Look I’m no Klobuchar fan but this is so upper Midwest coded and I love that
holy shit -- turns out Jack Smith went to a Hawkeyes game in Maryland but Schmitt's team is so reckless they concocted a conspiracy theory that Smith was actually in Atlanta seeing a Hawks game and colluding with Fani Willis. Klobuchar points out to Schmitt, "you have your teams wrong."

Men folk er forskjellige, smaken like så, men "Midnights" er mitt nest mest spilte album i løpet av de siste 22 årene, med nesten 11 000 avspillinger (kun slått av Chappell Roans "The Rise and Fall of the Midwest Princess" med over 13 000 avspillinger). "Showgirl" på sin side har bare 2,5k. :P

All the Midwest farmers who voted for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024—which is the majority—are the architects of their own destruction. They allowed Fox News and Facebook propaganda, racism, and bigotry to persuade them to vote against their own self-interest and that of our nation.

2/6 — The most powerful military in human history runs on parts made by a guy named Gary in a barn in the Midwest. Not a precision machine shop — a barn. Ball screws, the parts that turn rotation into precise linear motion in missiles and subs, are made by about eight companies.
