Vance's earlier Haitian pet-eating lie and his current embrace of Vivek's weaponization of child abuse are providing a pretty ugly picture of the what the Vance 2028 presidential campaign is going to look like. Just venom, lies, and smears all the way down.
Vance: The media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ad features Amy Acton's estranged mother disputing Acton's account of childhood homelessness, rape and abuse. Both 1978 Mahoning County court records and Acton's brother, Phillip Stearns, corroborate her account of living in a tent and abuse. wyso.org/2026-10-20/amy…

Why in the holy fuck are multiple cops pulling weapons on someone *accused* by a rando of shoplifting diapers. It says a lot about cop culture this happened. And even more pathetic the AG says “legitimate shooting!” None of it is ok. Law enforcement culture is broken.
Bodycam footage of the police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley has leaked through Dark Horse Press. Mississippi DPS claimed the Senatobia officer who fired the fatal shot feared for his life. His bodycam has not been released. Background: mississippifreepress.org/pol…

.@DavidAFrench is a great legal voice on this, and has been writing on this since at least 2017: bad cops claiming “I was afraid for my safety” ends up excusing a lot of terrible policing that deserves much more accountability nationalreview.com/2017/06/p…

Wait, he really did say that. It's on the video. I dunno, this is about as cruel at that vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad. How ... I mean, what the hell are you thinking, telling sick vets that you'll withhold money from them if people don't vote for your party?!
Trump says that if Republicans lose in North Carolina he will use the power of his office to deny US Marine Corps veterans’ claims for medical treatment for cancer and other life threatening diseases resulting from decades of water contamination by toxic chemicals at Camp Lejeune

I've been trying and failing to think of a more repulsive midterms ad. Like, AT BEST, this is a woman whose child made sexual assault allegations against her husband and chose her husband over her child and never saw her child again.
Maybe the most disgusting political ad in living memory. And then this statement by the campaign embracing the message - just completely morally bankrupt and depraved. Hope everyone is taking a moment to be shocked!

It is the responsibility of a political party to earn the support of its coalition, not the responsibility of voters to endlessly court a party that increasingly treats them with contempt. That is one of the most elementary principles of representative democracy. I spent years involved in Republican politics. I stuck my neck out for this party, bent over backwards defending it, worked on campaigns, and stood by people even when doing so wasn’t particularly easy. I genuinely believed in what I was doing. I wasn’t pretending to be a conservative, and I certainly wasn’t involved in Republican politics because I had nothing better to do with my time. I gave that movement a great deal of my energy because I believed there was a place for me in it. And after all of that, I have to sit here and watch people like Bo French insinuate that I’m not an American because of where my family comes from? If voting according to my conscience makes me a “libtard,” then so be it
Why was a libtard working as an intern there

I’m firmly in the camp if you have to stay awake for 36 hours before kickoff so you don’t die from a blood clot you should probably skip playing that game.

YOU'RE NOT PAYING TAXES FOR THE PROPERTY, YOU'RE PAYING YOUR TOWN FOR THE SERVICES IT PROVIDES. THE ROADS, POLICE, SCHOOLS, FIRE DEPARTMENT, LIBRARY, SNOW PLOWS, EMERGENCY SERVICES AND SO MUCH MORE.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century. politico.com/news/magazine/2…

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?
NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. Story with @nancyayoussef theatlantic.com/politics/202…

Republican Rep. Andy Harris incorrectly told a reporter they were breaking the law as the reporter and others recorded an exchange with him last night. Harris had just wrapped up a debate with Democratic challenger Dan Schwartz.

Wait, hello. Just saw this too. Thank you, @jaketapper. What a segment. How revelatory. Would love to see more of Cat Murphy on the big stage. I know the combo of talent & conviction when I see it.
'It's been a lot. But I was focused on doing my job and asking my questions that I wanted answers to.' Student journalist Cat Murphy joins @jaketapper to respond after GOP Rep. Andy Harris threatened to have her prosecuted for recording his answers during a news conference.

In which @jamestalarico takes questions on his faith & related statements from someone who clearly at minimum has concerns with what they have heard … and man, dude is really, really good at this. At being a good human, not just a candidate. I’m in.

My God. Might be best watched high, but infusing Led Zepplin into a soundtrack for a C.S. Lewis classic? So deeply intriguing. Yes, Narnia is infused with Christian theology & imagery … it’s also a mind-bender, which forces thinking outside of expectations. So does Zepplin. 👊
The first trailer for Greta Gerwig's ‘NARNIA’ has been released. In theaters on February 12, 2027.

It may bastardize CS Lewis but this is going to make roughly a trillion dollars.

the ironic thing with this insane fabrication from a man who is clearly deeply unwell is he’s not *also* doing a twice-in-24 hours, not-so-indirect confirmation that he’s a closeted bisexual by adoringly describing another man’s ass (not that there’s anything wrong with that)
Trump: I had a police officer from New York. And he came up to thank me, and he was a rough guy. I don’t think he cried when he was born. He didn’t cry. He was not a crier. He’s a rough guy, big, strong guy, and he was almost crying. He was waiting in line to shake my hand, which I do with the police. And he said to me, “Sir, I want to thank you.” I said, “For what?” He said, “My wife has never respected me that much because I’ve lost a lot of money. I’ve gone into investments. I’ve always lost money. I’m not good at it. And yet now, after you’ve been here not even two years, my 401(k) is up by a number that Warren Buffett would be very proud of. Much higher than Warren Buffett’s numbers, to be honest.” And he said, “And she now views me as a financial genius. She viewed me as a loser for my whole life, and now she views me as a brilliant financial mind, and I didn’t do anything.” And I said, “Are you going to stay with your wife?” And he said, “I’m thinking about it.” No, I said, “Stay with your wife. It’s much less expensive.”

Remember when Trump promised these protesters he would be their savior? That was so long ago... Prayers for this young woman. She deserved better.
🚨BREAKING: The Islamic regime has confirmed the death-sentence of 18 year old Melika Azizi was carried earlier today. Melika was arrested in January 2026 during nation-wide protests and charged with "moharebeh" (waging war against god for allegedly burning Islamic regime symbols. In court, Melika told the judge: "You let so many young people bleed. How can I remain silent? I don't care just kill me." She was a brave young lady!

Reminds me of @ZohranKMamdani’s famous walk-down-Manhattan campaign video: striking how people are so genuinely happy to see the guy. That’s rare stuff.
Thanks for letting a politician crash your party @aclfestival!

Here’s the Zohran campaign video banger. Does that mean Talarico is going to win? I don’t know. But juice like that on the trail matters.
On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park. New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.
