Imagine being completely wrong about everything and getting a promotion.

People thought this was my Halloween costume when it was in fact my election day fit.

[Michael Duncan @MichaelDuncan]

When people text me "what are you hearing, what are you seeing" on Election Day

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Release your donations and prove it.

[Bleeding Heartland @LauraRBelin]

Iowa Republicans periodically try to discredit my work because I am transparent about my views.

To be clear: I do not coordinate coverage with or accept any payment from any Iowa elected official, candidate, campaign, PAC, or any paid staffer or consultant on any Iowa campaign.

[Iowa GOP @IowaGOP]

.@RobSandIA is "Governor for All"...unless you're the wrong kind of "all." #IAGov

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

At a conference in Croatia right now I am approached by an American politico.... We get talking about Iowa. He says is that scammy social conservative snake oil salesman still around?

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Calling the #IAGov race a "toss-up" is a mistake. Between the @IowaGOP registration lead and Sand’s last race against a total unknown opponent, the data favors a Republican victory. We’re putting in the work to keep Iowa red. 🚩 #IAPolitics

Shout out to the @IowaSOS office. That's a lot of signatures to go through.

[Iowa Field Report.com @IAFieldReport]

Update. He will be on there. Stand by for new list from SOS.

[International Democracy Union @idualliance]

We are proud to announce that registration for the IDU Forum 2026, Zagreb is now open. We are looking forward to welcoming our global centre-right political family to the capital of Croatia! 🇭🇷🌍

Three-time loser Bob Vander Plaats knows a thing or two or three about Trainwreck campaigns.

[Bob Vander Plaats @bobvanderplaats]

This campaign of ⁦@RepFeenstra⁩ is like watching a train wreck in slow motion. https://t.co/1zxemSc87j

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Unless nutters like this concede that requiring an ID to buy a gun is an "unjust and racist barrier" to a constitutional right, their case against voter ID is meaningless. You can't claim a requirement is "suppression" at the polling place but "safety" at the gun store

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Curiously, that logic never applies to the Second Amendment. You need a photo ID to exercise your right to purchase a firearm—a requirement the Left champions as "common-sense safety."

[Shad Grey @Shades_0f_Grey]

@DMRegister The Register shouldn't print such nonsense without a fact check. For example:
- Airplane tickets, etc., are not constitutional rights
- "Illegals" voting is effectively a myth (see next post)
- All voter ID bills limit IDs to specific forms many lack. SAVE turns that to 11.

@LauraRBelin @GrassleyWorks In 2018, there was no universal mailing of request forms, yet Iowa still saw its highest midterm turnout in history (at the time) immediately following the implementation of the ID law.

[Randy Feenstra @RandyFeenstra]

“Voter ID yet another thing Iowa does better than Minnesota”

When I served in the State Senate, I voted to enact Voter ID.

While Minnesota Liberals don’t believe in voter ID, Iowans are proud that our state takes election integrity seriously!

Yet, watching the national outrage sparked by the SAVE Act you’d think we were asking @ChuckGrassley to turn down Dairy Queen.

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Tell us how many nomination signatures you need to get on the ballot.

[Abby Finkenauer @Abby4Iowa]

Tell me, “Iowa is in play for Dems” without telling me….

Anyway, for those in the back, IOWA IS IN PLAY. The congressional districts, US Senate, state wide seats, local seats, & obviously you can see from the bed wetting of the Iowa House & Senate GOP, the Governor.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

“Oh my god… I have no words.”

Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world.

[Ashley Hinson @hinsonashley]

I’m all in. I’m running for the United States Senate to fight alongside President Trump and deliver on the America First agenda.

From securing our border and deporting illegal aliens, to keeping men out of girl’s sports and cutting taxes for working families, I will fight every day for Iowans and our conservative values.

President Trump is restoring the American Dream but our work isn’t over yet. The Left will do anything and everything to resurrect their out-of-touch agenda and dismantle our progress. As Iowa’s next Senator, I will stop at nothing to Make America Great!

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

Will be Justice Bluestone one day.

[Senate Cloakroom @SenateCloakroom]

Confirmed, 49-47: Confirmation of Executive Calendar #259 Zachary M. Bluestone to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Missouri.

[Luke Martz @IowaStateDad]

I'll wager a dollar that @DanielBice has some lame excuse like It's not his fault because he's bad at his job.

[Rebecca Bradley @JudgeBradleyWI]

“Bradley didn’t respond”?
#PantsOnFire
This is why public confidence in the mainstream media has plummeted.
