More reporting suggesting that Musk does indeed have his finger on Starshield's operability. Quite a lot of power for a ketamine-addicted trillionaire in bed with hostile foreign regimes. You might even say this endangers U.S. national security. wsj.com/world/trump-called-m…

Todd Blanche won't rule out trying to block states from certifying their midterm results.
Asked whether the Trump DOJ might try to block a state from certifying results, Blanche said: "Yes. Of course there are scenarios that we could all come up with hypothetically. Some doomsday scenario, for example."

Let us be clear: We are already investigating Corey Lewandowski’s dealings at DHS. A Democratic Congress will build on that work and demand the records and his testimony under oath.
He will not get to hide behind this administration.

This is FAR more dark than you realize…
We all knew Lindsey Graham was gay.
That’s not the problem.
The problem is he paid male escorts, including a minor, for sex, and was apparently filmed doing so.
That blackmail obviously ended up in the hands of foreign adversaries.

The spike next year was baked into the OBBB Republicans passed in 2025. They backloaded the shitty parts of it until AFTER the midterms but front loaded the debt and deficit exploding tax cuts. Would be helpful if you, you know, did journalism and explained that basic fact.
Premiums are expected to skyrocket for the fourth year in a row, and employees will likely pay more when they receive care, too. The increased costs will put an additional squeeze on Americans' already-tight budgets, adding to the nation's affordability crisis. cnn.it/488Apxi

Great sign for the Lahn campaign when you have to refer to your running mate's father as mentally unsound right before the election
The @ZachLahn campaign in response has accused Wulf's father of being mentally unsound: "Sadly, Derek’s father has experienced serious health and memory issues in recent years."

Threatening to withhold compensation from veterans and families harmed by Camp Lejeune's contaminated water based on how North Carolina votes?
These families have suffered enough. Their care and compensation should never be political bargaining chips.
This is beyond disgusting.

I know lots of people in Iowa who own small planes. The beef isn't that you have a plane. It's the fact you have to use the plane to commute back and forth between your home in Kansas and campaign stops in Iowa.
Rob’s supporters are commenting on this criticizing my ownership of a small plane, while overlooking him being the wealthiest candidate for IA Governor likely ever.
- $77m home in Aspen (recently sold)
- Private jets
- Family yacht
- Multimillion dollar home in NW Iowa
- $200k vehicles.
It is a derangement syndrome in its own class.

Scoop | Hegseth wanted Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it.
Photos obtained by The @washingtonpost show a gash in the World War II-era artifact that resulted from a botched relocation attempt.

Zach Lahn keeps skimming past the fact that Rob, his wife and his kids, for that matter, all live _in Iowa._
If tornados take out Ankeny, we wouldn’t have to wonder if he’d be able to deal with it or if it’s his weekend to be out of town again while Derek Wulf is MIA.

Now Zach Lahn’s pick for lieutenant governor is being called out by his own parents for owing them
$275K.
This was the first choice Lahn made as the candidate. Why are we supposed to trust him with all of Iowa?

Glad to see CNN reporting on this. @Acosta and I raised concerns about DHS potentially using a military-grade “heat ray.”
After 20+ years in national security, I find this deeply troubling.
A weapon designed to inflict intense pain. Against civilians?
Why does DHS need this?

Davram Stiefler: “You said Donald Trump is a businessman. The debt crossed $40T, we have high grocery prices, high gas, record diesel prices”
Trump supporter: “The Biden administration. They were still at the same prices as they were, that they were… help me out here...”
DS: “What about the Iran war? That’s I thought what’s causing the prices to go up, is that incorrect? It’s Biden?”
TS: “Yeah. It’s still carryover from what Biden did to us and had been doing to us”
DS: “You don’t think it has anything to do with the war?”
TS: “No, I don’t. I’m not buying it. I think it’s just a bunch of crap that we’re being… uh… forced into believing that we been forced to believe into all this time”

Let's check the notes:
88,700 contributions. Nearly 95% under $100. Not a dime from corporate PACs.
Meanwhile, more than $16.8 million of Zach Lahn’s money comes from outside of Iowa.
