JD Vance’s presidential run ended tonight.
So is Vivek Ramaswamy disqualified from being Ohio’s Governor?
.@VivekGRamaswamy’s latest ad is gutter politics at its worst—and it could boomerang well beyond the governor’s race, impacting Ohio’s hotly contested Senate seat.
If I were @SherrodBrown, I’d be sending Vivek a bouquet of flowers today.

Friends don’t let friends do early vote analysis. It’s as predictive as primal astrology.
The moral decay of MAGA in a single tweet.
This is a godless movement.
I have no issues with the @amyactonoh ad. Her mother appears to be at least a creep if not something worse, but she's not running for Governor; Amy is. And there was nothing in the ad that said Amy lied about sexual assault. My problem is that stuff like this should be run by a Super PAC or the Ohio GOP or someone else. Never the campaign. You never have the candidate do the dirty work.

I’m calling on Mike Rogers to denounce the Muslim Brotherhood.
Pope Leo declared free of cancer, says Vatican
The Daily Wire supports child rape?
Vivek Ramaswamy’s ad is apparently unprecedented. It would be just awful to activate all the members of a politician’s family to attack them…as the Democrats did with every member of RFK’s family.

I have greatly enjoyed watching America feel the same things I have felt about Vivek Ramaswamy since the fall of 2003
JD Vance is an embarrassment to the Catholic Church.
That’s why two popes called him full of sh*t in a single year.
Vance: The media and the Democrats in the state of Ohio are obsessed because Vivek Ramaswamy had the audacity to run a TV commercial which calls it out like it is and calls Amy Acton a liar.

The unemployed grifter said he voted Republican in 2024 five days after the inauguration.
In 2024, I early voted for Kamala Harris.
On Friday, I early-voted for Republicans in the 2026 midterms.
If you’re a frustrated Republican thinking about staying home, this one’s for you.

NEW: Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood at a town hall in Caro on Saturday. Then he asked the voter who demanded it why a Muslim candidate would need to.
Invoking John F. Kennedy, El-Sayed told the room: “I’m not running to be a Muslim senator. I’m running for the U.S. Senate and happen to be Muslim.”
Kennedy faced the same suspicion from Protestant ministers in Houston in 1960. Five years later, the Second Vatican Council told Catholics to regard Muslims “with esteem.”

Trump promises to lead Christianity where it’s never been before — beyond Jesus: “He’s going to lead us to a period of time in Christianity that nobody else can do.”
As someone who has been invited to events like this, it’s in no way a secret.
“Napa Institute co-founder Tim Busch and his wife Steph have, since late 2023, hosted more than 15 “salon dinners” in their Manhattan apartment overlooking the Freedom Tower and in Orange County with Fr. James Martin, SJ, as their special guest.”

NEW: A Catholic nun pressed Vice President JD Vance on Saturday to justify ICE’s conduct to people of faith at a CBS News town hall in Michigan.
Sister Nancy Sylvester asked how the behavior of ICE agents “can constantly be justified in terms of the kind of values we want to live by.”
Vance never answered. She is the latest Catholic sister to challenge him on immigration.
Last fall, ICE turned away Sister JoAnn Persch, 91, when she tried to bring the Eucharist to detainees outside Chicago. She died two weeks later.

Nuns have always been on the frontlines of humanity. They have always led the way and they continue to do so today—fighting for social justice, fighting for the values of the church, fighting, fighting, fighting.

“AI can process information quickly, but it cannot replace human intelligence. And don’t ask it to do your homework for you.” — Pope Leo XIV
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing.
