Ohio's early in-person voting has drawn nearly four times as many voters as it did at the same point in the 2022 midterms, according to data from the Ohio secretary of state's office.

Trump has backed out of a scheduled deposition for his defamation case against the BBC, which is trying to compel Trump to sit for a court-ordered interview.

Im idly watching clips of the Trump rally in Arizona right now and something becomes apparent...
The stands behind Trump are noticeably emptier now. And if you look along the top of this photo, those people are in the exit row behind the bleachers and you can literally see there is a long line just waiting to leave.

Trump: "I made $72 billion on TikTok! You know who number one on TikTok is? Trump. Remember? Trump. I'm number one. Can you believe it? Taylor Swift is 19. They just sent out the ratings."

The thought bubble above every single persons head right now. Welp, at least I got to wear this shirt one more time.....

Trump: "I'm the only one that took the test -- the aptitude test or whatever they call it. Every time I do a physical, I do a mental test. And I aced it. Where's my doctor? I travel with more doctors than any human being."

Trump points to someone in the audience and actually says as he is directly pointing at him. See that person over there, hes a friend of mine and he looks like shit. Actually, he looks like he is ready to have a heart attack. If he actually had a heart attack you know what my doctors would do. Theyd say No Sir we cant leave your side. If people get sick in the audience, they leave them alone. They call them collateral damage."

Trump keeps trying to find his Doctor in the audience, saying hes here somewhere. Im fairly certain they are hiding to keep from being brought on stage to discuss Trumps genius.

The Cognitive Exam now includes this math problem.

Trump: "It's called a coganative [sic] test. It's a very standard test, but very tough. There are few people in this audience that can -- once you get past the first question. They show you a lion, a bear, a giraffe, and a snake and they say, 'Which one is the lion?' Biden was unable to answer that."

"By the time you get to the end you gotta be very smart. Well then pick a number. Ok 15 then triple it divide by 4 add 37 add another 293 subtract 12 multiply by two divide by 3, what is your number Sir? I got it right. Nobody can do what I do.

His five words this time.
Hat hair logo wife black
repeat it please....Oh you got it right.

And they go HOLY SHIT, NOBODY CAN DO THIS!!!

You want to know how I do it. Because Im a fricken genius. Thats why!"

He had been in a momentary funk. Nothing seemed right. He couldn't remember what he was doing or why he was here. Dazed and confused but attempting to take cues from the room that would help him remember where he was, what he was doing. When someone taped him on the shoulder.

Another showing of Trump's advancing FTD-

Trump on Tuesday shared footage of part of the tiger attack that left one man dead, with his millions of followers on Truth Social, captioning the clip: “Don’t ever mess with nature!”

He signed the post with his own name.

The White House also shared the clip on X.

The president followed up shortly afterward with another video featuring a montage that appeared to show people being attacked by lions, accompanied by upbeat music. At least some of the clips appeared to be AI-generated.

Trump later shared an AI-generated video depicting himself tackling what appeared to be the same big cat that killed Chapman as it attempted to attack him, before playfighting with the animal, set to the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

Donald Trump told a man at a rally in Wasilla, Alaska, to stay with his wife, stating, "Stay with your wife. It's much less expensive."

Retiring Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) posted this criticism.

Do other republicans in office have the spine? Or a conscience?

$75 extra per month

WASHINGTON (AP) - The Social Security Administration projected Wednesday that the annual cost-of-living adjustment for older adults and people with disabilities will go up by 3.6% beginning in 2027, with some recipients complaining that is not enough to offset soaring prices.

The adjustment translates to $75 extra per month for the 73 million people who receive monthly Social Security benefits and nearly 7.5 million beneficiaries who get Supplemental Security Income.

"Mildon and Habba, the sources said, discovered the issue after their business relationship frayed with Grenell," writes Caputo. "Habba then headed to the White House last Friday to tell the president about the situation. 'Alina hit the roof' when her husband told her that he hadn't donated the money directly to the Kennedy Center, whose records indicate that Mildon actually owed a $270,000 pledged donation. There was no record of Mildon giving anything close to $5.6 million, officials said." According to Lisa Dale, who handled finances for the Kennedy Center at the time, the only record in her books connected to Mildon showed he owed $270,000. "There was nothing about $6 million," she told Axios. "I would have heard about that." If Habba's allegations of missing money are true, says Caputo, it could prove particularly galling to Trump, who views the center and its fundraising personally.

Trouble in Trumplandia

On Wednesday, new reporting revealed that President Donald Trump has directed White House lawyers to look into allegations that his former advisor stole funds intended for the Kennedy Center. According to one senior official who spoke with Axios Senior Political Reporter Marc Caputo, the situation has resulted in a full-blown "MAGA blood feud."

"Former Trump attorney Alina Habba told the president that another one of his top advisers — former Kennedy Center leader Ric Grenell — failed to deposit a multimillion-dollar donation that her billionaire husband made to the center a year ago, according to four senior administration officials and three insiders briefed on the controversy," writes Caputo. "In the spring of 2025, Grenell persuaded [Habba's husband Turhan] Mildon to include a multimillion-dollar Kennedy Center donation in a lump-sum $17.6 million payment for a business deal." According to sources, the donation itself was nearly $6 million, but Habba says it was never deposited with the Center. While a senior administration official cautions that so far "these are only allegations," Habba's attorneys plan to give the White House documentation — reviewed by Axios — to support her claims.

What even is GOP’s sales pitch for the midterms?

Inflation - up
Gas prices - way up
War in Ukraine - still going
War in Iran - still going
Houthis - out of control
Beef prices - record highs
Public health - people are dying from the fucking measles

No wins to speak of.

Trump as Oprah Winfrey --You get a pardon! And YOU get a pardon!!

20 days VOTE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS N IT.
