Turek’s problem isn’t just moving right on immigration and trans healthcare. It’s paying to shout it instead of hammering Trump and Hinson on affordability, tariffs and the war in Iran.
Hardworking Iowans need something to fight FOR. Republican Lite isn’t a reason to vote.

A centrist who stands for nothing but is nevertheless accused of being a radical commie vs a lying dipshit aligned with white nationalists and neo-Nazi social media trolls. I think we've already arrived in this future.
Is the Iowa governor's race the future of American politics? slate.com/news-and-politics/…

Yeah, no, this goes above and beyond “Democrat running in a Red State” and into the Joe Manchin “center-right Republican running as a Democrat” zone.
New: Iowa Democrat Josh Turek is running a radical Senate campaign ... to the center
- Opposes impeachment
- Supports Laken Riley Act
- Criticizes Dems for blocking Husted data center bill and farm bill
- Ticks off all the ways he can work with Trump
“Politically, the term moderate can be pejorative. And I say that I’m proudly a moderate," he says in an interview.
His opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson, says Turek is "going to be voting with Chuck Schumer 100% of the time." But she too is running toward the center, distancing herself from Trump on Iran, Russia and Vivek ad
Turek: Hinson’s “masquerading. I mean that’s a problem for me. I’m genuinely a bipartisan person,” he added. “She has been partisan. … Just be who you are.”
On the throwback race in Iowa, where “They expect us to represent Iowa interests and not just the interests of whoever’s president of the United States," according to Chuck Grassley -->

Y'all don't understand how much damage us trans folks have tanked for almost everyone else the last like 4 years. It's been us and immigrants just taking the full blast of the culture war every day.
And now you call us selfish for asking for the same rights we had 2 years ago?

Adam Hamilton on transgender rights:
“I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself.”
“I’m gonna love the trans person as well as the straight person, male or female. We have to do better than picking on small groups. What’s happened is we’ve turned a group of people into a campaign issue because it polls well.”

People in the replies rolling their eyes about this because he wrote Infinite Jest, I suspect, haven’t actually read it. It’s actually a very easy read. The grammar isn’t why it’s challenging to get through.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…

(Jimmy Rogers signed a six-year contract with Washington State in Dec. 2024 and was announced as Iowa State's head coach less than a year later.)
Worth two minutes of your time to hear Jimmy Rogers lay bare one of the main ills facing big-time college sports and the athletes themselves.
Iowa State Daily's @henry_annen asked Rogers what he needs from new AD Jared Benko to elevate Iowa State football.
Good stuff.

This is not healthy, nor should it be considered a badge of honor. Colorado State has given up 222 points over its last 4 games. Perhaps taking a step back every so often would be more helpful than this strategy.

Man … if you think someone who would endorse a rabid, unapologetic racist like Bo French would also support legislation that would help athletes in revenue-producing sports, then you are beyond help.

my opponent didn't wanna cover the real issues like gas prices so I accused her of lying about being raped at the age of 12 is an insane way to close out a failing campaign.

Important to remember that all of these polls are fake because retired pollster Ann Selzer got the Iowa presidential election wrong once in 2024

The public is expected to constantly bail out row crop agriculture.
Meanwhile the public is told that we cannot demand anything back from our investment--no pollution reduction, no wetlands protections, no soil conservation, no crop diversification.
Just hand over the money.
