I say it plainly: I do not celebrate Castro. I call Cuba what it is, an authoritarian regime, and I will fight for the Cuban families who fled it.
Meanwhile, Ashley Moody backs deporting Cuban families back to the regime they escaped.

@OccupyDemocrats The only person worse than JD is his wife. She allows her husband to disrespect her and her family for money. She’s not a victim. She knows her role. She’s very educated. They understand the price that must be paid. This is America. The racism is part of the program,
@OccupyDemocrats I often think of Vance’s wife and children when he makes these racist statements. Are hurt by them? Does his wife not feel insulted? How about his in-laws? I don’t understand the dynamics of this family.
BREAKING: NAILED IT! Fearless journalist Mehdi Hasan savages JD Vance for being a shameless racist despite having an Indian family.
This is a knockout punch...
"JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces," Hasan wrote on X, responding to a vile Vance campaign rally clip.
"Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies? Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws," he added.
The clip in question showed Vance engaging in the kind of lowest common denominator, xenophobic, gleefully ignorant rhetoric that has defined the Republican Party's messaging this entire election cycle. They know that they can't fix gas prices or improve affordability because of Trump's interminable, disastrous Iran War, so they're mashing the big racist button as hard as they can.
"A very distinctive memory I have of right after 9/11, I was a young man in high school," said Vance. "I remember that sense of pride, you remember that? That all of us had, Democrat, Republican, and Independent in our country. And I remember driving to a local gas station to wait hours in line for gasoline...
"That was now, of course, more expensive because of a region of the world made up of countries of names that I couldn't even pronounce," he said.
The joke there, folks, is that Arabic names are alien sounding and impossible to pronounce for a simple country boy like James David Vance. Who exactly finds this kind of provincial, bigoted material appealing? The infuriating irony, of course, is that while Vance can't "pronounce" Arabic names, he has absolutely no problem dropping bombs on Arabs in Gaza.
This is the deal with the MAGA Devil that Vance has made. He wants to be the leader of a party that is now unashamedly white nationalist, but his entire family is Indian-American. His wife's name used to be Usha Chilukuri. One of his sons is named Vivek.
Vance is so power-hungry that he is actively creating a world that is more hostile to his own flesh and blood. He's a disgusting, spineless creature who can never be permitted to inhabit the White House.
Please like and share if you think that Vance is a disgrace!
CBS deleted this post and reposted it admitting that their original one was misleading. And the misleading post from CBS was intentionally misleading, not an innocent mistake. CBS continues to lose credibility.
TRUMP: "ANOTHER RIGGED ELECTION."
But the numbers challenge his accusation.
Brazil extended voting by two hours after weather and transportation disruptions.
Votes cast during the extension: FEWER THAN 35,000.
Lula's margin of victory: 4.4 MILLION.
Even if every additional vote went to Lula, the winner would not change.
Trump presented no evidence of election fraud.
THE EXTENSION DIDN'T DECIDE THE ELECTION. THE NUMBERS AREN'T EVEN CLOSE.
Watch Trump make the claim.
Trump just made the claim that Venezuela personally gave him "a million barrels of oil," and he's giving it to America.
"We took over Venezuela very successfully, and they've sent me as a gift a boatload of a million barrels of oil, and I'm giving that to the United States of America."
🚨BREAKING: The woman punched in the face at Trump’s Youngstown rally has filed a report seeking to press charges, and the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating three men.
The woman was wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt when she started shouting during the Oct. 12 rally at the Covelli Centre. Videos show three Trump supporters going after her, and at least one punched her in the face and pulled her hair, The Vindicator reports. Others can be seen restraining her as she was attacked. Deputies removed her. The Trump supporters were permitted to stay.
Trump stopped speaking, then said: “He’s a paid protester. They’re all paid.” He misidentified her gender and made fun of her weight. No evidence has been offered that she was paid. According to Newsweek, she told The New York Times that no organization coordinated or financed her appearance and (surprise) ordinary citizens can want powerful p*dophiles held accountable.
No arrests were made that night. Sheriff Jerry Greene said deputies didn’t see the assault and she hadn’t filed a report. His office then found her through social media and her if she would like to press charges. She said yes. As of Oct. 21, the sheriff said he’d identified three men, two from the area and one from New Jersey. The two area men want lawyers present for their interviews.
Separately, a man named Russell Dickert bragged that he and “a friend” named Gary his son Clint “subdued her and threw her to the concrete.” Dickert’s LinkedIn, located by Reich-Wing Watch, happened to list his residence in New Jersey. Police haven’t disclosed the identify of the three suspects they identified.
Prosecutor Lynn Maro said her office’s information indicates a misdemeanor assault, though Greene said the woman’s injuries could change that.
The woman has been identified as Blake Miley, 29. She’s represented by civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra. Whether to charge anyone is up to prosecutors.

Zelensky says Ukraine and Trump agree on the need to end Russia’s war, but differ on the tools needed to achieve it. In an interview with The Sun, he argued that Ukrainians understand Putin and Russian society better than the United States because of their shared Soviet past and long history as neighbors.
Zelensky said speaking openly and telling partners the truth is part of Ukraine’s defense strategy. He also argued that Ukraine’s decentralized digital infrastructure has helped it withstand repeated Russian attacks on data centers, while Russian systems are more centralized and therefore more vulnerable to Ukrainian retaliation.

🚨 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE: EIGHT-YEAR-OLD ADRIAN THOMPSON’S FINAL MOMENTS - DEVASTATING NEWLY RELEASED WITNESS STATEMENTS
Please be advised that the footage is extremely distressing to watch. I ask everyone who watches or discusses it to remember that this was a child whose family continues to grieve an unimaginable SENSELESS loss. I will be transparent and say that NOTHING about this investigation has ever sat right with me.
I have spent considerable time investigating the tragic death of eight-year-old Adrian Thompson, who died following a choking incident at Velma Penny Elementary School in Lindale, Texas, on April 15, 2026.
I previously reported on the Texas Rangers’ investigative findings, including significant concerns surrounding the school’s emergency response, the DELAY in choking intervention, and the use of ADULT-sized LifeVac masks.
But now, after reviewing the newly released surveillance footage, I am even more disturbed by what happened that day. I warn you, the absolute lack of urgency during those critical moments is both heartbreaking and infuriating.
You will see an eight-year-old little girl visibly struggle, desperately attempting to communicate that something is wrong.
According to the Rangers’ timeline, Adrian began exhibiting visible signs of choking at approximately 1140 am. She was grabbing at her throat, attempting to clear her mouth, and showing signs of distress.
She was subsequently directed toward a trash can by school employee Chelsea Wiggins, who stated that she initially believed Adrian was going to vomit.
Rather than immediately receiving documented choking intervention, back blows, or any apparent attempt to address a potential airway obstruction, Adrian was asked whether she needed to use the restroom.
Adrian eventually left the cafeteria and ran toward the nurse’s office, alone.
It is also worth noting that Chelsea Wiggins remains employed by Lindale ISD.
A separate eyewitness statement I obtained describes Adrian panicking and communicating her need for help through her body movements.
That witness wrote:
“The teacher only walked her out the cafeteria but didn’t walk with her to the nurse. The little girl ran by her self to the nurses office.”
Other employee statements describe an adult following Adrian toward the nurse. However, none of these accounts eliminates the serious questions surrounding the response during those initial moments.
Nearly two minutes had passed between Adrian’s first visible signs of distress and her arrival at the nurse’s office, according to the Rangers’ timeline.
The nurse’s own documentation indicates that she began the Heimlich maneuver after Adrian started turning blue. Documentation also states that 911 was not called from the nurse’s station, but from a separate office instructed BY the nurse’s station.
Side note of information: After researching the nurse’s license, public records show that Lindale ISD is the only school she has been employed by from 1998 until present.
Adrian subsequently collapsed after the Heimlich failed. Efforts to resuscitate her were unsuccessful.
I am deeply troubled by the apparent failure to recognize the severity of this emergency sooner.
As a mother, watching this footage is extremely difficult. As an independent journalist, I believe it raises questions that deserve answers.
I also previously reported that the two LifeVac devices examined by the Texas Rangers had ADULT masks attached, despite Adrian being only eight years old.
I am releasing this footage in the interest of public awareness and accountability, not to sensationalize Adrian’s death or exploit her family’s unimaginable loss. It has been shared with PERMISSION from the family.
Parents deserve to know that the schools entrusted with their children’s safety are adequately prepared to respond when SECONDS matter.
Staff statements will be shared in the thread.
