I had the honor of introducing @POTUS today, as he spoke about supporting access to abortion and how critical showing up to Election Day is for all our futures.
Abortion is healthcare and I am proud to be able to provide it. Get out and vote!
"It says to me that Franken is running a competent campaign and has a shot to defeat the seemingly invincible Chuck Grassley—previously perceived to be invincible," J. Ann Selzer, president of Selzer & Co, told The Des Moines Register. #IASen

I just stepped off the stage from the *one and only* debate Kim Reynolds agreed to.
She used the time to make clear that she's only fighting for her extremist, MAGA agenda – not Iowans’.
We can defeat her in just 22 days, can we get 6K RTs on this to build on our momentum?
🚨 IOWA POLL 🚨
We’re now in a virtual tie with Senator Grassley. We’ve done this with ZERO help from the DSCC and will be seeing even more nasty, disingenuous attacks launched against us. Please help us take this #IASen seat back for the people of Iowa:

A non-medical friend recently asked me to describe clinic. I told her to imagine you have 20 meetings in a day, half of them new clients with urgent needs. Each requires your best self. You are late for at least 10 of them. You must prepare a report and deliverables for each one.
EXCLUSIVE: Dr. Caitlin Bernard, who according to Indiana state records provided an abortion to a 10-year-old rape victim, tells those who doubt the veracity of children needing abortion: “Come spend a day in my clinic.”
1/2: Statement from ACOG's CEO: "Clinicians who provide abortion care are regularly subject to threats, intimidation, and even violence. This is inexcusable."
The DC consultant class apparently wants candidates to stop talking about Roe being overturned. They claim voters only care about “pocketbook” & “kitchen table” issues.
As a progressive Dem that’s knocked a lot of doors in a rural/red state...that cannot be more wrong...

UPDATE With non-med family members at my cousin's bedside it took 5 days to get pain bearable during the day. Despite requests for call, only heard from team through wife's phone at rounds
Flew in day 6 when from 11p to 2a he was in 10/10 pain and they couldn't reach a provider.
Iowans believe public dollars should fund public schools, but Rs in the State Senate passed a bill that:
💸Diverts $76M away from public schools where 93% of Iowans are educated
💸Undermines underfunded rural schools
💸Requires 0 transparency from private schools that get funds
Today's REC report shows the "trickle down tax cut" from Governor Kim Reynolds and GOP politicians will overwhelmingly benefit the ultrarich and big corporations, while resulting in likely future budget cuts for public schools, law enforcement agencies, & our health care system.
@BmC_86 @AmberForIowa @janet4iowa@IAHouseGOP@IASenateGOP Personal choice for themselves. Everyone else has no personal choice unless they agree with the one making the rules.
In the end, it's control and not freedom of choice at all.
.@KimReynoldsIA opened schools during peak of the pandemic, against the will of locally elected school boards, after rejecting federal funds to keep children safe in the classroom.
Our GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds attacked President Biden's COVID response, but was just caught abusing $450,000.00 of our states' COVID relief money to pay her staff salaries instead of saving lives.
One of the most egregious examples is Governor Reynolds attempts to have it both ways on the American Rescue Plan. She publicly opposed it but is happy to take credit for doling out federal dollars:

My second dissertation paper is now out, published with @Prof_HeidiAllen and @jamie_daw! We find that the ACA Medicaid expansions were associated with a small reduction in births. 1/2 https://t.co/AoVzOC1ets
