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.

According to Elon, a notoriously dishonest kook, it was the Trump administration that cut off Ukraine's use of Starlink, not Musk. Hope that causes a rift between them before the midterms.

People are claiming that Elon Musk messed with Starlink in Ukraine because Trump asked him. I think a more likely reason is that Ukraine damaging Russian data centers embarrassed Elon by showing how many of his Twitter followers are nonexistent and how much traffic on Twitter is driven by bots.

Ladies and gentlemen, once again I present Katie Zacharia's first day as the new White House Press Secretary ;) #KatieZacharia

Who’s the slimiest slime in the world? It’s not Captain Hook. boingboing.net/2026/10/13/k...

Right now these people are thinking the $50 wasn’t worth it. 🥴 “You know what they’re doing? They go straight down. You can make those drill bits talk, sing, make them go. They go down. New York’s over here, Pennsylvania. They go down, take a sharp left, and suck our oil out. Can you believe it?”

Republicans will look you dead in the eye and tell you Benny Johnson is an alpha male 😂

Project Meridian will be led by a weirdo, a beardo, & a fatty.

This belongs in the Smithsonian.

In the government of the United States as now constituted, all officials and functionaries are routinely required to pose standing behind the seated tyrant to show obeisance and make him look important. Newspapers publish these photos without comment, as if it were normal.

“Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for for turning a blind eye to my helping cover up for a notorious child molester—and tracking what my ‘son’ beats off to on Pornhub. And stop with that silly ‘don’t pray in public’ nonsense. Glory!”

Hopefully the AI chatbots will release the Epstein files.

It's not a real political party, folks It just isn't

This guy needs to go ASAP...

Time for Meet the Press to sue him for $10B.

They oughta start asking these bootlickers if he's the most handsome man who ever lived. Let's see how far they'll take this.

Exhibit 1 for his trial for violations of our First Amendment rights.

I hope dem presidential candidates are paying attention. 👀

I’m telling my grandkids that this is why Victor Orbán was so roundly kicked to the curb by the wise people of Hungary.

Kristi Noem rigging the property appraiser’s exam while governor so her daughter could get her license, killing a puppy, and giving her boyfriend a powerful job in govt while cheating on her cross-dressing spouse is not that unusual on the spectrum of Republican politician behavior.

Whatever Trump said during this speech, I’m sure sounded much better in his head. This was the most pathetic address to a nation in US… no... world history. What the fuck was that?

This speech is insane. Our President is a lunatic. Also, he sounds like a moron. A real low IQ individual. Don’t be numb to how crazy this is.

Is it a good sign that the White House commandeered prime time on the networks to broadcast what was essentially an unconvincing proof-of-life video?

Was the point of Trump’s speech tonight to show the nation how badly he’s deteriorated with more slurred, low energy, incoherent, nonsensical rambling? If so, mission accomplished.

Iran won’t close the Strait Iran better open the Strait Iran has 2 days to open the Strait Iran has a week to open the Strait NATO, open the Strait I’ll bomb your critical infrastructure if Strait isn’t opened I don’t care about the Strait No ceasefire till Strait is open

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

I can totally see family resemblance.

Democrats should run this year on returning tariff revenue to Americans. Trump already said today he’s going to fight this in the courts. An easy mode way to be on the right side of the affordability issue.

It's always about the messenger and never about the message with them. It's why they hate Obamacare but love the ACA.

Every time Trump breaks the clear letter of the law, the NYT and WaPo write a story about how he’s “pushing boundaries” or “testing the limits of his authority” He's not Chuck Yeager, guys. He's a crook.

(The Atlantic) This is the article that you need to read...about the future of what might or will happen with the US harassment and potential invasion of Greenland. Superb writing by Anne Applebaum. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

A) that’s not what this means what an absolute clown 🤡 B) the bulk of this “growth” was health insurance spending 😕

And I share it!

Bob Costas nailed it. 🎯

Guess who was right in the thick of the assault on @padilla.senate.gov? Corey Lewandowski. (He may have been the guy instructing that there's no recording at a press conference and seems to have realized how badly they fucked up.)
