We're closing in on the end of the legislative session, but Iowa's public schools are clearly not among the governor's top priorities.

Iowa: we need to talk about our collapsing state budget. Long term, it is a fiscal time bomb. This is the state of our budget. youtu.be/D2eoLGobji4?si…

It’s time to restore sanity and common sense to the Iowa AG office. And elect someone who will not simply bow to Trump’s every whim. Nate will be a wonderful breath of fresh air. iowacapitaldispatch.com/briefs/democra…

Republican lawmakers are taking Iowa down a risky path with their deficit spending and over-reliance on one-time funds. Read more here: bit.ly/3Z6LHxS

Trump supports tariff-free Rolls-Royce imports but not Fords, Dodges, or Chevys made in Mexico and Canada, because wealth has its privileges and you don't matter. GOP...wise up. #DonaldTrump #rnc

Dear MAGA lying to yourself hurts you too.

We are in the second part of this.

Teacher Appreciation Week is an important reminder that we must stand up to attacks against our nation's teachers and our education system.

Trump told cadets at West Point that he had to leave right away (and not stay to salute each one and shake their hands, as is customary, as Biden did last year) because he had to deal with China and Russia. Here he is dealing with China and Russia.

On Memorial Day, let us pause to remember and honor the brave women and men who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live our lives in peace and possibility. Today we also honor the families they left behind whose hearts still carry the weight of absence.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

The Iowa GOP is failing us. This is why we need change.

I spoke to a conservative group. Heads exploded at Iowa GOP HQ with anger at “their voters" for talking to me. This is the arrogance and entitlement that comes from 10 years of total control.

6 June 1944. This 54 year old general made the call knowing the potential implication. I can’t imagine the mental & emotional strain. And it’s so very hard to comprehend the sacrifices for a new future that were the result. We cannot waste now what happened on that day.

My dad, his cousins and my uncle were in the U.S. Army. My uncle was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. And so many more. Fighting fascism. It is truly on us to ensure their sacrifices were not in vain.

81 years ago today, brave heroes stormed the beaches of Normandy to defeat fascism in Europe. We must honor their service by recognizing and defeating fascism when it arises in our own country.

How is Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. defending stripping Iowans of their healthcare? By claiming it's "their choice if they lose coverage." #IA01
