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

Is this the same Danny Trejo who's in the cast of a Ben Shapiro-produced PRO-ICE movie currently filming in Montana (with a non-union crew) that focuses on how Renee Good and Alex Pretti deserved to be murdered? www.livingstonenterprise.com/news/filming...

#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

It's a great look at why some people consistently vote against their own economic best interests. It was published more than 20 years ago, so is a little dated, but its key messages hold up.

Having grown up in Kansas, I agree, although both farmers and cattle ranchers have vocalized their frustration with tariffs, beef imports and Marshall. But you're right, their support will continue. That's what made "What's The Matter with Kansas" by Thomas Frank such a good read a few years back.

I think it’s telling that there hasn’t been a democratic senator in Kansas since 1932 and yet the GOP is panicked and having to spend money there.

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...

Holy shit, it wasn’t your imagination. Look at this poll. New Gudelunas Strategies numbers show Xavier Becerra surging, the same momentum we’ve been seeing online. Not a top-tier poll, but still, the direction is clear: Becerra is rising fast after Swalwell dropped out. Keep the polls coming!
