This will go down as one of the most incredible screwups in recent campaign history, and it happened because brain-fried Republicans like Ramaswamy can't imagine that voters don't actually want politicians to be gigantic assholes.

A group of former federal prosecutors and human rights lawyers is coming together to investigate political corruption and law enforcement violence that it says is being ignored by the Trump DOJ.
"The rule of law is on life support, but it's all of our responsibility to make sure it doesn't die."

The world could become a better place this Tuesday, if Israel votes Trump’s friend Netanyahu out of power. Expats are traveling THOUSANDS OF MILES to vote against him! Israel does not allow the majority of its citizens living abroad to vote by post.
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."
NEW: Press freedom groups have sued the Trump administration — alleging in federal court that attempting to bar CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House violates the First Amendment rights of ordinary citizens to access information about the U.S. government.
Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court.
Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and attorneys interviewed by WaPo.

The resistance around the world keeps growing. Brazil and Serbia are thousands of miles apart, but people in both countries are standing up to authoritarianism. They’ve shown us what can happen when people refuse to give up.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements.
"A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."
Bill Kristol: "Once upon a time, this stuff actually seemed to work for Trump. He built a whole lurid Technicolor artificial world for his supporters to live in. He lied and lied, and from time to time he won. But now it’s over. He’s done, the jig is up. Nobody believes."
House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein.
The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.
Trump: "Somalia -- 98% of the people here now from Somalia don't work. They don't have to work because they steal so much. They all have a Mercedes Benz. Low IQ and they live better than you do."
Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans
WELKER: Is a vote for you a vote for the Trump agenda?
MIKE ROGERS: Um, I'm apologizing. I'm having some difficultly in my earpiece. But is a vote for you? I'm not sure. I'll tell you what a vote for me is. It's a great day for the state of Michigan
Trump on data centers: "I say let them come in ... you should really be cool on data centers because you can make a fortune with the data centers" (Note the total silence of the crowd during this rant!)
The Browns, Bengals, Guardians, Reds, Blue Jackets, Cavaliers, Crew, and FC Cincinnati. The owners of every single pro sports team in Ohio have all donated to Vivek Ramaswamy.
And not a single one has spoken up about his recent ad.

The state of Illinois has $125M in contracts with Deloitte Consulting LLP.
Deloitte is backing a candidate in Ohio who is siding with a pedophile and his defender, punishing a woman for speaking out about sexual abuse.
In Illinois, we’re paying them $16M to advise DCFS.

‘You don’t do this to a fellow human being’: The decision to produce the video was evidence voters should consider when assessing Vivek Ramaswamy’s fitness to govern. He could have challenged Acton on policy. Instead, he chose to exploit a painful family history. www.cleveland.com/open/2026/10...
What will make this even more delicious is if Jared Kushner's felonious father-in-law is only finding out about this from reporting.
Trump has just sicced DOJ on Corey Lawandosky, probably for not wetting Donald's beak with Corey's own shakedown schemes.

AOC: "What the Trump administration is doing in targeting trans people is to get everyone on board with supporting defunding their own civil rights ... understand that when they attack trans girls in sports, they're also attacking all women's ability to stand up against their abusers"

Armed and in uniform, federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors in several states to ask residents about their immigration status — and to inquire if they have registered to vote or cast votes in past elections, a CBS News Investigation has found.
Q: There's a report that FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle disasters on their own. Any reaction?
OSSOFF: So the Trump administration is telling folks across the country to prepare to fend for themselves while taxpayer dollars are sent to back Don Jr & Eric's mining interest in Kazakhstan?
