Want better schools in Iowa? Fund the ones we already have, dumbass.

PLEASE SHARE ASAP! Today, the Governor’s office reported that Kim Reynolds would NOT be supporting the application, rendering Iowa ineligible for the $30 MILLION dollar grant for Iowa families... @KimReynoldsIA#iowa@DeidreDeJear#governor

Among the witnesses will be fourth grader Miah Cerrillo of Uvalde, Texas, who has said she covered herself with a classmate's blood to appear dead in order to escape the shooter at her elementary school. https://t.co/8CTwWPGyRi via @IowaCapDispatch
Both young women killed, a 22 and 21-year-old, outside the Ames church, were ISU students, the sheriff's office says just now
"Targeted act of violence" toward one of the women, domestic conflict, 9mm pistol used
Man recently charged for harassment in regards to the woman
A search warrant recovered an AR-15 from Whitlatch’s home. That was not used in this attack. He used a 9mm according to @storycosheriff. Search warrant also recovered more 9mm ammunition and a receipt for ammunition from a store in West Des Moines roughly an hour earlier
In the aftermath of Uvalde’s preventable tragedy, many of us are asking why Congress seems unable to act. This article provides a useful primer on how the Senate filibuster makes progress on this and other issues difficult, and why it needs to be changed. https://t.co/gUzDfotMLp
