Ramaswamy’s team wanted to drop the Hag from Hell end later this week, much closer to Election Day, to prevent Dr. Acton from being able to fundraise off the backlash and deploy those resources. Oh well. I guess we will never know how that would have gone!

I hope Natalie shows Trump this clip of Harry Enten comparing Obama's popularity with his unpopularity

This week’s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you “a very young boy.”

He'll be fine. His personal hero was also thrown in jail, and used the time to get some writing done.

Fuck these asshole c students man

NEW: Ingram, Texas, was just rebuilding from a devastating flood when its tiny police department enrolled in ICE’s 287(g) deportation program. Within a year, cops would hand over the equivalent of 10% of the town. with @nytimes.com

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

Drew Mehringer runs the biodegradable offense. Starts out with the most it’s ever gonna be and becomes less as time goes on
