Maybe the best tweet of the night
Austin Texas sounds like an Eastern European city that just overthrew a dictator

No idea??
US approves Qatar’s proposal for a deal with Iran, Al Arabiya reports The US has told Qatar’s mediator it approves the proposal, according to a senior source. Mediators are now waiting on Iran’s response.

IOWA WOMEN: ARE YOU REALLY READY FOR THE DARK AGES ON WOMEN’S RIGHTS TO CONTROL YOUR OWN BODY?!! Lahn believes in NO ABORTION EVER contrary to medical professionals and Iowa families, who do not want this man to interfere in their family tragedies!! Have you seen the Epstein files pictures of little girls who have a baby bump but no idea what is happening to them??!!! From incest and rape?? Who cannot survive?!! This is the dystopia that Zach Lahn would impose on Iowa!! Forget no business growth and OBGYN healthcare deserts now, Iowa would become a ghost town and last in every ranking!! WAKE UP IOWA!!

An amazing runner from Ireland and amazing person that could be any of use but has incredible courage as a legacy for us to never quit. Elections matter!!
"I keep seeing beautiful things and I can't help but wonder, will I have an opportunity to see them again?" Ciara Mageean speaking to RTÉ earlier this year. Such strength & bravery. #RIP

Good news if true.
BREAKING: A breakthrough has been reached between the United States and Iran, both sides have agreed to preliminary measures concerning Iran’s nuclear program, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and financial incentives for Tehran. China and Russia are set to be guarantors of the agreement, the Iranian delegation has flown to Doha alongside the Qatari mediators to continue negotiations later today, according to Qatari Al Araby Al Jadeed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The report of a confirmed US-Iran breakthrough and agreed measures relies on unverified claims from anonymous sources in one Qatari outlet; Axios and other diplomatic reporting describe ongoing mediation with positive progress but no confirmed agreement or direct talks. alaraby.co.uk/politics/%D8%A… axios.com/2026/10/31/qat… israel.com/news/qatari-pa…

Iowa families: THIS IS A REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM YEAR!! Every year since Dobbs asks us to think about what kind of Iowa we want to be. Little girls forced to do what they don’t understand?? Government interference in your personal tragedies?? Business losses while #49 from being the most extreme state on women’s healthcare as we face ONGYN healthcare deserts in rural Iowa. ELECTIONS MATTER. Please vote for an Iowa that’s for everyone. @RobSandIA ✅ROB SAND

If I win, both the far left and the far right will be disappointed with what I do with Iowa’s GOP legislature. It will be the return of common sense and compromise.

Beth failed us! She did not ask Zach Lahn to state his position on abortion and he didn’t!! He’s afraid that it will cost him votes and it would!! WAKE UP IOWA: LAHN IS HIDING HIS REAL AGENDA ON WHAT IOWA “CULTURE” OR “FOUNDATION” SHOULD BE!! And it’s not protecting little girls!! IT’S FORCING WOMEN TO GIVE BIRTH OF ANY AGE OR MEDICAL ABILITY!! And women would die.
Replying to @deplorable315
@KCRG and @BethMalicki: Zach Lahn would make Iowa THE most extreme on abortion to outlaw all abortion from conception with NO exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother! Children of any age would be forced to carry a rapist’s fetus whether medically able or not! Iowans must know!! Please include this question. Iowans do not want Lahn interfering in their healthcare and most believe the 6-week ban is too extreme.

With the AI revolution, the adverse effect on employment is starting to appear. Iowa must respond to this challenge and Rob Sand has already formed a task force on employment which will include AI! We can’t roll the dice on a Kansas fix when our kids future is on the line! @RobSandIA
GOLDMAN: “.. we are starting to see clearer signs that the AI impact is spreading beyond the technology sector. .. the share of US firms that have adopted AI in regular business functions now shows a statistically significant negative correlation with employment growth ..”

ASHLEY’S AT IT AGAIN: Does Ashley attack Turek fairly? Of course not! These fringe MAGA issues were contained in a broad education package and a broad Medicaid appropriations bill. Turek voted AGAINST funding cuts for the disabled on the Medicaid bill NOT TO FUND SEX CHANGE SURGERIES. Josh also voted AGAINST the broad education bill with all Dems who opposed censorship of books- a 12th grader can’t read The Catcher in the Rye, or Catch-22, or The Color purple? And they want to go to college prepared? The bill remains in federal litigation on this and its vague terms! The Iowa State Education Association challenged the law: share.google/j7Vh8921Owx7kgf… Ashley lies. EVERY TIME SHE POSTS OR SPEAKS. And Democrats believe in local educators and school boards. share.google/BPaKzNOxnDaghFE…
The only thing worse than a liberal…is a lying liberal. You voted to let kids secretly change their gender pronouns at school without telling their parents. (legis.iowa.gov/legislation/f…) You voted to allow taxpayer-funded Medicaid coverage of sex-change surgeries. (legis.iowa.gov/legislation/f…) And you couldn’t even be bothered to show up to vote to ban gender-transition surgeries for kids. (legis.iowa.gov/docs/publicat…) Josh — you lie like an East Coast Liberal and vote like one too.

朝鲜最新消息,全球知名媒体BBC、太阳报、联合报、路透社均开始批露朝鲜最高元首、劳动党总书记金正恩已故,临危授命、托孤于其亲妹金于正执掌朝鲜政局辅助其女金主爱,金于正近年来深受金正恩信任,在朝鲜党内、军中已然成为仅次于金正恩的第二号人物,向来以“果断、狠辣、雷霆手段”著称,所以接下来金家王朝是否陷入“权利争夺”未能可知,但外界普遍认为金于正的狠辣手段青出于蓝而胜于蓝,比金正恩更恐怖,朝鲜接下来可能陷入更黑暗的“恐怖时代”。

该帖声称BBC、太阳报、联合报、路透社等媒体已披露金正恩已故并详述继任安排,但这些媒体仅报道了源自社交媒体的未经证实谣言。南韩国家情报院评估谣言为假,北韩官媒已发布照片显示金正恩出席近期活动。 bbc.com/news/articles/… udn.com/news/story/680… koreatimes.co.kr/foreignaffairs… en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN202610… thesun.co.uk/news/40742934/…

IMAGINE IF YOU HAD CARED 6 YEARS AGO?? IOWANS MIGHT HAVE BEEN ALIVE NOW. Instead Ashley Hinson and Chuck Grassley voted repeatedly to gut NIH funding for cancer research and to remove Iowans from health insurance!! We know who you both are! ✅TUREK ✅ANYONE BUT A GRASSLEY
It’s unacceptable that Iowa has the second highest rate of cancer in the country. Senator @GrassleyWorks and I are leading a bipartisan effort to improve access to screenings. Read more ⬇️

FINDING: “[T]he State of Iowa as the No. 1 state in the country for insufficient staffing citations” in assisted living facilities. Thank you Shawn. This is outrageous! We had a glimpse of how @IAGovernor cared for our senior and disabled communities during COVID: Too many died needlessly. These workers must be trained and paid wages to remain employed to assist our family members!

BREAKING: Rita Martens, Ashley Hinson’s high school English teacher, just published a STUNNING letter detailing why she can no longer support her. Ashley Hinson turned her back on Iowans and hurt farmers when she backed Trump’s tariffs. She left her own constituents behind for clout.

YOU DID THIS TRAITOR!! @realDonaldTrump
A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well. ​An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children. ​6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against MAGA. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy, against Trump.
