Jd Vance will go down in history as the only VP that used the situation room to cover up his bosses involvement in a sex trafficking pedophile ring đź‘Ť

When you’re so sensitive that you’re triggered by the weather forecast
This event is about celebrating America’s unmatched greatness after 250 years — which apparently doesn’t sit well with the friendless loser who wrote this bullshit clickbait headline.
Rain or shine, we’re celebrating our great country no matter what. GOD BLESS AMERICA! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate a president who led with grace, spoke with intelligence, and treated the office with the dignity it deserves. Whatever your politics, Barack Obama showed us what steady, hopeful leadership looks like. Happy Obama Appreciation Day.
What is your best memory of him?

Who is paying the estimated $700,000 to repair the White House lawn after this trashy, classless event, @senategop?
"The dichotomy at tonight's UFC event will be stark: a guy who lied, cheated, and stole his way through life, watching fighters who could only get to that octagon because they worked for it. There’s no shortcut through a fight.
Trump's big walk-out will be from the Oval Office to the Octagon. Twenty feet, maybe thirty. I wouldn’t put money on him making it in a straight line. He’ll bask in the spotlight of an event paid for in sweat and blood that isn’t his, on a lawn that, by the league’s own estimate, will cost $700,000 to repair afterward-- money that also isn't his.
A bigger man might draw a lesson from that about what it actually looks like to work for something. He’s not that. His whole legacy will be having lied to his voters that he’d help them, when the only people he’s ever looked out for are the ones in his own family."

WHO approved the use of more than $60 MILLION taxpayer dollars for this corrupt debacle on public property, @SenateGOP, @ChuckGrassley, @ZachNunn, @RepMMM, @RepFeenstra, and @AshleyHinson?
Congress controls the taxpayer's purse. Where did Trump steal the money from?

Trump’s White House UFC fight this weekend has required more than seven federal agencies, hundreds of staff working onsite daily and at least $60 million, according to a legal filing.
Quite a use of government resources for fight night. 🤔

You have no idea what energized looks like but you’re gonna find out in November! People of this state have had enough of you and the Republican Party! There’s a blue wave coming to Iowa!

Remember Iowans, not a single Iowa Republican has the balls to speak up when Trump threatens nuclear war.
@NunnForCongress @RepAshleyHinson @RepFeenstra and @RepMMM are cowards and don’t represent Iowans.

Couple things:
1. If the terms of the Iran deal being floated are accurate, it’s a complete US surrender and a total embarrassment.
2. Trump casually threatening to nuke Iran if the deal doesn’t go through is fucking insane.

Thanks to @realDonaldTrump and Elon Musk’s failed DOGE debacle, the research and help to stop the spread of AIDS is failing.
People are dying.
A vote for ANY Republican is a vote for cruelty, injustice, and suffering.
Decades of advances in the global fight to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS are in peril amid wide-scale cuts to prevention programs, according to a United Nations report. wapo.st/4oodZiR

Another reminder that Iowa Republican @zachnunn supports, shields, and votes with a man who constantly lies to the American people.
Nunn has poor character, a total lack of ethics, no morals, and should never serve in an elected position again.

Trump has lied about a potential Iran deal over 38 times.
38 lies, 100 days, and $29 BILLION in taxpayer dollars later... there is still no deal, no strategy, and no end in sight to this illegal war.

❌ Gave polluters a free pass on Iowa water quality.
❌ Voted to send your tax dollars to private schools.
❌ Pocketed thousands from a CCP-owned ag giant buying up Iowa farmland.

As the only Meteorologist elected to Congress, I am compelled to advise everyone to stay home.
Thunderstorms are currently forecasted for Trump’s birthday in Washington, DC this Sunday when the UFC fight is set to take place on the White House lawn.

Here's one of the biggest lies folks tell about private school voucher scams.
First, standardized tests measure the quality of education a child receives.
Wrong.
Standardized tests are designed so that a portion of students fail and a portion excel. It's a Bell Curve.
Wrong. I love the fact my tax dollars follow my child! Public schools are the problem, not the vouchers. The bigger budget for public schools only resulted in lower test scores. There is no ROI there and parents finally see through that facade.

Second, standardized tests are NOT 100% aligned with the school curriculum.
It's unfair, and helps to CAUSE a portion of students to fail, when a test contains subject question of which a child hasn't had the opportunity to learn.

And finally, standardized tests measure a WHOLE realm of social/cultural/personal experiences a student has.
If you've never been to the opera, do you know what an aria or libretto is? If you've never been in a car with a stick shift, do you know what shifting a car means?

MAGA @ZachNunn couldn't be bothered to attend the Iowa Republican Convention today.
He wants to "represent" Iowans in Congress but doesn't find it important to meet with the people he wants to vote for him.
A reminder - Nunn has never held a public town hall meeting. Never.

Thank you to my great friend Rep. Bill Gustoff for stepping up and speaking on my behalf at the State Convention today.
As Bill said, we’re going to bring the same fight, focus, and results we delivered in 2022 and 2024 to win IA-03 and keep building a safer, stronger, more prosperous future for every hardworking Iowa family. 🇺🇸
