Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

if you believe that Melania Trump negotiated a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, I've got a $5,000 Trump dividend and some Melania memecoin to sell you

Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying midterm results. Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

WOW -- Vance *defends* Vivek's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away. Do you think it was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern.

JD Vance: "There is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulent over access to the government than Donald J Trump"

🚨 VILE: Vivek Ramaswamy’s new attack ad against Amy Acton features her estranged mother, who stayed married to the man who sexually abused her daughter at age 12, even after his arrest. Now even conservatives are calling the ad disgusting. The horrifying story behind Vivek’s attack:

We need ads that are a montage of Trump administration fuckups punctuated with JD Vance asking people if they've said thank you

MS NOW reports that Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Jackson said he was too busy to meet with Vance because he was at a "breakfast meet and greet" 😆

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

In a buried report, oil regulators pinpointed nearly 600 wells operating illegally, threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water. Then there were 1,400+ wells that had operated for decades without any limits at all — grandfathered in from an earlier era. (Published March w/ @readfrontier.bsky.social)

UPDATE: Trump was asked what state Zacharia passed the bar exam. Trump deferred to Zacharia to answer. Zacharia said, "When I moved to China." Which makes absolutely no sense. She appears to waive away follow up questions. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Guilfoyle has now reached the stage where Trump pretends he doesn’t really know who she is.

FOX NEWS: If you lose the House, whose fault is that? MIKE JOHNSON: If we lose the House, it will be because the people were misled FOX NEWS: It doesn't fall on your shoulders? MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know how it could. I mean, I'm traveling nonstop

Q: How do you define socialism personally? JD VANCE: I think in reality what it actually means in the American context is you want to replace American workers with foreigners workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports

Trump: "We've used the military a little bit in my second term. All for peace."

Letitia James AND Sally Yates??? AMAZING.

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

NEWS: New York City just recorded the fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders in recorded history through the first nine months of the year. Major crime is down 6.6% citywide, the largest year-to-date drop in 17 years, with declines in all five boroughs. 1/

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "Measles was eliminated back in the year 2000. And now, 26 years later, we’re dealing with it coming roaring back. Pennsylvania has now eclipsed 1,000 cases across 39 counties, with five deaths." Shapiro says amid the outbreak, vaccinations have now doubled.

This always happens when we find out the details a few days later on Trump and Nutlick’s Big Announcements. Art of the Deal.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.

republicans: we are nazis media: do democrats have a Hasan Piker Bin Laden problem?

Trump: "We've gonna shove it up their ass ... They are a bunch of dumb son of a bitches" Remember when presidents had dignity? Here's a lowlight supercut from Trump's rally tonight in Ohio:

The White House’s proposal to penalize nonprofits that help disabled people vote is just part of the Trump administration’s broader attempts to restrict voting access, especially among groups that have historically faced disenfranchisement.

Everyone involved in this process — including the Palantir employees — have to be investigated and probably go to jail.
