It seems like no one can resist spilling the beans to them — not even a campaign staffer whom they had previously caught on tape working for another candidate.&nbsp;]]>Tue, 20 Oct 2026 07:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Grateful Calvin]]>https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2026/10/20/panic-in-munchkinland-el-sayed-reportedly-fires-staffer-who-dropped-a-huge-funding-bombshell-n2433498<![CDATA[Amy Acton is running for Governor of Ohio as a Democrat. Her competition is Vivek and honestly, she looks really good in the latest polls.

It will be the first time that the City of Light has hosted an NFL game. The problem for many in Pittsburgh is that the illumination in the city is from buildings being burned by thousands of rioters terrorizing the French capital.]]>Tue, 20 Oct 2026 07:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Eric V.]]>https://twitchy.com/eric-v/2026/10/20/steelers-in-paris-local-concern-grows-as-the-city-of-lights-continues-to-burn-n2433497<![CDATA[Democrats are already letting their imaginations soar over what they plan to do to President Donald Trump and those around him if they get voted back into power in November. Democrat Robert Garcia of California recently shared his exhausting wishlist with leftist podcaster Jennifer Welch.]]>Tue, 20 Oct 2026 03:40:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/10/20/dem-robert-garcia-pledges-retribution-if-party-regains-control-jennifer-welch-podcast-n2433492<![CDATA[Last year, there was a small blip in the media when three distinguished Yale professors — a philosophy professor and a "power couple" of history professors — left the country to take teaching jobs in Canada. We can't really say we've felt the loss of an Ivy League philosophy professor to the University of Toronto. Jason Stanley told The Nation last year that "a coup is happening in the United States," President Donald Trump is a fascist, and "America is living in an authoritarian state."]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 22:00:59 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/19/get-a-look-at-the-researchers-leaving-the-us-because-of-trumps-politicization-of-science-n2433477<![CDATA[We're assuming that when Rep. Mark Pocan (He/Him/His) claims that "we" banned overdraft fees, he's talking about Congressional Democrats. He's also claiming that President Donald Trump somehow brought them back. That would be a pretty good trick by Trump if legislation actually banning overdraft fees had ever passed. According to Grok and a proposed Community Note, overdraft fees were never "banned" under the Biden administration. It was a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule capping fees that never went into effect.]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 21:00:38 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/19/rep-mark-pocan-says-we-banned-overdraft-fees-but-trump-brought-them-back-n2433481<![CDATA[James Comer has a little factoid to share about Ilhan Omar and her man's winery.]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 20:40:41 -0400<![CDATA[Just Mindy]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/10/19/ilhan-omar-winery-sold-empty-barrels-comer-n2433490<![CDATA[This editor has published a few posts on Golf Course Derangement Syndrome stemming from the removal of hundreds of dead and diseased trees from a municipal golf course in Washington, D.C. FactPost, an official DNC rapid response account run by the folks who used to run KamalaHQ, informed us this summer that the administration was "planning to cut down DC's oldest cherry tree to make way for a new Trump golf course." It's not a new golf course — it's a municipal golf course that's been there for over 100 years.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 20:30:14 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/19/perpetually-furious-judge-ana-reyes-triggered-by-truth-social-post-n2433483<![CDATA[Maybe it's because you're a woman or MAYBE it's because you are threatening to use the full weight of the government specifically against young conservatives just getting started in their careers who might want to work for the Trump Administration for future opportunities.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 20:00:42 -0400<![CDATA[Just Mindy]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/10/19/elissa-slotkin-im-being-attacked-because-im-a-woman-n2433496<![CDATA[CNN 'legend' and DNC Mouthpiece Christiane Amanpour is leaving after decades.&nbsp;]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 19:30:33 -0400<![CDATA[Just Mindy]]>https://twitchy.com/justmindy/2026/10/19/cnn-amanpour-leaving-cnn-n2433479<![CDATA[Back in March, a 2022 video went viral showing Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (still wearing a COVID mask) telling an audience it was “existential” to reduce meat consumption to fight climate change, and pledging that his campaign was buying only vegan products from local vegan businesses. That's not something you say when you're trying to be elected to represent the state that produces the most beef in the nation. A day later, a spokesperson for the Talarico campaign posted the campaign's official response to the "vegan accusations" — a photo of Talarico tearing into some barbecue.]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:30:24 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/19/meat-loving-james-talarico-stops-by-halal-barbecue-restaurant-n2433495<![CDATA[We can't believe we're saying this, but we agree with Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan when she tells MS NOW that "the grift absolutely has to stop." What? She wasn't talking about the estimated $9 billion of fraud that took place under her and Gov. Tim Walz's administration? Feeding Our Future? The Quality Learing Center? The grift in Minnesota absolutely does have to stop, but as lieutenant governor, she did nothing to stop it, and her boss even dropped his bid for reelection over the scandals. Now, she's running for the U.S. Senate and calling the Trump administration the most corrupt we've ever seen.]]>Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:00:38 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/10/19/peggy-flanagan-tells-ms-now-that-the-trump-administration-is-the-most-corrupt-weve-ever-seen-n2433491<![CDATA[In a battle of wacky women desperate for attention on X, Angela Belacamino and Ashley St. Clair are in a tight race.
