Blanche knows Dana is right and is trying to pretend they don’t have plans for trying to overturn the election. Why isn’t this guy disbarred yet?

BASH: The worry is that we end up in a situation where President Trump tries to overturn the election and the result of that could be like what we saw after January 6-- BLANCHE: Stop it! You gotta stop it with that! That's crazy BASH: This is a president who has a history

@reds.com your part (sponsoring) in the attack ad against Amy Acton on behalf of Vivek Ramaswampy is abhorrent. Your disdain for woman and using childhood sexual assault against someone for political points is bottom of the barrel trash behavior! #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1

Putin brought up the deal when he met with Witkoff and Kushner at the Kremlin on Sept. 5. Putin proposed it get done as a way of showing Russians that they can do business with the United States. The Americans responded that they'd work on it, seeing it as a way to build good will with the Kremlin.

When Trump urged Ramaswamy to keep running the vile attack ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother, the message to survivors of sexual abuse was unmistakable. Her mother defended Acton’s stepfather after he was accused of raping her starting at 9 years old, and lost custody of Acton & her brother.

ms.nowOpinion | What Trump and Vance are really amplifying by praising Ramaswamy's attack adBy broadcasting Acton’s mother’s words, the ad risks reinforcing precisely the fear and misplaced guilt that doctors like me work so hard to heal.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Russia was focused “in a bipartisan way” on trying to harm American politicians who had been supportive of Ukraine. The video targeting Talarico appeared as Steve Witkoff visited Moscow as pressing for an end to the war in Ukraine and, more broadly, tensions between the US and Russia.
