In the wake of all this, I hope that at the very least, we never see another think piece lambasting adult children for cutting off ties with their parents.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story.

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.
We found that as of right now 73% of your campaign donation goes back to the consultants and vendors (!!!), four times more than just 20 years ago. Only 13% to ads. Even I was shocked.
Trump - Russian Slaughter Of Ukraine Civilians Is "Frankly Fine"
Monday afternoon, Nova Vodolaha families in Kharkiv were in the central park.
Russia bombed the park with a Geran-3.

Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive.

Many called Jared Kushner corrupt
Many noted he took bribes from Middle Eastern autocrats, especially Saudi Arabia, skewing US foreign policy
And they were right
But as this reveals, he's even more corrupt and took even more money from Middle Eastern autocrats that many, even strong critics, knew

“Raises questions”?? In this Kavanaugh Stop, ICE agents swerve to hit a US citizen, knock him off his bike breaking his arm, tase him, cuff him as he screams in pain, blame him, lie about everything, threaten to charge him for damage to their SUV. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/u...
I am so bereft. This little angel was killed by police for NOTHING. There was ZERO reason to shoot into that vehicle. CNN had a use of force expert who was like, if the vehicle was moving toward officers "the best practice would have been for them to get out of the way." www.cnn.com/2026/10/19/u...
This is Kohen Wiley. He was killed by police in Mississippi after his mother was accused of shoplifting…DIAPERS.
His mother lifted him up to show police there was a baby in the car. The officers shot him OVER A BOX OF DIAPERS.
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.

😳 Trump loses it and SNAPS at a string of reporters, says Ilhan Omar might "go to jail," calls Somalia "a shit house," and boasts that thanks to a new program he announced today Americans "will make millions of dollars by turning others in" during absolutely deranged Oval Office event
Supercut:
In Trump’s America, 1-year-old children are expected to represent themselves in immigration court.
For years, our government has provided vulnerable kids with basic legal representation. Now Trump Administration is stripping that right away,

I know of a mother who was snatched up by ICE as she was boarding a plane to go to her son’s graduation from a military academy. She was not undocumented, had no criminal record, and had been here for decades. She was expelled to a country in Africa she’d never been to before.
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.socialwww.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
Katie Zacharia sat on the advisory board of an organization that calls for women who have abortions to be executed “in the public square,” and for pro-choice Americans to lose their right to hold public office.
Some people Vance has accused of ingratitude or similar:

Trump gloats over killing boaters in the area of the Caribbean: "They think a boat with 5 engines on it that's going 75 miles an hour is fast, but it's not fast compared to a missile"
Billions of dollars’ worth of contracts predicting oil would fall and the S&P 500 would rise were placed about 15 minutes before Trump announced a U-turn on Iran in a post on Truth Social. CFTC staff began to investigate...then were told to lay off. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
Yes, it's a long video.
But I PROMISE, not for a single second will you regret watching these 5 minutes‼️
She's calmly, thoroughly calling out Hegseth's so-called Christianity, layer by layer and it's brilliant.

The U.S. annual budget deficit just hit its highest level since COVID.
The THIRD-LARGEST in American history.
Almost $2 TRILLION in a year.
The government spent 37% more than it collected.
And somehow, this isn’t the biggest financial story in America right now.
Mortgage rates have increased now for
*7 weeks in a row*
They're at the highest levels in almost
*3 years*
This is EXACTLY what Donald Trump said he wants to do
Can't afford to buy a home or even rent an apartment? Now you know why
It's the #CostOfTrumpsCorruption
And we're ALL paying for it
🚨BREAKING: ICE collected tens of millions of voter records, explored undercover investigations against voter registration groups and considered feeding election data into a system used to locate people for deportation as part of an effort to find voter fraud. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
The Trump admin has canceled federal investigations, lawsuits, and penalties for OVER 200 corporations.
Over 40% of those corporations have ties to Trump or his administration.
In this admin, a donation or partnership with Trump could make your legal matters disappear.
4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck.
After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home.
Then they threw his ID out of the truck.
America today is a country where regulators won't allow private companies to air interviews of the opposition on TV, but declare that taxpayer funded propaganda is fine.
That's how this big government bureaucracy is going to keep millions of eligible voters from voting, nearly all because they have foreign or black sounding names. By the time they can prove they are citizens the election will be over.
This is all very well planned, no accidents in US politics.
A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.
Assistant AG for Fraud Colin McDonald: "Apparently 35% of people have never even used their Obamacare account for any health services. That is a statistical impossibility and it's because these are not real people seeking real care. These are fraudsters."

GOP pollsters: Stop making people think of elephants
Vance: It's not an elephant, it's simply a large land mammal with a trunk and tusks. Don't get this twisted like the media does
Hegseth: There's no elephants except in the hearts of the weak
Trump: Oh, elephants? Sure, we did the elephant stuff

Trump's attacks on US higher ed, and Chinese scholars in particular, has been a gift to China's efforts to surge past the US on science and innovation.
One report from Renmin University summed it up: "Thank Trump." 🧵

Sen. Marshall, an MD, co-founded a surgi-center that became a full-service 🏥 raking in 10s of million$ per yr.
He sued patients owing as little as $100 & was suing them while repealing the ACA in the House.
If they didn’t show up in court, he had them arrested. Republicans for debtors prison, eh?
