[Rogue POTUS Staff @RoguePOTUSStaff]

The constitution of Iowa requires that a person be a resident of the state for at least two years prior before they can be elected as Governor.

This leaves Democrat Rob Sand as the only eligible candidate on the ballot.

[John Collins @Logically_JC]

This one hits hard.

Rollins on Screwworm: This does trace back to the last administration….

New credentials attack on Google, it's a subtle one. The email actually comes from https://t.co/qmUt6syHRr. It informs you that your recovery contact (an email you don't recognize) is about to reset your password and prompts you to take action. There's a link that appears to point to https://t.co/pOKO2bTLeC but uses the continue URL parameter to redirect you to https://t.co/Ncvbz3poTV, which hosts the attacker's site. If you scroll down, you can see the bottom of the email, which just shows that someone is asking to add you as their recovery contact. The entire first part of the email is a user-controlled field in Google's system that the attacker controlled to include the malicious link and text.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”

Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.

Wow, if you read this you might get the impression that trump is getting ready to steal the next election! And you’d be right.

[Anthony Scaramucci @Scaramucci]

Trump said something outside a press gaggle that I don’t think enough people caught.

A reporter called him out on the corruption. He gave three responses.

1. I have the right to do it.
2. He’s not stealing that much. A billion or two billion dollars. Not that much money. Classic Trump.
3. People don’t care.

That’s the permission structure. Our collective apathy is what they’re using to justify everything happening in Washington right now.

Please stand up and prove him wrong.

Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.

Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.

The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."

The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.

Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.

The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.

JD Vance: “If you’re born in this country and your parents were not U.S. citizens then you should be deported.”

Grok: “There is no evidence that Usha Vance’s parents were U.S. citizens when she was born in San Diego in 1986.”

🚨BREAKING: Some in Congress, even Republicans, are noting Trump feels safe enough to attend an NBA Finals game at MSG, in an arena full of people who hate him.

They are questioning why $1 billion of constituents’ tax money needs to go to a ballroom safe space vanity project.

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Republican-appointed judge: “The Court is not aware of another occasion in the history of the United States in which a federal court has had to threaten contempt — again and again and again — to force the United States government to comply with court orders.”

[MayoIsSpicyy @Mayoisspicyy]

FACT: Trump cut funding to stop the spread of screwworms. Then he signed an executive order allowing 100,000 metric tons of beef from Argentina into the U.S. per year. America eradicated screwworms in 1966, while Argentina has been struggling with them for well over a century.

[Covie @covie_93]

The average lifespan of a female screwworm fly is 10 to 30 days, once they lay eggs in an open wound they hatch and the maggots feed for 7 days before dropping to the ground, burrowing into the soil and emerge as adult flies.

Tell me then how can the first screwworm case detected in the US on day 498 of the trump presidency be Joe Biden's fault???????

[Alex Cole @acnewsitics]

Election Day is the deadline to vote, not the deadline for election workers to finish counting millions of ballots.

How are people this fucking stupid?

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

Mike Johnson says that the CA election is rigged so diabolically that it is impossible to prove. But people know it was rigged, because they know so instinctively.

I dare anyone to name a timeline stupider than this one.
