BREAKING: Joni Ernst having multiple meetings with Pete Hegseth, appears to be leaning toward caving and confirming him.

If she votes to confirm him — with all the credible allegations of sexual predation and alcoholism — then the good people of Iowa should VOTE HER OUT in 2026.

Blue Sky team, you're building something special and great here. Keep at it. Stick with it. And please don't sell it to an evil billionaire who's going to come around waving a lot of money to gobble it up.

Sincerely, a Happy Blue Sky user.

"The ‘moderates’ got *their* candidate in every single election in which the Republicans nominated Trump: 2016 Clinton, 2020 Biden, 2024 Harris… and they lost to Trump two out of three times. And now they’re going to blame *the left* for that? No f*cking way."

the craziest thing is that jack smith is doing this as a result of “precedent” but we threw the rules out the window when we let an insurrection run for the highest office in the nation

Thank God Merrick Garland waited nearly 2 years to appoint Jack Smith because, after all, nothing is more important than preventing the optics of politicization.
