America, he is not worth this.
This unrelenting chaos that we find ourselves emotionally drowning in: the manufactured emergencies, fabricated culture wars, and conjured crises that hound us from the moment we rise exhausted, until the second our besieged nervous systems finally allow us a brief, though uneasy respite.
He is not worth the end of our Republic, an imperfect but determined two-hundred-and-fifty-year experiment in Democracy having its life and liberty choked out by a sneering, narcissistic, intellectually fetal, morally bankrupt bottom feeder.

HAPPY 250th USA! A good day to remember this iconic 1984 photo of construction worker Anthony Soraci, grandson of Italian immigrants, leaning in to kiss the Statue of Liberty while on scaffolding during restoration work.
One year ago today, Ashley Hinson voted to kick over 110,000 Iowans off their health insurance, put rural hospitals at risk, and cut food assistance to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.
Thatβs not leadership.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, a group of Americans signed their names to a piece of parchment and made a promise no nation had ever made before: that we're all created equal, endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights β life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We're the only nation in history built not on ethnicity, or blood, or geography but on an idea. That's always been what makes us exceptional. We chose that path 250 years ago but thatβs where the work began, not where it ended. Every generation has had to choose it again. At Valley Forge, at Gettysburg, on the beaches of Normandy, in the streets of Selma. Americans recommitted themselves to the principles on which our nation was founded.
Now it's our turn.
There's nothing guaranteed about our democracy. We have to fight for it, defend it, and earn it. Over and over, year after year. That's not a burden. That's what it means to be an American.
250 years in, we still haven't fully lived up to those words in the Declaration. But we've never walked away from them, and this July 4, I hope all of us can commit to one thing: that we never will. I don't believe we're as divided as we're told we are. I've bet my whole life on the American people, and I'm not stopping now.
Happy 250th birthday, America. Our story isn't finished. Let's keep writing it together.
Another day - another opportunity to chat with Iowans about their needs & work together to find solutions. Today, we will be in Missouri Valley, Harlan, and Onawa. Hope to see you there. #TownHallTour2026
I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT ANYONE SAYS β THIS MAN IS THE REAL MVP, AND A TRUE HERO.
This is Air Force Major Jason Watson's speech that resulted in his arrest on July 1, 2026.
I QUOTE: "In the grand scheme of things, I'm Just a nobody. What matters far more than who I am, is what I have to say, and the price I'm willing to pay to say it."
This man KNEW the trouble he was getting into by standing there in his military uniform, and he was willing to pay that price by sacrificing his entire military career so others can understand the dire situation of the current state of this country.
I can only aspire to obtain this type of bravery and courage.

Being a governor for all Iowans, not just one party or the other, is how we get our state back on track.
I'm proud to have the support of Republicans, Democrats, & independents from every corner of the state.
Zach Lahn has no skin in the game on solving Iowa's cancer crisis because he can just go back to Kansas. The rest of us live here full-time.
Lahn is just another political operative looking for a power grab at the cost of your family's health.
Morning! Can we talk about Donald Trump having a convo with an AI, and then telling everyone he talked to Teddy Roosevelt about the Panama Canal? But, for real.
