What did we learn today? That Jack Smith is a Caitlin Clack fan and that Senator Eric Schmitt is a dirtbag! The senator mistook the Atlanta Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes and tried to accuse Jack Smith of perjury. Epic fail. I'm still a fan of Jack Smith. A real American patriot. 🇺🇸

Jack Smith made it crystal clear that his investigation was sound and lawful, that the president had committed crimes and that the GOP attacks on him were the actual weaponization of our justice system. He showed courage and moral clarity and continues to be one of the heroes of this moment.

Notice Hennepin IL is not on this map. We've tried steelmaking in the inland midwest before. In particular, Pittsburgh steelmaker Jones & Laughlin did in the 60s. The mill is so gone that the site has been leveled. time.com/archive/6627...

Interesting details on how the Iowa steel deal got done. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/u...

Mesabi executives have leaned on a Trump-world insider as the company has sought to expand its footprint in the United States. The company hired Jason Miller, a longtime Trump adviser, as its lobbyist, paying him at least $240,000 through his company SHW Partners, according to lobbying disclosure records. The government of India also hired Mr. Miller’s company, paying $150,000 per month for “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance on policy matters before the U.S. government,” according to federal filings under the Foreign Agent Registration Act.

There was a steel mill in my hometown, Kokomo, Indiana when I was very little. After it closed, it sat empty for years. Finally, it sold for like $2. It was so, SO polluted! Months of people in full hazmat gear for the next year cleaning and demolishing . So, yeah, lucky, lucky Iowa.

#Alaska In Noatak, gas prices are reported at $26.82 per gal. Meanwhile, rightwing media is doing a smear job on Mary Peltola-saying she’s “mean”. Guess what? If my gas prices were that high, I’d want a strong person to fight for me, & not another Trump yes man like Sullivan! #ResistanceUnited

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.

Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

Unhappy with the pain caused by increasing gas and fuel prices, now Trump wants to ramp up the hurt to the People by decreasing Education and Healthcare services even more apparently. “to cancel about $810 million that lawmakers had approved for education and health-related programs”
