Really excited to see my and @ardenthistorian.bsky.social 's pieces on the nerdy fascism of Palantir up @religiondispatches.org -- give it a read, those people are weird and awful.

Line Item of Wahls $2400+ delta purchase with no indication of where he was flying at all.
it's also not funny about his gadfly 1st class tickets. Why hasn't anyone asked about the one line item for "Delta" for north of $2K - with no destination recorded? Why does it matter? Well, it's different than the other fancy flights he took and accounted for further into the document.
The Iowa Democratic Party allowed Wahls to fail upward despite all the signs that literally all the people who are in the IDP have seen for years - and years - and years. The kid is a millionaire. Why's he drawing a salary from his own campaign? Nope. Gross. FTX? Ageist bullshit? No thanks.
Now's the time to ask whether or not Wahls would:
1. Demand resignation of Eric Swallwell, and if so;
2.How does that square with his single slate election of Nate Boulton - who said the exact same thing as Swallwell when credibly accused of sexual assault - to his leadership team?
And, what about Swallwell?
Note in December 2025 Israel and the US recognised Somaliland as a State. Just keep that in mind going forward here in the US as we watch how the regime claims Somalia is so safe they can end TPS for current Somalis in USA. Let alone the claim destablising the region further.
According to the NYT’s own reporting (Swan/Haberman), in the situation room he told Trump he thought it was a bad idea “but if you move forward, I will support you.” Doesn’t sound like opposing to me

2/2 The interpretation of the Supremecy Clause must be relitigated. There are clear paths forward within the existing law of the land. Baked in. It's all over the US Military Code. It's in our treaties. The law is not settled.
How do I know?
Dobbs.
Now, US lawyers, go forth and figure it out.
1/2 The US left the international order decades ago (see: Nicaragua v US at ICJ) we've been this country. Now that it is in the main, the representatives of The People (Congress) cannot pave over Trump and the US military's abuse of IHL/IL

No, you cannot go potty alone lady.
It's worse than that isn't it? This is a consolidation of power into the hands of unfit leaders across the board. Was this - for example - because Hegseth was told the US is committing potential war crimes? Did Gen. George refuse illegal orders? Seems gangsters too light a term?

Based on the White House definition, there has now officially been regime change in the United States.
If I were a member of the US congress, I would be on my way back to the US Capitol. It's not just the Bondi firing - it's the Hegseth firing of the top US Army General. This is controlled chaos. What I mean by that is the chaos is timed by an unfit Trump [Miller] and a bloodthirsty Hegseth.
The things that western media consumers miss of consequence: Trump has warmed relations with Belarus - lifting sanctions, potash/financial. This is deeply concerning and another feather in Putin's cap. We see the Russia/Iran/US engagement clearly. But don't ignore the move toward Belarus.
I agree re: FTX. Especially since the figure quoted in the article likely doesn't reflect the $200K that must be returned. I think the spending is significant only as reflecting (in my opinion) character flaws re: decisions and a decdiedly not "populist" approach.
That article was interesting in the fact it didn't (unless I missed it?) address the huge FTX crypto issue in the room.
But what about that FTX crypto bro scandal you brought to the Iowa democrats that they now must pay back $200K? Or why Ro Khanna is backing Turek now? Or the Bolton/accused sex predator issue? Or that crazy text you sent to the caucus after they threw you out?
And what about the $200K of FTX currency? And how the Iowa dems are on the hook?
And the, frankly, unhinged text you sent to the entire Iowa Dem caucus demanding an apology?
And about elevation of a credibly accused sexual predator?
Screen grab of news article about Iowa Senator Zach Wahls raising over $770 K in 2022 to justify his first class tickets round the country - maybe world?
4/ this quote from the article embodies the way the Wahls camp thinks (because of Wahls actions in the past we know who he is) So that is $770K --- ask him about the over $200K he took from Cryptobros at FTX that IA Dems now have to pay back.
3/ I've reached out to Sen. Warren's office. I've asked about all the scandals - which in my opinion should be disqualifying - Wahls has created especially his transparent ageism, FTX connections, and his insane spending habits. I've not gotten a return on my Q's.
2/ he's not a prairie populist. His hands are smooth. Iowans know what that means. Hinson will win against Wahls and the Iowa GOP knows it. Turek? I don't think anyone can crack Iowa's MAGA mindset but Turek would lose by less. I want to know: how soon after Wahls loses will he move out of Iowa?
1/4 The only reason I am sharing a Washington Examiner post is because I've seen the internal documents discussed here. @zachwahls.bsky.social has refused - refused - to address his fist class travel, his elevating a sexual predator, and FTX $770K? Minus the $220K Iowa dems must return.
Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.
For example, I am a Czech citizen (via grandparents birth in Czechoslovakia/Bohemia and father) I was required to go through extensive hoops to secure that citizenship. However, by virtue of that citizenship in Czechia I am automatically a citizen of the EU (and a US Citizen)

And what of EU citizenship? Because that is separate and apart - and a whole different animal - than EU member state citizenship. Ask a Brit about losing citizenship overnight re: Brexit.
