I think people intuitively understand that democratic candidates tossing trans kids to the wolves is not only morally repugnant but also politically ineffective, otherwise they wouldn't freak out every time someone said they weren't voting for a democrat who did this

Punching down on population's most vulnerable won't push Josh Turek, Rob Sand, etc. to victory. Farmer Joe ain't coming across the aisle. And they already got Blue MAGA. Will hurt them with DSA. Growing everywhere, even red-ass Iowa. Done w/ down-ballot, lesser-evil BS. Every vote is earned.

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

Its not Republican vs Democrat it is the people vs oligarchy and a Democrat that supports oligarchy is of no more use to me than a Republican who does.

Elizabeth Holmes perpetrated one of the largest frauds in American history, including putting people's health at severe risk, and will serve less than a decade in prison. This tells you all you need to know about the tiers of justice in this country.

Shane Gillis bombs for the third time with a mainstream audience when will everyone stop pretending he isn’t just a Roganverse comic?

If you are anti-MAGA and you are glazing Ditka, you have a pretty selective sense of outrage. Ditka was MAGA before MAGA was born.

Companies have made applying for jobs and interviewing such a gauntlet in pursuit of getting their perfect candidate. What if they are rejecting perfectly qualified candidates that just don't do well in your ridiculous process?

If they wanted to, the hipster Vikings offense would score Touchdowns, but those are too mainstream. You probably haven’t even heard of kicking five Field Goals.

The day a Democrat almost had a spine.

The day that Biden grew so angry at Netanyahu that he nearly cut him off: "He was just completely fed up with everything and I think at that moment he was ready to just say, 'I’m done,'" Brett McGurk recalls as he releases "Brink," his memoir of Gaza war. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/u...

The weird thing about Pablo Torre's report on Tim Tebow is how hard they try to glaze him throughout the report. He's always been trash.

The Big Ten needs to step in on the Desman Stephens hit. Especially if it is true that USC allowed the player to remain on the sideline.

Iowa’s Medicaid privatization has been a disaster—driving up costs, denying care, and putting corporate profits ahead of your health. I’ll end it on day one.

Johnson County colors are at half staff today in honor of Ahmed Osman, who was lost at Lake McBride Tuesday. On Monday, our flags will be at half staff in honor of Hannah Jorgensen, the teacher who sacrificed herself trying to save him. Please keep the families in your hearts.

Arrest Netanyahu.

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Netanyahu directly attacks Zohran Mamdani (and his wife) from the UNGA podium, calling him the "antisemitic mayor of New York City," parroting The Free Press's stories about Rama Duwaji, tying Mamdani to Hasan Piker, and claiming the mayor is "buddies" with Hamas.

Establishment Democrats hate Mamdani because he shows everyone that getting things done to help the average person was always possible they just didn’t do it because of who they really serve.

1. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and 11 other Democratic AGs had Paramount and the Ellisons over a barrel. They had secured a restraining order against the merger with Paramount and their negotiating position was about to get even stronger. Then, Bonta threw in the towel.

I'm really enjoying Packer fans whining about the application of the Aaron Rodgers rule, a rule they and the organization literally whined into existence.

OpenAI did not "lose control", the agents did not go "rogue" and there is no "swarm" that "escaped". all control and responsibility remains firmly in the hands of these "frontier" labs. most importantly this "rogue" narrative is an intentional and strategic marketing PR
