Iowa Caucus replay: The biggest moments, the drama of the early race call and scenes around Iowa

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has snatched second place in Iowa's caucuses, edging former UN ambassador Nikki Haley into third in a Republican contest dominated by Donald Trump.

A friend tells me that at her caucus location last night, the spokesperson for Trump told caucus goers that Trump won three Nobel Peace Prizes while president.

That’s what we’re dealing with, folks. - Heath Mayo

Apparently, Sex Trafficking Requires A Lot Of Passports
In June 2011, the U.S. Department of State received an urgent request from an American businessman who sought a second U.S passport for impending trips to Europe and multiple African nations...The businessman's name: Jeffrey Edward Epstein.

Three years earlier, Epstein had pleaded guilty in Florida to solicitation of an underaged girl, a felony that required him to register as a sex offender for life.

They've lost their collective humanity. - John Pavlovitz

I Hope They Tell Him: GFY

Elon Musk says he wants a significantly larger stake in Tesla than the one that already made him the richest person on the planet.

In a series of posts on X Monday night, Musk said that he would not want to grow Tesla to become a leader in artificial intelligence and robotics without a compensation plan that would give him ownership of around 25% of the company’s stock. That would be about double the roughly 13% stake he currently owns.
