(Really.) Good morning from the Hive newsroom! “The voting booth is a real-world yet sacrosanct reminder that democracy must be earned—and fought for—in every single election,” Monica Lewinsky [writes]( in a galvanizing essay about the importance of showing up to the polls in the upcoming midterms. “Please, don’t ignore the invitation to save democracy.” “Never one to pass up a chance to make a shameless buck,” Donald Trump is reportedly only giving a fraction of his midterms fundraising to Republican candidates, Eric Lutz [writes](. Meanwhile, Bess Levin [finds]( Trump plotting to “f--k over” Ron DeSantis just two days before the midterms, while Caleb Ecarma [reports]( on Trump ally Scott Perry dropping his lawsuit against the DOJ. Plus, Levin has a [chuckle]( at Elon Musk’s reasoning for buying Twitter: to “help humanity, whom I love.” Thanks for reading!
