"due to their exhaustion with people like you" @ddKochel 100% nailed it. Enough of the BS conspiracy crap. The national GOP needs to get back to talking about real issues. Retire the Kari Lakes of the party. Speaking as an Iowan who is a former Arizonan.
Stop peddling this bullshit. The reason the country rejected Republicans is in part due to their exhaustion with people like you. The economy was the main driver but the drama and grift and chaos of performative MAGA was also rejected in whole.

Joni is 100% correct on this. Putin is not the good guy. He's the aggressor. Period.
Vladimir Putin is not our friend, and he is certainly no humanitarian. His relentless attacks on innocent civilians in Ukraine show his total disregard for human life. Appeasement won't end this war. Pressure will.

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

Every Republican running for office in November should be asked if they agree with Trump’s envoy that Putin is a “humanitarian” and what they plan to DO to stop Trump from continuing to support Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Steve Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you, and I thank you.” Sickening!

Just yesterday, Trump's rep Witkoff called Putin a "humanitarian." Disgusting. There is ONE aggressor in this war. ONE. And it's Russia.

“Keeping him at Arizona means more than just sports.” Tommy Lloyd must stay. By any means necessary, says Ali.

A reporter asked Tommy Lloyd about moving around the venue for the Big 12 tournament after Lloyd was critical of the fan involvement/atmosphere during today's game against UCF. Of course, not as many Arizona fans go to Kansas City as they did to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 tournament. "I want to talk about the ball game. ... 100% would I want this in Vegas? Yeah, 100% I would. But you know what? I didn't ask to be in the Big 12. We got put in the Big 12. I didn't have any input on it, but I love being in the Big 12. So if they tell me we're playing in Kansas City, we're loading up the plane and going to Kansas City. We're not going to sit there and overthink it. You guys (reporters) can do all that stuff, or you can have another coach give you opinions on what he would want. I just want to get on the floor and try to kick ass and play 40 minutes. That's it."

Shout-out to my ISU friends. Our players rate their matchups against the Cyclones as their favorites.
Tobe Awaka says his favorite game at McKale was last year against Iowa State. ADO says both Iowa State games. Jaden Bradley says Iowa State last year.

💯. If it's good for some, it's good for all.

Thanks for your work, @RepThomasMassie ! @SpeakerJohnson is the worst Republican Speaker of my lifetime. So many great leaders have filled that role, and now we have this spineless moron.
.@RepRoKhanna and I achieved a 427 to 1 vote in the House and a 100 to 0 vote in the Senate using a “discharge petition,” which allows the House to function when the Speaker blocks progress. Now @SpeakerJohnson wants to eliminate the discharge petition, but we won’t let him.

Release all the Epstein files.
Charlie Kirk: "The DOJ should immediately move to unseal all the Epstein...Every file should be released to the public." Megyn Kelly: "Put them all out there. Because if there's nothing in there, then we can see there's nothing in there."

Bingo. 🎯🎯
If you're celebrating the killing of Charlie Kirk, you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency. If you're using the killing of Charlie Kirk to attack certain groups of people & to declare “war on the left,” you've failed basic love of country & basic human decency.

President Trump had an opportunity to unite the country yesterday. I was on @KTAR923 with former congressman Matt Salmon, and we agreed that Trump and Congress could stand united and tell the country it's time to bring the rhetoric down. It's ok to disagree but there is no need to be personal and call anyone evil and other dehumanizing names. We are all Americans and neighbors. We can disagree but we shouldn't hate each other. Instead, Trump gave the worst post tragedy speech I have ever heard from a President. He blamed all political violence on what he called the "radical left" and ignored violence from the right as if it doesn't exist. Another opportunity for Trump to show leadership and be a transcendent President, and instead he immediately did what he always does. Lash out, blame others and create division. We don't even have the killer in custody yet. This could have been a post 911 opportunity to unite. Such an opportunity lost.

Makes me sad that elected members of my party engage in misinformation like this. A US Congressman should not need to be told that Twitter didn't exist in 1986.
This is extremely troubling.

Everyone says they’d pay more for “Made in the USA.” I tested it. We make a $129 filtered showerhead manufactured in China. With tariffs surging to 170%, we explored reshoring. We found a U.S. supplier. Our costs nearly tripled. I ran a clean A/B test: 👇
