It’s not the Peace Prize, but something much more deserved! Yes, Trump, Iowans have named YOU Scrooge of the Year!
Want to pass on the title next year? Maybe stop pushing your tariffs that have made it nearly impossible for working families to get by!

Something we should all be able to agree on is that SH*T IS EXPENSIVE! But, Trump is trying to convince us that affordability is a “con job.” We think the true con is pretty clear…

There’s a huge loophole in the bill to release the Epstein files.
Trump’s administration can heavily delay or redact documents due to "active investigations" and "national security". That’s why we must demand elected officials support survivors, not billionaires, and release ALL the Epstein files.

Why the Epstein files won't be released as soon as the law is signed
When will Epstein files be released? Trump officials could delay

Hey Rep. Miller-Meeks: Iowans know you are responsible for our health insurance costs DOUBLING next year. That’s why Davenport advocates are demanding you permanently extend ACA tax credits! If you could find the money for billionaire tax cuts, you can find the funds for your constituents. #Iowa

Trump just told Congress not to “waste” time on ACA tax credits. 🚨 But, without them, many Iowa families will soon pay DOUBLE for their health insurance! That’s why today, Iowans like Amber stood against the MAGA war on health care.

You had plenty of time to sign the discharge petition to force a vote, including 100+ days to cosponsor the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But, you did as Trump asked and made victims of sex crimes wait until other representatives had the courage to stand against him.
