My belief is that this sudden change has nothing to do with maximizing trump’s time. The multiple protestors at his hate rallies have really bothered trump because he can’t handle the truth. He now wants to be coddled in his safe space. Weak.
NEWS: Trump's in-person Iowa rally this weekend, scheduled for Dubuque on Sunday, has been canceled and replaced with a tele-rally, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The idea is to maximize Trump’s time and reach as many voters as possible, one source said, and tele-rallies allow him to cover more ground.

Just the worst case scenario for Vivek. By pulling the ad he is admitting it was a huge mistake, but it was done too late to save him. When the initial backlash hit the day it came out he called Trump to ask him if he should pull the ad. Trump told him hell no and he should double down. He listened to Trump. ETTD.
BREAKING: Vivek Ramaswamy’s attack ad featuring his Democratic opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother has been PULLED from Ohio airwaves following widespread backlash, including from Republican Gov. Mike DeWine.
Ramaswamy claims the ad simply “ran to completion.” His campaign spent $4 MILLION airing it, and Trump defended it as recently as yesterday.

This religious test for holding public office would disqualify every religious minority from elected office. This is straight-up Islamophobic and antisemitic, and everyone needs to call it out.
Moreno said the quiet part out loud: There's no place for Jewish or Muslim Americans in the GOP's vision for America.
NO……the FTC and DOJ should stop this from happening!
DoorDash is offering $17 billion to buy Instacart in a deal that could consolidate the grocery delivery business in the U.S. and abroad. to.pbs.org/4f0REEu

Q: How does the right and yourself expect us to start families young when the average price of a home in America costs more than $415,000 which feels out of reach for us.
Vance: The reason why housing exploded is in part because we allowed 20 million illegal aliens into our country to buy homes that ought by right go to American citizens.

A grocery company that experiments on shoppers to see how much it can overcharge them is merging with a delivery company that tracks their every click and scroll to do the same.
Two of America's biggest ripoff machines should not become one.
The FTC must block this merger.

Just last month, DoorDash couldn’t seem to find the money to pay their deliveristas — until our administration forced them to give back $131M+ in stolen wages and penalties.
This week, they’ve managed to find $17 billion to acquire one of their main competitors.
Corporate consolidation means higher prices, harsher exploitation, and greater economic inequality for New Yorkers.
We’ve stood up to these giants before. That doesn’t stop now.

I saw Flavio Bolsonaro had the audacity to thank the American people for “taking him in.” I don’t know why he said this? The American people didn’t do anything; his puppeteer, TRUMP did. We don’t want him here. Common-sense Americans want our tax dollars spent on OUR healthcare, OUR roads, OUR schools, but instead, the Republicans are using them to let this guy live the movie star life with our money. The Republicans have lost their minds. I don’t want to pay for this guy! Who the hell does he think he is? Not only is he stealing from the American taxpayer, he is further calling himself the “leader of Brazil,” after he just got smacked in an election. This is blatant election denialism, and it represents the dangerous, anti-democracy ideology that must not be allowed in our country. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MUST NOT BE THIS GROWN MAN’S SUGAR DADDY! When Democrats win this election, unlike Flavio, every dollar going towards this sham must be investigated and DEFUNDED. That security detail? DEFUNDED. When Trump is gone, the Bolsonaros must be deported. They are not “asylum seekers”; they are authoritarians leeching off the hard-working American taxpayer. We work too hard for this. Enough.

Obama tonight on his Cheesecake Factory line: "They mobilized a whole of government response to that joke. Not to inflation, but to that joke. The White House even called the Secretary of the Treasury. This is the man who is in charge of the economy. The person who's supposed to be figuring out how to make your life more affordable. The guy who's supposed to be figuring out how to lower inflation. And reduce interest rates. They told him he should hold a press conference in front of the Cheesecake Factory."

Flávio Bolsonaro is a foreign national under criminal investigation. Rubio is colluding with him to evade justice. Cowardly fascists and authoritarian thugs used to flee to Russia or Saudi Arabia to escape accountability. This administration welcomes them to America. Disgusting.
Hey coach….you look like shit with that “beard” you’re trying to grow.

Thank you my friend, Rep. @CarlosGimenezFL!
Socialist Angie Nixon wants to turn Florida and the rest of this nation into Communist Cuba. Together, we will never let that happen!

Some ask why I’m posting so much about Flavio Bolsonaro, but the answer is simple: Trump says we have no money for *our* health care, but can pay for this THUG to jet-set around our country with *our* money. You see that private jet? It’s a middle finger to every American that’s feeling these high prices right now because REPUBLICANS raised them. The government always tells you they have no money for your life, but can roll out the red carpet for a criminal illegal alien who is being investigated for money laundering in his own country. His family gets to live the movie star life, while the Republicans protecting him raise your prices to benefit the elites funding their campaigns. It’s disgraceful. Flavio needs to become a national American symbol for the right’s contempt for us, the American taxpayer. Deport Flavio! Have the last laugh and give them all the finger on Election Day!
