Obama rebukes Ramaswamy ad using rival’s estranged mother: ‘No line he will not cross’

First in Ohio, Obama took aim at Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, who has doubled down on an advertising campaign featuring the estranged mother of Democratic rival Dr. Amy Acton. Trump and Vice President JD Vance have also defended the ad, even as Republican leaders across Ohio, including Gov. Mike DeWine, have called for its removal. “In recent days, we’ve seen there is no line he will not cross, no low he will not sink to,” Obama said of Ramaswamy, noting that Acton has “spoken movingly about her painful childhood and all she’s experienced: abuse, neglect and homelessness.” Later in Michigan, Obama condemned critics of Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, suggesting that they’re using his name or his faith to tear him down. “We have seen this movie before. I starred in it,” Obama told a packed high school gym in Detroit. “I’ve got a long-form birth certificate to prove…

Democrats May Win Big, But the Real Fight Starts After

Democrats appear headed for a strong midterm showing, but the larger test will come after the votes are counted. The question is not just how far they surge, but what kind of lesson they draw from it. Republicans have spent years presenting themselves as the safer pair of hands on both national security and the economy. That image has long survived contact with reality, and Democrats now have a chance to challenge it in a way that goes well beyond the usual debate over gas prices and household bills. The cost of living has clearly helped Democrats, with rising prices becoming a visible reminder of Republican failures. Some candidates have also managed to tie corruption to daily frustration in a way that feels concrete rather than abstract. But reducing the outcome to so-called kitchen table issues would leave too much on the table. A chance to break two myths The Republican brand still…

MON: Democratic US senators considering presidential runs rally party faithful at New Mexico matanza, + More

Democratic US senators considering presidential runs rally party faithful at New Mexico matanza– Patrick Lohmann, Source New Mexico Hundreds of enthusiastic Democrats gathered at Balloon Fiesta Park in Albuquerque on Saturday to hear from two United States senators who are considering runs for president, marking New Mexico’s first step into the 2028 Democratic presidential primary as a newly crowned early primary state. The Democratic National Committee in August moved New Mexico’s Democratic presidential primary to Feb. 15, 2028, making it the fourth primary to be held in the country. Previous New Mexico primaries took place in June, often well after the party’s nominee had emerged. U.S. Sen.

Thoughts on School-Based Ideology

Taxpayers should not be compelled to fund religious schools or those that espouse a particular political agenda. An ongoing point of contention in education is the values schools instill in their students. A recent example concerns charter schools, which are publicly funded, tuition-free, and open to all students. They operate with greater autonomy and flexibility from district rules in exchange for meeting specific performance goals outlined in their charters. Most recently, a federal court cleared the way for a Jewish charter school in Oklahoma. The order, issued Sept. 24, came in a case filed by the National Ben Gamla Jewish Charter School Foundation, temporarily halting the state’s board from enforcing the provision that disallows religious charters. However, on Oct. 12, Oklahoma officials denied the application. The controversy goes beyond Christian and Jewish schools. In October…
