Leaving aside the obvious Civil War response, this tweet is bizarrely obtuse on about 47 different levels.

In the grand sweep of American history, it’s not normal or natural for someone from New York to care who the Senator from Kansas is

And that's why workplace diversity is important. Without a non-sociopath on the team, nobody was there to understand the horrific nature of what they were doing.

JD Vance reacts to Vivek Ramaswamy's ad using Amy Acton's abusive and estranged mother: 'Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not my concern... I have to admit that I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining about that advertisement'

Witkoff to Putin: "You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you, and I thank you again." HE MURDERS BABIES! BABIES!!! In their strollers. He murders adults too, entire families. Every day. I can't believe I'm fucking watching this!

This isn't complicated: Mike Davis is a vile troll, who is threatening violence against @ElissaSlotkin, who is a principled, patriotic public servant.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin: "I think there's been plenty of people, Democrat and Republican, Independents, who would say, like, 'Can we just not threaten violence against each other for our words?'"

If I had a nickel for every time Vivek put someone married to a pedophile in his campaign ad, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Amazingly, @VivekGRamaswamy has used paid media to make himself even MORE unlikable. Just a remarkable achievement.

It’s worth noting that Acton is estranged from her mother because she married a pedophile that molested her and then sided with that pedophile in court. Calling Ramaswamy a scumbag doesn’t go far enough.
Ohio Politics News@OhioCrawlerOct 20
Last week, I wrote about how the notorious conman Vivek Ramaswamy had co-opted Dr. Amy Acton's estranged mother for his "October surprise." Here's the ad in full. Nasty stuff from Ms. Arthur.

We strongly disagree with the Beacon Coalition’s endorsement of Rogers. We had no knowledge of these plans and are not funding this work. We have been clear since the end of the Democratic primary and said it repeatedly: we believe El-Sayed must win this race because Donald Trump cannot have another rubber stamp in the Senate. Third Way stands united behind our Senate Democratic nominees. A Democratic Senate majority is an essential check on Trump, and we are counting on El-Sayed to hand Mike Rogers his second defeat.

Matt Yglesias wants you to die in a plane crash, apparently. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/opini…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Yglesias argues US 1500-hr pilot rule (vs Europe ~200) is job protection raising fares, not safety. Europe has comparable safety per IATA. He says he wants no crashes, just to end a pretextual rule. Colgan pilots exceeded 1500 hrs. iata.org/en/pressroom/2… x.com/mattyglesias/s…

Between the US now siding openly with Russia and the horrible riots in France, this is one of the saddest days for Europe - and America - in modern memory.

What happened is that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said that she was going to argue that El-Sayed winning in Michigan would prove there is no leftist electability penalty. That prompted a lot of arguments about how she is wrong because she is wrong. Complain to her.

@admcrlsnOct 16
The people trying to cast El-Sayed as an electoral underperformer **2.5 weeks before we have any results** are really telling on themselves. They care more about getting a head start on litigating the 2028 intra-party factional battle than they do about defeating Republicans. And what’s more, pushing this now doesn’t even match reality — nothing in the race has meaningfully changed apart from AOC transferring $1 million to his campaign today. Fundraising — He raised $33M in Q3, more than any other Senate candidate apart from Talarico (and just a few thousand shy of Ossoff). Polling — He’s improved upon his polling lead over Rogers by 1.4 points since one month ago, per VoteHub polling average. Prediction Markets — These are fucking dumb, but even these don’t show more of these gamblers thinking Rogers will win. His odds were at 64-36 a month ago, and they are 68-32 today. Nothing has changed — if anything, things have gotten slightly better for El-Sayed recently. These people just want to hear themselves talk.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to loathe Trump more than I did yesterday, but these moves to destroy Ukraine somehow managed it. He is one of the worst people in the world.

Ukraine's Starlink is still restricted and Russia sanctions lifted by Trump and there's nothing Republicans will say because the guys chiefly responsible for holding their majority want it this way xitter.cf/christopherjm/status/2…

Sorry. All the top Dems are pouring money into AES's race, as they absolutely should. $51M from Schumer. He wasn't their candidate. They're still doing it.Anyone with their eyes can see this. You need a new story when the visible facts are so different from what you're saying.

@hasanthehunOct 16
centrist dems are more comfortable sharing power w former & current republicans than their left flank who'll pull the party further left. we don't oppose talarico & cynically lean into rw attacks in the way that liberal consultant do w/ AES. we don't make a big fuss abt pappas low performance in NH. neera tanden is here to undermine the left and doesn't care if left flank dems lose their races in the process. her output and focus on the left proves this.
