Some have spent tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket. These families should NEVER be abandoned. How the hell are our service members supposed to focus on defending this country when they’re worried about whether their own families are being taken care of? #SupportTheTroops

Talarico: "We just found out that [Elon Musk] is almost single-handedly bankrolling this effort to install Ken Paxton in the U.S. Senate and defeat this movement...Elon Musk wants our land. He wants our water. He wants his very own personal United States senator. He is trying to buy Texas."

I don't think I've ever seen a political candidate who works harder than Josh Turek does. Just watch this video and tell me Iowa doesn't deserve him in the Senate.

Congress passed tough sanctions on Russia to punish Putin and help end the war in Ukraine. Now the White House turns around and undoes all of that to let Russia off the hook for their illegal invasion. That isn’t maximum pressure. It’s maximum retreat.

This is exactly the right approach — openly mock the bigots as small-minded and cowardly and weak and proudly embrace diversity as a sign of our strength and success

I know America. I know that, in America, we believe in a country big enough for all of us. So, JD Vance, don't you dare come from Ohio to lecture me. You don't know a damn thing about America.

Trump/Musk each deny they ordered Starshield throttled over Ukr. Trump used Graham law to lift rather than impose extra sanctions on Ru. Zelensky said Starshield is still throttled and (ruefully?sarcastically?) thanked Linsey Graham for everything. Ukraine continues to resist ever expanding evil!

Let me fix that: “I think I gave ICE too much money to hire far too many officers under a president who I knew would insist on deploying them without adequate vetting and training.”

Josh Turek: We have a corruption crisis that's leading to an affordability crisis because we're sending people like Ashley Hinson up to DC—not to fight for the people of Iowa, but to make themselves more wealthy. She's made cuts to healthcare and Social Security to give billionaires tax breaks.

Ossoff: "I want everybody who is clipping this debate to roll that tape. You stood here right on this stage and you said 'a total ban, no exceptions, even for rape, even for incest, even to save the mother's life.' That was your position and now you are changing it."

Here is Trump's "policy" about investigative steps before an election: 1. If you are a Republican, there is never a time when such steps are permitted. 2. If you are a Democrat, there is never a time when such steps are forbidden. If legacy media is suggesting anything else, they are lying.

The same Brendan Carr who wanted to investigate NBC because Kamala was on SNL? The same Brendan Carr who wanted to dismantle independent fact checking and accused them of being a “censorship cartel?” Periodic reminder that the corruption is a feature, not a bug.

FCC Chair Brendan Carr says that new pro-Trump TV ads paid for with government funds don’t “merit any sort of FCC review.”
