My first election in Iowa was Dem. Gov. and Dem. Dist. 1-3 with Dist. 4 being the only red. We had one of each party as our Senators. 1980.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starliโ€ฆ

We currently see no signs from Russia that it wants to end the war. We see no basic steps toward de-escalation. Everyone is talking about diesel and forgetting about grain. In a month or two, everyone will start talking about an agricultural crisis. There wonโ€™t be enough food for countries across Africa, some Asian countries, and the Middle East, because we export millions of tons of grain to these very markets. And now Russia is blocking the sea. The United States isnโ€™t feeling the effects of this, which is why the focus is only on energy. This is another challenge. Itโ€™s hunger. And it can affect many countries. And we need to think about everything and everyone, because we all live on this planet. We can prevent many different crises before they even begin and avert the challenges they bring. From remarks at the Warsaw Security Forum. (2)

So we're friends with Russia, enemies with Canada, and are going to livestream a public execution like we're Al Qaeda? You do understand that this is fucking nuts, right?

You know what Republican midterm ads won't show? Americans are selling their blood to afford food, and people are choosing between buying gas or making rent. That's the economy Republicans have created under Trump.

MAGA really went from โ€œTheyโ€™re eating the cats. Theyโ€™re eating the dogsโ€ to being okay with โ€œTheyโ€™re fucking the cats. Theyโ€™re fucking the dogs.โ€

The Kennedy Center was a beloved Washington institution, enjoyed by millions of people. It has been destroyed for no real reason. Just vanity, carelessness, indifference. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0โ€ฆ

A demolished East Wing, a shuttered Kennedy Center, and a peeling, drained Reflecting Pool. If you want a perfect visual for what Trump is doing to this country, there it is. If he canโ€™t slap his name on it or use it for a photo op, heโ€™d rather just watch it rot.

The United States has never looked weaker or more ridiculous and incompetent to allies and enemies around the world than we do right now.

Iโ€™ll never understand how evangelical Christians can look at Trump and think, โ€œYep, that man was anointed by god.โ€ Heโ€™s literally the worst fucking person on earth.

Labor Day Weekend, two months out from the midterms, I will be publishing a list of the 100 Most Corrupt Things Trump Has Done in the Past Year. All things Iโ€™ve already documented in my daily Bulletins. The most difficult part is getting the list down to just 100.

In less than 2 years these clowns: - Renamed Department of Defense the Department of War. - Burned through 70% of munitions and a near $1 trillion budget. - โ€œEndedโ€ 8 made up wars and lost the 1 war they actually started A national fucking disgrace.

Why are Iowaโ€™s new media not reporting on this? Interest groups with a stake in legislation pending before Congress have paid for Ashley Hinson and her husband to take five international trips, costing more than $100,000. Who wouldnโ€™t consider this a bribe?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I'm reminded that Nimarata Nikki Randhawa ran as Nikki Haley, Piyush Amrit Jindal ran as Bobby Jindal, Raphael Edward Cruz ran as Ted Cruz, and we still dont' know what JD Vance's actual name is because it changes every few years. But yes the real issue is Dr. Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed is running as Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. Every MAGA accusation is a confession.

Pete Hegseth has Nazi Tattoos and raped someone, and no one is talking about that. Crazy times we live in.
