I heard on Stephanie Ruhle’s MS NOW show that the administration has “encouraged “ former Hungarian strongman, Victor Orban, to run for United Nations Secretary-General.
Might I suggest the new butler position at Mar-a-Lago? Looks like he has the wings for it.
Stephanie, from one Lehigh grad to another, please stay away from distracting stories like this. Invite me on the show? @SRuhle @BasilSmiklePhD @msnow
Charlie Chaplin’s The Great Dictator (1940) gave us a powerful warning about hatred, tyranny, and the abuse of power.
Nearly nine decades later, his plea for humanity, freedom and compassion still resonates.
HAVE WE LEARNED ITS LESSONS?

Who knew that White House Communications Director Steven Cheung isn’t married & has no kids. He attended California State University,Sacramento majoring in computer & Political Science,but never earned a degree. He did graduate High School though & his parents are immigrants.

Nothing exposes the Trump-led Republican Party's disregard for competence quite like their reckless backing of the woefully unqualified Darline Graham, the political neophyte running to defend the seat of her late brother, Lindsey Graham.
Huge kudos to former South Carolina Governors David Beasley and Jim Hodges for crossing party lines to jointly endorse Democrat Dr. Annie Andrews. Their rare bipartisan show of unity sends a powerful pro-democracy message to Trump and the fascist far-right faction of the party.
Mississippi memories and a senate endorsement.
The choice? “Choose another protein” Cindy Hyde-Smith, or the Democrat who will make things more affordable and stamp out corruption, Scott Colom.
No contest. Only Scott will fight for you (also has the best campaign of the cycle). @scott_colom @cindyhydesmith #Protein
Positive news out of Serbia as nationalist strongman Vucic was voted out of office. This comes on the heals of Hungarians voting out Orban, the hardline Christian Right Nationalist and crony capitalist supreme.
Now my warning: those dangerous clowns are pikers compared to my uncle.
Democrats and Independents, and Republicans of character, we need massive turnout- mail in, early or day of voting is the way.
DEMOCRACY IS ON THE LINE. #VoteMidterm2026 #Democracy.
People with disabilities deserve an accessible opportunity to vote.
My son William uses a wheelchair and is non-verbal. Here is our message to people with disabilities, their families and caregivers.
Contact your local election office. Ask about accessibility, transportation, early voting, mail-in voting ballots, and available accommodations.
Contacting the League of Women’s voters is also a good starting point. #AccessibleVoting #DiabilityRights @LWV @abilis
Just a reminder to my Republican friends. The leader of your party has said countless times to vote in person on Election Day, November 3rd and that mail in voting is rigged. Rain or shine, vote on November 3rd. #Republicans
As we stampede toward Election Day on November 3rd, take a little time today to recharge, enjoy family and friends, and maybe even watch the Knicks and Jets win.
But take a moment to reflect on where we are as a country, and where we want to go.
We still have the power to change things.
Enjoy the day. Then let’s get back to work. #Vote2026 #CivicEngagement @nyjets @nyknicks
For Governor in Michigan, the choice is clear- Jocelyn Benson. She was tough as nails during the “big lie” of 2020/2021 fighting to secure your vote. She will lower health care costs and ensure jobs and economic growth.
Her opponent, John James, is doing the old Republican two step- kiss Donald’s ass until that doesn’t work.
My grandfather Mike, born and raised in Kalamazoo, would have no use for such a spineless lackey.
Vote Jocelyn. @JocelynBenson @JohnJamesMI @Scaramucci @RogerLau @jahimes @CaitforNewYork @lawler4ny
Where are all the Democratic billionaires? I appreciate Soros and Bloomberg, but who else is chipping in for God’s sake.
The races are tightening up every day. Why? Because Republicans do what they always do, flash the cash.
Raising money in small amounts is admirable- but we want (need) to win. Come on big money men and women, this is your chance to help save democracy. #SpendToSaveDemocracy #FundTheFight

We have all heard that Hispanic and Black voters are fleeing the Trumpublican party over affordability, immigration overreach, and other concerns. Where will they go? I hope the Democratic Party.
But Democrats must deliver on their promises as well.
Mara Gay, whose voice I consider one of the defining opinion voices of our generation, recently interviewed Black voters in Georgia. The message I took from those interviews: They do not want to be a “number” to be courted at the end of every election cycle. They want politicians to KEEP THEIR WORD.
I have been saying this for decades. Earn their vote. Keep your promises. Deliver. @MaraGay @martybaron
Ashley Moody, just another detestable MAGA pedo protecter. Vote Democrat Angie Nixon.
Guess who is in Florida to visit his favorite sycophant? Yep, DJT is there to stump for Byron “pretty please be lenient on me, but lock the others up”Donalds.
On the other hand, David Jolly is a true moderate and gentleman, who will lower costs and bring dignity to Florida.
David and I were on Deadline White House together. Terrific guy. @davidjollyfl @ByronDonalds @Scaramucci @FlaDems
At Donald’s direction, the DOJ has sued to block certification of Alaska’s Senate election if Republican Dan Sullivan loses under certain circumstances.
Think about what that means for public confidence in free and fair elections.
And remember: cowardly soon to be ex Senators Cornyn, Tilles and Cassidy voted to confirm Todd Blanche as AG amid concerns about the DOJ’s handling of the Epstein cases.
We must pay attention to what is happening in Alaska-and what it could mean for election integrity nationwide.
Alaska may be the warning. November 3rd is the test. #ProtectOurElections #Democracy @DemocracyDocket @DDAction_

Q: Why are you defending the Vivek Ramaswamy ad?
Trump: I'm defending it because I know that if the ad were about my mother, you would love every inch of it. The press has teamed up because he's a Republican and they tried to make it like it's a horrible thing. This is a mother saying very bad things about her daughter. I don't know why that should be shielded.
You are a class act Amy. Cheering you on. FT
"I think it was a horrible and hideous thing to do, a sad thing, and I feel like it was an exploitative thing to do. My mother is not well."
Ohio gubernatorial candidate Democrat Amy Acton is slamming her opponent Republican Vivek Ramaswamy after his campaign put out an attack ad with her estranged mother calling her a "liar." Acton says she has not seen her birth mother since she was 12, adding that she and her brother "experienced extreme abuse and neglect over a period of many years" at the hands of her mother and stepfather.
