So Vivek Ramaswamy and his campaign found a homeless woman in desperate need of help, cleaned her up just long enough to exploit her for a political attack ad against her own daughter, and then sent her right back onto the streets? These people aren’t just cruel. They’re fucking monsters.
Thanks to reporting we now have a fuller picture of Amy Acton's mother -- homeless, not getting the care she needs, unstable -- and that means someone from the Ramaswamy team scooped her up, got her TV-ready, shot the ad, and then sent her back to destitution without helping her.

Patrick Stewart, who will be remembered most for his roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and as Professor Charles Xavier in the “X-Men” films, has died at 86. variety.com/2026/tv/news/pat…

Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.
NEW: I obtained the full Trumbull County file for Amy Acton's stepfather's 1974 charge which shows that he was indicted for incest involving his 16-year-old biological daughter in 1973. The sheriff was then unable to locate him to serve him a summons in the county and nothing further happened in the case. Donna Arthur, featured in Vivek Ramaswamy's still-running campaign ad, married Cledith the next year in a neighboring county.

Back in 2012, I wrote a creepy thriller called The Man from Primrose Lane. It’s about a reporter tracking down a serial killer. But there’s also bits of sci-fi and horror. Occasionally it gets rediscovered. Check out this horror critics new review: youtu.be/1SQ5yABIXlw

Amy Mihaljevic was abducted and murdered 37 years ago, today. If I could pick one case to suddenly be solved this is it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killin…

NEW on @zeteo_news— Venues are *pulling out* of hosting Vivek Ramaswamy for his final bus tour across Ohio. “We’re getting calls that people don’t want him there,” a top Ohio Republican says. “It’s that damn ad.” From @andrewperezdc & Swin Suebsaeng:zeteo.com/p/venues-start-can…

It’s really peak @VivekGRamaswamy. Not only does he become a cheerleader for child rape to save his dying campaign. He tracked down an 82 yr old homeless woman living in a car in a church parking lot with a bunch of cats to star in his child rape ad.

UPDATE—The father that ICE is brutally beating up is a confirmed U.S. citizen.
ICE violently drag U.S. citizen out of car—in front of his pregnant wife & daughter. Nearly break backseat glass window all over 1 year old girl. "He’s from here," wife tells them. "Our little girl is here—and I'm pregnant." All while wife is trying to show agents their IDs. Agents open the door and yank the husband and father out of drivers seat. Then 3 agents pin him to the ground and jump on his back. Agents blame the family they just victimized for being "difficult." Incident occurred in Donna, Texas. Elzorroysupandilla doesn't have an account on this platform—so posting first full length, English translated, and credited video here to help raise awareness.
