Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago.
Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…
Mamma Mia!
Kimberly Guilfoyle was preparing for her congressional hearing to become U.S. ambassador to Greece when she reached out to a Trump donor with an urgent request: She needed $100,000 that she said she owed American Express—in a way that wouldn’t leave a paper trail.
“It won’t show up anywhere if you wire money to American Express,” she wrote on Signal, according to messages reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “Please.”

Buttigieg: “Drain the swamp.” I am rarely in Washington these days, but as chance would have it, I was there yesterday. Went out for a run on the National Mall and couldn’t help but think that the only thing he’s actually managed to drain is that Reflecting Pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
So forgive us if we don’t believe him when he says he’s going to give everybody $5,000, but only after the election and only if they win.
You know, if Republicans really want to give everybody a few thousand dollars, they would have done it this week instead of going home for two months in the middle of multiple national crises.

Buttigieg: "I was shocked to hear Speaker Johnson just now saying 'we shouldn't be rushing, shouldn't be moving too quickly on this.' You know what is moving quickly? AI. For Congress to sit on its hands is something that is deeply dangerous it to the American people ... what have they been doing this entire time?"

Pete Buttigieg: “This is not just about going back to what we used to have. If November goes well, there’s gonna be a temptation in the Democratic Party to say great, we won, now we’re gonna go back to what we were doing before. It can’t be like that. We’ve gotta be ready to move forward including with big reforms. Of course we talk about the kitchen table. We also talk about a political system that keeps kicking the legs out from under the kitchen table”

Former U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers has a message for Michiganders struggling with higher prices: Just relax.
Coffee costs more? “Oh my gosh, coffee went up. You know, horror.”
Gas prices rising? “We’re gonna be fine, we got plenty of oil.”

The same Duffys who threw endless fits on national television when Pete was working from our son's ICU bedside are now bragging about their multi-month, taxpayer-funded family road trip while gas and grocery prices soar for American families because of Trump's war of choice. How much more unfocused, unserious, and out of touch can you be?

Donald Trump is preoccupied with pet projects like securing taxpayer funding for his gilded ballroom, plastering his face everywhere, and renaming airports after himself.
Our focus remains on everyday life, which gets better and more affordable when we replace this corrupt administration and its enablers in Congress with serious leaders ready to deliver.

Sec. Buttigieg on RFK and Donald Trump: The President literally owns a club that you have to pay $1 million just to get into. These are not folks who have navigated the [health care] system in a way that they have to worry about any of it. … It’s just not their problem.
