Imagine being Blake Johnson, an Iowa father of 3, discovering your water has 3X the legal nitrate limit. He goes to Washington for answers, and Rep. Ashley Hinson, who takes agribusiness money, reportedly RUNS AWAY and hides behind a locked door. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

🚨 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

Vibrate a shallow pool at just the right frequency and the surface erupts into geometric Faraday waves, a resonance trick physicists have studied since 1831.

Guess which other narcissistic, mentally unstable authoritarian leader called for an arch and a ballroom to be built as grand monuments to his glory. I'm sure it's just a coincidence . . .

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?" So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Joel got a reply.

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇
