Republican Shellie Flockhart, who called Iowa Democratic House candidate Sarah Trone Garriott "dangerous" for kids, actually pleaded guilty to endangering kids herself after authorities said she drove drunk with her children in the car in 2017.

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...

Sounds like Ken likes to party. I hope he's been enjoying himself. Soon he'll have more time to enjoy it.

Yes, yes, the authoritarian president is leading a hate-filled rally in which he urges his followers to physically assault protesters but do NOT call any of these people Nazis or you will make David Brooks sad.
holy shit -- a protester at the Trump rally gets physically assaulted after they interrupt the rally by a man who punches her in the face. Trump smears the protester as a "fat guy"

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.
Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

GOP Sen. Mike Lee today: Thank you, Daddy Trump!
10 years ago today GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter…the way Mr Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world”

Susan Collins is always horrified by the predictable results of her own vote, which means Mainers who genuinely care about Susan Collins should elect Troy Jackson as he won’t vote for things that wind up upsetting Susan Collins, unlike Susan Collins
I think something to consider here is that Collins voted to confirm Russ Vought as OMB Director despite the fact that he said a billion times that he thought Trump had a constitutional right to illegally impound funds, and now she’s doing shocked Pikachu reactions.

See, it's just *not that hard.*
WELKER: Do you think democratic socialists have a place in the Democratic Party? VAN HOLLEN: Yes they do as part of the debate. I think that those in the Dem Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point, because Democratic voters do not want a return to the pre-Trump status quo

Someone on here (@jamellebouie.net?) noted a while back that dealership assholes like Moreno are a bedrock of MAGA politics and the Democrats would be wise to do whatever they can to drive these moronic middlemen out of business.
The best part of this rant was millionaire Bernie Moreno telling the world that he was so infuriated sitting on his couch in 2020 watching Anthony Fauci save people's lives that he had no choice but to sell off all his many car dealerships and run for the Senate. #Hero #Saint #Self-Sacrifice

People need to start getting disbarred for this shit.
The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

About a year ago, a law professor of little respectability claimed on a listserv, looking at his Alma Mater's new class of professors, that they were unqualified DEI hires. His sole source of evidence? Their faculty photos. There are some real nasty pieces of work out there.

I can do far more good for our country doing what I am trained to do than trying to learn skills I have never had or wanted. Can you imagine me in committee meetings?!? (I assume everyone knows I can't even sit still for my webcasts without a fidget spinner, right?)

He didn’t know about this.
Reporter: What's your assessment on Ukraine's strike on Russian oil refineries? Trump: Uhh phrase the question differently please. Reporter: Ukraine delivered strikes on the Russian military factories and on oil refineries, and they ran out of gas. Trump: Uhh Marco why don't you answer that?
