@ChuckGrassley Knock off the propaganda and bullshit, @ChuckGrassley.

@RealDonaldTrump intentionally expelled thousands of unaccompanied migrant children under Section 42.

Republicans like you turned a blind eye to the extreme danger these children were placed in.

Republicans have nominated…

* A guy in Texas for Senate who protected child sex predators

* A guy in New Jersey who hasn’t been seen in public for months

* A guy in Iowa for Governor who’s from fucking Kansas

And they want to lecture us about our nominees?

Clean up your own house first.

As your IA state Treasurer, I’ll speak truth. Our state’s ESA programming is diverting much needed funding away (over $330 million next year) from public schools and other state priorities.

Today’s Des Moines Register highlights a just published Anne E. Casey Foundation report, which finds:

1) Iowa’s education ranking has dropped to 27th.
2) 71% of our 4th graders are not reading proficient at their grade!
3) Preschool participation has dropped from 57 to 53% over the 9 year period ending ‘24.
4) High school graduation are rates down to 89% from 92%.

Providing ESA school vouchers for millionaires is not helping these stats. Providing ESA vouchers for out-of-state tuition for kids to learn elsewhere is not helping Iowa’s public schools. Providing 2% annual increases to our public schools — below the rate of inflation — is not helping address these challenges.

The Iowa Code talks about the importance and state mission of funding “common schools.” Do ESAs funding of private schools sound like “common schools?” Some 60 of our 99 counties don’t have a single private school. How are ESAs equitable and helping adequately fund our public school districts?

Iowa’s public schools are foundational: 1) to our rural and urban community identities and to 2) our state’s future growth. It’s time to bring transparency and accountability to the poor financial decisions being made at the Capitol.

We need some change in leadership this November. Help me drive change in 2027. Chip in at https://t.co/61mgs208cN.

Onward!

The Postal Service and @POTUS do NOT have the authority to refuse to deliver mail in ballots in states that have rightfully refused to hand over voter lists to Trump.

This is an abuse of state voting rights.

Republicans can't win if they don't cheat and this is cheating.

More of this, please. Musk already bought an election. Don’t let him buy our wildlife refugees too.

Let's walk through what actually happened here, in order.

DOGE cut the USAID program specifically designed to prevent screwworm from crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. DOGE cut USDA's animal disease control and prevention funding. That funding had supported more than 180 outbreak investigations in 22 countries and capacity-building in more than 160 laboratories. The screwworm monitoring and response program that watched the border for exactly this parasite - cut.

Then screwworm showed up in Texas cattle. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a disaster for Zavala and Uvalde counties this week.

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins went on CNBC this morning and blamed the Biden administration, 17 months out of office.

Her specific words: "obviously not much had been done to push back."

The program that was supposed to push back existed. DOGE eliminated it in March 2025. Rollins has been Agriculture Secretary since February 13, 2025. The cuts happened on her watch.

Beef prices are already high. Ranchers in south Texas are now dealing with a flesh-eating parasite that was eradicated in this country in the 1960s - eradicated, specifically, using the sterile fly program her department defunded.

The flies existed. The program existed. The budget existed.

Until it didn't.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has spent the past eight months mounting what critics describe as an unprecedented campaign to install his son-in-law, 26-year-old first-time candidate Michael Alfonso, in a vacant congressional seat — and the backlash from within his own party is growing.

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Mike Johnson PANICS after a recorded conversation is released exposing the House Republican plan to CUT Medicaid, Medicare, AND social security for millions of Americans.

They denied it. The recording just blew up the entire lie. EVERY American should see this.

[Jenn @JennyinIowa]

Thanks again, @KimReynoldsIA and the @IowaGOP.

Iowans, this will keep happening as long as this state keeps voting for Republicans who DGAF about our health.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."

Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

😱😱😱 And just like that, it’s completely VANISHED from the media.

A sitting congressman, Ted Lieu, said on the record the Epstein files are being blocked because they show Trump raped and threatened to kill children.

[Iowa Senate Democrats @SenateMajority]

Today the governor issued an executive order privatizing Iowa’s IT services, doing away with 200 public sector jobs. Not only do 200 workers lose their job, even if they’re rehired by these companies, they still lose their IPERS (retirement) benefits.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Republicans just BLOCKED Sen. Richard Blumenthal's attempt to get Veterans their retirement pay WITHOUT cutting disability benefits. Republicans will write blank checks to the military, then penny pinch when it's time to support our Vets.
