Those we elect into office -- they need to actually represent all of us, not just 🦨 & 💰💰💰💰. Grown man has to run & hide because he's too chicken to talk to a dad who cares about his kid. Sad state of things.

🚨 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

Manipulating his video clips, one poster board, one sound bite at a time -- because Senators' speech is protected from litigation while in session / Congress. Jack Smith was however under oath, cautious, truthful. Enough mud throwing & theatrics.
