As FL closes the door on its most anti-LGBTQ legislative session in history, a reminder of my message to the US House Oversight Committee in December: Relentless bigotry has consequences. Real people pay the price. – at Orlando, FL

@FloridaGOP went to court to get our Hope Florida ad pulled off the air. A judge said no. So we made another one.

Florida man largely responsible for getting Amendment 3 on the ballot finally studies impact of the bill he supported ... and says it's a bad idea.
Florida Senate President Ben Albritton has consistently demonstrated strong support for law enforcement and the men and women who work every day to keep Florida’s communities safe. A fourth-generation farmer born and raised in Florida’s Heartland, President Albritton brings a firsthand understanding of the needs, challenges, and values of rural Florida and has made supporting those communities a priority. The Florida Sheriff Association is sharing the attached statement from the current President of the Florida Senate Ben Albritton regarding his opinion on Amendment 3. #FlaPol

Here’s the thing: Vivek is not an outlier. He’s not an accident. He’s the embodiment of the right wing agenda, their brand of politics come to life. Of course he’s cruel. Of course he’s craven. Of course he’s an unrepentant asshole. That’s their entire brand.

Donald Trump got elected again promising Day 1 change and delivered nothing but chaos and corruption.
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:

How morally bankrupt do you have to be to double down on ignoring child sexual assault??? Disgusting.
Ramaswamy doubles down. “We don’t know what happened between Amy and her mother, who first spoke out about Amy in 2020, but we know that Amy Acton is a serial fabulist who has some serious problems with the truth,” Connie Luck, his spox, said. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Amy Acton's estranged mother lost custody of her children after her second husband was charged with rape and indicted by a grand jury. In court, Amy's mother stood by her husband instead of her twelve-year-old daughter. They haven't spoken since that day in court, nearly 50 years ago. Politics has become such a disappointing sport of outrage-fueled mud-slinging, personal attacks targeting families, and blatant lies designed to divide. Candidates should debate the issues and focus on convincing voters that their plans and leadership will make life better. That's what politics should be about: bringing people together. Stunts like today's attack ad against Dr. Acton are beneath anyone seeking to lead. nytimes.com/2026/10/20/us/po…

Vivek Ramaswamy is really vile for this.
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

Miami bakeries in a totally unserious spiral because Hakeem Jeffries stopped by for a coffee. What are we even doing here??
These two miami bakeries, which are owned by the same family, are beefing over one’s decision to serve food to renowned socialists Hakeem Jeffries and Elliot Rodriguez

Rare that a sequel is as iconic as the original, but she’s an unstoppable force.

Put him under oath and make him say this again.
DOKOUPIL: A poll found that corruption was the number 1 issue on voters' minds, even more than gas prices. Have you seen anything inside the White House when it comes to corruption that makes you squeamish? JD VANCE: I've never seen anything like that from the president

This is a truly horrific response to a grieving widower, wow. May it haunt Vance for his career.
Vance is confronted by the emotional husband of a soldier killed in Iran War and acts like he had no idea anyone ever died: Q: It's a hard price to pay. There's a failure in the leadership. How will the leadership be held accountable? Vance: If there were failures... This is the first time I've heard of this.
