Obama: "I'm not making this up -- the president of the United States is spending time supergluing gold medallions to the mantle in the Oval Office. He's literally doing arts and crafts while we are fighting a war and trying to deal with out of control prices."

Why did the flight manifest list Flavio Bolsonaro as an Italian National and not Brazilian meaning that he just immigrated to the United States with falsified documents. Where is ICE ? Didn’t Ron DeSantis say that Florida wouldn’t become a Sanctuary State. Maralago bound.

Bingo. Americans have too much pride to let Republicans turn our country into this Trump criminal enterprise #BlueWaveIn7Days #VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
So let me get this right: if you’re a corrupt right-wing leader who loses an election and is under investigation you get asylum? If you’re a mom and kid fleeing violence you’re not?

Amy Acton's stepfather's surviving biological daughter spoke to The Daily Mail when they knocked on her door in Ohio, while sobbing. She said: She believed Amy's story, because her father raped her sister more than once (the victim in this 1974 indictment); she remembered Amy lived in a tent with Donna and Cledith; it's been terrible for her family to see Vivek's ad run in Ohio; and she heard rumors her father had victimized even more young girls.
NEW: I obtained the full Trumbull County file for Amy Acton's stepfather's 1974 charge which shows that he was indicted for incest involving his 16-year-old biological daughter in 1973. The sheriff was then unable to locate him to serve him a summons in the county and nothing further happened in the case. Donna Arthur, featured in Vivek Ramaswamy's still-running campaign ad, married Cledith the next year in a neighboring county.

Ashley Hinson says she’s a “working mom” who knows “what is facing our families here in Iowa” while lecturing millennials on how to save money. Meanwhile... her parents bought her a $560K house in Hollywood for college.

I now have two sources close to Susie Wiles who claim that Trump is preparing a vast misinformation campaign for November 4th, built around conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud. The plan? Declare victory regardless of the results, accuse Democratic officials of manufacturing ballots overnight, claim voting machines were secretly manipulated, and demand that Republican candidates refuse to concede. In this scenario, the goal isn’t to prove fraud. It’s to convince millions of Americans that any election Republicans lose must have been stolen.

Every accusation they made was “projection or confession.” “Jared Kushner was allegedly paid $50 million by a foreign government to get former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson fired,” the New Republic reports. “In the new book Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East, author Matthew Cole reported that the United Arab Emirates paid Kushner millions to oust Tillerson, who had allegedly become extremely cozy with the Qataris.”

I try to keep it clean but government insiders taking away the power of the auditor to find waste, fraud, and abuse of tax dollars is bulls*^t. If I'm elected, we will work together to restore the powers to the auditor's office - no matter who is elected - because that is what taxpayers deserve.

However, several people in Lahn’s hometown claim they have either never seen him around Belle Plaine or haven’t spoken with him. One waitress at the Lincoln Cafe, only had one thing to say when asked about @ZachLahn: “I don’t know who that is.” dailyiowan.com/2026/10/27/no…

Iowa has a $1.3 billion budget deficit. Meanwhile, hundreds of millions in tax dollars go to private school vouchers, including for families who can already afford it.
