Zach Lahn re-registered to vote in Iowa in Oct 2024 — just in time to qualify to run for governor in 2026. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in 2024. But previously unreported voting records show he requested it be mailed to him — in Kansas. W/ @bethreinhard nytimes.com/2026/10/25/us/po…

In what world is “hundreds of thousands” not “350,000 to 580,000”? This has always been the problem with “fact checking” — it is simply not equipped, nor did it adapt, to a post 2016 world.
Rallying in Cleveland for Democratic candidates, Barack Obama said Jon Husted "voted to kick hundreds of thousands of Ohioans off Medicaid." This is largely accurate. PolitiFact previously fact-checked an ad by Brown that said Husted voted “to kick 490,000 Ohioans off their healthcare,” rating it Half True. Obama’s version was less specific and therefore more accurate. The health care think tank KFF has estimated that 350,000 to 580,000 Ohioans could lose coverage. A more recent study by RAND found results broadly in line with KFF. buff.ly/LwkU5Db

Everyone defending the Cheesecake Factory aesthetic, does no one want to take a brave stand for Liberace’s honor????
Bill Clinton: "I think Congress made a mistake not protesting turning the Rose Garden into what looks like the entrance to Liberace's bathroom"

NEW this morning: Des Moines Register endorses @turek4iowa for Senate! “Josh Turek is the U.S. Senate candidate in Iowa most likely to succeed in removing some of the external pressure on agriculture in Iowa.”

But... working class people have mirrors too.
“How much time do you think this defense secretary spends looking in the mirror in the morning? These are not serious people” — Obama’s audience in Ohio is hanging on every word as he skewers Trump and Hegseth

Obama: "Imagine the power duo of Abdul and Elissa. You got a Muslim man, a Jewish woman, fighting for you in the US senate. That's something, Michigan, you can be proud of!"

President Obama knows the stakes this fall—and knows how important it is to elect our statewide Democratic ticket in Michigan. An absolute honor to share the stage with him tonight. Yes. We. Can!

Obama’s crowd of nearly 10,000 people in Ohio. A Trump rally could never compare.

The place was not empty. They had to put people into an overflow room two hours before @BarackObama took the stage.

Quite literally no one does it better than @BarackObama
OBAMA: He's got the White House looking like Saddam Hussein opened a Cheesecake Factory. It's gold everywhere.
