We went to see the Odyssey tonight in our small-town opera house; afterward a friend brought up the song "Dialogue" by Chicago in 1972. You really should Google the lyrics and listen to the song. The movie and the song both have relevance and lessons in them. Thanks, Dave Williams!

We can do better, Iowa. Vote for Sarah Trone Garriott this November; she is a wonderful candidate! Nunn is too emotional for the job.

WHOA!! Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) just STRUCK a person asking him a simple question about rural hospital closures. Reporter: Do you still think rural hospital closures are a myth? Nunn: I said I'm with a constituent. You should protect their privacy! *SMACK*

Trump promised to protect earned benefits and instead gutted Medicaid from 17 million Americans and cut ACA subsidies from 24 million Americans. Trump promised to end inflation and inflation is currently *rising.* It's effectively at the same rate as when Biden left office.

Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq. Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.

Why I hate unitary executive theory with a strength of 10,000 suns. Turns out having a President who exercises total control over hiring and firing creates perverse incentives for people to commit to one man over a democracy.

“Dems cannot pretend this is a normal Republican administration. They cannot ignore masked agents in the streets, armed troops in the cities, billions of dollars of money going into the Trump family’s pockets… If Dems cannot make an issue out of all that, then they are screwed and so are we.” 🎁🔗

“If you wonder whether Medicaid is important in Iowa… more than 600,000 Iowans are enrolled in Medicaid. That’s almost 20 percent of the state, including 2 in 5 children. 50 percent of nursing home residents receive Medicaid. So… the funding is life or death for many,” Sen. Ernst. -Dan Rather

House budget bill’s top farm subsidy loopholes and giveaways
Farm subsidies already favor the largest farms. The budget reconciliation bill is packed with loopholes that would make the problem worse.

House Republicans passed their bill that’d rip health insurance from millions and take food assistance away from millions including households with kids as young as 7 in the largest Medicaid and SNAP cuts in history - while giving giant tax cuts to the rich. Thread on the next steps of the process.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files. It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

@autisticbooks.bsky.social Hi, I'm looking for a little advice. I'm Autistic, my 15 year old daughter is also about to be diagnosed too but is VERY much in denial about it & won't discuss it. She is a huge reader, can you recommend anything to gently introduce ideas to her without being preachy?

Donald Trump Is a Weakling. That’s the Problem.
Yes, he’s authoritarian. But the specific danger he poses is the chaos caused by his lack of discipline, not a triumph of the will.
