Here’s who Iowa’s current Republican governor and prospective Republican governor are following on X:
Scott Brammer
@the-basement.bsky.social
Formerly Kim Reynolds’ Secret Meeting Basement on Russian Twitter.
Meanwhile, current and proposed federal corporate ownership under Trump’s GOP. MP Materials, Intel, U.S. Steel, Trilogy Metals, Lithium Americas, Westinghouse, Vulcan Elements, ReElement Technologies, Korea Zinc/Crucible Metals, Xlight, L3Harris/Missile Solutions, Atlantic Alumina Company…
They lied about the whole thing and now admit the contractor screwed up the Reflecting Pool installation. And because they were in a rush to indict to please Trump, they presented false evidence to a grand jury. meidasnews.com/news/doj-see...

Jeanine Pirro should be disbarred. It is absolutely indefensible and gross misconduct to rush through a criminal indictment for political reasons before an investigation has been completed, which resulted in false evidence being presented to a grand jury.
BREAKING: Pirro has dismissed the case against Davey Hearn for vandalizing the reflecting pool, saying that there's no way vandals could have caused the damage.

Republican Iowa/Kansas gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn has a certain gravity that seems to attract the “Hitler was not such a bad guy” crowd, and he strangely appears willing to accept that association.
The commodification of human suffering is coming to Iowa courtesy of the Iowa GOP. The Iowa Dept of Corrections needs to build 3 prisons for the new “3 strikes law.” The state can’t staff its existing facilities. Which Trump donor gets the upcoming contracts for the private prisons?
Iowa Republicans just voted for a Kansan to run the state.🤣🤣🤣

Because of the daily chaos, corruption, and treason of the Trump administration, stories like this get buried in national news: “Seven dead in Muscatine, Iowa, shooting tied to a domestic dispute.”
Ballrooms above. Bunkers below. Rockets for me, chains for you.
The only surprise here is that it took this long.
We have *never* before seen consumer sentiment this low.
Kevin Warsh: "As you demonstrate, Mr. President, every day, energy and purpose are how big obstacles are overcome. Your greatest ambitions are for America."
Memorial Day food staple prices are up an average of 13%. Americans will spend $2B more on gas over the holiday weekend due to the highest gas prices in nearly four years. Domestic plane tickets are 31% more expensive than in January. Welcome to Trump’s “New Golden Age.”
Trump has made more money off the presidency than every other president has combined in the last 230+ years.
You can take all the corruption from every single US administration in history, add it all together, and it will not equal the amount of corruption committed by the Trump Regime in less than two years.
SCOOP: Bureau of Prisons has up to 120,000 pages of documents on Ghislaine Maxwell's transfer to a cushy minimum-security prison camp (yoga! puppies!). That's what it told us in response to a FOIA lawsuit. But no telling if/when any will be released. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Trump admin. has up to 120,000 pages of documents on Ghislaine Maxwell’s prison transfer
The bad news: It won't tell us when our FOIA request for these records will be fulfilled.

Shapiro should volunteer to go out with a roofing crew in FL this July to help them out for a few days to get an introduction to reality. Or work the overnight shift in a hospital emergency room. Or teach 8th graders.
“Any challenge to abortion access in the United States by the anti-choice movement is designed to instill fear, confusion, and chaos.” Abortion providers are racing to stay ahead of the courts.

Kevin Warsh was just confirmed as next Fed chair. The only problem is we don't know which Kevin Warsh... The inflation hawk of 2006-2011? The sock puppet who doesn't know won the 2020 election? A public servant ready to grow into the job and lead? Someone else? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Complete BS as usual from Vance. Trump and Vance refuse to acknowledge what people are dealing with right now and refuse to admit that they are actively causing it with the war and tariffs. “But Biden” is all they got 16 months in.

“The best-case scenario is that Grassley is so far past his prime, he is clueless as to what he’s doing…worst-case scenario is that Grassley and others are intentionally trying to harm federal agents who dared to investigate criminal activity…to implicate a political ally…”
