I need y'all to help me today. Zach Wahls is running for the U.S. Senate to replace Joni Ernst. He has a good size following on other social media platforms but hasn't gotten much traction here yet.
We can change that today!

Give @zachwahls.bsky.social a follow and repost this, please. Ty! 💙🌊
I'm Zach Wahls. A sixth-generation Iowan and a new generation of Democrat.

And I'm running for U.S. Senate to defeat Joni Ernst.

I would be curious to see the number of people hired by department of homeland security during this administration that have criminal records
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Last week at the United Nations in Geneva, the US boycotted its human rights review that all U.N. member states participate in every 4.5 years. By evading its U.N. human rights review, America ignores what the world sees clearly: Texans suffering under abortion bans.

My take on Boebert…. She has no shame, and thus, is impervious to blackmail.

However… she can be bribed.

When Lightfoot released the song in 76, I liked it so much I bought a 45 of it. $1 at King's Department Store.

Billy Strings builds a great improv jam with his band for the first 4 minutes before the well-known tune begins. It's a darn good cover.

Just to be clear, a Utah judge didn’t throw out the GOP’s biased new map because of a “partisan opinion.” Utah voters approved redistricting standards. The GOP ignored them. The map violated the voter-approved rules, that’s why it was rejected.

Voters > politicians.

Pop quiz - How does a person that spent his entire career in real estate finance not know that a typical mortgage is 30 years?

The answer I am looking for is - Dementia.
