This election demonstrates that Iowans love being told the pandemic is no big deal.

[Brianne Pfannenstiel @brianneDMR]

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says this election "reflects that Iowans somewhat agree with how we have handled not only COVID-19 but conservative, fiscally responsible decisions that have been made."

Thanks, @JDScholten. You have done so much for Iowa.

[Zach Wahls @ZachWahls]

The polls have just closed in Iowa and because of @JDScholten, Steve King will not be a member of Congress next year. Please join me in thanking him.

@daswenson This thread bums me the f*** out.

Everyone in my doctoral cohort was a first gen student and I will never stop being grateful for that. We figured it out together. ❤️

Yesterday I asked my PI why he chose to work in academia.

PI: “Both my parents have PhDs in science and I grew up seeing their dissertations on my bookshelf. I always knew one day I’ll write one.”

Me: “I just learned grad school was a thing a couple years ago.”

@DrRenPen Aw, hugs!!

[Kara @ktrebil]

This breaks my heart.

[Kara @ktrebil]

My heart is racing from ALL OF THIS GD GASLIGHTING. Now this guy thinks he gets to demand answers to the questions HE asks?! #VPDebate

Pence is clueless about the very real climate anxiety that is crushing young people. Out. Of. Touch.

Join me tomorrow as I share the amazing history of Buxton, Iowa--a unique racially integrated coal mining town of 5,000 residents where, in 1900, Black Americans were the majority, were leaders in the community, and were treated equal to Whites. Register: https://t.co/dRSOmChErW

@mandajeanne So interesting. I keep waiting for them to start popping up but they haven’t.

[Kara @ktrebil]

Are campaign yard signs just not really a thing anymore? In Cedar Rapids it seems like tree and roof companies are running for office.

[Kara @ktrebil]

@troye8418 Interesting! I was genuinely wondering because there are so few here. I think I saw more during the primaries.

@AustinFrerick Amazing. And now I need to learn more about 100 Grannies for a Sustainable Future!

@emilyjshields Have you gotten to the quote that goes something like, “If I’m planning a meal I’d rather have everyone bring something from their own culture than have it catered.”? So good.

[Kara @ktrebil]

This is very validating.

‘We need to get this back to a democracy, of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ — Iowa congressional candidate @JDScholten has a new message for the district that sent Steve King to the House of Representatives

[Scott Conroy @ScottFConroy]

I'm very surprised by how surprised people are.

[Karine Jean-Pierre @K_JeanPierre]

Anyone who was expecting Donald Trump to denounce white supremacy has not been paying attention the last 4 years.
