The Columbus Dispatch Editorial Board just endorsed Democratic candidate Dr. Amy Acton for Ohio governor. The board sharply criticized GOP nominee Vivek Ramaswamy, calling his aggressive campaign tactics—specifically an attack ad involving Acton's estranged mother—disqualifying.

JD Vance just held an outrageous news conference in which he defended Ramaswamy's vile attacks on Amy Acton, agreed with Steve Witkoff's assessment of Putin as a "humanitarian," and had the gall to claim "there is no person who hates the idea of people enriching themselves fraudulently over access to the government than Donald J Trump" Here's a supercut:

Bad men gain power when we don't fight back. Vivek Ramaswamy is everything wrong with politics: arrogance, cruelty, dishonesty, and a willingness to do ANYTHING for power. Ohio deserves better. I'm proud that my wife, MK, is supporting Dr. Amy Acton today.

Due to the recent attack ads in Ohio by the Ramaswamy campaign I am donating the maximum allowable by law to Amy Acton. I’m a life long Republican I don’t know @amyactonoh or her policies and frankly I don’t care. Some things are bigger than party.

Russia, sensing victory, cheers Trump’s latest shift against Ukraine

Kremlin officials are crowing that Western support of Ukraine is about to collapse, and Trump’s recent moves are steps to closer alignment between Russia and the United States.

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

People who have been around politics a long time may be struck as I was by the sheriff's signature on this arrest warrant for Amy Acton's stepfather, who at the time was a fugitive. Does the name James Traficant ring a bell?

WOW -- Vance *defends* Ramaswamy's reprehensible ad 👇 Q: Ramaswamy's campaign put out a controversial ad featuring his opponent's mother. Some Republicans are backing away from that. Do you think that ad was appropriate? JD VANCE: Well, I'll be honest with you. Whether the ad was appropriate or not is not really my concern. My concern is who is gonna govern. I have to admit I'm a little bit disgusted when I see Republicans who are whining more about that ad than they are about what the Democrats want to do.
