Commentary: JD Vance built a national career as the Ohio hillbilly who could explain what it felt like to be looked down on. Now, as vice president, he is inviting Americans to look and punch down on others. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/10/23/v...
OHIO GUV: Republican Vivek Ramaswamy is airing a disgusting ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother who stayed with her second husband after he was indicted for sexually abusing young Amy.
Trump immediately defended the mother.
Jared Kushner’s hacked iPhone revealed he promised MBS and MBZ he would push their agenda with Trump if they participated in a secret fund, with the two royals initially discussing over $10B before ultimately placing at least $2B into his accounts. Paywalled, use archive.

Ukrainian intelligence confirms what many laypeople on BlueSky had already suspected: Russia is using satellites to help Iran target American bases in the Middle East.
And Donald Trump will do *nothing* about this because he cares about Putin far more than he cares about American troops.
fun true fact: behind closed doors, Preznit Fuckwit's behavior with world leaders is even more batshit than what we see in public. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I bring all the receipts. link is here: bit.ly/3RcuWR8
You cannot pray away chlamydia. States that gutted sex ed now lead the nation in STIs, with Louisiana at #1. Blue states teach science and stay healthiest. “Family values” is a slogan. Public health is a policy. Red states keep choosing the slogan.
Not enough people are talking about this! Ken Paxton #VoterFraud
If is was a democrat it would be blasted everywhere!

America's alliances weren't built on personal loyalty to presidents. They were built on protecting our national security. Trump's decision to reward Turkey after it bought Russia's S-400 isn't just a policy shift—it's part of a worldview that weakens America

NYT confirms:
Trump personally asked FIFA to review a U.S. player's suspension. Now he's eligible to play.
The reversal of Folarin Balogun's World Cup suspension is highly unusual.
It was the first time since 1962 that FIFA has nullified a suspension for a red card received during the World Cup.
J. D. Vance once compared Trump to an opioid: “He makes some feel better for a bit. But he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it.”
A decade later, America “is finally waking to the comedown Vance predicted,” Peter Wehner argues.
WTF
Egyptian staff are assaulted by police in Dallas Texas,
not realizing the Egyptian staff are part of the team that are playing against Australia.
One particular police officer decides to push the issue & try to take on an Egyptian Team Staff, by escalating the situation.
Coordinators step in.
Remember: The real freeloaders in this country are the rich — not the poor or immigrants or any other group of people vilified as scapegoats. The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. The United States literally has yacht and private jet tax deductions. Hello?

"She got an abortion after helping ban them. Blamed the democrats for the struggle she had to get one. And doesn't want interviews talking about it to be public."
It kinda got lost in the madness, but the federal conspiracy case against anti-ICE activists in Minnesota - the Minneapolis 15 - is a big deal
It's not just the 1st Amendment abuse. It's part of their plan to crush dissent ahead of a stolen election

How is it possible that this document has been read by tens of millions of people all over the world on the internet but a senior senator on the Intel Committee hasn’t?
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
While the killers of Renée Good and Alex Pretti walk free, the DOJ is busy bringing bogus charges against protesters.
The Administration thinks intimidation will make us back down.
They keep learning the same lesson: Minnesotans don't scare easily. We organize for our rights ✊🏽
People have shown up to watch the removal of the orange felon’s disgusting name from the Kennedy Center including thousands more watching live streams. It’s coming TF down!
Heather Marsh nailed it. Trump's Iran "peace deal" announcement the day before the SpaceX IPO was a classic Trump and Dump. $SPCXwww.patreon.com/BindingChaos...
"We don’t know exactly where the strikes have occurred. We don’t know what evidence or intelligence was used in determining the strikes. Most importantly, it doesn’t seem that anyone knows whom the United States government has killed."
It’s impossible to tell when Trump’s personal business ends and U.S. policy begins.
It’s increasingly apparent that cutting deals with and paying money to the Trump family means that you’ll get benefits from the federal government. trib.al/xds63NY
This is why the mainstream media is in such trouble all over the western world. This hypocrisy, deception and manipulation is repeated across the press and broadcasters in Europe and America - yet we ask why nobody trusts us anymore. To fix democracy we must fix the media. It’s a simple truth.
To be clear, the UFC arena at the bulldozed White House isn’t just trashy, tacky, disrespectful and inappropriate, it is also an illegal corrupt for-profit scheme, destruction of govt property and another way for a sadistic criminal and his rabid KKK cultists to promote violence.
Want proof that Democrats and Republicans are judged by different standards? Take a look at the media's coverage of the Senate campaigns of Graham Platten and Ken Paxton. The double standard couldn't be more obvious.

Cleveland schools’ cuts a leading indicator of Ohio’s malign neglect of education funding
No legislature in Ohio history has done more to overtly harm Cleveland than this one.

🚨 A GOP congressman went to prison for insider trading. He forfeited $350K in illegal profits. The Supreme Court refused his appeal last month. So Trump just erased it all. “Law and order” — unless you’re a loyal Republican. 🗳️ Vote like accountability matters.
The U.S. military has killed more than 200 people in strikes on boats in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific in the last 9 months in what legal experts and former military lawyers agree constitute illegal military orders that service members should refuse to follow.
