Non-masked MN National Guard are out handing out hot chocolate, coffee and donuts to protesters. One simple act has de-escalated the situation and helped gain the trust of people. See the difference between professional soldiers and the pretend tough guys in CBP and ICE?

Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show. FP: That’s not true AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

by @robertleonard.bsky.social "I was on the Pella square maybe half an hour before the event started, and once a few people had gathered, I noticed people trickling in from all corners of the square, walking quickly toward the rest of us, scurrying, as they were in FOMO (fear of missing out)"

Great coverage by Robert Leonard. Good size #nokings event in a conservative area in Marion county, #iowa

No Kings rally in conservative Pella, Iowa. #nokings

by @robertleonard.bsky.social "Clearly, this is a coordinated disinformation campaign by Republican leadership that works hand in hand with the continuing Trump disinformation dump that our Democratic led cities are hellscapes. Many media sources point to Stephen Miller as the architect"

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Yummy...

The lives of two young women working at a strip club in western Iowa.

My first draft of the #MAGA Pledge of Allegiance: "I pledge allegiance to Donald Trump, President of the United States of America, our Savior and Future King for Eternity, one White Christian Nation under Trump, Indivisible under his Iron Fist, with Liberty and Profits for Whoever He Deems Worthy."

While MAGA mourns the reprehensible assassination of Charlie Kirk, I mourn the loss of the lives of hundreds of thousands of children around the world who are dying at the hands of Donald Trump. He and Republicans in Congress have blood on their hands.

People have been glossing over this statement by Brendan Carr He’s not satisfied with forcing Jimmy Kimmel out He’s going after anyone who criticizes Dear Leader

Patriots and freedom fighters to gather in Marion County, Iowa, on Sunday.

Just to be clear: Brian Kilmeade *did not* endorse euthanizing homeless people. He advocated MURDERING over 700,000 of them. And on a network that has been *beside itself* over the murder of just one man this week.

I also didn’t hear outrage when Mike Johnson decided to clock out early, saying Congress wasn’t in session because he didn’t want to vote on releasing the Epstein files. If you’re going to blast people for bailing on their jobs, at least be equal opportunity about it.

200 workers at the JBS plant in Ottumwa lost their legal status. I was there Thursday with Democratic candidate for Iowa Senate Nathan Sage (@sageforiowa). In 2020, they were essential workers; now, Trump and @SenJoniErnst want them deported. Here's what JBS says about their value.

Let's help Democratic Senate candidate Nathan Sage beat MAGA Joni Ernst. Any help would be appreciated. secure.actblue.com/donate/teams...

A radical Christian just murdered the speaker of a state house but the real worry is the theocratic muslim who said the bus should be cheaper

This shit is, as Kant observes, fucking barbaric on its own terms. It's also another assault against the nonprofit partners we work with – and so many of our residents depend upon – every day.

Please join us! You will love it and will make some new forever friends.

by @robertleonard.bsky.social 1/2 "So why did it take the event in Parkersburg for people to call out Ernst for the MAGA policies that are killing people? Perhaps it’s simply because it was at home and Ernst was in the room. Ernst gave the people a platform, & they used it. Iowans, & particularly..

One day. Four town halls. How do we beat Joni Ernst? By taking our working-class movement to every corner of Iowa. Fight for every county. Fight for EVERY vote!

Iowa has a new Democratic candidate for governor.

by @robertleonard.bsky.social 1/2 "This poll suggests that people like—no love—the idea of Nathan Sage. As they get to know him, his popularity will only increase. People love what he has to say at his campaign stops and how he says it, as the columns by Tom Barton and Trish Nelson suggest..
