The leaked chats between Young Republican leaders were obviously disgusting.

JD Vance’s efforts to downplay the scandal and complain about “pearl clutching” made an awful story worse. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

JD Vance tries to downplay leak of disgusting Young Republican chats

On October 15, the Supreme Court takes another look at Louisiana v. Callais, threatening to dismantle key voting rights protections. If Section 2 falls, minority communities could lose fair representation, potentially securing GOP House control for years regardless of how Americans vote.

Trump: "You hear those sirens going off? That's good. A good sound. That means they either got the bad guy or they're gonna stop the bad guy. You didn't hear that sound bc nobody wanted to do anything. Listen to the beauty of that sound. That's the real deal sirens, not politically correct sirens"
