"And so if you're an independent voter who says 'I don't want to affiliate,' you're literally disenfranchised."

@RobSandIA spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning after voting in Iowa's Democratic primary. #IAGov

All four Iowa Republicans voted NO on military aid to Ukraine and tougher sanctions for Russia.
Once upon a time, @RepMMM, @RepAshleyHinson, @ZachNunn, and @RepFeenstra voiced support for Ukraine and condemned Russian aggression.

.@hinsonashley has been campaigning on banning members of Congress from stock trading and telling Iowans that she sold off her own stocks.

In reality, she still holds millions of dollars in insurance stocks that have increased her net worth by up to 10 times.

Wild story about #IA02 GOP front-runner Joe Mitchell.

"Mitchell’s campaign spending at Mar-a-Lago — $77, 390.18 — tops that of any other Republican running for Congress this cycle entering April," according to a NOTUS analysis of FEC records.

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

By supporting Ukraine, we deter aggression everywhere, combat authoritarianism and reaffirm that the United States does not abandon those who fight for freedom.

While some have been unwilling to stand up to Vladimir Putin, the Congress must.

Tonight, House Democrats did.

[Iowa Democrats @iowademocrats]

Amana Whirlpool announced plans to lay off 288 employees. Since last summer, Whirlpool has laid off nearly 900 workers in Amana while continuing to expand in Mexico.

Our communities deserve better than the Iowa Republicans in D.C., who have only catered to corporations and failed to provide protections for workers.

New post: Sophia Joseph explains why the Cedar Rapids-based progressive group We are CR decided to endorse @ZachWahls in the #IASen primary:
"It was clear that he understood the gravity of the fight and who he is fighting for."

Hilarious to watch conservatives build permission structures to vote for a demonstrably corrupt and immoral person, because the Democrat is the wrong kind of Christian for them.

🚨 BREAKING: ProPublica reporter Robert Faturechi confirms the White House directly intervened to force the Pentagon to give a record-breaking loan to a startup just 3 months after Don Jr. invested in it.

The Trump administration is looting the country!

If you're happy about the Kennedy Center decision thank Joyce Beatty. @RepBeatty was the plaintiff in the case that made Donald cry and write a 10 page essay about how he was going to abandon the Kennedy Center because they ordered his name taken off of it.

UFC fights on the White House lawn?!

Trump is desecrating the People’s House for cage matches and cheap spectacle.

Zero class. Total fucking disgrace.

Who agrees ??

[Norm Eisen @NormEisen]

BREAKING: we just won our Kennedy Center case!

Both the renaming & the closure of the Kennedy Center are enjoined

Kudos to our wonderful client @RepBeatty
& my colleagues @DDAction_ & Washington Litigation Group

This is a 1-2 punch against Trump's corruption

I cannot wait for 🇷🇺 russians to meet the 🇸🇪 Swedish Gripen fighter jet, which funnily was built specifically to fuck up the soviets, how beautiful 😍

🇫🇷French President Macron is standing with Lebanon and has delivered a big shock to Netanyahu.

🇫🇷 Macron: “3,000 dead in Lebanon. A million displaced. Nothing justifies today's strikes on Lebanon even after a ceasefire. This is an act of a war criminal. This is Unacceptable.”

That’s a leader with backbone🔥👏

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has one of the few labs in the world which can study Ebola virus.

In March 2025 RFK Jr had it shut down.

We now have a huge Ebola outbreak on our hands.

What a foolish move
