Sen. Jon Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget ... the buzzword today, let's face it, is 'affordability.'"

I launched my campaign for US Senate because Iowans need someone fighting to make their lives better. Team Wahls volunteers stepped up this week to put that mission into action. Together, we packaged and donated over 1,200 pounds of food for Iowa families. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

In the hours leading up to the decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel, two sources familiar with the matter say, senior executives at ABC, its owner Disney, and affiliates convened emergency meetings to figure out how to minimize the damage. Multiple execs felt that Kimmel had not actually said anything over the line, the two sources say, but the threat of Trump administration retaliation loomed. Details: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/t…

Hallelujah!! Tariff sanity from @RepDeluzio in @nytimes Def worth a read. May not be what you expect from a Democrat. And that’s a real problem because it’s 💯% right on policy & on politics. Notable: This guy upped his ‘24 margin in a swing district. nytimes.com/2025/03/07/opini…

Instead of reflexively condemning tariffs, Democrats should embrace them as part of a smarter strategy to revitalize American manufacturing.

Over the last 4 years, I went on a quest to hold election deniers accountable and prevent another Jan. 6 from ever happening again... and yesterday the certification went off without a hitch. I broke major scoops on Sen. Ron Johnson, Roger Stone, Justice Sam Alito and his wife Martha-Ann, and many other rightwing extremists. But America failed to get substantive accountability for many of the major players. 1/
