🚨 “SHAME ON VIVEK.” Amy Acton’s brother fires back in a powerful new ad after Vivek Ramaswamy’s allies amplified an attack featuring their estranged mother. He reveals how Amy endured years of physical and sexual abuse as a child to protect him from their stepfather.

Vivek Ramaswamy gets visibly and DEFENSIVE after a man asks him about a PEDOPHILE appearing in one of his campaign ads. Q: “Why did you have a pedophile in one of your ads?” VIVEK: “What are you talking about?!” Things quickly go OFF THE RAILS as Vivek denies it, tries to explain, and storms off.

More of this please! Also, we can take his name off buildings as soon as he is gone. (Just do it quickly before he has time to file legal challenges.) But repairing the rest of the damage he's doing is going to take a very long time.

Taylor: He has turned the presidency into a side hustle. He has turned the White House into a deposit box for bribes, and he has turned your government into, forgive my words, a fucking ATM machine. So no, we don't want his name on the buildings.

Vivek Ramaswamy’s new Ohio governor ad about property taxes “accidentally” featured a registered sex offender in the background. Vernon Edwards, the husband of the woman featured in the ad, pleaded guilty to gross sexual imposition involving a child under 13 and served eight years in prison.

I think in reality what socialism actually means in the American context is that trillionaire Elon Musk got $38 billion from the U.S. government and you got rejected trying to buy a $1 soda on SNAP benefits.

They want one woman to stand alone beneath the weight of seven names. Instead, thousands of us will stand beside hers. You wanted Jane Doe? Here we are. #IAmJaneDoe #Pinks ✨

Can't recall ever seeing anything quite like this during a Congressional hearing. And I've been in and around politics for 50 years.

🤡 Schmitt beclowns himself 🤡 Schmitt concocted an elaborate conspiracy theory that Smith traveled to Atl for a Hawks game and to collude with Fani Willis, & flashed his "evidence" before accusing Smith of perjury. There's just one problem -- his facts were totally wrong. Here's the whole sequence:

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It is often weakened by attacks on the institutions in the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January of 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

While Trump wants everyone to focus on his fake cash giveaways, this is the single most consequential story of the moment. Iran-backed Houthis just took effective control of the Bab al-Mandeb strait, one of the world’s most important shipping chokepoints.

I was taught high school English 25 years ago in Appalachia. We didn't have televisions in our classrooms. I will never forget the announcement, telling us to take our classes to the library or cafeteria where televisions were set up. I entered with my class just as the first tower was falling.

I really thought this was a fake tweet from Trump. He’s bragging about profiting off the presidency and his followers are clapping like obedient seals. Pathetic.

It is not five o'clock here currently, but I believe in the gospel according to Saint Buffett. So it is certainly five o'clock somewhere.

I am finding it hard to have empathy and compassion for my dearest friend's brother. Her brother is in hospice after being diagnosed with a very treatable type of cancer. The brother chose to follow TikTok and YouTube science and treat his lymphoma himself with Ivermectin.
