Of course the conservative rural mom of the one was concerned for their safety.

Little does she know the her son's jokes about moving to Chicago have taken on a more serious tone as they all hate what the GOP is doing to Iowa and really want to move...despite most of them being born and raised in the state

....and despite all the feces from the gangs of illegal immigrant rats.

What is the GOP doing to Iowa?

I don’t follow Iowa politics, so I’m curious what they’re doing that is driving people from the state.

General Motors said on Tuesday that its profit in the second quarter fell by more than a third, after President Trump’s tariffs cost the company more than $1 billion.

G.M. was the second automaker in as many days to show the toll that the Trump administration’s trade policies are taking on the industry. Stellantis, the maker of Chrysler, Jeep and Ram vehicles, said on Monday that it lost 2.3 billion euros ($2.7 billion) in the first half of the year because of tariffs and other Republican policies.

G.M.’s profit for the quarter was $1.9 billion, the company said, down from $2.9 billion in the same quarter last year. Sales fell 2 percent, to $47 billion.

Wow. Head of FEMA’s Urban Search & Rescue System resigns. I was their attorney for years…

no better group of people you will ever meet. These are some of the best firefighters and rescue techs in the world. US&R, their communications teams and their relatively small logistics stockpiles and teams are the only actual response assets for FEMA. The US&R system is run similar to the national guard as for disasters in their own state they belong to their own governor. So the two texas teams (plus their state only teams) wouldn’t have been impacted) but tells me that they had requests from TX Emergency Management leader Nim Kidd for neighboring teams from Colorado and Missouri and Noem sat on them. I don’t care what party you belong to, that’s unacceptable as an American.

Fred Endrikat is a friend and led the US&R program for around 15 years before retiring a couple years ago. Dude is AMAZING and maybe the best person I ever met.

Wouldn’t it be easier to just say he did something stupid as an 18 year old? Instead of digging in and trying to redefine the term African American?

When my mom applied to UI she checked the box for Native American. She had never heard the term and thought it meant she was from America. It was dumb and she corrected it and it’s now a funny story.

I would guess that Zohran was more familiar with the term African American than my mom was with Native American in the 70s, but it seems so much easier to just say he did something stupid.

It’d be easier to not weaponize bad faith shit in the first place. *

NY Post reporter talks to Fox News Reporter about Mamdani going to Uganda video

They mentioned and played the clip and discussed it lightheartedly and then the NY Post reporter discussed his appeal to young people albeit from a more oppositional pov?

Maybe I was expecting something more from the clip, but that mostly seemed completely fair especially for Fox?

Are they not supposed to discuss the mayoral election in NY at all?

His entire campaign is premised on getting exposure through his social media channels

they barely touched on the substance of his policy positions (maybe we shouldn't expect that anymore from media) and gave his bit exposure, as you say in a light hearted way. If he was such a threat to future of NYC (which I don't believe even though I don't agree with some of his publicized policy positions), they surely downplayed that.

He's basically the presumptive mayor of NYC. He's not really fighting an uphill battle here

He's the heavy favorite. Anything he does will receive massive attention. He's moved way past the need to get exposure.

I dunno but to me the linked bluesky account seems dumb. I was expecting much more of Fox and the NY Post going off on him visiting Uganda than "enjoy your vacation."

I still think he's not going to finish four years, and obviously Congress won't have the courage to get rid of him, and neither will his cabinet, so that means he either has to die, or he needs to get so sick of the job that he just quits.

I don't really see an off ramp...and even if the Democrats retake the house, who cares. He's going to continue to do whatever he likes if his opposition is, at best, a divided congress.

People don't like his immigration policies because they think he's gone too far.

He's caused extreme instability in the economy with his all over the place reckless tariff policies.

He hasn't ended war in either Israel or Ukraine and Israel is now in two wars, not one.

He's added trillions of dollars to the national deficit through his big bullshit bill.

He brought in a billionaire immigrant oligarch that no one voted for to wage a war against the federal government that by all intents and purposes was a complete disaster.

But even if they do, there is not going to be a breaking point with his base. The news they watch/read will convince them that it’s not actually happening or that it’s someone else’s fault.

is absolutely unsustainable to continue for four years. I acknowledge that I have no idea how the fever breaks as the normal checks and balances that would usually be in place currently do not exist. He has a complicit lickspittle legislature and judiciary.
