Brian Fitzpatrick is running a deceptive campaign based on dubious blog posts from a man who claims "Every Democrat female is a sexual assault survivor, especially the morning after, when the guy hasn't fallen in love with her" and "Obama is a pure Muslim.” bit.ly/4hLzBTu

NEW: "Of all the states that could give us an indication of how big the blue wave will be this cycle, Iowa is one of the most intriguing…The state is a petri dish for Trump’s toxicity."

"The generation of young people coming up on the right are not your father’s conservatives. They are Trump’s heirs, and they are here to stay. And if we want to save America from MAGA authoritarianism…It’s going to mean tackling this entire movement."

"Longwell's signature research tool is the focus group…She fell in love with the focus-group process, likening it to 'a tiny window into the soul of America' and labelling it 'a cheat code for understanding politics.'"

"Haley Stevens's and Abdul El-Sayed's campaigns are different in ways that are pitting Democratic voters' heads against their hearts. With polls showing El-Sayed leading by double digits, I wonder if the heart is pulling away."
