Marco Rubio Is Punishing a Teenager For His Grandmother's Sins
This story is as outrageous as the student detained for an op-ed. A green card holding family interned for months for a crime they didn't commit. My latest w/ emails from inside Dilley:

Fun as usual to join at @timodc on the Bulwark pod to howl at the moon, look at the looming midterms, and go out on Creep Patrol looking for Vivek Ramaswamy!
A packed @BulwarkOnline Daily Pod: A monologue on Neil Bush for Talarico + Vivek's despicable ad. Then @murphymike on the midterm map, Elon, & whither the CA Dem party. And @MarkHertling live from Atlanta.

In 2020, Tommy Tuberville promised to donate “every dime” of his $174,000 Senate salary to Alabama veterans and their families. A June investigation found no evidence he followed through, a pledge now worth roughly $1 million.
Tuesday night, after a reporter asked about it, Tuberville told staff to remove him. Then he called the media “socialists” and “communists.”
The MAGA senator had a reporter thrown out of a campaign dinner after being confronted with an embarrassing question.

Vance: "I have never once heard Vivek say, You know what, they ran a very unfair TV advertisement against me."
Vivek: "There are attack ads on me that are outright false, that are just fabricated, attacking my business record. I don't love it."
Totally insane that our political system is set up in such a way that an industry propped up by scams and criminal enterprises can spend $55 million to try to take out a single senator.
Fairshake is up to $55 million against Sherrod Brown.

Neil Bush, brother of George W. Bush and Jeb Bush, has broken his longstanding silence on politics to back Democrat James Talarico over Ken Paxton.
@Timodc reacts: "Hopefully there are going to be a lot of Neil Bushes out there over the next two weeks."

Abdul El-Sayed last debate: "My opponent here is gonna make this about him and about me, but really in the end this is about you."
Mike Rogers tonight: "My opponent's gonna try to make this about me versus him, but I'm gonna tell you this is about you."

The difference is child rape. Hope that clears things up for you.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is apparently unprecedented. It would be just awful to activate all the members of a politician’s family to attack them…as the Democrats did with every member of RFK’s family.

Acton's mother has been estranged from her daughter for 48 years because she sided with her husband (Acton's stepfather) when Acton reported that her stepfather had sexually assaulted her. That is different than RFK Jr.'s family, whose criticism of RFK Jr is focused on policy. dispatch.com/story/news/loc…

There’s a new backlash forming: parents mad at Republicans for exposing their kids to the concept of transitioning through constant advertising

“The most despicable act that we've seen from a campaign in recent memory.”
@Timodc condemns Vivek Ramaswamy's $4 million attack ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother, who was complicit in the sexual abuse Acton suffered as a child.

FLASHBACK to JD Vance in 2022:
“I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other.”
Vance has been on Putin’s side since the beginning.
Q: "Steve Witkoff called Russian President Vladimir Putin a humanitarian for agreeing to release Stephen Hubbard. Do you agree with that?"
Vance: "I agree with Steve Witkoff saying something nice to a person who just released an American hostage…We should all be celebrating that, not be complaining about what Steve Witkoff said in order to get it done."
Amy Acton is on the JD hero journey in Hillbilly Elegy while he sides with the abusive mother.
Reporter: "Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother…Do you think that ad was appropriate?"
Vance: "I have to admit that I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisement than they are about what…Democrats want to do to the United States of America."

I know it hurts to hear, but the truth is that your father is a bumbling idiot who is helping Putin slaughter civilians in Ukraine. If I need a Miami cocaine hookup, I’ll call you! But until then, you should shut the fuck up and enjoy your corrupt crypto grift while it lasts.
You saying “dude, this was like 2 years ago” when @BretBaier asked you if you remembered changing the wording of the Benghazi terror attacks from attacks to demonstrations in the President’s talking points is one of the most humiliating things I’ve ever seen in politics.

Republicans gerrymandered this seat to be Trump+10 and have spent millions trying to win it. @johnnygarciatx is UP anyway 👀
Yeah and you would be living in a hovel in cuba if it wasn’t for the assistance of the US. That is the fucking good part of the country you ghoul @SecRubio
⚡️ Rubio says Ukraine wouldn't exist today without the US
"We're no longer going to be defensive about this topic, okay?" the US Secretary of State told reporters in a visibly irritated tone, stressing that Ukraine would not exist as a sovereign state without American assistance.
According to Rubio, the US has provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in aid, starting under the Biden administration and continuing under Trump.
At the same time, Rubio acknowledged the bravery of Ukrainian soldiers, who have "very bravely fought for their country" against a much larger nation.
What?..

Trump has provided no new aid Trump after he took office. Biden provided €30B a year.
29 countries have put $6.7B into PURL to buy US weapons, which supply about 95% of Ukraine's Patriot interceptors. US refuses to supply them.
