Let books be. Today kicks off #BannedBooksWeek, an annual observation started more than 40 years ago in response to a sudden surge in attempts to censor or remove books in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Sound familiar? Find ways to get involved and spread the word: bit.ly/4yvixbB.
LET BOOKS BE. Various line drawings related to libraries and books, including a hand holding a sign made of an open book that reads "Freed for ALL to Read," a tote bag that reads "Totes Resist" carrying a book, a full book cart with the head and tale of a horse with text that reads "A Wild Ride," and a closeup of two feet standing on a stack of books that say "A Soap Box" on their spines. Text at bottom reads "Protect the freedom to read. Banned Books Week, October 4-10, 2026." American Library Association. ala.org/bbooks

Rewriting History Won’t Change the Truth
The Trump/Nixon comparison is inescapable. Even if the GOP is trying to rewrite history to obscure the present.

Rob Sand says he isn’t trying to turn Iowa blue. It just might happen anyway.
In a midterms wave fueled by resistance and revenge, the Democratic candidate for governor is singing a different tune.

Every Republican is pretending to be a Democrat now. All of them are stealing the Dems' message betting Republicans who don't want to vote for a Democrat but may decide they have to, will tell themselves, well, he's a better brand of R than the MAGAs so it will be ok. Yes they are that gullible.

Great reporting by Tyler Jett for the Des Moines Register. Among other things, he confirmed the existence of a criminal investigation "which remains active," related to Derek Wulf's livestock transactions. Also interviewed some plaintiffs who have sued Wulf. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

All because Miller-Meeks has supported tariffs, wars, corporations, and billionaire tax cuts — instead of lowering costs for working people. It’s time to elect someone to Congress who will fight for working families, not special interests.
