For those pushing Dems to start making a stink about Elon's fundraising @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is now doing that.
Josh Turek vs. Elon Musk.
Working-Class Underdog vs. World’s Richest Man. 🥊💥🥊

Who’s your money on?

For context: Elon Musk is unleashing a firehose of cash to boost vulnerable Republicans in the battle for the Senate majority, including my MAGA opponent here in Iowa.

Why’s he so focused on this race in particular, you ask?

Well, I’m what MAGA billionaires like Musk fear most:

A candidate who’s not a millionaire and isn’t trying to become one.
A leader with a well-calibrated moral compass and strength of character.
A senator who can’t be bought.
Basically, an honest and up-sitting public servant.

Mike Rogers is a corporate sellout who moves back to Michigan every few years to run for office to take another swing at the revolving door of corporate politics.

Mike Rogers and Donald Trump think that their proximity to power is worth more than your ability to live your life. It’s why we have to stand up to Bad Men…

I did not state that Jews weren’t being restricted from immigrating. I’m saying that Pipes’ figures make no sense mathematically.

I would not rely on one paper for evidence. The consensus appears to be that the Jewish population of Mandate Palestine increased from 11% of the total population to 33% by 1947. That could not be possible if you accept Pipes’ figures.

So the question is: Did Trump lie when he stated that millions of fraudulent votes caused him to lose the 2016 popular vote? I’m on the fence, thinking it’s possible that his narcissism causes him to believe that his statement was true.

Reading your article after watching Mary Trump describe Donald Trump’s current mental state and likely future behavior leaves me quite worried about the future. The only thing that helps to relieve the anxiety is realizing how incompetent he and his team are. Still dangerous though.

Where’s the frog? In the 80s I ate at a Florida restaurant featuring all you can eat frog legs. The palmetto bugs outside the front door were a turnoff though.

It’s more than likely that a good number of Americans, if not a majority, don’t know who AOC is. I would not be surprised if many don’t know who their representative in Congress is. I see this as a major problem for our country.

What about a long‑standing white‑supremacy insurgency that predates the Civil War and is now in an insurrectionary phase — one that has produced a low‑intensity civil war?

I find this to be meaningless. We don’t elect presidents by popular vote. If we did, we’d have to decide what a win is. States don’t even agree on what constitutes a win for federal offices. Most use first-past-the-post, while others an absolute majority with potential runoff, or ranked choice.

Reworded to match one recent NYT article: A top FEMA official who thinks he was teleported to a Waffle House says that climate change is a hoax. Experts disagree. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.
