Why do we always share the story of the boy who cried wolf, the boy who lied and fooled everyone, and not the story of Cassandra, the woman who told the truth, but no one listened?

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

Not one single Iowa Representative had a townhall during the recess. Not one. Who exactly was out there trying to advocate for medical neglect and starvation of children?
Mike Johnson on CNN and Fox News polls that show how unpopular Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill Act is:
“I'm not buying that, polls can be manipulated.”

NBC News confirms this report, adding that Matt Whitaker (now US ambassador to NATO) will consider coming back to run for #IASen.
That would create a big problem for Ashley Hinson #IA02, who is widely seen as the top GOP candidate for Senate if Ernst retires.

Did you forget? We didn't.
Trump promised to release the Epstein files. He didn’t.
His administration blocked investigations. His allies shut down subpoenas. The question isn’t just who’s on the list. It’s: what are they hiding?

So proud of my alma mater!
I could not be prouder to be part of this letter - signed by nearly 60 members of the Duke Law School faculty - reaffirming our commitment to academic freedom and the rule of law. And speaking out against what we see as recent threats to both.
Critically, we do so alongside other law schools . . .

Trump’s economy keeps punishing everyday Iowans, betraying workers while selling us out to billionaires. That’s not leadership – it’s exploitation.

Miller's been out to destroy a lot of things since college. I used to read his columns in the student newspaper. He's always been a hateful, anti-American person.
This is completely false—as a matter of constitutional text, history, case law, and ordinary common sense. Miller is out to destroy our republic.
