Sources told us that Donna Arthur was visibly mentally unwell and "far gone" and "in bad shape" while she was filming the Vivek Ramaswamy ad. NBC pulled the court filings from Donna Arthur's animal neglect charges which show one defense attorney suggested she needed a competency evaluation. "Arthur, 82, exhibited a belief that animal rescue workers had conspired to take away her pets, and she accused a humane society officer and an animal rescue worker of 'stalking' her so they could steal her cats and sell them, the transcripts show."
Amy Acton’s mom, who called her a ‘liar’ in Ramaswamy ad, faced years of turmoil, records show The trial transcripts and other documents reviewed by NBC News suggest that Amy Acton’s mother, Donna Arthur, showed signs of instability in recent years. via @nbcnews nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ad-…

Here’s another clip of a woman reading Trump’s words verbatim from a recent rally in Mississippi that puts a giant magnifying glass over how gone he is cognitively and unfit he is for office.

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.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV is set to become the first sitting pontiff in the Catholic Church’s two-thousand-year history to vote in a secular election. Leo requested an Illinois mail ballot on Oct. 3, and it was sent to his brother John’s home in New Lenox, Ill. John Prevost visited the pope at the Vatican on Wednesday and may now be carrying the ballot back to the Will County clerk by hand. thelettersfromleo.com/p/pope…

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.

F*cking crazy that everybody watched federal agents execute Alex Pretti 9 months ago and his family is still out here demanding justice and no one from the government has contacted them.

Another devastating supercut showing Obama vs. Trump tonight. This is really brutal for Trump. He is not even in the same league as Obama. Expect another Truth Social crash out in 3…2…

Two weeks after Ford’s government gave a lobbyist’s client a zoning order, MPP Laurie Scott asked him to get “the ones we just helped” to buy fundraiser tickets through her portal “so I get credit.” No matter how you slice it, this looks like bribery, and the rot starts at the top.

Neil Young is suing Donald Trump for $10M after he played Young's ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’ as his walk-up music at a midterm rally in Ohio for the second time. Young sued Trump’s campaign over the same song in 2020, and according to the new complaint, it settled right away and promised never to use the track without a license. And yet, the campaign did it again recently.
