‘14 Under 14’ awards amplifies voices of ‘remarkable kids’ in Cedar Rapids

An 80-20 issue??

Wahls’ fault for not uniting the party behind Turek

No Kaufmann definitely wants Wahls to be the nominee

I would put the part about them breaking the law in the graphic. Normal person could be late something, but that‘s not illegal.

Hits keep coming in the #IASen race

Here’s the thing for Zach Wahls: if everyone is uniting against you, there should be a clear story as to why. Maybe they’re afraid of your policy on Gaza, or on universal healthcare, or on taxing billionaires out of existence.. so why here?

Also this person does not sound like a leader to me

I just got the sense people didn’t like him, but given the cover ups at higher levels this kind of stuff takes on a more urgent tone

They are breaking the law?

Kinda like an Epstein thing? You think Zach Wahls knows his supporters are unsavory but paraded the endorsement anyway? Could be damning.

Included the Teamsters quote about Wahls for equal time

Another example of inauthenticity from Wahls? As Laura also covered on the show, Nathan Sage had some very tough criticisms of Wahls to the Gazette.

I can’t really think of any left wing candidates who ran in statewide primaries. And this statement is about to get a giant Chris Jones-sized data point in its favor in a few months.

Team Wahls has discovered what anyone paying attention knew 6 months ago: if any candidate is seen as the clear cut most credible left wing candidate in this primary, they will win.

We are on track for a comprehensive victory over Zach Wahls in the primary #IASen

Obviously a dollar saved is a dollar earned so the small savings are great, but I also think there is an appetite for larger administrative reforms if Sand is bold enough to pursue them. Maybe a second term project.

The real major league sports move for Iowa is to use the state budget surplus to purchase a WNBA franchise and pay Caitlin Clark to star there for the next decade.

You have to have some compelling narrative, but Sage’s Angry Populist tone was undermined by his seeming goofiness.

Say uninspiring instead

Yeah he really blew it. Had early momentum but never made much of any impact despite bad weak competition. Too cute to try to do the Osborn independent act but as a Democrat. Flawed premise for a campaign.

So if you’re able to, you can essentially buy statewide office, but otherwise basically impossible

Wasn’t a problem for Rob Sand in 2018

No one stands stronger for the rights of unscrupulous “producers” to pollute Iowa’s water than Ashley Hinson

Hello @justicedemocrats.com i think we can win a three way primary in Iowa for Senate if someone had an inkling to throw some interest behind a last minute campaign

Still time for a Justice Democrats style campaign to seize left wing momentum in this race

Seems to me like Wahls’ big money has kept out any real energy in this race, which is a shame because look at the state of the country

Still time for @zachwahls.bsky.social to drop out

yeah it’s enough for me to just imagine Steve holt in that situation without resorting to AI to produce a video
