Oh, Vivek. "Reckless, shameful, and morally depraved"

Columbus Dispatch: The conduct of Vivek Ramaswamy in attacking his rival has been reckless, shameful and morally depraved. Therefore we are pulling our support for Ramaswamy and endorsing his rival, Amy Acton, instead. www.dispatch.com/story/opinio...

Russia is now exempt from the Lindsey O. Graham Russia Sanctions Act. The US government is clearly allied with Putin against Ukraine. Vote Republican enablers out.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Melania Trump’s citizenship needs scrutiny, too. Her EB‑1 visa was not a temporary work visa — it is an immigrant visa that leads directly to a green card. It is typically granted to people with sustained national or international acclaim.

NEWS: Eight major U.S. allies—including Canada, the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan—have issued a joint rebuke of the Trump regime’s sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court. They vow “unwavering support” for the ICC’s independence.

37 more wounded troops. Added quietly. No explanation. Here's the No B.S. truth: when anyone (a vendor, a CEO, a government) revises the numbers without telling you why, the silence IS the message. 861 wounded. Their families deserve the full story.

CEO pay is up 1,316% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 28%. CEOs are now paid 325 TIMES as much as the typical worker in their industry, according to @epi.org Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

I’m sick of this shit! I’m sick of his incompetence. Congress better act now! This idiot has access nuclear codes and is not fit to be President…never has been. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, we are #FedUp and need to remove him from office in January. Period! #SheShed #Pinks

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

Happy belated 102nd birthday to the first Black pitcher in Cardinals history, Bill Greason! From being one of the first Black Marines and fighting in the Battle of Iwo Jima, to the last surviving Negro Leagues player, to a pastor for 50 years, Bill is a LEGEND and an inspiration. Happy birthday!

Fourteen years ago, HBO's 'The Newsroom' laid out the truth about voter ID in this segment. It’s striking how little the arguments — or the tactics — have changed. Still a solution in search of a problem. History doesn’t repeat itself — it gets rerun.

Fox News graphic claims falsely that the average price of gas one year ago was $4.13, lower than it is right now. It was actually $3.14!

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.

To be absolutely clear, the Democrats don’t just need to win in November. They need to defeat this Republican poison overwhelmingly. Anything less will convince these hateful thugs that their cause continues to be righteous.

Donald Trump: “Voters are angry at Republicans, not me.” When asked why voters are angry at Republicans, Trump replied: “I don’t know why.” Well, that clears everything up.

Patel is trading personnel with China’s Ministry of Public Security, month on/month off, with Moscow penciled in for October. His counterintel bench is very alarmed. His answer: “We know exactly who is coming here, and we vet them.” This is BAD ju ju, folks.

The FBI has ADMITTED it has the Epstein Files redaction TRAINING VIDEOS that an anonymous FBI source told me about last year. TODD BLANCHE was required to release these under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. TODD BLANCHE is unfit to serve as Attorney General. VOTE NO. @judiciarydems.senate.gov

Foreclosures increased 21% in the first half of this year. Student loan defaults are at a record high. Total household debt is also at a record high of $18.8 trillion. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. “New Golden Age” for whom?
