I think people are struggling financially. I think they see a president & an admin that seems to be profiting off of their coffers when people can't afford groceries that are...more expansive than they were a year ago. - @_Britt_Martinez on @Forbes.

Disagree on policy all you want, but what we're seeing in Ohio is appalling. Bring common sense & decency back to politics!
You can oppose Amy Acton’s policies without exploiting her childhood abuse. That should be an easy distinction for anyone asking to lead a state. This isn’t toughness. It’s a failure of judgment and basic decency. Ramaswamy is wrong, period.

Are career foreign service officers being asked how they voted during promotion interviews? A new report exposes troubling questions regarding political loyalty tests at the State Department. Is this policy alignment or a return to the spoil system? washingtonsun.com/administra…

Thank you @JohnKasich! Common decency and respect still matter.
I was asked today on MSNOW about the recent ad in the Ohio governor’s race. It’s completely inappropriate and has no place in American politics. It should be taken off the air, and those responsible should apologize. Here’s what I had to say.

Our republic relies on a professional, nonpartisan civil service bound by the rule of law and the Constitution not political litmus tests. Questioning foreign service officers on their past votes for promotion betrays core institutional values. Merit and integrity over party fealty. washingtonsun.com/administra…

🚨🚨Principles First Alert: Thank you @GovMikeDeWine. There are certain lines in politics that shouldn't be crossed—this is one of them. Exploiting childhood trauma proves why integrity, character, and virtue matter and why truth, honesty, and facts must be non-negotiable. We need principled leadership over political cruelty.
Gov. Mike DeWine talks about Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s mother saying she is lying about her past - “the ad is deeply, deeply troubling” and that when you know the full story “it makes it more wrong”

Outer space is no longer just a frontier—it’s actively becoming a battlefield. As Russian satellites play a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse with U.S.-operated radar assets, our security depends on rules, not tribalism. Read the full report: axios.com/2026/10/22/space-w…

As he should. Witkoff’s remark was beyond embarrassing. Our allies in the Ukraine do not see Putin as a humanitarian, but see him for what he is - a murderous gangster and dictator.

No. Putin is stone cold killer.
Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.
