President Obama: There seems to be "no line" Vivek Ramaswamy will not cross. "There's a decency that we should expect out of our public officials. And I don't know what's happened where the standards of behavior have gotten so low that somebody can run an ad like that."

MICHIGAN, BRING IT HOME! 🔥 Barack Obama reminds voters to vote Democrat all the way down the ballot. From the top of the ticket to the very last race. No skipping races. No sitting this one out. #BlueWaveIn10Days

Been talking with other dems and we are wondering: Has Trump Finished any of his “projects?” Iran, reflecting pool, east wing, money (multiple promises), the Wall, Mexico to pay for it, infrastructure week, replacing “Obama care”, lower gas prices, grocery prices, release the Epstein files .

Ukraine reported Starlink problems Friday, losing drones and limiting strikes on Russia. Thursday, Trump claimed Musk had restored service. Friday, he admitted he hadn’t even spoken to Musk.

Oh.

Overall, we are seeing some very odd deal talks that are supposedly a part of ending the war in Ukraine. But in fact evidence shows these deals are structured (in the most recent case secretly until now) to financially benefit Russia or business partners of the Trump and Witkoff families.

Where TF to start on Ramaswamy's 'founding fathers' quote? 1. The term 'founding fathers' is a Republican fetishization. 2. They are *not* gods. 3. We don't owe them a fucking thing. 4. You presume heaven is a real. 5. If it's real, you don't know it's like. 6. Dude, you're going to Hell. ...

Also...DROP BOXES ARE FINE THINGS TO USE FOR YOUR BALLOT. You don't have to rely on USPS. Just saying...

Folks! If you're using a mail-in ballot, TRACK ITS RECEIPT. Someone just told me her ballot was never received. She's being sent a new ballot. DOUBLE CHECK YOUR ON-SITE BALLOT WHEN YOU VOTE CHECK THAT MAIL-IN BALLOTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED Sad to say--but double-check EVERYTHING in this election.

Hegseth’s staff broke Eisenhower’s globe. The symbolism is too much to bear. (And of course, they ignored the TRAINED EXPERTS WHO HANDLE HISTORICAL ITEMS. Because EDUCATION? EXPERTISE? WHO NEEDS IT?….im going to get some coffee…)

"Ordinarily, moving historical items within the building is a deliberate process overseen by curators. Hegseth’s staff dispatched its own team to relocate an Eisenhower globe. They dropped it...The resulting gash appears to be several inches wide." wapo.st/3WF2YQo

I voted independent here in Montana. Bankhead out democratic nominee has some shadiness around her and has NOT addressed anything affecting citizens like prices. Bodnar has been talking about affordability and has Veteran backing. If we can change Montana away from republicans this is HUGE.

Blocking press outlets is blocking US. We the people. They are OUR access to what’s happening. There’s a reason why the founding generation saw the press as virtually a fourth branch of government. It endorses accountability—essential for democratic governance.

This is in response to the White House suddenly blocking @andrewfeinberg.com from the print pool today following Trump's tantrum (and the White House's offensive folkowup) yesterday.

Trump on Camp Lejeune water contamination claims: "If we win the House and Senate, I am directing the Department of Justice to settle all remaining legitimate claims as soon as possible ... if we don't win, there's no money."

Joyce is on point here!

This is long. I hope you’ll read it anyway. I’ve brought the tea: claims of noncitizen voting, last minute pre-election charges; it’s the same tired playbook & it's failed before. They’re hoping you don't remember. But knowledge is power. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-reoccu...

A corrupt grifter who contributes absolutely nothing to human civilization and is just a leech trading upon her associations with equally corrupt people to enrich herself while selling out the American people. Vacuous, vapid, immoral, unethical & gross. The MAGA brand personified.

BREAKING: Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help.

Q: Were Medicare and Medicaid mistakes? Vivek Ramaswamy: I believe they were. I think the evidence would show that it has harmed the very people that it was created to actually help

This ad & Ramaswamy's doubling down speaks volumes about his character. To lie about the abuse Acton experienced is abhorrent. To use the abuser is despicable & sadistic. If this is how he behaves on the campaign trail, imagine his depravity with gubernatorial power www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

axios.comExclusive: Ramaswamy doubles down on explosive ad featuring rival's mother, despite backlashRamaswamy is gambling that the deeply personal attack by Amy Acton's mother will resonate with voters.

Wut

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social

My brain cannot process this level of corruption. She was being paid $50 million to engineer a pardon from Trump *while working at the Justice Department* as a "Special Government Employee." And it worked. He got the pardon, and she got the money. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...

The attack ad against Acton is another in a long list of right-wing gotchas that have blown up in their face -- Eric Schmitt's attack on Jack Smith, the conspiracy that Talarico was in rehab, Tommy's heckling of El-Sayed, etc etc. Their echo chambers keep convincing them to do incredibly dumb shit

Dan Hall reposted

Two thoughts: This false, despicable ad is proof that Vivek Ramaswamy knows he is about to lose to Amy Acton. No mother who loves her daughter would do this. Her complicity reveals her.
