I remember when media did a whole bunch of stories about Joe Biden’s shoes to emphasize that he was old. But Trump can randomly blurt out random noises, fall asleep constantly in meetings, and walk like a drunk failing a sobriety test, and we get almost nothing.

RAGBRAI (The Register's Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa) is one of the most celebrated bike rides in the world.

The spike next year was baked into the OBBB Republicans passed in 2025. They backloaded the shitty parts of it until AFTER the midterms but front loaded the debt and deficit exploding tax cuts. Would be helpful if you, you know, did journalism and explained that basic fact.

There’s a pattern here: Zach Nunn takes the money, then he votes to make our lives more expensive.

Russia has never stopped attacking Ukrainian energy and power plants, despite Trump's "ceasefire"

BREAKING: Leaked texts show that Zach Lahn was so concerned about his LG pick Derek Wulf's legal problems that his campaign was apparently considering replacing him on the ticket with Bobby Kaufmann 3 days after the pick

ON THE SAME DAY, Lahn's campaign downplayed it publicly as "Derek is in the middle of a routine re-financing"

If you are shocked this am that Trump’s government executed a search warrant against a Democratic Member of Congress and ignored a judge’s order then you haven’t been paying attention.

Stop saying this isn’t how it works in the US. It is exactly how it works under Trump.

Historian of fascism here. This is an escalation of an attempt to normalize extreme violence, ritualize violence, militarize the country, and make violence entertaining so when they ask you to commit violence in their name, you will be ready.

This race is between a change candidate, and a change of address candidate.

10 years of one-party control has given us a cancer crisis, a water quality crisis, and has left Iowa families strapped to afford gas & groceries. It's time to rotate the crops here in Iowa.

NBC News: within 15 minutes of the Cornell campus alert on the sexual assault in November 8, 2024, tips came on to the campus police:

* the names of men
* the existence of a GroupMe fraternity group chat where frat brothers were discussing what happened
* two women at the house that night said the fraternity brothers assured them the incident was consensual — and later asked one of them not to talk about it
* a screen recording of a Snapchat conversation among Chi Phi members from that night, where one advertised “free p----y” in an upstairs bedroom
* a caller said one of the men identified was her ex-boyfriend, and he told her that he “had attended a party at Chi Phi” where a woman had been “sexually assaulted by several males and coerced into consuming ketamine and other drugs.”
And more.

Much of the information was never passed on to the Tompkins County DA Office.

C and I had literally five minutes between each set to capture photos that would be around the world.

Like everything she does, she killed it. She made it so easy for me to do something that I don’t typically do (usually I’m capturing action, it’s much easier lol)
