WDM Valley principal called me on the first morning of school to inform me my daughter, Caroline, wants to go by her nickname, Carly. Thanks to the overreaching, unconstitutional legislation that Iowa’s “party of small government” passed, this is how low our state has devolved.

Liz Cheney is right.

"We can either be loyal to Donald Trump, or we can be loyal to the Constitution, but we cannot be both."

[Susan Glasser @sbg1]

So, Fox very on brand with a debate in which Hunter Biden is mentioned more frequently than Donald Trump (and the fact that Trump is going to be tried for seeking to overturn the 2020 election, not at all)

This week is full of so many new things! Maybe you're new to campus, meeting new people, or forming new routines. All of these things can be overwhelming - just remember, you belong here! #H2P #PittNow

Alabama U.S. Senator Tommy Tuberville, whose only qualifications for public office were his role as a football coach, just disclosed that he recently traded $250,000 in stock futures dealing with wheat, soy, corn and cattle.

So why is this such a big deal?

He just happens to also sit on the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.

He is literally influencing the agricultural futures he is trading on with legislation he has private information on.

Corruption at its finest.

When is there going to be an investigation into this?

Jon Meacham: "A huge chunk of the country, a surprisingly large chunk of the country, will follow the now-four times indicted former president to the edge of a cliff, and possibly over that cliff.

The question is: Do enough of those folks believe in the rule of law?"

The Titans got $1.26 billion in public money for this stadium — making it the biggest public subsidy for a stadium in U.S. history.

Tennessee ranks 44th in the nation in per student spending and 42nd overall for teacher pay, per Census data.

And then there were three…

Thanks to @TTuberville, three of the eight positions on the military’s storied joint chiefs of staff are now empty for the first time in history.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

That tiny grey sliver he is pointing to is the amount of money Jared Kushner got from US investors. The rest is from foreign entities.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Hunter Biden, who was never in govt, got roughly $10 million from foreign entities 2014-2017.

Jared Kushner got a $3.1 B portfolio from foreign entities in 2021 that he had just been directly involved in directing US policy from inside the govt.

The Have-Nots vs the Have-Yachts.

Teachers can write off only $300 of school supplies for their classrooms on their taxes.

CEOs can write off the full cost of their yachts.

This is what it looks like when billionaires pay millionaires to write laws to benefit billionaires.

[Amy Klobuchar @amyklobuchar]

People need to know this: Sen. Tommy Tuberville has now held up 301 military postings. He has even put a hold on the head of the Indo-Pacific command.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Hunter Biden does not pass laws.
Hunter Biden does not fight crime.
Hunter Biden does not lower taxes.
Hunter Biden does not create policy.
Hunter Biden is not a politician.
Hunter Biden was not elected.
Hunter Biden does not even work anywhere near the White House.

So WHY are so many Republicans spending countless hours and so many taxpayer dollars obsessed with Hunter Biden?

If your answer is "corruption" but you completely ignore the $2 BILLION DOLLARS Jared Kushner got from the Saudis, or the $640 million he and Ivanka racked up from their White House gig, then you're not a serious person.

You're only focused on Hunter Biden because President Biden is kicking ass and you have NOTHING else.
