The mother from hell made a deal with the devil. In Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad, Amy Acton’s mother posed as a champion for sex abuse victims and called her daughter a liar. What she left out: she chose Amy’s rapist over Amy. Court docs back Amy. The most diabolical attack ad ever.

“Departures from these practices should never be countenanced because they risk allowing prosecutors to impact national elections.” -Todd Blanche on DOJ’s 60-day rule, September 2024

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Q: The typical practice is DOJ doesn't usually release charges this close to an election. Even though Ms Lucas isn't on the ballot, her daughter is. Can you speak to the timing? BLANCHE: The 60 day or 90 day practice is not in writing. That's not part of the justice manual. There's nothing improper

I’ve thought about how the industrialists in the early 20th century were so philanthropic…I mean maybe it was for status or ither self-serving reasons, but they did donate to universities and libraries and the arts. The tech bros do none of that. “Miserly” (and miserable) is exactly the word

This is not okay. Trump’s administration is threatening “devastating” retaliation if European officials move forward with plans that could restrict Elon Musk’s Starlink access to parts of the European market.
