Over 2,000 alumni from Vivek’s all-boys catholic high school in Cincinnati have signed and circulated a petition demanding that he pull the ad and issue a public apology for “ignoring the moral responsibilities” of his Jesuit education. I think he’s pretty cooked.

chat I don’t think doubling down on this ad is working out real well for vivek

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"

JD Vance is determined to make sure that all undecided voters across the whole country and not just Ohio associate Republicans even more loudly as defenders of pedophiles

JD Vance: "Now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and call Amy Acton a liar"

Unearthed footage of Vivek Ramaswamy mocking Amy Acton for being a survivor of childhood abuse: "She has no vision other than to complain about what someone else did to her"

Vivek Ramaswamy registered as an attorney in New York and as a voter in Ohio at different addresses, which would mean he either violated New York State Bar registration laws or Ohio voter registration laws.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Summer between high school and college - 31 days working the 5 pm - 2 am at Big Bear warehouse. Biggest fear was having multiple cases of Hawaiian Punch fall off the loaded pallet.

A Scaramucci is ten days (july 21-31). Zacharia was appointed on Oct 9 and lasted till October 16. So a Zacharia is seven days, or 7/10ths of a Scaramucci.

I don’t want to totally jump the gun and jinx things, but if there is a Brewers/Guardians WS, we need a promise that Milwaukee will keep the roof open for all games. Let the Midwest cook. Or freeze. Or whatever the heck it decides to do.

JD Vance’s not so subtle point is that the United States belongs to white Christian men, and the rest of us who don’t meet all three qualifications only belong here insofar as our betters choose to tolerate us.

JD Vance calls El-Sayed "a little weasel who should shut his mouth and show a little gratitude"

Ohio Republican Vivek Ramaswamy just featured a registered sex offender in a recent campaign ad. Ramaswamy's campaign has also taken $100,000 in donations from Jeffrey Epstein associates.

I’m guessing it was an Alexa.

😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

Trump's suit appears to be part of Jos. A. Bank's Traveler line. The suit is listed as having been made abroad using a wool-polyester-spandex blend. The company describes it as having the "ultimate stretch" and was designed to minimize body odor.

Sherrod Brown as a baseline Dem: He’s fine, mostly inoffensive but occasionally frustrating. Sherrod Brown as an Ohio Dem:

[Troll living under a bridge] “If you answer my riddle, you may pass to the other side and receive untold riches. If you fail, you will plunge to your death!” [Me] *Gulp* “Okay. I will try.” [Troll] “What is an ‘oppo-taco’?

Dishonest attack ads by Republicans?!?!? I am sooooo shocked. 🫢

David DeWitt@daviddewitt.bsky.social

In an attack ad against U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a woman accuses the Democrat of pushing transgender surgeries on minors "like her." As it turns out, she isn't from Ohio and didn't have surgery until she was an adult. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/06/w...

if you think about it, winning via a direct connection to the divine father of all creation through His appointed emissary on Earth is a much more egregious cheating scandal than banging on trash cans
