NEW on @zeteo.com — Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his bus tour across Ohio in the closing days of the election. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperez.bsky.social and @swin24.bsky.social:

zeteo.comVenues Start Canceling on Vivek Ramaswamy Over His Disgusting Ad: ‘People Don’t Want Him There’Businesses have begun pulling out of Vivek Ramaswamy’s bus tour with other GOP candidates. ‘It’s that damn ad,’ a top Ohio Republican tells Zeteo.

Kasper isn't really the problem. The problem is: -Levien kept Kasper -Levien hired Weiler -Levien hired the DOCTOR in that order. Three people. All different ideas. All having a say. Hodgepodge team. One common thread. Levien.

It probably won’t really help anything, but getting rid of Dave Kasper should at least streamline some acquisition decisions. Or just make me feel better.

When JFK ran, they said the country would never elect a Catholic president. When Obama ran, they said the country would never elect a Black president. Michiganders care a lot less about how I pray than what I pray for: peace, dignity, basic goodness for all of our kids.

Ossoff: "Maybe you saw that Donald Trump was in Dalton yesterday, oblivious to the collapse of his presidency. A crowd smaller than this one enduring two hours of senile babbling while the price of oil hit its 5 month high"

So, so good. Also something I like to note when it comes up because it's fairly rare - Abdul positively affirms the freedom *from* religion as well as the freedom to it. Sometimes I think some Dems don't seem to grasp that Joe Biden won 90% of voting atheists in 2020, and there's a lot!

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

It should be shameful to be a Republican. And no, disavowing Trump isn't good enough. He is a creation of their decades of monstrous actions. They sustained a bigoted society that would support his depravity and tyranny. And stupidity. There need to be social consequences for the Gang of Pedophiles

Trump on El-Sayed: "His name is actually Abduladadalalalala. It's Adulbabababababa Mohammed Al-Sayed. So his middle name is Mohammed. So I was right. He's a jihadist."

This is just flat out racism. No other way to describe it, and if you see someone trying to do otherwise (looking at you NYT editors) then correct them.

It’s so weird that Americans have a system that explicitly hurts entrepreneurialism (no universal health care) and we pretend it’s good for business

Huh. Apparently Katie Miller deleted this tweet that I had the foresight to screencap. Turns out I can TOO make things go viral on Xitter, even.

This video don’t lie. ICE agents do.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

The president of the United States says that "the New York Times, and many other Artificial Media Outlets, should be arrested" for denying that the arena in which he spoke had empty seats. It's really bad! www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

REMINDER: Project 2025 calls for the total elimination of the Dept of Education, including ALL Title IX processes. Again, this disgusting Cornell University fiasco took place under the ✨current✨ Title IX landscape. The current higher edu system fails women. The P2025’s regime exacerbates it all.

His first term was a complete disaster: he orchestrated an insurrection, he’s a convicted sex offender and criminal, he’s bankrupt all his businesses, more lies come out of his mouth than breaths, and then people who voted for him for a second term are scratching their heads!

They also report (uncritically) Schmitt’s statement that the Hawks game was the only NBA game going on on Feb 2, 2024. Which, uh. Not so much.

Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., slams the White House’s pro-Trump ad that’s paid for with taxpayer money and says it is not a PSA: “I hate it. I tell you, it feels like Viktor Orbán talking to the Hungarian people. There’s no place for that sort of thing.”

They should have… voted against it…

Mehdi Hasan@mehdirhasan.bsky.social

"Republicans Are Running Away From Trump’s Iran War as Midterms Near" GOP candidates in Iowa, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, Ohio, and Wisconsin say it’s time to end the war in Iran – though only one of them has started voting that way.

So she only said it like 7 or 8 times…

CNN pulled a clip of Michele Tafoya recently saying "I've never said I was embarrassed to be from Minnesota" and then displays an unearthed and deleted tweet of her saying "I am embarrassed to be from Minnesota" 🥴

You’re doing a lot of blustering about how smart you are and how tough you are and it has nothing to do with the topic you yourself brought up.

Either it’s malpractice or Bezos is telling to write this crap. Not sure which is worse.

It’s not “raising the payroll tax,” it’s raising the cap. This irresponsible WaPo headline makes it sound like they are talking about raising the payroll tax rate. Which they are not. It also makes it sound like Social Security is about to run out of money. Which It is not.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

My favorite story is that she anonymously gifted high school band and music programs across the South, especially majority Black schools, with music, uniforms and instruments. We are all made better for living in the era of Dolly Rebecca Parton. May her memory be for a blessing always.
