I think this election will be a once in a lifetime event for most of us as the ground shifts in our direction.

Really striking stuff from new NYT poll: Dems lead GOP on every major issue, including immigration, and are seen as the party of the working class by a 13-point margin:

I hope for his sake Patrick is deliberately baiting everyone with this, and not this dumb. All U.S. Senators share equal power over the entire country.

The play is that the negative hit will get more coverage than the response but the response is so much more devastating

Details are out on Vivek Ramaswamy’s statewide TV buy for his attack spot featuring Amy Acton’s estranged mother: $4,518,306 total for ads in every Ohio media market, starting Thursday and running through Election Day, per @MediumBuying.

Hard to believe a Yale guy is this dumb. Cruel? No doubt. But dumb enough to double down on attacking a 12 year old rape victim? How crazy that Republicans are ending their party’s collapse before the election by reminding voters of where it began—with the Epstein files.

Vance: "And now the media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because, guess what? Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar."

Amy Acton's mother pled guilty to a felony charge of theft by deception in the 1990s. She's literally a convicted liar. And this is the person Vance is saying can be trusted to "call it like it is."

Bloomberg: Italian officials are looking into whether outside actors such as Russia had a hand in violent protests that swept Milan and other European cities over the weekend, according to people familiar with the matter.

Kinda thinking he's not gonna get away w this one..Seems to be broadly backfiring here in OH. But he never should've gotten away w his Alzheimer's drug scam, based on "my mommy the doc says it works" before it bankrupted everyone & made him super-rich

Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is apparently unprecedented. It would be just awful to activate all the members of a politician’s family to attack them…as the Democrats did with every member of RFK’s family. youtube.com/watch?v=ww9fTNrW…

Did Vivek Ramaswamy Really Cross a Line?

I appreciate that @KaivanShroff has said that El-Sayed wasn't his preferred candidate while acknowledging that Rogers is running an overtly bigoted campaign. When stating that Stevens/McMorrow could've done better in the general, it's important to not enable the bigoted campaign
Stephen Robinson@SER189713h
This simply isn't a rational argument. Despite a contentious primary, El-Sayed has consistently led Rogers in *real* polls. He's underperformed Benson, but it's likely that any Dem would have (it's a Senate seat). Peter himself narrowly won in 2020!

GOP orgs are not pouring $ into it, nor are Dem orgs. I think the parties privately know Flanagan has it.

Sincerely hope that this is a joke, but this race should not be competitive in a national environment favorable to the Democrats.

I generally agree with the "don't read into early voting" folks, bc there are too many variables in most places (Nevada, where >2/3 of the vote is early, is an exception. BTW: follow @RalstonReports). But the consistency of this pattern, in state after state, can't be ignored.

JD Vance really stood there and said he is not concerned about whether using a Democratic opponent's childhood sexual abuse for political gain is appropriate. He is more concerned about winning
