Yesterday, my campaign shattered an all-time fundraising record in Iowa: in 24 hours we raised over $276,000, the most any federal candidate has ever raised in their first day. When we win next November, it’ll be because of historic moments like this. #IowaStrong #Bomentum

President Biden’s war on energy is hurting middle America.

His radical green agenda is unaffordable, unsustainable, and unrealistic. https://t.co/LGVamluD6f

GOP autocratic theocracy?

Small government?

And…another victory for the White Christian Nationalists. Let us pray.

A man who is under investigation for inciting an attack against our country and is under indictment for stealing & mishandling our National security information, got to appoint 3 Justices to lifetime seats on our Supreme Court, and almost exactly one year after they helped to overturn 50 years of abortion rights for women, they have helped to overturn 50+ years of Affirmative Action for minorities.

Thank you for all your courageous and fact-based meteorological and climate reporting! You have made a difference for central Iowa viewers! Looking forward to your next contributions in the fight for a sustainable future. Take care.

[Chris Gloninger, CCM, CBM @ChrisGloninger]

A quick goodbye. More later. I’ll be focusing on my health, family and combating the #ClimateCrisis.

Iowa lacks the ‘capacity’ in so many ways

Yes! Historic session of accomplishments and benefits for the people of Minnesota thanks to Dem trifecta! Impressive work!

[Stacey Walker @swalker06]

Minnesota is showing Democrats everywhere why it’s important to deliver when you have power.

It’s a pretty simple lesson, but one that Democrats obviously need to study.

3-days. 60+ meetings with members of Congress & the White House team, pushing to make stillbirth prevention a national priority. Grateful for all the moms & dads who flew to DC to share their stories & to so many Congressional members for agreeing to help champion the cause!

[Joe Bolkcom @JoeBolkcom]

Congratulations! You will be greatly missed for your astute coverage of state government and Iowa politics. Thank you!

Some personal news...After 22 years at WHO 13 (and it began with a two-year contract!), I've decided to find my "what's next." I'm so thankful to my colleagues for their teamwork and friendship, so grateful to viewers who trusted me...

Iowa’s approach to climate change is daffy
https://t.co/0kMKyazSnk

[Joe Bolkcom @JoeBolkcom]

@IAGovernor and @DebiDurham are climate deniers. They gutted Iowa’s energy efficiency programs and abolished funding for the Iowa Energy Center and @CGRER. The 2017 Iowa Energy Plan makes NO mention of climate change. Pathetic and so stupid.

[Rob Hogg @SenatorRobHogg]

"Iowa is one of four states that missed a deadline last week to participate in the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG) program."

Gov. Reynolds just gave up tens of millions that will go to other states for clean energy and natural resources.

Congratulations @CounttheKicksUS on your work with WA Senator @KarenKeiser1! She has long been a champion for moms, kids and families! She gets stuff done!

[Janet Petersen @janet4iowa]

@CounttheKicksUS may soon be saving babies in Des Moines, IA AND Des Moines, WA! Thank you Senator @KarenKeiser1 for championing stillbirth prevention & health equity Washington. @JoeBolkcom

GOP priorities. Private religious schools got $233 million MORE than our public schools for the 23-24 school year. More rural decline.

[Sarah Trone Garriott @SarahforIowa]

A 3% increase for public education just passed the House. 72 school districts will get less than last year and cut budgets as a result or have to raise property taxes. The majority of these districts are represented by Republican legislators. Here are those districts:
