My MAGA neighbor five minutes ago: “I just read that tariffs are going to raise prices for stuff. I don’t get it. I thought China was going to pay them.”
I explained how tariffs work. I wish you could see the look on the guy’s face when it sunk in.
So much ignorance out there.

Vance retakes the lead in the highly competitive contest for most nauseating Trump administration official. Hegseth, Rubio, and Blanche look on jealously as Vance shows them how truly repulsive smarmy demagoguery is done.

'This ad is going to go down as the most shameful, disgusting, offensive ad this election season.' GOP Rep. Nancy Mace tells @jaketapper it will take time for her party to recover from the damage done by Ohio Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's ad featuring his opponent's estranged mother.

My husband and I voted early today in Orlando — BLUE all the way! 🗳️💙
It feels great to have our votes cast and our voices heard.
If early voting is available where you live, take advantage of it if you can — avoid the Election Day lines and get it done! 🇺🇸

30 years ago, today, Susan Collins pledged she would only serve two terms in the U.S. Senate.
Here we are, five terms later, with her still in office.
Susan broke her promise. How can we trust her to fight for us?

Ukrainian journalist @IAPonomarenko on witnessing the aftermath of Russian attacks on civilians trying to flee.
“Half-burnt bodies lying on the asphalt” beside the wreckage of their cars.
“It looks like something that resembles…seventh gates of hell.”
“Something that you would expect to see in horror movies, but it's absolutely reality.”
Vivek Ramaswamy, Ken Paxton and Susan Collins are in a rowboat that’s sinking in the middle of a lake. You can only save one of them — who would you choose?

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—
Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release
Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.
Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

I believe we can have a secure border and a clear pathway to citizenship and we can do it without a rogue, illegal agency like ICE.

Q: Who have you voted for in the past?
Voter: I’ve voted for Donald Trump, I’ve voted for Greg Abbott. Republican my whole life.
Q: So why are you switching teams?
Voter: I am seeing what we need. This is what America needs. This is what Texas needs. We need someone like James Talarico.
Q: And you don’t think Ken Paxton can deliver?
Voter: Oh no, I don’t think so at all. I think he’s a criminal. And we don’t need someone like that representing Texas.

Inside the Ohio GOP fallout after Ramaswamy doubled down on ad of Acton's estranged mother: one GOP candidate asked Ramaswamy not to air the ad and one operative told me that Republicans in the state "couldn't be more pissed"

The White House posting Down syndrome slurs on official media accounts to attack a journalist. Is there no bottom to this depravity?

James Talarico to Ken Paxton: I have accepted 4 local TV debates, but we haven't heard from you. If Fox news is where you'll be most comfortable, I'll be there.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but Trump’s record-low approval rating of 32% just two weeks before the midterm elections is probably NOT good for Republicans.

I don't believe that Musk turned off Starlink to Ukraine at his own sole initiative. I believe Trump is implicated up to his painted eyebrows. But if it should be true that Musk did it - then Starlink and Space X must be nationalized by the US government immediately.
