Opinion | This Iowan’s raw anger could make him the new anti-Trump Nathan Sage is running against Republican Sen. Joni Ernst with a tone we usually hear from MAGA.

“There’s a war at home and we’re losing. Unions under attack. Farmers f---ed over.” he says in the video. “Only 2% of Congress come from the working class. We built the damn table. It’s time we had a seat at it.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Opinion | Is Nathan Sage the new anti-Trump voice of the Democratic Party? The Iowan veteran is running against Republican Sen. Joni Ernst with a tone we usually hear from MAGA.

“I live in the real world. This is how we talk,” Nathan Sage told me. “I’m going to say the things that need to be said so people understand that we’re tired of what’s going on. We’re going to fight for what we believe in.”

A reminder from FDR…

Airliners abort landings as Army helicopter makes ‘scenic’ loop around Pentagon The Black Hawk was trying to land at the Pentagon’s heliport, bringing it close to a pair of airliners, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Two airliners abandoned landing attempts at Washington’s Reagan National Airport on Thursday afternoon when an Army Black Hawk took a “scenic route” near the flight path and circled the Pentagon before landing at a military heliport.

Seen on the way to dinner…
