🚨 Iowa Senate candidate Josh Turek calls out Republican Ashley Hinson over asking supporters for gas money for her $400,000 campaign bus amid rising costs due to Trump's Iran war.

“I'm just in a small car just driving around Iowa.”

"Even though she is the one that voted seven times to continue this war in Iran, [she's] just gone out there and said, ‘Can you help us out with some gas money?’”

“That is a Marie Antoinette level of ‘let them eat cake’ disconnect.”

WATCH: “The solution is YOU END THE WAR— J.D. Vance and every Trump official talks about the war is if it happened through forces of nature, and they didn’t consciously make the decision to go to war and raise our gas prices on purpose.” ⛽️

Health insurance is the only subscription service where you pay hundreds of dollars a month and still have to ask permission to use it.

Growing body of evidence demonstrates that Trump was an active participant in Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women and "DOJ and FBI are doing everything they can to keep the American people in the dark about it." - House Judiciary Democrats democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

A federal judge ruled that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's practice of knocking on doors and asking people about their immigration status — and whether they have voted in recent elections — violates the Voting Rights Act.

Trump sets the stage to interfere in Minnesota's elections: "Let's all get behind Michele Tafoya in Minnesota. She's running a great race. Don't allow them to play with the Votes after the race is over. The Federal Government will be watching closely. The only way she can lose is if they cheat by playing games with the Ballots as they come in. We can't allow that to happen, because I won Minnesota three times, but they didn't give me the Victories ... "

One thing people are missing from the new Jim Comey charges.

They came 2 days after Aakash Singh was promoted to PADAG.

Comey has been arguing that Trump keeps hiring people for the primary purpose to prosecute him, and this is consistent with that.

Trent McCotter and Aakash Sing...

Depending on how you count, the charges Trump has filed against Comey have been declined 5X:

Lying abt leaking to Richman: Declined in 2019, EDVA declined, then Halligan charged
8647: USSS declined to charge, then charged in EDNC
Yahoo: declined by John Durham 2017, then again by Barr in 2020

Nobody wants to look back at this election and regret not doing more.

We can’t afford to take anything for granted with the midterms while Trump threatens to sabotage them.
