Joni and company give hookers a bad name. We are hitting bottom. No more cable tv news. Canceled NYT and Post. TPM and Morning Memo, Slate, ProPublica, HCR for news. Girding myself with good friends, humor, and cooking. Thank you for the updates.

Ernst was getting barraged by the MAGA set, including fellow Iowans, and if Elno Musk weighs in on financing "primarying", she will collapse like cooked spaghetti. Ernst let herself get too far outside anonymity of opposition, and she's paying for it.

She must not think her soul is worth much since she seems willing to sell it to stay in the Senate….

Come on. If the GOP has no problem with Trump inciting J6, there’s going to be a pushback against anything he might try? Specially with his support from SCOTUS? Seriously?

Please.

Why do you keep citing the NYT, David, when a likely majority of your readers have canceled their subscriptions? Click on your link and up pops an extortion attempt to get the reader to resubscribe for the privilege of reading said article.

Some substacks type a $ near such links.

Are some of the GOP senators growing a spine? Or is it merely the backwards evolution to a vestigial tail? I think the latter.

Power, prestige, and free trips are too good to give up for the spineless wonders of the Republican Senate. John Cornyn said he likes Kash Patel. Chuck Grassley wrote Chris Wray and told him to resign. All in fealty to trump.

There's no hope for normalcy.

If you have been a good servant to the community, who elected you, there is no need to worry about being primaried. Using that as an excuse to support this apparently compulsive drinker, sexual abuser, and, ,incompetent officer of a nonprofit, is unacceptable. Joni needs to grow a pair!

I called Sen Ernst’s office to voice my wish that she absolutely oppose Hegseth’s nomination. Her staff is counting the calls.

Can’t even comment on the other crazy stuff in your newsletter. These folks have lost their minds if they ever had one.
