Interest on the national debt topped $1 trillion this fiscal year. That’s $87 billion more than we spent on defense.

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
Democratic Senate candidate Adam Hamilton says he's fighting for the 'rights of all people'

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.
Statement from First Lady MK Pritzker discussing a $500,000 investment to support Amy Acton for Ohio Governor. The statement criticizes certain political behaviors and expresses endorsement for Amy Acton, emphasizing the importance of standing against divisive and extremist actions.

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.

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.
