Who Vivek Ramaswamy truly is:
So Vivek Ramaswamy and his campaign found a homeless woman in desperate need of help, cleaned her up just long enough to exploit her for a political attack ad against her own daughter, and then sent her right back onto the streets? These people aren’t just cruel. They’re fucking monsters.

So the GOP wants us to vote yes on amendment 1. Why? Because it will make it harder for future legislators to undo the damage caused by GOP tax cuts for the rich when Iowa’s budget woes get even worse than they already are. VOTE NO ON AMENDMENT ONE. Stop GOP scams!

Quick reminder: Gold melts at around 2000 degrees. Washington DC did not experience that kind of heat wave. So… whatever Trump approved for those statues was not gold. Another multimillion dollar grift/money laundering scheme while Americans suffer.
Trump's $5 million gold refurbishing is now melting off the horse statues in Washington, D.C.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The statues were coated in real 23.75-karat gold leaf per the NPS contract. Visible streaks are not melting (gold melts at ~1947°F) but consistent with adhesive/sealer failure common in outdoor gilding. snopes.com/fact-check/tru… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arts_… webelements.com/gold/thermoche… eytzinger.com/gilders-techni…

To those who are bashing 95 year old Barbara Barrie who chose assisted suicide in her battle with terminal cancer, saying that it was up to God when she died. I'd like to say it's clear you've never watched someone die of terminal cancer and MIND YOUR FUCKING BUSINESS!

Speaker Mike Johnson: "Republicans have delivered on our promises in 2024, we brought down costs." He blinks twice when he lies. He does it 6 times 🤣🤣🤣

Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

What Zach Lahn isn't saying: he runs a private school in Kansas that rejects kids with disabilities and is millions of dollars in debt. He wants this to be "the model for reinventing education" in Iowa. No thanks. #IAGov #GovDebate kansasreflector.com/2026/08/…

Multi-millionaire Ashley Hinson voted for the Iran War 7 times that's costing Iowans everything everyday. She's telling you she would vote for it an 8th time.
Ashley Hinson supports Pete Hegseth's plan launch a major offensive in Iran after the midterms, saying "timing is everything." #IASen

Scathing exposé from ex-Trump official tallies ‘staggering’ amount of corruption Donald Trump’s second administration has been tied to roughly $377 BILLION in alleged CORRUPTION, according to a tally released Tuesday by former Department of Homeland Security chief of staff Miles Taylor rawstory.com/government-corr…

Ashley Hinson, like most Republicans in Congress, is afraid of Trump. She will never stand up to him, contradict him, do any oversight, or vote against him. For the past month she suddenly claims she has some different views than Trump, but it is all fake for the midterms.
Ashley Hinson, Wednesday: I’ll tell Trump buying Russian diesel is a bad idea. Ashley Hinson, today: 👇 Q: Did you talk with President Trump about the diesel deal with Russia? A: “I didn’t get a chance to talk with him directly about it at the rally.”

Look - it isn't my thing but Iowa is facing a budget crisis to the tune of $1.4 billion. A common-sense way to help address that would be to fully legalize adult-use cannabis in Iowa. And to solve the problems that come with it - we treat it like alcohol. Read my full plan here: robsand.com/issues/cannabis-…

I lived outside Iowa for about 15 years and voted by absentee ballot many times before moving back. The problem isn't having a ballot mailed to another state. The problem is, @ZachLahn has repeatedly said he moved to Iowa in 2023, then had his ballot mailed to Kansas in 2024.
Not the main point of this article, but wow: "Mr. Lahn cast an Iowa ballot in the 2024 general election. But voting records that have not previously been reported show he requested that his ballot be mailed to him — in Kansas." I did not think to check that!

Whether you're Republican, Democrat, or Independent, nobody wants American dollars ending up in the hands of regimes that threaten our allies or our troops. Americans shouldn't have to wonder whether the money they spend at the pump ultimately funds our adversaries.

Ok, so technically Hassett isn't lying. He's just not saying the whole truth here. The economy IS the "best we've ever seen" if you're a millionaire or billionaire. But that's it. It's one of the worst we've seen for everyone else this century.
Hassett: This economy is about the best we've ever seen. To characterize the economy as a negative thing right now is really just misrepresenting the facts

I hope the last thing he hears is a nurse whispering in his ear, “Barack Obama was the best president we ever had.”
