I don't expect everyone to know this, but it is immensely funny because Iowa is home to one of the United States' most storied multi-day bike rides. And it regularly goes through the district Mitchell is seeking to represent.

I know you've been spending a lot of time at Mar-a-Lago recently Joe, but we're pretty proud of our bikes here in Iowa.

One guy on the entire team acknowledges the existence of the vice president of the United States who is standing just feet away. Humiliating.

The protesters are the only people at Trump’s rally who aren’t lying.

Trump is taking bribes in thousands of different ways. Despite great reporting we still only know a tiny percentage of it.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Texas Governor Abott hired a pastor to help pass the "Bathroom Bill" meant to protect kids from sexual abuse. The pastor turned out to be a child sex offender and has been arrested. Republicans do love their pedophiles, huh.

BREAKING: Fox News agrees to host a debate between me and Ken Paxton — because the people of Texas deserve it. They're just waiting on Paxton to agree. Ball's in your court @KenPaxtonTX.

Schmitt concocts an elaborate conspiracy all based on the premise that Smith must’ve been in ATL on a certain date because he was at a “Hawks” game that day but it wasn’t the Atlanta Hawks it was the Iowa Hawkeyes. His big gotcha moment made him look like a complete fool.

If you put Republicans in charge of the presidency, they blame Congress for their failures. If they also control Congress, they blame the courts. If they control the courts, they blame their state. If they control their state, they blame a secret shadowy deep state, NGOs & media.

Our military on their hands and knees wiping off the red carpet for the Chinese. A perfect metaphor for where we are with Trump.
Chinese officials look on as some final adjustments to the red carpet are made for President Xi.

It’s Cypress, not “Cyprus.” But for all the time you spend on luxury vacations in Europe, it's no surprise you don't know Texas.

People need to understand just how much Joe Biden has harmed this country in the last two years.

It seems a little crazy to me for the president to refuse to repair a government building unless his name is put on it after Congress allocated the money for it. Seems like something Republicans running in the midterms should condemn. Unfortunately they are too afraid of Trump

I think if we just picked out a random inmate in a local county jail for disorderly intoxication, after doing a lengthy stint in a dual diagnosis facility for taking shrooms and running naked through a playground, to be president they would do a better job overall.

Rob Sand was at a tailgate with friends and in the stands with the fans, not making poser videos for social media with a Russian paid influencer with a long history of plagiarism and posting lies.

Shocking that the guy who got fired for plagiarism is lying… I literally did a Jell-O shot with @RobSandIA at a tailgate before we all went into the game. 🇺🇸 🏈
Democrat Rob Sand was NOWHERE at the Iowa vs. Iowa State game! It’s the most important sporting event in the state. No signs, no tailgates, no supporters, no tweets even! Rob Sand hates football. @ZachLahn is a football guy and a real Iowan. We were rolling up to tailgates all day. Tearing it up with our fellow Iowans and Americans. Zach was mobbed everywhere he went. Only one candidate in this governor’s race is a true Iowan and man of the people. Iowa VOTE for the football guy. 🏈🇺🇸

Biden checks his watch at a ceremony and Fox does nonstop segments on it for weeks. But Trump falls asleep repeatedly at the 9/11 ceremony and they won’t even show it. But national broadcast news networks won’t show it either because that would be impolite.
