I got $90 today. It's supposed to offset my Social Security Premium. It doesn't come close. Our president is an idiot.

Considering this "president", I am determined he is more of a detriment than a leader.

I did get $90 from Social Security today. It's like 1/3 of the premium I pay for Medicare. He is such a #Liar

...which can be leveraged to bolster the company's borrowing power (I'm seeing red ink here.) + the offer of tax credits, a sales tax break, and property tax incentives. It will rely on steel tariffs remaining in place. Todd Dorman lays it out well! todddorman313202.substack.com/p/iowa-steel...

Ashley Hinson: 6 years in Congress, 15 times wealthier, husband's a shadow lobbyist, and she's slashing food assistance and Social Security to give tax cuts to billionaires. Meanwhile you can't afford groceries. The corruption crisis IS the affordability crisis. She's the proof. #Blues

A new Democratic House would mean subpoenas, hearings, and likely impeachment talk. Expect executive privilege claims, stonewalling, more governing by executive order and emergency declaration, and possibly new wars. Worst case: Martial law and sweeping arrests of Democrats.

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

Corruption, thy name is trump. Remember when they promised to root out waste, fraud and abuse? Turns out they just had to look in the mirror. Over $1.8 billion on vanity projects while your groceries, rent and health care keep getting pricier. Want to cut the waste? Vote early and send a message.
