The wind done gone.

These headlines are wild. Like shouldn't they say "Taylor Farms confirms lettuce supplied to Taco Bell in 5 states..."

We are not laughing, we are angry, piss off and disgusted by the United States, most of all your unwillingness to remove the mad men in office, he destroying everything, all over the world.

Timely reminder: Authoritarians lie to be repeated - to force us to have their conversation instead of our own. If you're debunking the claims, you're giving them airtime.

(🚨) PROOF EXCLUSIVE: Trump Repeatedly Solicited Illegal Campaign Interference From the Chinese Communist Party in the 2020 Election You can’t understand how obscene what Trump is about to say tonight is if you don’t know the contents of this exhaustive report on his past dealings with Communists.

PROOF will release *another* stunning report—yes, in *addition* to my now-pinned report—at 5:30PM ET. It's imperative that those who want to understand what Trump is about to do in his address tonight read this report. It changes everything—and none who read it will doubt that.

Hey y’all, I track rural policy news for a living, so I wanted to share a quick and easy explainer about what led to the current Cyclospora outbreak. In a nutshell, Trump and the wingnuts he tapped to lead the CDC are to blame: 🧵

The job of the State Auditor is to provide "watchful and responsible care" of taxpayer dollars. Despite those who have tried to limit our powers, our office has uncovered more waste, fraud, and abuse in a single term than any other State Auditor in Iowa history. Read More: https://bit.ly/4bBfLIf

Clark Kauffman: Two federal judges in Iowa have sharply criticized government officials for violating the law in immigration cases, with one Iowa ICE enforcement officer held in contempt for “astonishing conduct” and willfully violating a court order. www.bleedingheartland.com/2026/07/09/i...

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

Maybe Joni and friends should have thought about that before they burned the state to the ground. Raw Story reporting on Joe Trippi and Laura Belin's conversation. Republicans now 'sincerely worried' about Senate seat in a state Trump won by 13 points. www.rawstory.com/ashley-hinso...

I believe his background is important to point out, because how we've treated our Afghani allies is a fucking disgrace.

I talked with Democratic strategist @joetrippi.bsky.social about key races in Iowa, especially the campaigns for governor, U.S. Senate, and three of Iowa's four Congressional districts. #IAGov #IASen #IA01 #IA02 #IA03 www.lincolnsquare.media/cp/205659173

“Patriotism is loving your country (or state) all the time, and your government when it deserves it.” -Mark Twain

Pesticides drifted onto a school in Morton, IL. The farmer was fined $250K. @prairierivers.bsky.social backs a bill requiring notice before spraying near schools; it could have protected the kids AND the farmer. Farm Bureau, Corn Growers & Soy Assoc. should reconsider their opposition.

Ahead of America’s 250th anniversary,Trump wanted to erase any “disparaging” history in the national parks. We documented + visualized the vast scale of this unprecedented censorship campaign. Very proud of this months-long team effort for @us.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Choose your own adventure, Iowa edition: NYT/Siena poll has #IAGov race at Sand 48, Lahn 47 #IASen race at Hinson 48, Turek 46 www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Fox News poll has Sand leading Lahn 53-44 and Turek leading Hinson 50-46 www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

🚨 🌽 🚨 🌽: FOX NEWS POLLING SHOWS A DEMOCRAT LEADING IN IOWA! As it stands, Democrat Josh Turek has an early 4-point advantage over Republican Ashley Hinson: 50% vs. 46%. It’s an edge that’s within the poll’s margin of error. #IASEN www.foxnews.com/politics/fox...

Iowans are ready for change. We have a generational opportunity to flip Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat. Join us and push for change: Turek4Iowa.com

U.S. Department of Agriculture staffing cuts in 2025 have left county-level service offices understaffed, according to an analysis of federal data from the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition. via @iowacapitaldispatch.com

Iowa’s rural communities deserve someone who will actually fight for them in Washington. That’s exactly what I will do.

Chris Jones, a retired water scientist, is rewriting the political playbook in Iowa, taking on the state’s water and cancer crisis by challenging the power of Big Ag. barnraisingmedia.com/2026-electio...

If memory serves, Republicans and Donald Trump’s DOJ have investigated President Biden and his son, Democratic donations through Act Blue, multiple high profile plus their friends and families-and have zero convictions Funny how Mike Johnson is so nervous about Democrats investigating the GOP

Every time Putin was offered Ukr neutrality, he added more demands, walked away and continued his war of conquest. Enough of the NATO red herring already. It’s journalistic malpractice to keep bringing it up.

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

My only even kind of disagreement w/HB: personally I don’t want to be led. I want people who profoundly share my principles to be in the vanguard of the fight for our nation, our democracy. People who see that achieving our goals is how they remain relevant. Problems are to be solved

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

Same.

Dave Bradley on BFIA today addresses the problem of the passive Iowa press. Ask Some Damn Questions!

We can have "college and career readiness" and we can have diversity, equity, and inclusion, but we can't have CCR without DEI. There's not an academic, professional, or vocational field where these values aren't fundamental.

Juneteenth 2026 will mark the holiday’s sixth annual celebration since it became federally established in 2021. Here are some of the events scheduled June 18-20 in communities across Iowa. Story by Kadin Luhmann. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/06/17/j...

Just one point about this video. At about 6 minutes in, the question is asked if the chemical or fertilizer is safe is used according to label instructions. The farmer answer is "yes". But, It's quite common for these products to be used "off label." youtu.be/HtND1E712Os

Have they tried ivermectin?

Just saying: Donald Trump has lost 100% of the wars started since the renaming of the Department of War.

The wait is almost over… We are bringing together some of today’s most prominent voices and global icons to the Obama Presidential Center Grand Opening Ceremony. Livestream starts at 11 a.m. CT, Thursday, June 18—don’t miss it! obama.org/grandopening

Not a deal folks. CNN ought to know better. It is an MOU for a framework to begin a negotiation for a concept of a deal that is likely to never be achieved. Just like the Gaza "deal" was.

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

Standing ovation for Rep. Beatty, who sued Trump over the renaming of the Kennedy Center, took him to court, and won!

Social Security’s “insolvency” is a scam, not a crisis. Your money didn't vanish—it’s being starved by a system that lets the ultra-wealthy stop paying taxes while you pay on every dollar. Lift the cap, tax the rich, and secure our future. Demand what you earned. ✊

"myths about water use" www.kcrg.com/2026/05/11/c...

📌Wouldn’t it be great if we had a competent media that reminded everyone that Trump has lied tens of thousands of times since taking office, and repeatedly about his war in Iran? Seems the bare minimum they should be doing …

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

This is just endless insider trading at this point. bsky.app/profile/stev...

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media. A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children. Lets make this viral again 👇

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig says he will deal with rising cancer rates and polluted water by accelerating “voluntary conservation,” which hasn’t worked for decades, but maybe it will now. @theswinerepublic.bsky.social

And gas affects egg and housing and car. Hence why farmers are worried about fertilizer (and why I say Iowa is a sleeper state for Democrats this year).

Albania Tirana — protesters explain why they don’t want Trump and Kushner to privatize their land. Every day thousands of them hit the streets to make their voices heard.

This is the natural jewel Trump and Kushner wants to “purchase” and destroy in Albania.🇦🇱 100% with the Albanian people in their fight to save their littorals and wildlife from speculators.

Farmers are doing so well under Trump that Republicans have to continue to do multiple billion dollar bailouts to send them our money so they will continue to vote for the Republicans who keep screwing them over.
