What Iowans are reading about @ZachLahn on day 1 of the general election:
“He was a Koch-connected political operative who blocked Medicaid expansion in Montana, co-founded a Koch-funded private school in Kansas, and barely met Iowa’s residency requirement to run.” #IAGov
These required courses would increase the cost of college education for students and their families by thousands of dollars in order to satisfy an ideological goal, not an educational one.
More of the same rehearsed, stock answers from Trump’s judiciary nominees. We need judges who are fearless & strong, not spineless & weak—so fearful of Trump that they are unable to say Biden won the 2020 election.
This is amazing! @RepLindaSanchez to RFK Jr:
"You're spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock, and somehow you think that's a better public health message than informing the public about the importance of vaccines."
The US Navy sent its two most powerful warships to fight Iran. Both are now gone from the front.
The USS Gerald R. Ford, the most expensive warship ever built at $13.2 billion, left the Red Sea after a fire broke out in its laundry room. That’s the official story. The real story is what a Pentagon testing report quietly revealed at the same time.
The Ford’s jet launch system is unreliable. Its radar is unreliable. Its weapons elevators, the lifts that move bombs and missiles to the flight deck, are unreliable.
Pentagon testers said there is simply not enough data to assess whether the ship can keep operating if it takes enemy fire. Fixes for these combat systems have been identified. Most remain unfunded.
The ship also doesn’t have enough bunks. It needs at least 159 more.
This is the Navy’s flagship. Delivered years late. $13.2 billion. Deployed into a war zone with systems the Pentagon itself cannot certify as combat-ready.
Then there’s the USS Abraham Lincoln. Iran claimed repeatedly that its missiles forced the Lincoln to retreat. The US called it propaganda. What’s not disputed: the Lincoln moved from 350 kilometers off the Iranian coast to over 1,100 kilometers away.
Both carriers are now parked far beyond the range of Iranian anti-ship missiles. The Pentagon calls it “tactical repositioning.” The Ford has been at sea for nearly 11 months, one of the longest carrier deployments in modern US history. Maintenance on nuclear carriers takes months under normal conditions. After a fire, an 11-month deployment, and a backlog of deferred repairs, analysts are now talking about 12 to 14 months out of action.
America went into this war with two carriers. It now has zero operating near the fight.

FBI agents have to retire at 57, air traffic controllers at 56, and pilots at 65. But somehow demented 70 and 80 year olds running the country is totally fine. Make it make sense.
Neguse: Where is this company headquartered?
Noem: I don’t know.
Neguse: I don’t know either. We can’t find it. We did find an address that’s registered to a political operative. This company that received 143 million dollars was incorporated 8 days before this contract went out.
You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquarters, doesn't have a website, has never done work for the federal government before and is registered apparently or attached to a residence from a political operative, and of course one of the subcontractors of that contract, as you know, is a political firm that's tied to, to you back when you were governor of South Dakota?
Iowa has now won eight (8) games in EVERY full season since 2015.
That’s 10 straight FULL years of 8+ wins for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa is one (1) of just four (4) FBS programs with 8+ wins in the last 10 FULL yrs:
• Alabama
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Ohio St
Remarkable success.
Good morning and Happy Thursday to everyone who LOVES the way the South Park guys absolutely cooked trump in their test season premiere, he is going to HATE the accurate size depiction of his tiny member.
Be a shame if everyone retweeted this.
🚨 HUMILIATING:
This video of Trump saying he's surprised Biden put in Powell as Fed Chair while a video of Trump nominating Powell HIMSELF plays below is going viral.
Share this video of Trump's mental decline because the media won't. They're too busy giving wall-to-wall coverage for some autopen bullshit.
