An interesting trend recently is Trump comms staffers being 100 percent confident the supporters they're talking to won't click the link in question.
Despite what we provided to this outlet, they chose to both completely misrepresent what we provided and run with a false narrative.
Specifically, they misrepresented the concept of "fidelity." "Fidelity" refers to upholding the Constitution and the law and executing policy with loyalty to the American people and their interests.
It emphasizes the critical importance of service, integrity, and policy alignment across the Foreign Service.
It is not about partisan behavior but rather about executing the President’s vision for foreign policy.

Q: Amy Acton's mother has not cared for her in about 50 years after her step dad was indicted for raping her. Why should anymore listen to what the mother says?
TRUMP: Well, I know nothing about it. All I know is the mother said very bad things about Acton. I think you have to take that seriously.

The other day I was wearing my Nazi uniform and a stranger said “go Falcons!” and it was extremely embarrassing, you never want to be associated with an organization like that.

In practice, this stance boils down to "if you ever share a moral critique with a liberal, you're a RINO traitor." Which is how you end up searing off most of your moral nerve endings.
It's an important message for the next generation of Republicans.
We can't return to the pre-Trump GOP, which kowtowed and buckled to the liberal media's hypocritical, one-sided critiques.
Trump taught the GOP it's okay to fight back, and that shouldn't change. Offense!

A genuine political problem for both Vance and Vivek is that, unlike Trump, neither of them quite has the stomach to be as unapologetically, leeringly cruel as the MAGA base demands.
After backing Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad at a rally and saying he was “disgusted” by Republicans “whining” about it, JD Vance said, "Getting into the middle of that drama is not something I want to do.”

At some point it's all just too much, no? People putting politics above basic human decency? Normal people still find this stuff repulsive, right?
President Trump strongly defends Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mom. Trump: “That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, ‘hitting pay dirt.’”

It's so strange that all these guys hyped up this as specifically an *election* story, as opposed to just an opportunity to dunk on the dead. A deceased former senator is not a senator!
I have been given exclusive information about a closeted Republican Senator who used male escorts and covered it up. I will be dropping a video about it this morning.
Stay tuned. This is certainly an October surprise.

Trump says Vivek should keep up the ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mom: "I only wish the mothers of my opponents would be so brave as to come forward and explain that their son or daughter is a liar, and much worse."

Amy Acton's mom could learn a thing or two from Pete Hegseth's!

Amy Acton’s mom could have a spotless record and that ad would still be vile—because a mom throwing her kid to the wolves for *politics* is unconscionable no matter the circumstances. I don’t trust a parent who does that, and I don’t trust a politician who solicits it.

'As we walked, I told Holmes that I heard Jennifer Lawrence had recently pulled out of portraying her in a movie. She looked over at me, and said: “They’re not playing me. They’re playing a character I created.” As she walked a couple of steps ahead, I wrote down her exact words in my notebook.'
In today's @nytimes Backstory newsletter, I talk to Amy Chozick about the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary and Holmes's dispute over a quote from Chozick's NYT profile of her. The movie brings up the quote several times as it assesses Holmes's veracity. nytimes.com/2026/10/22/insid…

The Trump presidency is an unprecedented victory for socialism. Not only for what it's doing, but because the Republican party can't object on ideological grounds.
Paves that road to socialism, w/o good intentions.
Of course, of course: "Trump turned the government into an investor. Democrats have shopping plans, too." semafor.com/article/10/21/20…
"We’re through the looking glass"
"The sky’s the limit"
"The Trump administration has opened up Pandora’s box"

Now here's a fun and timely paper, finding that Trump's 2025 tariffs increased US beef prices by as much as $2/lb.
Might be relevant over the next couple weeks, I dunno.
