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.

IOWA FIRST… FROM KANSAS? Zach Lahn is running for governor of Iowa while maintaining a home in Wichita. He voted in Kansas in 2018, 2020 and 2022, then registered in Iowa in 2024. Flight records reviewed by the Des Moines Register showed his plane making frequent trips back to Wichita.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
