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.

If you donated to Josh Turek without realizing he was running on a federally funded trans healthcare coverage ban, you can request a refund of your donation here: help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/art...

Thread 🧵: the fraudulent transgender mailers have a connection back to Dallas, Texas, where a local Republican megadonor used a similar playbook years ago when he funded a fake BLM group to send letters to wealthy white parents that were designed to discredit the BLM movement.
CBS identified Illinois based Three Z Printing as the holder of the permit associated with the fake transgender mailers. One of the owners, Matt Zerrusen, is based in Dallas. His Instagram shows pictures with Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump, and comments from local Republicans.
Fuck, Josh Turek

NEW: Lindsay Graham and Jim Clyburn were under FBI investigation for bribery. Then Trump dismantled the DOJ & FBI public corruption units. The investigation died. We unearthed it: www.propublica.org/article/nava...

Petition to replace the word “donor” with something else for people who funnel *millions*—not to mention $250 million—into campaigns. That’s not a donor—that’s a buyer.
Elon Musk is the top political donor of this midterm election, a report shows. Our reporter Theodore Schleifer explains how Musk, the world's richest man, came back from a brief rift with President Trump and Republicans to become a central player. trib.al/8zaFISN

Great to be able to radio out to the world again. We talked heart surgery, the Venn of disappointment in media and Hawkeyes, who are in position to be one of the B1G’s top 3. And welcome back to the beat writer’s best friend, the QB controversy. Enjoy, leave notes, party on.

“You can only tell that story of American progress if you erase Native people.” In a Q&A with @alexmar.bsky.social, journalist @rebeccanagle.bsky.social explains why the history of Indigenous dispossession is essential to understanding the U.S. government & its relationship to democracy today.

Turns out the person who demanded that Macklemore be removed was Patriots owner Bob Kraft under threat that he would cancel their tour stop at the Patriots stadium. Oligarchal pressure stomping the first amendment. Also Ed Sheeran is a fucking coward. Writing about all this now.
Cancel culture for those who say “Free Palestine.” Free Palestine. Free Macklemore. variety.com/2026/music/n...
