To argue that @AbdulElSayed’s religion makes him unfit for public office appeals to the worst demons in our nature.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, CNN's Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten just HUMILIATED Donald Trump making clear that President Obama soars above him in terms of popularity with the American people. Retweet this to ensure every American sees Trump's worst nightmare come true.

Absolutely BRUTAL two minutes for Mike Lawler on Morning Joe as the panel dismantles his faux independence: @ScarboroughNow: “Lawler voted with Donald Trump 282 out of 282 times.” Mika: “Oh wait, that’s not standing up to him.” 🧵(1/4)

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…

🚨OBAMA GOES FOR TRUMP’s JUGULAR. OBAMA: “He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.”
🚨Obama steps out at the Ohio rally! AND THE CROWD IS GOING NUTS. Trump is going to have a very bad night when he sees this.

Stop normalizing hate speech and threats of violence. The Second Amendment was made for people like this? Huh? Vivek! Shame!
.@amyactonoh on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad: "I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse... The words our leaders use matter and I think it's gonna take courage right now from all of us to stop normalizing this sort of rhetoric."

OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

BREAKINGNEWS: France President Emmanuel Macron says Vladimir Putin has refused the recent ceasefire announced by Trump. Saying Russia has continued to bomb Ukraine infrastructure just minutes later. That Europe will continue to stand with Ukriane. 🚨

Oh my god... Annie Andrews just NUKED Darline Graham with "DATA CENTER DARLINE" on live TV. 💥 Graham's response? Clutching her pearls over "name calling"... Yeah, the same woman who time and time again refused to condemn Trump for nicknaming Annie.

Another example of a completely incoherent, incompetent, woman spouting rhetoric that is anti-women’s reproductive rights, in service to a traditional subservient Alpha male set of constructs is wild!
WH Press Sec Katie Zacharia: The abortion pill has the same chemicals that they used in the extermination camps in Nazi Germany (This is totally false bullshit and deeply offensive)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Nazi gas chambers used hydrogen cyanide (Zyklon B) and carbon monoxide. Abortion pills contain neither: mifepristone is a synthetic steroid that blocks progesterone, and misoprostol is a synthetic prostaglandin analog. encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/art… accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_doc… accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_doc…

Senator Mark Kelly is publicly pushing back against Pete Hegseth. Kelly accused Hegseth of removing senior Defense Department leaders for racist and sexist reasons. Raise your hand ✋ if you support Kelly and simply tired of seeing Pete Hegseth in that office😞

Donald Trump and his sons have raked in BILLIONS while Americans struggle to make ends meet. Let's call this what it is: blatant corruption and an abuse of power.

As it should be.
Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says in a new book that his deciding vote to confirm Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is the "biggest regret of my career" and that he also "should've stopped" RFK Jr. from becoming Health and Human Services secretary. to.pbs.org/4i4JblK

🔥 @KatiePhang (With Deniro behind her): “I’m suing A.G. Todd Blanche — Trump’s cosplaying personal lawyer — for the unredacted Epstein files… as an independent journo 🗣️ I don’t have a corporate oligarch telling me what to say… Trump has been violating federal law every day.”
