Dave Muhlbauer, Democratic candidate for Iowa lieutenant governor: Zach Lahn "made a rushed and reckless decision in choosing his running mate and is now trying to sweep it all under the rug. That’s disqualifying"

[Stephen Beck @stebek]

Iowa gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn was at one time a person I thought I could trust.
Not ai content, I was present for this and filmed it to my dismay.
Continue resisting white nationalism.
Prosecute & execute Trump-Epstein oligarch class.
Power to the people.

White nationalism gains traction daily all around and has came to roost in my own hometown. Not subtle, not nuanced, not implied.

We see all the establishment parties continue tapping toward the right like a clacking typewriter carriage.
Thomas Massie and MTG are now seemingly the voices of reason to the throng when held in contrast to the right.
The carriage may reset but the record remains on the page.

🚨🚨 High-level Trump sources tell me the White House is now uncertain if they can get the Russians and Ukrainians to stop fighting because this episode with @ZelenskyyUa raised questions about whether he can move forward toward a peace deal. It also raises questions about whether US will pause aid to Ukraine. But Trump is NOT seeking regime change in Ukraine. No discussions about who in Ukraine might be a better leader than Zelenskyy.

Ukrainian officials have reached out this afternoon to senior White House officials desperate to get the deal back on track. But that will not happen today, I'm told. Trump is unwilling to talk to Zelenskyy further today.

When Rubio and Waltz went into the Roosevelt Room to ask Zelenskyy to leave, Rubio made it clear that any further engagements today would be counterproductive. Waltz told Zelenskyy he had made a tremendous mistake, and it was a grave disservice to Ukraine and to Americans, both.

No phone calls between Trump and Putin have been scheduled. But multiple European officials have called top Trump officials since Zelenskyy left asking how the minerals deal can be salvaged.

Trump fully intended to sign the minerals deal today. Two official binders were prepared -- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and his Ukrainian counterpart and the two presidents were going to sit at a conference table in the East Room and then trumpet their success at podiums.

But there were suspicions before Zelenskyy arrived today that it might fall apart. Because the Trump admin had been pushing for weeks for a minerals deal signing at the ministerial level, and Ukraine had refused. Zelenskyy wanted security guarantees.

US officials thought negotiations would be much harder with **Putin** so today have been been in disbelief that it has been Zelenskyy who has been more difficult, making maximalist demands, sources told me.

Senate Majority Leader Jack Whitver says the idea of felony charges for teachers who give so-called obscene books to students is off the table.

"Charging anyone with felonies for these types of things I don’t think is a good idea," he said on @IowaPress. https://t.co/yIAiFF7oKy

@hellokatepayne @IowaPublicRadio All the best to you, Kate. You’re so good at what you do. Take good care.

@RubyforIowa It’s tough and it sucks but I can tell you the best is yet to come for you. I had something similar happen too…had to tighten my circle, find a great counselor, and trust that time will be on your side.

CONFIRMED: Human remains, an adolescent, found about four miles north of Montezuma. Clothing is similar to what Xavior Harrelson, age 11, was wearing when he disappeared from his home in Montezuma, Iowa on May 27, 2021. @kcrg
