📊 The math ain't mathing for the Iowa GOP today.

Meanwhile this is what is happening across the state.
Utah population centers are almost entirely 'elevated' or worse.
Get your vaccines ASAP before they're not available and stock up on quality N95 masks again. This winter will be a rough one.

This isn’t about John Bolton, so whatever you think about him is irrelevant. It is about every person who dares to publicly criticize Trump. It is about intimidating and silencing all of us, and it will work with some. There are going to be many more Boltons in the coming months.

What Danielle said.

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%

Let me put that another way.

President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

Seems like the new MAGA brain implant chip is to say the whole red carpet soldiers in their knees thing is because it was a military base. This is completely false. It’s a choice.

Also Zelensky will be landing at Andrews. A military base. Let’s see if they do this for him.

Ok Blue Governors..👇

Gavin Newsom has really stepped up, and now it is time for all Blue States to do the same!! 🇺🇸

Let's. Do. This. 😎👇

Who else AGREES?! 🤚

Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Notification about the Kennedy Center Honors:

At a time when every VA medical center has severe staffing shortages, Doug Collins & Trump have proudly touted their efforts to push 30k VA workers out of their jobs.

Secretary Collins is more focused on social media and confrontation than on facing reality and solving problems.

"...Of the roughly 2,000 doctors who were offered jobs between January and March, nearly 40% turned down the offer...Every month that Trump has been in office has seen a decline in doctors employed by the VA. Between January and June, twice as many nurses left the VA system as have been hired."

The 18-year-old charged with child rape who got a lighter sentence after Utah Senate President Stuart Adams pushed for a change to the law was his own step-grandchild.

Favorite is 2, but 3 goes hard. Close 2nd.

Todd Blanche, the No. 2 at the Justice Department, had a meeting with a woman who was convicted of running an international pedophile child sex-trafficking ring and who is angling for a pardon from President Donald Trump.

MAGA: Take a look at the slop that rightwing media has spent the last few days shoveling at you to distract from what we now know is a coverup to hide Trump's presence in the Epstein files. Charlie Kirk, Tim Pool, Jack Posobiec, LibsofTikTok with "BOMBSHELL" news about Obama and Clinton....

Hey US weather folks...this is a big deal. Go follow @nws.noaa.gov

Trump has settled on the perfect way to end the Epstein scandal: have Merrick Garland pretend to investigate it.

Every day, Trump loses it a little more. On Sunday, he reposted an AI-generated video of former President Barack Obama being arrested by the FBI. The video opens with a clip of Obama saying, “No one, especially the president, is above the law.” Trump should remember that. The irony writes itself.
