Adam Steen, one of five Republicans running for governor, held a press conference this morning to announce a few of his priorities.
I wasn't expecting him to come out for banning Sharia law in Iowa. #IAGov
So to recap:
-$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay
-they pass that cost to us
-Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔
heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)
Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.
NEW: The Commerce Department should be prevented from using funds collected through Trump’s Gold Card program to sidestep carefully negotiated controls on spending.
CREW's proposed bill and report language will help ensure that Congress can conduct proper oversight.
I dunno. Legit question.

Irony just choked to death on a clam strip.

British journalism. Best in the world.
Clankers.
This is some shit. You know that, right?
Oh.
“Somebody shorted the oil markets today by hundreds of millions of dollars exactly 20 minutes before Trump made his announcement that everything was going to be great. And if you see that once, it could be a coincidence. But that’s happened at least 3x… a pattern.”
The most corrupt regime ever.
Happy 80th birthday, Tim Curry.
"Well done"
This Christian and Jewish organization asks people to send money to rescue "one precious Jew" at a time. And that's not even the craziest part. christiannightmares.substack.com/p/the-most-i...
Longtime readers know I'm not prone to excessive optimism about Iowa elections.
But I do believe @sarahforiowa.bsky.social would win #IA03 if the election were held today. And if I were Zach Nunn, I wouldn't want to campaign with Trump or Vance.

“Feud with the Pope” is BACK as a likely Wikipedia section heading after a 400-year gap.
This FBI couldn't catch the alleged Kirk shooter—his family turned him in.
This FBI couldn't catch the Brown U shooter—he committed suicide.
This FBI hasn't found Savannah Guthrie's mother after almost three months.
You'd have to be drunk to think that Kash's FBI is anything but a disaster.
the strait of hormuz needs to have regular, predictable open hours or frankly they are going to lose me as a customer
My grandfather.
@deptofwar.bsky.social Sec Hegseth, my grandfather served in WW2. He carried a piece of paper in his pocket the whole time, on which he wrote his favorite Bible verse. It'd mean so much if you could recite this verse at your next speech:
"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." — Jesus Christ
Trump feasted on a staged McDonald’s DoorDash delivery while sailors he deployed to Iran are eating this…
Trump is golfing at Doral today. This is his 3rd Trump property he has visited in 3 days.
These trip add up costing taxpayers millions. Why don’t Republicans cut these trips instead of food assistance for poor families?

my “not in the epstein files” press conference is raising a lot of questions already answered by my press conference

ICE pulled over a man in Patterson, CA + shot him 6 times, hitting his face. ICE now says he is part of a gang in LA – a city he has no connection to.
Carlos Mendoza Hernandez, 36, now in ICU, says he's "never ever been in a gang" + was shot without justification www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...
What a disgusting thing to say.
Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom.
It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker.
"America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.
