1/The abortion ban bill that will be debated in special session next week is out. My impressions after first read through:
1. There are exceptions for rape, incest, and medical emergency. There would be a reporting requirement for the rape or incest https://t.co/HpaXi7u2U9

Contact your Iowa state Senators and Representatives now, Iowa.

Despite an overwhelming majority of Iowans supporting abortion rights, Republicans have scheduled a special session on July 11 to BAN ALL abortion care in Iowa with NO exceptions.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨🚨🚨BOOM: AOC DESTROYS Kevin McCarthy for the holding the national debt hostage and for suggesting Washington needs to “spend less.”

“Ok, then undo the yacht and private jet tax breaks the GOP passed for themselves,” AOC retorted.

“Why should single moms and veterans have to pay for the GOP’s giveaways to the rich?

Especially when you don’t even have the votes of your own caucus?” She added.

Let’s get this straight:

The Republicans want nothing more than to pretend that the debt ceiling needs to be lifted to accommodate next year's budget. They frame it that way relentlessly, and sad to say, lazy journalists buy into their framing. The debt ceiling needs to be raised to pay for all the spending the Republicans authorized in 2017 when they gave away a substantial chunk of the Treasury to their rich pals.

So now the time comes that we need to pay the country's bills incurred in the last several years and now coming due. But we're a little short on cash since we gave rich people more money, so now it's time for disabled and retired citizens to pungle up, and single mothers living close to the bone have to forego SNAP benefits. Because Kevin McCarthy couldn't possibly ask
mega billionaires to pay more.

The middle class should no longer carry the majority of the tax burden and the tax breaks for the rich. Let them pay their fair share for a change.

Now, McCarthy is trying to shift blame to DEMOCRATS.

We know who’s FAULT this.

This sounds an awful lot like weaponizing the government; do what we say or we'll make it rough for you.

Projection much?

You are not being oppressed because someone else doesn't believe what you believe, someone else doesn't do what you do, someone else chooses a path different from yours. You are the oppressor when you think everyone must follow your path!

BREAKING: The Iowa Senate passed a child labor law before dawn today.

The bill lets 14-year-olds work 6-hour night shifts, 15-year-olds work on assembly lines, and 16- and 17-year-olds serve alcohol.

The Senate went through the night, and voted on child labor at 4:52 a.m.

If you don't believe in abortions, don't get one.

But leave the people who NEED to get one alone. It's none of your fucking business.
