIsIm10bElEIjoiNWJjMTNjMDQxYTJjMjkzYTNhOGI0NTc5IiwibGlua1VybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tXC9wb2xpdGljc1wvdHJ1bXAtdm93cy1zZXZlcmUtcHVuaXNobWVudC1pZi11cy1kZXRlcm1pbmVzLXNhdWRpLWFyYWJpYS1raWxsZWQta2hhc2hvZ2dpXC8yMDE4XC8xMFwvMTNcL2RiZWZhNjU4LWNlZTAtMTFlOC05MjBmLWRkNTJlMWFlNDU3MF9zdG9yeS5odG1sP3V0bV90ZXJtPS5hZTlhY2Y4MDdjMjEifQ&jwtS=eEIcGNcMDtI1KPJLT6ll9_xmloIZgC-SO8ZqxJyPE68) [Facebook](5bc13309f1ab4e7e358b456a:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/07867237?jwtH=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9&jwtP=eyJpYXQiOjE1Mzk1NDY3NDEsImNkIjoiLmNvcmRpYWwuaW8iLCJjZSI6ODY0MDAsInRrIjoib3p5bGl2ZSIsIm10bElEIjoiNWJjMzhjZDM0YmFmNGU0NDY5OGI0NTZiIiwibGlua1VybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tXC9zaGFyZXJcL3NoYXJlci5waHA_dT1odHRwczpcL1wvd3d3Lm96eS5jb21cL3ByZXNpZGVudGlhbC1kYWlseS1icmllZlwvcGRiLTg5OTY1XC92YW5pc2hlZC04OTk3NT91dG1fc291cmNlPXBkYiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWVtYWlsJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj0xMDE0MjAxOCZ2YXJpYWJsZT0wOTA4OGMzZjQ1MDlkNjIwY2E1YWQ5NWRjYmI0NjJjYiJ9&jwtS=VIwxiv_Ve-MPzd9QB5_kNuBE7u_j4CowyLrtqgcz0go) [Twitter](5bc13309f1ab4e7e358b456a:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/0257f82a?jwtH=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9&jwtP=eyJpYXQiOjE1Mzk1NDY3NDEsImNkIjoiLmNvcmRpYWwuaW8iLCJjZSI6ODY0MDAsInRrIjoib3p5bGl2ZSIsIm10bElEIjoiNWJjMzhjZDM0YmFmNGU0NDY5OGI0NTZjIiwibGlua1VybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC90d2l0dGVyLmNvbVwvaW50ZW50XC90d2VldD91cmw9aHR0cHM6XC9cL3d3dy5venkuY29tXC9wcmVzaWRlbnRpYWwtZGFpbHktYnJpZWZcL3BkYi04OTk2NVwvdmFuaXNoZWQtODk5NzU_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1wZGImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249MTAxNDIwMTgmdmFyaWFibGU9MDkwODhjM2Y0NTA5ZDYyMGNhNWFkOTVkY2JiNDYyY2IifQ&jwtS=1ZUhFE6UgfgUHupYZgHUh-a4wAM2DCkF7MlOcU-tNEo) [Beware Voter Suppression, Even Before the Storm](5bc13309f1ab4e7e358b456a:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/38a16bfd?jwtH=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9&jwtP=eyJpYXQiOjE1Mzk1NDY3NDEsImNkIjoiLmNvcmRpYWwuaW8iLCJjZSI6ODY0MDAsInRrIjoib3p5bGl2ZSIsIm10bElEIjoiNWJjMzhjZDM0YmFmNGU0NDY5OGI0NTZkIiwibGlua1VybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cub3p5LmNvbVwvcHJlc2lkZW50aWFsLWRhaWx5LWJyaWVmXC9wZGItODk5NjU_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1wZGImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1lbWFpbCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249MTAxNDIwMTgmdmFyaWFibGU9MDkwODhjM2Y0NTA5ZDYyMGNhNWFkOTVkY2JiNDYyY2IjYXJ0aWNsZTg5OTc0In0&jwtS=KVnM_UAu2a3Ce5EeL-Qcdnncwz3cddg32VVM_kXfITE) Go to [Vote.org](5bc13309f1ab4e7e358b456a:ot:591df7fbac0c811781aa5dbc:1/227b290f?jwtH=eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9&jwtP=eyJpYXQiOjE1Mzk1NDY3NDEsImNkIjoiLmNvcmRpYWwuaW8iLCJjZSI6ODY0MDAsInRrIjoib3p5bGl2ZSIsIm10bElEIjoiNWJjMTNjMDQxYTJjMjkzYTNhOGI0NTdlIiwibGlua1VybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cudm90ZS5vcmdcLyJ9&jwtS=5R09BrKdKk-Y5SbqB7Erv00F2zlt1uJR08OqT2vYlp8) and check your voting status. Nothing can be taken for granted, and in districts where candidates are proving disruptive, we need to be mindful of possible voter suppression. Even before Hurricane Michael struck Florida, for example, voter registration tools were down. In Georgia, a hold has been put on more than 53,000 voter registration applications, and nearly 70 percent of them are for African Americans. Surprise, surprise. We’re still a few weeks out, so expect more scandals, and subsequent lawsuits. We must pressure our leaders to push back against voter interference, both foreign and domestic.

Truth is, we feel more empowered than ever before. Rather than simply propping up male candidates as we’ve done throughout history, we are seeing female candidates, for the first time, who weren’t recruited by either party’s national committee but decided on their own to step up. This year, women stopped asking for permission, and we applaud them. Being a public servant today isn’t easy; you’re exposing yourself and your family to enormous scrutiny. So if a woman feels she is qualified and has the passion, she should go for it.

It touches on code-switching, how one navigates an all-White environment, and how to deal with White people who believe they’re “woke,” when really all they have are a few Black friends. This psychological roller coaster follows 16-year-old Starr, who reminds us of so many young Black women today who have to navigate between two worlds to find their true selves.

Donna cooks jambalaya and gumbo, using herbs from her own garden. The four of us enjoy getting together to share good food and conversation — it’s been central to our friendship. And no, we don’t talk just politics; we catch up on everything from job openings — Donna wants to apply for WNBA president, and says she’d actually play in games (WNBA, you’ve been warned) — to our favorite TV shows.

Reverend Barber was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant last week for his street activism and longtime civil rights campaigns on behalf of the poor and to fight voter suppression. But rather than basking in glory, Barber was busy protesting for higher minimum wages and union rights for fast-food workers — and getting arrested for his efforts.

The Reputation star and Rihanna both surprised us this week by turning political. They joined the ranks of people like Yara Shahidi, Kerry Washington and America Ferrera to convey the message that your vote is your power. Swift used Instagram to endorse Phil Bredesen and Jim Cooper, Dems running for Congress in Tennessee, urging fans to register to vote. Meanwhile, Rihanna — who can’t vote herself as she’s not a citizen but a green-card-holder from Barbados — took to Twitter to encourage her fans to vote. We wish more stars would follow suit.
