Pow. One of the last decent leaders in the GOP speaks up. DeWine is always a class act. Was strong on Trump’s Haiti smear too. Old School GOP. (Tangentially, he also built the first excellent state highway EV charging network in U.S. with GM/EVgo while other Govs just screwed around)
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”

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.
There is something deeply wrong with Talarico

The Republican freakout over Slotkin shows the party will rally around Trump's corruption the moment he faces any consequence theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

Congratulations to both Steve Miller and Jared Kushner for nailing it….
BREAKING: Stephen Miller and Jared Kushner are reportedly blaming each other for the GOP's midterm meltdown, with Miller calling the Iran War "Jared's folly," and Kushner pointing out that Republicans were gaining Hispanic voters until Miller turned ICE into a "US Gestapo."

El-Sayed campaign statement following tonight's debate: "Abdul is not a socialist, has not been endorsed by the DSA, and is a capitalist who wants to have a healthy and functional system of capitalism in America."

I encourage DC voters to vote YES for i-86, prohibiting the sale of foie gras in the city. Is this the most pressing issue in the city? No! But there's something worthwhile about eliminating just a bit of unnecessary cruelty in this world. More info in next tweet -->

What are the chances there is a Blue tsunami? Axios reports Republicans fear Mississippi could be in play. @ScarboroughNow called Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad “the worst political ad we’ve ever seen.” @ThirdWayKessler invoked 1994. @Albydelphia argued the Michigan Senate race is far from a lock for Abdul El-Sayed. @willrahn and I covered it all on “2WAY Tonight” — with plenty of input from the 2WAY community, including some love for Joe. @2WAYTVAPP youtube.com/watch?v=yXVewk9P…

Trump officials who commit crimes should face accountability, and when I said that out loud, the Trump administration and his allies took it personally. That should tell you something.

BREAKING: Senate Majority PAC is launching a statewide ad campaign SLAMMING Roger Marshall for having his own patients arrested for medical debt. He went after patients who owed as little as $101. That’s pure greed.

This hero is reportedly Somali-American, but the usual suspects on here don't seem so keen to point that out in this case...

It's quite surprising how so few Democrats are talking about tariffs, given how unpopular they are. We're talking with NY-21's @BlakeGendebien — nobody quite expected this Canada border seat to become so competitive, but tariffs are one reason why. theargumentmag.com/live-stre…

.@SenatorSlotkin is a patriot, who has sworn an oath to serve multiple times. She called out blatant corruption and she was right to do so. It's unacceptable to use the justice system to threaten your political opponents. These continued attacks against her are dangerous, and they are offensive to the ideals we all hold as Americans. It needs to stop.
Just a few hours ago, President Trump said in the Oval Office that I should be tried in court because I dared to talk about the corruption coming out of the White House. If I've learned one thing from this past year, it's that you have to push back. I'm not going to be intimidated out of standing up for the rule of law and the country that has given me everything.

"If AOC is trying to memory hole past wokeness like it’s an ill-advised Mumford & Sons phase, she’s doing it in a weird way. Since her remark, she has repeated virtually every trope that most people now agree was, indeed, crazy with four 'y's." (link in next tweet)

Putin didn't free a prisoner; he freed a hostage. "Great humanitarians" don't take hostages.
