We didn't get into it in this episode, but I'm sure you can guess what else Trump thinks about Putin’s ass.

.@TheRickWilson tells @gtconway3d that Trump is becoming his own party's biggest liability: "He's there telling people that the economy is great and everything's sunshine and roses and that Vladimir Putin's ass smells like rainbows, and nobody believes any of it."

The only thing better than making the @outmagazine 100 list is finally getting to pitch my West Wing/L Word crossover. Your move, @ilenechaiken! out.com/out100/2026/storytel…

"Midterms can signal the waning of an old era. And they can be a preamble, a prelude, to a new one. So if future historians write of a No Kings era beginning in 2028, those of us who are still around can quietly interject to say: Don’t forget 2026." thebulwark.com/p/fasten-your…

Had a fun chat with @DanaBashCNN about her new book, The Elections That Changed the World. If you want to nerd-out about the most consequential elections in history, then this book is for you.

ok. this is an actual endorsement of the Vivek ad, unlike his earlier line that he was upset that republicans were upset with the ad. Can't really believe that they're attaching themselves to this thing.
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."

.@AbdulElSayed explains the political current that is trying to divide Americans and the president’s part in it: “Donald Trump's a bully…More often than not, bullies don't operate because they're truly strong; they operate because they are fragile and weak.”

.@DanaBashCNN on the ripple effects of an election: "Without George W. Bush...who knows what would have happened after 9/11...it's hard to imagine [Gore] taking it into Iraq...Without Iraq, hard to imagine we get Barack Obama. Without Barack Obama, hard to imagine we get Donald Trump."

Trump says that Ukraine gives the U.S. nothing in return for our help. @michaeldweiss takes @Mpolymer through the history of how Ukrainian intelligence helped the CIA, and why Trump's claim is nonsense: "He's completely and utterly full of shit.”

Steve Witkoff called Vladimir Putin a humanitarian. @pennbarker can think of a few other words that better describe the Russian president: “This guy's one of the biggest human rights abusers on Earth. He's a despot. He's a terrorist.”

The Trump administration's efforts in California have gone beyond trying to scare people away from going to the polls. The administration is also starting yet another immigration crackdown. @Carrasquillo reports in the latest edition of Huddled Masses: lnk.thebulwark.com/4ek4tJS

Classic. Not endorsing the ad just lamenting the gop internal disgust over it.
Reporter: "Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother…Do you think that ad was appropriate?" Vance: "I have to admit that I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans across the country who are whining more about that advertisement than they are about what…Democrats want to do to the United States of America."

“Ohio isn’t the only red state where Republicans seem to be resorting to desperate tricks to salvage a race. In Texas, Ken Paxton and his supporters are trying to whip up a new, artificial trans panic to make the sale.” thebulwark.com/p/how-low-can…

Trump voters in South Carolina are pretty sour on Darline Graham. And Democrat Annie Andrews is a reasonably strong candidate. But is that enough in a state Trump won by 18 points? thebulwark.com/p/darline-gra…

To translate: he's saying they made Marshall look like a Jew by pointing out he sued his patients for unpaid bills

Zelensky, this morning on Russia's latest attack: "six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old"
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."
