Every republican needs to be asked if they disavow this disgusting ad and Ramaswamy's campaign.

The Editorial Board@editorialboard.bsky.social

There was some question as to whether Ramaswamy had anything with that mercenary ad going viral about his opponent's mom. There's no longer a question. www.axios.com/2026/10/21/r...

axios.comExclusive: Ramaswamy doubles down on explosive ad featuring rival's mother, despite backlashRamaswamy is gambling that the deeply personal attack by Amy Acton's mother will resonate with voters.

This wont work. Those rugged farmers will absolutely refuse to take socialist payoffs.

What a sweet story, except the fact that the child not involved was wearing the secret spy recording glasses, and then his mom sent it out on her social media so the whole world could see the personal interaction. I guess I am just old, but I think that's creepy.

Sounds like the GOP has their mid-term closing message and I'm here for it!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Hassett: "If economic polls were correct, then people wouldn't be taking trips to nice hotels, they wouldn't be flying, they wouldn't be buying cars, they wouldn't be doing all the things they do when they're feeling good about the economy... people are acting like we're in a boom. We are in a boom"

And our bases apparently were destroyed anyway. Such a colossal failure they are still covering up.

Venezuelans must be thrilled that the US is syphoning out all their money after decades of authoritarian rule which continues and devastating earthquakes which has destroyed their infrastructure.

He's just keeps feeding democratic ads. While you struggle to pay for gas, food and medicine. While you worry you may lose your job to AI. While you work about pollution from data centers, I am focused on spending your money on fixing golf courses.

LOL, literally nothing "stunning" about this. Jolly is from this area, and represented Pinellas (as a Republican) in Congress only 10 years ago. TBT almost always (correctly) endorses democrats. It would have been a shock if they didn't endorse him. #JollyforFL

Give me one example of this happening. Just one.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "We have 5 states where your child goes off to school as Tim and comes back as Tammy 3 or 4 days later. It's true. And teachers make a decision. 'Goodbye Timmy I love you so much, I'll see you later.' And you say, 'Where's my son? My son is in the hospital.' Can you imagine?"

MS DESK: ".. the new Roadster is a showcase of engineering prowess -- sub-0.6s 0-60, 230+ mph, fan-based down-force and SPCX thrusters that allow it to fly (literally). Near-term volume and EPS impact are likely negligible, but hard to ignore as a halo for $TSLA engineering edge and SPCX crossover."

How long until life insurers jump on this train? We're canceling your policy that you paid for years because you never made a claim. It would be very profitable.

What I will never understand is that these two (Lutnick and Burgum) are filthy rich and they beclown themselves daily being the hype guys for a demented moron. What's the point of being so rich if you have to be schlepped around the country like two simps?

When does Sam Altman rename his company OpenSI and then change all the signs, filings, etc.?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Trump: "Super intelligence, or SI. And that's the official name in the United States. I'll be signing a very powerful executive order. I spoke to President Xi. He loves it ... 'Artificial intelligence' is like the news. Fake news. I'm going to call them artificial news."

This is why it is good to be God. You get credit for anything good, but no blame for anything bad. It's a great gig if you can get it.

When a baseball player crosses the plate after hitting a home run, looks up to the sky, and thanks God, it makes you wonder why the same God decided to screw the pitcher.
