DEMS WIN BIG IN IOWA: Democrat Renee Hardman wins IA State Senate SD-16 with 71.5%, a 27-point Dem overperformance from 2024. Harris won the district by 16. Hardman's victory blocks a GOP supermajority and makes history as the first Black woman elected to the Iowa Senate.

I like how people in the Trump Administration are too stupid to avoid becoming evidence in any war crimes trials after they leave office.

Pete Hegseth must be immediately called before both Houses of Congress and be told to his face in front of the nation and the world, that if he gives illegal or Unconstitutional orders, he will face prison for the rest of his natural life.

As a typical person with absolutely no rizz whatsoever, I am always dumbfounded by what people with charisma can accomplish.

"To allow Russia to keep any territory where those crimes were committed would not be a compromise. It would be a betrayal."

The U.S. Must Not Push Ukraine Into an Unjust, Unstable Peace
It would be a moral betrayal and a strategic blunder.

Friends call your Senators and House Member and demand they work against this outrageous betrayal of Ukraine and Europe.

Every Dem elected at every level of government should be denouncing this rancid appeasement of Putin.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Trump's deranged, pro-death takes on medicine and autism are giving me a headache and forcing me to take a Tylenol.

Bob Iger should pull ESPN on ABC content from any ABC affiliates that refuse to air @jimmykimmel.com, or at the very least swap out the top-tier matchups with poker tournaments or some other bottom-dwelling stuff that would otherwise be relegated to ESPN3 or ESPNews programming

A sinister part of the Republican response to Kirk’s murder is their attempt to claim all the anger around it. I’m angry, too. I’m grieving and processing. I didn’t agree with him on anything, but his murder is an attack on our democracy. It weakens our nation. We have the right to feel that too.

In the cheap fun category: Trump posted this morning that he had raised $8 trillion, or $65,000 per household, from import taxes (tariffs) so far this year. Every Republican in Congress can be asked if they agree with Trump's numbers.

The ones screaming for zero separation of church and state are the same ones losing their minds when anyone from the church says anything they disagree with politically.

So, small things make me happy. An animal rescue flight just flew over my house. (Via Flightradar24) Me, my dog and my sister’s dog waved (wagged). We wish all the rescue dogs so many happy snuggles and forever homes.
