Sen. Grassley says, “I’m for the $35 cap,” then turns down the winding road of D.C. doublespeak that has come to define his legacy.
Here's why:
1) He took $1.4 million from the drug companies; and
2) He just isn't capable of putting people over politics.

A man in his high 80s feeling entitled to a full-month vacation in August could just, you know, retire.

People on the asexuality spectrum belong at Pride—not as allies, but as full participants.

Sadly, as a researcher I’ve found that ace folks sometimes feel unwelcome at Pride.

But queerness includes asexuality. Pride is for ace spectrum folks too.

No to pinkwashing this #PrideMonth, and yes to trans liberation!

In light of the draft of a leaked majority Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, I want to call your attention to the people that would be impacted most by the end of legalized abortion across the United States. 🧵:

HF2355 cuts benefits for hardworking Iowans who find themselves out of work due to no fault of their own and puts Iowa families at risk. This is an EARNED BENEFIT. Instead of trusting Iowans, the Iowa GOP thinks out of work Iowans are lazy. This bill does nothing but hurt Iowans.

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.

[Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor @KeeangaYamahtta]

What a mouthful. Extraordinary racism and ethnocentrism on the mainstream news. It’s not just the “civilized” bit, but the notion that in Iraq and Afghanistan war is just a normal part of life and not a vicious imposition from places like the so-called civilized West.

[Deidre DeJear @DeidreDeJear]

I don’t want to believe it either, but this is what it looks like when Kim chooses to “do better” for Iowans. A tax cut that gives +$45.60 to IA middle class working families a month vs an extra $5,144 to the wealthy.

I support a fair tax plan that uplifts working families..🧵

Iowa lawmakers are going into the week with a shorter list of bills to consider. Those that failed to get committee approval before last Friday’s “funnel” deadline are likely dead for the year https://t.co/Vg0KhJclE9 #ialegis

[Iowa House Democrats @iowahousedems]

Today, Republicans plan on taking their Transgender Kids Sports Ban to the House Floor. This is an unnecessary and cruel piece of legislation that lacks facts, understanding, and compassion. Tell Republican Representative Garrett Gobble to stand up for ALL kids.

The U.S. Department of Education opened investigations into Iowa and four other Republican-led states Monday for banning mask mandates in schools, citing concerns that such policies may violate the civil rights of students with disabilities https://t.co/o3rq8K0PEi

White women. It was in many ways granted to white women in an attempt to preserve white supremacy. And several leading suffragettes explicitly argued for white women's right to vote based on their voting power being enough to maintain it.
