1 in 5 Iowans are on Medicaid. Nearly 40% of them are children. 90% of SNAP recipients are families with children, disabled, a veteran, or elderly. We're talking about basic assistance to the most vulnerable in our state.
Joni Ernst wants to rip that away. Together, we will defeat her.

Trump rolls into the G7 summit complaining about how mean they are to Putin, trashes America on foreign soil, confused the EU with the UK, dropped papers on the ground, trashed Tucker Carlson, accomplished nothing, then bailed early to escalate a war. MAGA!
