On the day a sitting president landed in Lubbock, Texas, for the first time in 34 years, people waited for hours in lines stretching for blocks in this reliably red city. But the crowd wasn't waiting for President Trump. They were waiting for Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. nbcnews.com/politics/2026-el…

"The ACA keeps people in a position of permanent servitude."
YIKES!
Zach Nunn literally said in his own words, “I want the ACA gone”
If @NunnForCongress gets his way, protections for people with preexisting conditions — like cancer — are on the chopping block. He’s full of shit. #IA03
.@lawler4ny not exactly closing on a strong note

‘Shouldn’t you guys be packing your bags?!History’s not gonna be kind to you. You’re enabling that lunatic in the White House. It’s not okay.’

Joe Scarborough has #TheRealMikeLawler dead to rights here, #NY17.
In just under two minutes he casually exposes all of Mike Lawler’s hypocrisy, phoniness and duplicity.

striking how similar this trajectory is to his presidential campaign.
Came on too hot in the first debate, tried to act completely the opposite in the next one — after being told he came on too hot
#OHGov: R candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is up on TV with this spot --
Male voiceover:
"Relax. This election's almost over. Everyone wants a government that works so we can get on with our lives. Vivek will lower property taxes, fight for seniors and put more money in your pocket so you can afford groceries, gas and your electric bill"
"Amy Acton had her shot. She failed us during COVID, then quit under pressure. When it gets tough, will Acton show up? Give yourself one less thing to worry about"

Republican House candidate Scott Singer, who’s focused much on antisemitism among Democrats, on Trump’s use of “Shylock” last week:
Asked if he could point to an example outside of a production of “The Merchant of Venice” when it wasn’t used in an antisemitic way, Singer said, “just as a lender. I remember the movie ‘Get Shorty,’ John Travolta used it.” cnn.com/2026/10/27/politics/…
Absolutely BRUTAL two minutes for Mike Lawler on Morning Joe as the panel dismantles his faux independence:
@ScarboroughNow: “Lawler voted with Donald Trump 282 out of 282 times.”
Mika: “Oh wait, that’s not standing up to him.” 🧵(1/4)
.@WillieGeist calls @CaitforNewYork a "strong candidate," notes her six deployments to combat zones, & mocks attempts to paint her as a socialist:
"It's a tough sell."
(3/4)
.@lawler4ny's entire political act demolished in two minutes.
He plays an independent on TV, votes with & sucks up to Trump, & cynically thinks voters will believe his decorated combat veteran opponent is a dangrous socialist.
Time's up, Mike!
(4/4)
