If you’re looking to participate in #GivingTuesday but don’t know where to start, we have good news: @nytopinion’s Giving Guide is back for its second year. For those who can, consider supporting one of the organizations our writers have chosen: nyti.ms/3GSQ2MT
Read recommendations from @NickKristof, who initiated the Giving Guide effort years ago. He notes organizations that welcome refugees to the United States, help families feed themselves and more. nyti.ms/3ikGmRa
.@jbouie emphasizes giving locally to support reproductive rights, reduce recidivism and promote safety for L.G.B.T.Q. people. nyti.ms/3EFmUWQ
.@lourdesgnavarro offers ideas for charities around the world that you can give to. The best part? “Some of these charities only need tens of thousands of dollars to meet their goals, so a little can go a very long way," she writes. nyti.ms/3gEDuOM
Bret Stephens suggests the Rising Seas Institute, which organized the trip he took to Greenland and helped reorient his thinking about climate change. @gailcollins’ choices benefit low-income families. nyti.ms/3OPFekS
.@tressiemcphd highlights organizations that help the farmers and food producers who make possible the dishes that mean something to you. nyti.ms/3XH7ytC
And @lpolgreen suggests supporting community newspapers. “There is significant evidence that the erosion of local journalism has accelerated some of the worst trends in our civic life,” she writes. nyti.ms/3FbwRwt

- The Jan. 6 investigation
- The Manhattan district attorney’s investigation
- The Georgia election investigation
- The New York State civil case

“Everyone thought the Democrats would be the ones having to explain themselves today,” says @FrankBruni in a chat with @MalloryMcMorrow and @JVLast. “But the underperformance belongs to the Republicans.” nyti.ms/3fPsXj5
On abortion rights:
“Losing a fundamental right we’ve had for nearly 50 years? That wasn’t just a ‘summer blip’ of an issue. It was an earthquake that kept people motivated,” says @MalloryMcMorrow. nyti.ms/3fPsXj5 Image
“Fetterman was a beast of a candidate, who is a great fit for the state and is one potential model for what Democratic populism could look like,” says @JVLast. nyti.ms/3fPsXj5 Image

Many Americans have had enough — and they are ready to vote for change. Ahead of the midterm elections, readers told us which issue is driving them to the polls.

Read a selection below, then tell us: What's your top issue? nyti.ms/3haclCU

“I am one of many ‘little old ladies’ whose pension payments have no inflation adjustments. 20 years after retiring, my monthly income covers less and less. Even modest inflation increases are painful.” — Jane Tedder, 80, silent generation, Lawrence, Kan.

Who will win in these close races? Eight political experts place their bets on the midterm elections. nyti.ms/3FT53hl
“Every swing voter who’s tired of inflation and irritated at the Biden administration but feels compelled to vote Democratic in the governor’s race will be a little more inclined to choose Dr. Oz for Senate,” writes @DouthatNYT. nyti.ms/3FT4WCw Image
“After casting his lot with the extremist and isolationist wing of his party, Mr. Zeldin, a Republican congressman, is too far out of step with the average New Yorker to win,” writes @Dr_CMGreer. nyti.ms/3E8wjab Image

As leaders gather in Egypt for #COP27, Alaa Abd El Fattah has escalated his hunger strike.

“On the night he was brought to prison, he was stripped and beaten in a spectacle inmates call the ‘Welcome Party,’” wrote his mother, Laila Soueif, in 2021. nyti.ms/3hlYxpd
“Why is my son, Alaa Abd El Fattah, in prison?” wrote Laila Soueif. “His crime is that, like millions of young people in Egypt and far beyond, he believed another world was possible. And he dared to try to make it happen.” #COP27 nyti.ms/3hlYxpd
Alaa Abd el-Fattah’s treatment, wrote @zeynep in August, “is an indication of how little care there is left in the world.” nyti.ms/3Ugm4q8
