Schumer has to go.
NEW: Chuck Schumer is preparing to lead the Senate with a network of former aides lobbying for private equity—including two former policy chiefs and his top health adviser. Their clients include Blackstone, Apollo, and the industry’s top trade group. readsludge.com/2026/11/06/th…

DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER
Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses.
- Medicare for All
- A $20-an-hour minimum wage
- The PRO Act
- A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program
- An AI data center moratorium
- Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform
- REAL campaign finance reform
Who needs morals? Let’s just race to the bottom!
President Trump strongly defends Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mom. Trump: “That took a lot of courage to do but, essentially, what she was really doing was saving Ohio from making a truly horrible choice! The Press is trying to convince everyone that this Ad is bad, because it’s so good! Who wouldn’t use such an Ad? I would, it’s called, ‘hitting pay dirt.’”
So this is the most despicable ad I’ve seen this campaign cycle and that says a lot.
I don’t think you put out a video like this if you believe you are ahead in a race internally.
BOMBSHELL:
Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton’s own mother urges voters not to vote for her daughter.
“My name is Donna Arthur and I’m Amy Acton’s mother. I worked at Children and Family Service Association, building one of the first two sexual abuse programs in America.
I love my daughter, but when I saw her lying about her opponent—and it’s not easy for a mother to say this—but Amy has a serious problem.
She is a liar. She lies about her past. She says she grew up living in a tent. None of that is true. She’s lied her entire life.
My daughter needs help, and she can’t help you if she needs help herself. People can change, but first they have to tell the truth, and my daughter still isn’t doing that.
Don’t vote for people who lie. Don’t let her become your governor. If you think she’ll make your life better, you’re fooling yourself. It will only get worse.”
That’s one hell of an October surprise.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Donna Arthur lost custody of her children 48 years ago due to poor living conditions and charges against Donna’s husband of child molestation. Dr. Acton has not seen her estranged mother since then suggesting that Donna is unlikely to have reliable insights about Dr. Acton.

To the Ohio Supreme court we go. School vouchers hurt the average Ohioan. They take money away from rural districts and funnels them to private schools that most have no access to.
#BREAKING: An Ohio appeals court unanimously ruled Thursday that the state’s EdChoice private-school voucher program violates the Ohio Constitution, affirming a lower court decision in a lawsuit backed by hundreds of public school districts. nbc4i.co/4zABVUI

.@JamesTalarico: I want to get back to the kind of capitalism we had in the middle of the 20th century in this country.
I want competition, but it’s got to be fair competition.
We’ve got to take on these monopolies, this consolidation, because again it’s fundamentally anti-capitalist.
Right now, our tax system literally taxes work more than it taxes wealth.
I’m advocating for a return to original capitalist principles where we actually reward work instead of wealth—an economy that creates fewer trillionaires and more millionaires.
And now today Trumps speak is the norm.
It’s easy to forget how quickly culture changes.
I fear for the country my future daughter will inherit.
10 years ago today
GOP Sen. Mike Lee: “If anyone spoke to my wife, or my daughter, or my mother, or any of my five sisters, the way Mr. Trump has spoken to women, I wouldn’t hire that person, wouldn’t want to be associated with that person, and I certainly don’t think I’d be comfortable hiring that person to be the leader of the free world.”
Who cares about basic facts?
Right @Eric_Schmitt ?
The way the Amy Klobuchar and Jack Smith just clowned the F out of @Eric_Schmitt right now is EPIC!
He accused Smith of being in Atlanta for a Hawks game and warned him not to perjure himself.
Smith was at an Iowa Hawkeyes game to watch Caitlin Clark.
As would be 90% of the public
I'm on board with this rule. foxnews.com/politics/sen-ken…

No noted dissents.
So maybe we should take this pretty seriously.
Replying to @hilbertspaess
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
Stealing Valor to make one of the most tragic days in American history about himself is very on brand for Trump.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."

Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…
