@gtconway.bsky.social unloads on Trump, Vance, and Ramaswamy over the vile attack ad against Amy Acton. "These people are so infected with Trump's sociopathy that they actually turn down any possible opportunity they have to demonstrate to the world that they have any decency."

Amy Acton: "I had a pretty rough childhood…My opponent has chosen to exploit, intentionally, this story in a desperate attempt to save his struggling campaign…It's not going to work because decency and compassion still matter to us.”

Annie Andrews: "I don't know what's so radical about thinking hard-working South Carolinian families shouldn't have to worry about if they can afford to put food on the table...Or what's so radical about thinking all the counties in South Carolina should have an OB-GYN?"

I realized as I was making. A piece of toast I dreamed I had two bars of Kerrygold unsalted and two bars of salted butter in my fridge last night. What is wrong with me? Why is that “my dream” ?

OBAMA: "Trump is focused on enriching himself & his family/friends. A Venezuelan billionaire wanted a pardon, so he paid a Trump lawyers $50 million — and lo & behold! The pardon falls out of the sky... We’ve never seen a president straight-up grifting on your dime like this."

The Writers Guild on Musk blocking releasee of the documentary "Musk": "A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, and social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration over our news and media threatens democratic discourse."

AdvaMed boasted earlier this year in a letter to members that its lobbying efforts, which included political contributions to Mr. Trump’s causes, had paid off, saving the industry millions of dollars in upgrades. “Membership has its privileges,” the group wrote. Incredible reporting from the NYT

Trump: "You know, the first question -- they have a lion, a snake, a giraffe, and a bear. And they say 'which is the snake?' ... by the time you get to number five a lot of people are left out on the road ... I get no credit for it."

The same people who insist on policing public bathrooms in order to protect girls from sexual predators are now calling a child rape victim, whose mother lost custody due to that abuse, a liar. loathsome

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"

Elon Musk boosted the lie that James Talarico stayed at a mental hospital. Meta suspended No Kings’ Instagram account during nationwide actions. Staff at the Ellison-owned CBS News were reportedly told to tie Abdul El-Sayed to the Muslim Brotherhood and 9/11. Democracy dies in billionaire hands.

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.

"He behaves like he's a Russian intelligence asset." After Steve Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin as a "humanitarian," @michaeldweiss.bsky.social explains why he believes Witkoff's approach to negotiating with Moscow plays directly into the Kremlin's hands.

Trump: "I said, 'Do I need a coat?'…I'd rather not wear one. I got to show I'm all man. We're all men. We're women, we're whatever the hell we are."

It’s like they totally think people aren’t serious about Epstein ire so the campaign thinks this will be fine. Just lie about a woman sexually abused as a child. Sounds about Republican.

i don't think i've ever seen a campaign do a murder-suicide before (decent chance this drags down the entire GOP ticket in the state)

JD can never have any role in politics. He just admitted to how dumb (with a B) & gullible & corrupt he is. This should play as a loop any time he tries to campaign. Every stump speech the audience should chant “I know nothing.”
