Where I'm from, you don't buy wood from people who break their word, screw people over, and cheat. I wouldn't buy a cord of wood from Susan Collins. And I sure as hell wouldn't vote for her for U.S. Senate.

Thank you to a former Trump official for saying what a lot of centrist Democrats refuse to. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Pretty rich for Haley Stevens to lecture Abdul El-Sayed about “hate” over an ad his campaign has explicitly disavowed while Mike Rogers is running one of the most racist and bigoted campaigns I’ve ever seen. The hate in this race is being directed at Abdul, not coming from him.

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.
NEW: I obtained the full Trumbull County file for Amy Acton's stepfather's 1974 charge which shows that he was indicted for incest involving his 16-year-old biological daughter in 1973. The sheriff was then unable to locate him to serve him a summons in the county and nothing further happened in the case. Donna Arthur, featured in Vivek Ramaswamy's still-running campaign ad, married Cledith the next year in a neighboring county.

Daylight robbery. A billion-dollar corporation — that's making record profits for its executives & doing billions in stock buybacks — should not be paying less in taxes than any working American.

We need to reshape our tax code FOR working people.
If you paid $1 in federal income taxes last year, you paid more than: Disney American Airlines Citigroup CVS DoorDash GoDaddy H&R Block HP Kohl’s Ticketmaster Palantir PayPal Roku Southwest Airlines Tesla United Airlines Pizza Hut Taco Bell KFC Absurd. We need REAL tax reform.

We've spent years marinating in right wing conspiracy theories about George Soros on social media just for Elon Musk to buy social media and outspend George Soros on far right causes in two years
Elon Musk has spent more money on American elections in the last two years than George Soros has in his entire life.

Look I’m a huge defender of golf courses despite their inefficiency of land use. I’ll even defend private courses. But there’s something about the fact that this is DC — and a multi-use park, not just a current golf course — that makes this incredibly gross. Shameful development.
Good article today from the NYT. I have still yet to hear one good reason why we should get rid of a broad, multi purpose space to satisfy one thing and one thing only. It defies imagination and what PUBLIC space is meant to be. nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

How tf is this legal? If a company is proud to stand by their work and what they are doing at East Potomac they wouldn’t be doing this
The debris trucks I photographed yesterday at the East Potomac Golf Course with taped-over logos also went so far as to tape over their license plates. Just re-watched the video I shot of them arriving and noticed that.

AI generated music is 1000x better than real music. Today I canceled Spotify and SiriusXM because I finally tested Suno. What sold me was the first prompt I gave it: “My favorite artists are A Day to Remember, Bring Me The Horizon, Spiritbox, Bad Omens, and Sleep Token. Analyze all their hits and generate a song I’m likely to love based on those artists.” It one shots an absolute banger in 10 seconds. I'll link the song in the next tweet for anyone curious. Why would I ever go back to Spotify/SiriusXM when I can generate music perfectly tailored to my taste on command, for free? Not affiliated with Suno in any way btw, it was just one of those moments where I was so impressed with AI’s capability I had to say something about it.

This is how you know what you’re doing is totally cool and above board.
The trucks being used to haul away the debris from the East Potomac Golf Course have had tape placed over the company names on the side of the trucks.

Ted Cruz also believes he is good at basketball.
I believe Abdul El-Sayed is Muslim Brotherhood. If he were to win, Chuck Schumer could place him on the Senate Intelligence Committee. He would have access to the very highest level of classified materials. There would be an unacceptably high risk that the lives of American servicemen and women would be endangered, because there’s every reason to believe El-Sayed would share that classified information with Muslim Brotherhood terrorists.

GM just announced the biggest stock buyback in automotive industry history. Instead of investing in their workers or new product lines, GM executives are robbing from the future to pay themselves and their shareholders today. Stock buybacks should be illegal.

Since Vivek Ramaswamy wants to talk mothers. He and his mother promoted a drug they said helped treat Alzheimer’s when both of them knew the drug had failed clinical trials. Weeks before another failed clinical trial cratered the stock price, Vivek Ramaswamy cashed out.

Few people in this country are more directly responsible for putting millions of children into poverty than Joe Manchin.
Former @Sen_JoeManchin (I-WV) calls Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) the "soul of the Senate" and says that America as a whole, not just Maine, loses if the Senate loses Collins.

Susan Collins is campaigning with Joe Manchin, who serves as an advisor to the private equity firm Apollo Global Management, which looted paper mills in Jay & Bucksport, killing hundreds of Maine jobs.

This is absolutely disgusting and the act of a desperate campaign. This woman lost custody of her kids because her husband abused Amy. How anyone can look at that and say, "let's put her on air," is beyond me. Every consultant and operative who worked on or paid for this should be permanently out of politics.
BOMBSHELL: Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter. “My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America. I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem. She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life. My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that. Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.” That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Acton’s stepfather abused her from age 9 to 12 and was criminally charged, and the family lived in a tent in winter. Her brother confirms they were removed from their mother’s custody. Acton’s stayed married to the stepfather until he died. sources: vindyarchives.com/news/2019/aug/… wkbn.com/news/elections… justthenews.com/politics-polic… mediaite.com/politics/vivek…

Dear @SenWhitehouse and @SenatorHeinrich, are you going to allow your bill to harm DC like this?
There’s a bill in Congress right now, the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026, that would make it almost impossible to stop what’s happening at East Potomac. It would let federal agencies unilaterally decide historic preservation doesn’t matter, narrow what even counts as “harm” to a historic place, and strip courts of the power to meaningfully review agency decisions. This is the exact playbook NPS has already used at East Potomac. Rushed paperwork. A 7 year old report used as cover. A claim of “no adverse effect” that doesn’t survive basic scrutiny. If this bill passes, the legal fight that’s currently working, the one that got a judge to stop the bulldozers, becomes a lot harder to win, for this park and every historic place in the country. East Potomac isn’t an isolated story. It’s a preview. Call your senators. Tell them to oppose the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act of 2026 as written.
