🚨 BREAKING: Obama: "I spent 8 years cleaning up the mess Republicans left me, then handed it to Trump. 75 straight months of job growth. All he did was give tax cuts to people who don't need them, increasing the deficit, and now he wants to do it again."

BOMBSHELL: In the new House Judiciary report that details horrifying allegations against Donald Trump, Beatrice Keul who told Congress that Trump RAPED her in a says he then pressured her to stay silent. She alleges Trump promised her admission to NYU and help securing a visa through Paolo Zampolli. Jeffrey Epstein allegedly approached her that same day, calling himself “Don’s best friend” and offering to pay for a trip to Mar-a-Lago. And here’s the stunning connection: Zampolli is the very same modeling agent credited with bringing Melania to America and introducing her to Trump in 1998. The report says it includes corroborating evidence from others at the pageant. VOTE DEMOCRAT. GET ANSWERS & JUSTICE!

"I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune." There is no slogan more fitting for this White House.
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 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…

This is just pure racism. Republicans objectively are campaigning on little more than bigotry.
Trump: El-Sayed would be the only senator that will have to go through a metal detector before he's allowed to go into the Senate. I want him to have a metal detector

Trump's DOJ told a judge how to rule. Then it pulled her from court. Karen Donoso Stevens' allegations, which she's sharing publicly because of her deep concern for the court's integrity, were corroborated by her extensive contemporaneous notes as well as colleagues, family and private attorneys interviewed by WaPo. They contradict Trump officials' insistence that — as required by law — immigration judges serve as independent arbiters of justice. washingtonpost.com/nation/20…

Attorney General Todd Blanche on President Trump saying he recommended the Alaska election lawsuit: @margbrennan: “When the president said, ‘I'm the one that said do it,' who did he tell to do it?” AG Blanche: “I will never, ever, ever talk about communications that I have with the president of the United States. I never have, and I never will.” @margbrennan: “No, the president of the United States said this on camera. He said, ‘I told them to do it.’ Did he tell that to you?” AG Blanche: “No, that wasn’t your question. No, he didn't say that on camera.” @margbrennan: “Yes, he did.”
