Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Congressional Democrats better grasp the level of fury among the base and get loud. This is pure authoritarianism, and there will be a revolt. Americans don’t do monarchies.

If you’re collecting a taxpayer-funded paycheck, the least you can do is show up for the people footing the bill. Dodging your own constituents isn’t leadership—it’s cowardice.

This is how it’s done folks. If your rep won’t hold a town hall because they know what they’re doing is unpopular, hold one for them and let everyone in your community know what they’re up to.
Congressman Jack Bergman’s constituents held a town hall tonight—because their cowardly congressman refused.
He’s happy to cash a taxpayer-funded paycheck but too scared to face the people he’s supposed to represent. Pathetic.

Hi @padilla.senate.gov, I tried to call your office but your voicemail says it only works during normal business hours. I can’t call you then because of the Hatch Act. I can only call after I get off work. Please oppose the RIFs at federal agencies! We need your help!

We’ve had 4 major plane disasters that have killed 85 people since Trump became president.

Still waiting to hear Trump’s justification for firing hundreds of Federal Aviation Administration staff. Anyone??

My office is hearing reports that the Trump administration’s purges include firing veterans who have served our country for years.

Our veterans deserve better.

If you've been impacted, call congress: (202) 224-3121

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

They’ve done away with any pretense Trump is in charge.

In what universe does MAGA think our Founding Fathers wanted to have this unelected billionaire meeting with world leaders in the White House?

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans?

I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off.

This is absurd.

I’ve heard from community health centers in Minnesota who are already looking at layoffs by the end of the day. May not be able to make payroll at the end of the week.

Republicans need to grow a spine here. This isn’t a game, it’s people’s lives.

Hegseth is trying to be a smooth-talker today during his confirmation hearing…

But he’s sexist, against diversity in our armed forces, and is unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense.

That’s the substance over style that the Senate must focus on.
