It hasn’t been quite as long of a Republican rule in Iowa, but it sure feels like it has. The damage is done, and people need to stop blaming all the problems on Democrats. Vote blue!

Nothing in my state can be blamed on even one Democrat. Missouri is representative of what Republican “governance” looks like in action. Trust me, you don’t want this…

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members? I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

This is going to hit all of us if it hasn’t already. In Iowa and other Midwest states, we depend on advance notice of severe weather like tornadoes and derechos. It’s a major step backward and people will die.

DOGE cut 13% of weather balloon launch sites. Remaining offices delayed morning launches due to staffing cuts. Kansas got 30 minutes warning before EF-2 tornadoes. For decades they've had hours. The NWS said no tornado threat then five hit NOAA says forecasting hasn't been impacted. Kansas disagrees

McGovern: How the hell is this America first? You guys broke your top campaign promise. Good luck with that. I hope the defense contractor money was worth it. Shame on you all. The mask is off. You're all just a bunch of pathetic Neocon Warmongers.

Has anyone checked to see if Dump has already stolen social security and other funds? He’s embezzled billions out in the open. What has he done in secret?

I’m so disturbed by some of the trumpstein material released. This is sick, twisted shit. Grape, torture and more. Every single one of the vile perpetrators and those who covered it up need to suffer. Decades of this. There has to be some sort of justice for what these poor babies suffered.

I keep thinking about the people that said Biden was so divisive. Look at what you voted for. This is insane. Are we great now?

Officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in a U.S. immigration enforcement operation can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, a judge ruled Friday.

“Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy and the animating force in Republican politics. In short, we are awash in bullshit.”

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Going after people who don’t like you is not normal. It’s authoritarian.
