#FLGov candidate Byron Donalds attacked his opponent's support for reproductive rights as women struggle under Florida's extreme abortion ban. "Today, he wants to bring back Roe v. Wade. Just so ridiculous."

Trump admits his $5,000 midterm promise would cost $1 trillion. He’s spent his whole career stiffing contractors and skipping out on bills. Don’t hold your breath for that check to ever come in the mail.

“Please get your herds up a little bit if you don’t mind!” Trump slapped tariffs on beef imports and jacked up prices for families at the grocery store. Now he’s blaming ranchers and their herd sizes and begging them to fix the mess he made.

“The problem is as soon as you stop hitting them, they start rebuilding again…” Trump admits total incompetence in going to war with Iran. After almost nine months he still hasn’t gotten them to agree to a deal, and he has no idea how to end the conflict.

"I thought the price of oil was going to go much, much higher, and I was fully prepared to do it." For the second campaign rally in a row, Trump dismisses Americans suffering from high gas prices. He doesn't care that you're paying more for everything.

“For the last three months we’ve had 1.7% inflation…” If inflation were really 1.7%, Trump wouldn’t have to tell you. You’d feel it at the pump and the grocery store. In reality, costs are up 3.7% from a year ago and climbing.

Donald Trump’s tariffs have forced families to pay more than $2,500 in extra costs and worsened the affordability crisis on his watch. That’s why he’s in Mississippi on a rescue mission for an incumbent senator the week before Election Day.

Breaking down Roger Marshall’s lies on tariffs and the Iran war: Tariffs are not helping American manufacturing. Tariffs ARE causing inflation. The Iran war is raging on with no end in sight, and Kansans are paying the price. #KSSen #KSLeg

Asked about Social Security in the last debate, Eric Pratt said he doesn’t have “all the answers” and “leaders have to look at unpopular options.” #MN02 seniors deserve a leader who will protect their benefits, not put them on the table.

A president confident in his record runs on it. A president scared of his record puts a bounty on the election. Trump knows he’s losing on prices, so he’s offering a $1 million bounty to cast doubt on the votes he’s afraid of.

Trump says the cost of living is “lower than even ideal.” He has never had to sweat the price of a gallon of gas or the cost of groceries. Those of us who actually pay for things are living with 3.7% inflation. Whatever economy Trump is describing, none of us live in it.

Trump says he “wouldn’t have done a lot different” the last 2 years. That means higher prices, a war with Iran, and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP, all signed off by a Republican Congress that never got in his way. Keep them in control and you’ll get more of the same.

JD Vance went to Ohio to defend an ad in which Amy Acton’s mother calls her a liar. Acton’s stepfather was indicted for raping her in 1978, and her mother stood by him. Vance has done this before. Again & again, he has stood with men accused of sexual abuse and against the people who came forward 🧵

Vance called the Wall Street Journal’s report on Trump’s birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein “complete and utter bullshit.” Seven weeks later, Epstein’s estate handed that letter, signed by Trump, to Congress.

From Gaetz to Hegseth to Trump to this week’s attack on Amy Acton, Vance keeps standing with the accused and against the people who came forward. Voters should remember that when he asks for their trust in 2028.

Pete Hegseth’s confirmation as defense secretary deadlocked 50 to 50, with a police report detailing a sexual assault allegation against him already public. Vance cast the tie-breaking vote ton confirm him.

After a jury found Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll, Vance went on national TV and said the verdict had no validity because it came from “extremely left-wing jurisdictions.”

In 2024, Vance escorted Matt Gaetz to meetings with GOP senators to sell his nomination for attorney general. A month later, the House Ethics Committee found substantial evidence Gaetz paid for sex with a 17-year-old girl.

"You can [...] continue to state facts that you want them to be but that's different than they actually are!" Todd Blanche, a man currently suing to stop an election result he hasn’t seen yet, would like everyone to stick to the facts.

Republicans have spent nearly $3 million in campaign cash at Trump’s businesses since he took office. In Congress, they gutted Medicaid and SNAP for him and let his tariffs raise your grocery bill. Trump gets their money and their votes, and working families get left behind.

Paul LePage isn’t worried about paying higher fuel prices this winter — he won't even stick it out for a New England winter. #ME02 "I had a home in Florida, you know, because I'm a snowbird.... I go to Florida in the winter."

Extremist John James celebrated the fall of Roe v. Wade and opposes abortion exceptions for victims of rape and incest. Reproductive freedom is healthcare — something James has spent years fighting against. #MIGov #MIPolitics

Joe Lombardo on funding for domestic violence survivors: “I have a significant control on the purse strings.” His message to advocates? “Convince me this is a priority.” #NVGov #NVpolitics

“I don’t do a lot of shopping personally. My wife goes a lot.” That’s Ralph Alvarado’s excuse for supporting the price hiking tariffs and war — he doesn’t know how expensive his groceries are, anyway. #KY06
