@jtlinder That is awesome.

@DaveForIowa Doesn't he and his supporters remember when Selzer's last Iowa poll in 2016 predicted Trump would beat Clinton? She has been a reliable pollster for a long time and admitted that she was wrong and vowed to figure out why.

@HuskerPow3r @janice4iowa @HyVee You misunderstood. I don't laude corporate profits.

[Gretchen Eastman @GEastman34]

@HuskerPow3r @janice4iowa @HyVee And yet inflation came down faster in the US than anywhere else around the world. Record corporate profits yet it's all Joe's fault. You see what you want to see and blame who you want to blame.

[Gretchen Eastman @GEastman34]

@HuskerPow3r @janice4iowa Pretty sure it was a rhetorical question from Janice. She knows the answers.

.@TheLewisBlack would like a word with all the undecided voters out there

@LWaterbury @LauraRBelin Good. I am writing postcards and sending texts to GOTV for her!

[Gretchen Eastman @GEastman34]

@LWaterbury @LauraRBelin It may be the difference in the amount of money Corkery has versus Hinson. Corkery doesn't have the same amount of money to spend. She is running a true grassroots campaign and is gaining some traction. Not sure it will be enough, though. Sadly.

@janet4iowa Consolidated state government under the governor's control as well.

@LauraRBelin My Grandma was a country school teacher. After she married my grandpa, she was told, "She had other means of support," and had to stop teaching.

@RobSandIA Perhaps policy that rewards manufacturers staying in the US and penalizes the ones that go abroad for the cheap labor would be helpful. John Deere reported higher than expected profits last quarter. Put those profits in workers' pockets, not investors.

Navarro: Let's be serious. Donald Trump and his minions call Kamala a communist. I know communism. I fled communism from Nicaragua when I was 8 years old. I don't take it lightly. And let me tell you what communist dictators do. And it's never just for one day. They attack the free press. They call them the enemy of the people like Ortega does in Nicaragua. They put their unqualified relatives in cushy government jobs so they can get rich off their positions like the Castros do in Cuba and they refuse to accept legitimate elections when they lose and call for violence to stay in power like Maduro is doing right now in Venezuela. Now you tell me something. Do any of those things sound familiar? Is there anybody running for president who reminds you of that?

BREAKING: Superstar Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg goes viral for a knockout takedown of Donald Trump's collapsing presidential campaign.

This is one for the books…

"I think you were exactly right to describe it as distraction. The challenge of course is you have to say something if he attacks the service of military service members who earned the Medal of Honor," Buttigieg said to MSNBC's Joe Scarborough.

"If he, you know, goes to the National Associaton of Black Journalists and blurts out something racist, obviously you have to deal with that," said Buttigieg. "But you have to deal with that quickly and then come right back to our message."

"Because I do think this is a kind of strategy. You might ask why would a politician do things like that but you know going all the way back to the days of him denigrating the service of John McCain, it's very clear that he does this for a reason," he continued.

"It's a twofold reason," Buttigieg explained. "One, is he wants people talking about him. And then two, he wants people not talking about the difference between our agenda and his agenda especially when you look at Project 2025."

"It's an amazing thing that Project 2025 is kind of the scandal of the year for the Republicans, the thing that they have had to do the most damage control around," he went on.

"Because look at what Project 2025 is. It's just their policies. It's nothing but a write-up of what they plan to do and they really don't want the American people focused on how Trump is about tax cuts for the rich and we're trying to make sure we have a fairer tax code," said Buttigieg.

"Or Donald Trump demolished the right to choose in this country. Now, Kamala Harris will lead the work to restore that right to choose," he continued.

"Or any other issue from climate to gun safety to education. You name it. Where the American people strongly agree with us and strongly disagree with him," he went on. "They don't want us talking about that. They don't want us talking about his record, results that even if you go by the measures that conservatives tend to pay the most attention to — like crime rates — that was worse under Donald Trump."

"If you're one of those folks who thinks of the economy in terms of the stock market — you know there's a lot more to the economy than the stock market but to some people that's pretty much the same thing — the DOW and S&P were worse under Donald Trump than they were under Biden and Harris," said Buttigieg.

"Energy production! One of the things you hear Republicans talk the most about. Domestic energy production is higher under Biden and Harris than it was under Trump,” he continued. “He can't afford for us to be talking about that so every couple days he's going to blurt out something outrageous so that we're talking about that instead."

As usual, Buttigieg's analysis is incisive and spot-on. Trump has no popular policies to run on so he's resorting to cheap tricks and distractions.

Meanwhile, Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are offering a vision of a brighter future. Under their leadership, America will flourish and leave the fascist MAGA movement in the dustbin of history.

Buttigieg: Remember, he used his status as a multimillionaire to purchase a doctor's note to avoid going into service and let some working class kid take his place as Vietnam and decades later, he still very much the same guy.

No matter what happens tomorrow, I'm just happy that so many people have gotten to see how amazing @Tim_Walz is.

Infinitely proud to have worked for him (and be the person behind so many of these viral photos/videos of him). Here are a few of my favorite Walz memories 🧵
