Iowa constituent: "People will die" because of Republicans' cuts to Medicaid Joni Ernst: "Well, we all are going to die." Unbelievable. #IASen

Joni Ernst and Senate Republicans' budget plan summed up in today's headlines #IASEN

200 Mainers gathered in Bangor this weekend to protest Susan Collins for Senator failure to stand up for them and call on her to use her power in Congress to block the Republicans’ toxic budget bill. Attendees shared personal stories of how Collins' failures have affected them. ⬇️

"In Iowa, 40% of the people who are enrolled in Medicaid are children [...] Ernst is mocking the people in her state, talking about the tooth fairy while planning to vote for a bill that’s going to savage health care in Iowa." msnbc.com/top-stories/la…

📰 Here’s what Iowans were reading this weekend:

BREAKING: New leaked audio shows Georgia Republican Buddy Carter admitting Trump’s tariffs are causing pain, but that he still supports them anyway. You can’t make this up. He's willing to rubber-stamp Trump’s agenda even if it means cratering the economy.

🏃‍♀️ WATCH: Senator Joni Ernst is running from the cameras after her comments mocking Iowans’ Medicaid concerns sparked nationwide backlash.

Susan Collins says she’ll give Donald Trump and Senate Republicans a green light to go full speed ahead with a plan that rips away health care from Mainers and threatens rural hospitals #MESEN

Republicans "scrambling" after Thom Tillis' retirement announcement: - Wall Street Journal ed board says Trump "puts the Senate in play in 2026" - Mitch McConnell calls it a "big setback" for Senate GOP - Cook Political Report shifts the NC Senate race to toss up #ncsen

We’ve seen this movie before. Collins won’t say how she’s voting right now because she has to wait for them to find the votes without her so she can get her hall pass. She cast the deciding vote to give Trump and her party the green light to move forward in the first place #MESEN

BIG yikes for Rogers, and for the NRSC who rolled out the red carpet for the failed candidate #MISEN

Susan Collins *pulled her own amendment* to help Trump + Senate Republicans get the bill she claims to oppose across the finish line. Her "opposition" is always a carefully crafted political move to give her a talking point for re-election and nothing more #MESEN

NEW: Trump team 'pissed off' with Kemp over candidate pick in Georgia's Senate GOP primary battle 🍿🍿🍿 #GASEN foxnews.com/politics/trump…

I have thought on it and prayed about it, and I have decided: I am running to be the next U.S. Senator from North Carolina.

Unlike GOP GOVs Brian Kemp and Chris Sununu, Democrats get their GOV in NC.

If you're having a rough day might I recommend a Roy Cooper edit?
