Nina Moore of @colgateuniv hosts and is joined by Norrell Edwards of @LeMoyne, @PolSciLukePerry of @uticauniversity, Rick Fenner of @uticauniversity and Anirban Acharya of @LeMoyne to discuss the unexpected twist in the midterm elections. Democrats have positioned themselves to take control of the senate with polling data showing them slightly ahead in several races with republican incumbents.
Find out what our professors think about this swing tonight at 8 on WCNY-TV and PBS.org.

In this @ConversationUS op-ed, @spitzerb (@suny_cortland) explains why the upcoming SCOTUS hearing on assault weapons will “bring to a head the multi-decade dispute over restricting assault weapons that extends far beyond legal arguments.”

Interesting though wrong on most counts. My 7th book on gun policy due out in a few weeks. Happy to sign a copy for you if you send my way. Have a nice day.

Not hard to figure what the Sup. Court is likely to rule when it takes up the constitutionality of assault weapons laws this fall-but one hopes it will consider what these laws are about. My piece: theconversation.com/why-the-…

This great piece by @JRakove is even more impt after today's outrageous decision on voting & elections. Roberts & his five fellow radical partisan hacks rewrite or ignore history & the vision of the framers to fit their own ideological & partisan views. washingtonmonthly.com/2026/0…

An obscure academic just put out a new working paper on American gun ownership that will shape the gun debate, including an imminent Supreme Court case on whether states can ban assault weapons. It deserves more scrutiny than it's going to get. Some thoughts. 🧵
Most famously Gander Airport-inspired the hit musical, “Come from Away”
Canada is so weak and ungrateful they have been an ally (see D-Day) and our top trading partner for decades. In 2026, 25 years after 9/11, one can also recall their help on that day ("Operation Yellow Ribbon") and in our ensuing military actions. @JosephWongUT @JunoBeachCentre
