MUST WATCH: An Iowa mom at risk of cancer showed up looking for Ashley Hinson. Hinson hid instead of facing her. Then she keeps taking campaign money from Bayer and Corteva while voting to weaken clean-water oversight. Iowa families deserve better than cowardice. #momsky#sheshed

#AZ02 Jonathan Nez is the right choice for your district. Eli Crane rubber stamps all of Trump’s horrific policies including-data centers, destruction of national monuments, raised taxes, cutting taxes for the rich, cutting your healthcare, and waging war. Jonathan Nez will fight for you! #Pinks

1. Lately, I have been thinking about Pat Robertson. Yes, the very same. The late televangelist was in the habit of accusing America of falling away from the straight and narrow when there was a natural disaster. Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods – these were God's punishment, he would say. For what?

One of the most corrupt media scandals ever: CBS paid Trump a $16 M settlement right before the FCC rubber-stamped their $8 billion merger. Then, they heavily edited his 60 Minutes interview while he bragged about taking their money. Do not let them bury this: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/five-resis...
