Who are you kidding? @jdvance is never living in Ohio again. He’s buying a home in Middleburg, Virginia. He vacations in The Cotswolds. You think he has any interest in Ohio? He’s done used them up.
If I'm JD Vance and Acton wins? I don't think I run for president in 2028. I move back home "to let my kids have a normal childhood," run against Acton in 2030 (possibly during a Democratic midterm) and then run for president in 2036.

Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is using Amy Acton's estranged mom, who sided with her childhood abuser, to attack her credibility. But who's bankrolling him? @JoePerticone follows the corporate PAC money fueling Ramaswamy's campaign and how it's being spent. lnk.thebulwark.com/4iCXKMH?u…

I can attest that they "knew" each other well before 2000. It was the worst kept secret in Lansing.

Mike Rogers became chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. Months later, his wife's defense contracting firm landed a billion-dollar government deal. As the couple's wealth grew, so did questions about the arrangement. @Timodc walks @AdamKinzinger through the timeline.

Major revelation here from @Timodc on the Mike and Kristi Rogers scandal. We reported that she was Paul Bremer’s press aid in Iraq and that he traveled there frequently as a married member of Congress. He divorced his first wife in 2007 and married Kristi in 2010. Rogers joined the Intel committee in 2005. In 2006, Kristi launched the U.S. subsidiary of Aegis, a defense contractor, which quickly started getting massive contracts. Tim Miller adds a key detail: Kristi Clemens was Rogers’ finance director for his 2000 campaign. So they knew each other this entire time. Rogers and his wife threatened to sue us over our first story. We stand by our reporting.

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. thedailybeast.com/maga-senat…

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."

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. youtube.com/watch?v=ww9fTNrW…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
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…

“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."

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.
Replying to @TVietor08
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.
