.@amyactonoh on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad:
"I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse... The words our leaders use matter and I think it's gonna take courage right now from all of us to stop normalizing this sort of rhetoric."
Marco Rubio says "Nobody ordered that Starlink speed to slow down. It sorta happened"
Prosecute all of these liars. People got killed by Russia because of this.
Tucker: “She gets up and says RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES — and some (Trump supporter) punches her in the face? And the president says she’s scum? What the hell?”
UNCG, A&T, Bennett and Greensboro College students walked to the polls yesterday. Here’s just UNCG students leaving campus to walk the 40 minutes to their new polling location. You’ll recognize a familiar face with them — @TobyHampson4NC! ⬇️ #SpartansVote
🚨BOMBSHELL: Jon Ossoff says Trump’s son-in-law is negotiating with PUTIN to sell Russian oil assets to Trump family allies, and they’ve already “poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.”
The entire Trump family belongs in PRISON! Where is the media??

Meta suppressed accounts supporting Brazil President Lula da Silva in the recent election.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok blocked advertising for a documentary criticizing Elon Musk.
Fight back. Defeat oligarchy. Preserve democracy.
He says the name just fine when he’s begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-law’s private equity firm.
Wonder what’s changed?
Unlike Trump and his allies, Marc Elias has not spent the last decade stewing or concocting baseless conspiracies.

ICE just tried to kidnap a US BORN CITIZEN in Long Beach. The neighborhood blocked them in and didn’t let them take her away! She was able to escape, thanks to her community. FUCK THESE LOSERS, THEYRE SCARED OF US. STAY ALERT, STAY ARMED, STAY READY.

Abdul-Sayed: "I can't wait to sit across from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and have a serious conversation with him. He uses complicated terminology he doesn't understand. Since I'm a medical school graduate, I understand it somewhat. I hold an MD and a master's in public health. He's just a guy who takes his kids swimming at Sheets Creek."
BASH: There was a protester during your debate with Susan Collins. She responded by saying 'this must be a Troy Jackson supporter' and you told the senator 'shut up.' Do you regret saying that?
TROY JACKSON: No. I'm not going to be talked down to by Sen. Collins. I'm not going to apologize for that, no.
WELKER: What do you say to voters who say they're struggling and want change?
BESSENT: Well, why don't we revisit the Biden-era policies
WELKER: President Trump has been in office now for 636 days, and inflation was at 3% when he took office, it's 3.7% now. At what point does the administration take responsibility?
