NEW: Scott Presler allowed multiple out of state GOP operatives to use his home in Pennsylvania to vote in the '24 election. Those operatives then left the state. Election lawyers say this could be in violation of PA voting laws.

A hack of a secretary of defense dropping and breaking Ike's globe, as the administration breaks the world order, is one of those things an editor would cut for being too on the nose.

To me there’s one very obvious reason Elizabeth Holmes doesn’t seem to understand what she did was wrong in You Can See Everything that I haven’t seen anyone mention and it’s not because “her mind works differently” it’s because a lawyer told her never to admit guilt on camera after a court orders you to pay $452 million in restitution if you were ever hoping to get it reduced.

Amy Acton’s estranged mother knew her husband had a daughter from a previous marriage who’d also accused him of rape.
But when 12-year-old Amy told her mom that he was raping her, instead of concluding she was married to a pedophile rapist she concluded both girls were lying.
Tapper: Trump's closing argument akin to 'we stand by those who stand by child rapists'
Hear unearthed audio from Amy Acton's estranged mother, who is featured in Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's controversial ad.

Top government lawyer claims to be representing Kushner, who keeps insisting he is not a government employee or advisor.
Before publication, we sent Simon & Schuster a detailed 13-page letter responding to and categorically denying the extraordinary allegations made against my client, Jared Kushner, and challenging the total absence of supporting evidence.
Vanity Fair has now published an excerpt amplifying these false and defamatory allegations. We have seen no credible evidence substantiating any of these claims, and we question what independent verification Vanity Fair conducted before publishing them.
We intend to pursue legal action against those responsible and hold them accountable.

Can't script this: A week after TX-34 candidate Eric Flores sent a cease-and-desist to take down a Dem ad showing him next to Trump, the WH announces POTUS will be going to ... TX-34
A sign of the times ahead of November: GOP candidate Eric Flores is in a tough race to try to flip a South Texas seat — and he wants to pull down a billboard ad by his opponent Rep. Vicente Gonzalez promoting his endorsement from Trump and his support of ICE.

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.
