I would submit that Hunter Biden holding a 1-point lead in this ridiculous hypothetical actually says something significant about our political moment in time.

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.

NEWS:
Former Sen. Rob Portman, an Ohio Republican, tells me Vivek should take down the ad
“The increasing incivility in the political arena should concern us all. This ad is an unfortunate example of that broader trend. It crosses the line. I hope the ad will be taken down and the final days of the campaign will focus on policy differences.”

White House's top MAHA policy official — and the RFK adviser who initially linked him up with Trump — is quitting two weeks before the midterms
I am resigning from the White House with tremendous respect for President Trump and Bobby Kennedy.
They laid out a vision of combatting the entrenched, dark forces in DC that profit from Americans getting sick.
More policy and cultural change has happened around these goals in the past 2 years than any time in history - and I know this movement is just getting started.
It was an honor to advocate for MAHA moms in the administration and steer policies like Dietary Guidelines reform, psychedelic reform, removing soda from SNAP, removing food dyes, GRAS reform, and overhauling government food procurement.

This is a good point.
If you followed the Trump administration's jihad against Anthropic over restrictive terms of use for Claude, then you're not going to buy its Ukraine blame-shifting to Musk -- as if Starshield terms of use are none of the administration's business ... nationalreview.com/corner/no…
Big news here.
One of the earliest goals the Trump administration set for the Iran war was neutralizing the threat of its proxies.
Now the US is evacuating staff in a nearby country because one of those proxies is such a threat.

Let me reassure you, this is not schtick and this is not some PR ploy. This is 100% authentic Todd Young. Anyone else who has worked for him will confirm the same. It was always a required stop after a long day of district visits or campaigning, and he always knew where the closest one was.

I’ve kept my mouth shut for a long time about #meangirl @megynkelly. She used to be one of my closest friends and then she ghosted me after she endorsed @andrewcuomo for mayor and I told her she broke my heart. Her comments about @1capplegate are disgusting. Having #MS for over 20 years, she knows how long it took for doctors to diagnose me. I think Christina is brave for telling the truth and I’m grateful she became a voice for so many of us. I will have much more to say about this when I’m well enough. I’ve been sick for several weeks in and out of the hospital but when I’m well enough I will comment more. realitytea.com/2026/10/21/me…
