As a lifelong Browns fan, I simply note that former Browns’ quarterbacks Johnny Manziel and Colt McCoy were failures.
News: Trump is bringing three football stars — Johnny Manziel, Colt McCoy and Danny Amendola — onto the campaign trail in Texas tomorrow
The play: Turn football fans into midterm voters — especially the young men who helped Trump win in '24

Dear @AGToddBlanche: A federal judge called the trump DOJ’s argument “frivolous” and ordered the reinstatement of prosecutor Maurene Comey.
This is what happens when you try to enforce the rule of trump instead of the rule of law. You get smacked down.
November is coming.
🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay.
The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power. meidasnews.com/news/trump-do…
A blanket presidential pardon for crimes that have never been charged has never been fully litigated.
People committing crimes for trump, or in connection with trump, take the risk that they will be successfully prosecuted by a future DOJ.
The president is considering mass pardons for his enablers. But they’d be foolish to assume the next administration will honor them. lawyeroyer.com/p/buyer-bewar…
HEADLINE: trump is bragging about making money while people are suffering at the pump.
November is coming.

A new personalized mRNA vaccine for melanoma is being hailed by some oncologists as a breakthrough after reducing the risk of cancer recurrence and death by 42% compared with standard treatment in a late-stage clinical trial. nbcnews.com/health/cancer/pe…
Brent crude oil at over $117 per barrel is very high.
Gas and diesel prices will continue to skyrocket based on the failed policies of trump and his Republican enablers.
November is coming.
Democrats will reverse Republican cuts to healthcare and increase funding to NIH. Americans deserve to get life saving treatments and the benefits of medical breakthroughs.
November is coming.
Moderna and Merck’s personalized mRNA cancer vaccine reduced melanoma recurrence by 42%. We already have a vaccine that prevents cancer (HPV). Now we’re going to have vaccines individually targeted to treat your cancer. This is the same technology that our government cut NIH support by $500 million. statnews.com/2026/10/22/esmo… via @statnews

Dear @AGToddBlanche: When you pull your head out of trump’s ass, you may want to read the United States Constitution. You did not take an oath to trump. You took an oath to the Constitution.

What are trump and his Republican enablers focused on? Renaming bodies of water.

Brent crude oil exceeded $113 per barrel and West Texas Intermediate went over $100 per barrel, again.
The disastrous policies of trump and his Republican enablers have skyrocketed oil and diesel prices.

The trump Administration and GOP Leadership made the deliberate decision to let the AI industry run wild.
That was a bad political decision. And now it’s become a potentially catastrophic policy decision.
Banks are now detecting unauthorized AI agents in customer accounts.
SCOOP: Major U.S. banks are detecting unauthorized third-party AI agents inside customer accounts, including some attempting to take actions that appear to be independent of user instructions, sources told Axios.
The findings have alarmed banking executives, who are racing to restrict access to their systems as AI moves at a velocity faster than financial institutions can respond, multiple industry and bank executives told Axios.
Several banks are now preparing for worst-case and even “day after” scenarios, including how to rapidly secure or restore customer accounts if things go wrong, the people said.
Several bank executives told Axios they're struggling to distinguish between human users and AI agents. One executive said banks also struggle to determine whether agents are authorized by customers or potentially operating without their permission, more akin to rogue agent behavior.

AI is super charging cyber security vulnerabilities. We need more cyber security personnel.
Last year I introduced the New Collar Jobs Act with Reps Norma Torres and Jill Tokuda. The bill incentivizes cyber security education. Congress should pass it.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.
We are in an era of increasing and potentially devastating cyber threats. And what did the trump Administration and DOGE do? Make massive cuts to cyber security personnel. Just really phenomenally stupid.

Did you know dummymander is not spelled with a “b”?
Redistricting in Texas based off of Trump and the GOP's vote gains in 2024 with Latino voters is going to bite them in the ass in the 2026 midterms.
They forgot that Latino voters are "swing" voters and not beholden to either party. And Latino voters are going to punish the Republican party in November. And they may punish Democrats in the future if we don't get our shit together.
