“Todd Blanche must have slept through the history lesson on Watergate..” On CNN, I had a few things to say about the DOJ election lawsuit in Alaska and Trump’s potential midterm interference.

Vote these corrupt Republicans OUT!
Anna Paulina Luna has voted six times to continue the Iran war. Now we might know why. Her husband owns 10% of Nokturnal AI, a drone startup she valued at just $1,000 in 2025 that has since raked in $37 million in Pentagon contracts. Coincidence? We don’t think so. Luna talks a big game about fighting corruption, but the rules never seem to apply when it’s her pockets that are being lined. motherjones.com/politics/202…

Remember this? Same ad maker behind the disgusting Ramaswamy ad🤨🤨
The man behind Kristi Noem’s infamous horseback commercial has been exposed as the creator of Vivek Ramaswamy’s vile attack ad, a new report alleges. thedailybeast.com/ice-barbie…

Every one of the corporations listed here gave money to Ramaswamy’s campaign. They should be asked if they are ok with their money being used for this purpose. If yes, they should be shamed from here to kingdom come.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

Why are Trump and JD Vance on the side of predators? First Epstein, now this. America is Watching. We will never forget who protected predators. Help us spread the word.
.@JuddLegum (via @HuffPost) offers a new detail in the horrible saga that has enveloped the Ohio gubernatorial race. In addition to raping Amy Acton for several years when he was her stepdad, this same man was also charged with raping his own daughter in 1974. This is who Trump has sided with.

Have you seen this disgusting attack ad against @amyactonoh (D) in OH? Vivek Ramaswamy has always been insufferably sleezy, but this is next level. Weaponizing a woman’s childhood sexual abuse is despicable. And so is her mother for doing it.

Let’s be clear, Trump said politically weaponizing the circumstances around Any Acton’s childhood rape is “fair game.” Given his record, this tracks. Trump is a wretched human being.

As I’ve said many times before, the Trump administration is a crime syndicate. This is outrageous.
The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

Whoa. The U.S. added 90% fewer jobs in 2025 than originally reported. That’s not a rounding error. That’s a massive difference between the economy Americans were told we had and the one we actually had.
When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

🚨🚨🚨Guys…they are up to something.

Vance and Trump are pariahs …and rightfully so
This is what TOTAL HUMILIATION looks like: JD Vance attempted to greet Cincinnati Bengals players in the locker room and got snubbed and ghosted by every single player except one.

A billionaire wanted a pardon. His family gave a $50 million deal to Alina Habba, a lawyer with close ties to President Trump. nyti.ms/4zNq59Z

These Trump sycophants are as traitorous as he is. Putin and Trump “humanitarians?” This is beyond appeasement, it’s full blown capitulation to an enemy of America.
Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

Bravo 👏 Talarico’s comms team is A+
New Talarico ad running statewide: "Ken Paxton says, I don't have his experience, and he's right. "I've never been indicted for fraud. I've never been reported to the FBI for bribery. I've never been impeached by my own party, and I've never given a sweetheart deal to a pedophile. "I have a different kind of experience. I've worked with both parties to cap the cost of insulin and pass the largest property tax cut in Texas history. I'm James Tallarico and I approve this message because we need a different kind of experience in Washington."
