The Columbus Dispatch Editorial Board just endorsed Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton for Ohio governor. The board sharply criticized GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, calling his aggressive campaign tactics—specifically an attack ad involving Acton's estranged mother—disqualifying.

JD Vance just held an outrageous news conference in which he defended Ramaswamy's vile attacks on Amy Acton, agreed with Steve Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had the gall to claim "there is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump" Here's a supercut:

Pat McAfee said he was upset because of a video posted on university social media accounts ahead of “GameDay,” in which students were asked to give their best McAfee impression. One student said he loved McAfee, but that McAfee should stop taking his shirt off in front of kids.

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party.  We are better than this. We have a responsibility to show it. Today we endorse Democrat Amy Acton for governor." cleveland.com/open/2026/10/w…

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

The most surprising battleground race is shaping up in ruby red Kansas, which hasn't elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate since 1932. But Rev. Adam Hamilton, the pastor of the largest United Methodist congregation in the country, could buck that trend. abcnews.link/wz9iI3Y

Can a Democrat flip the Kansas Senate seat for the first time in nearly a century?

Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

Due to the recent attack ads in Ohio by the Ramaswamy campaign I am donating the maximum allowable by law to Amy Acton. I’m a life long Republican I don’t know @amyactonoh or her policies and frankly I don’t care. Some things are bigger than party.
