Never underestimate a daughter on a mission.
Watch this award winning documentary by Jen Senko so you can stop scratching your head while pondering, "how did we get here?" A personal story of a daughter on a mission that uncovered the truth about the Republican plan to build their own media in order to win elections.

I'm not in her district but I've been a fan since she beat Republican Jake Chapman whose big "accomplishment" was bringing us year round 24-7 neighborhood fireworks and famously said teachers have a "sinister" agenda. She will work hard to win this IA-03 congressional seat. Super excited! #iowa

First, Trump defunded the University of Iowa’s celebrated International Writing Program.
Today he withdrew funding for graduate school scholars at Iowa State University. This forced the school to rescind admissions.
Why does Trump hate the educated?

"The best and the worst thing about vaccination is that it 'makes nothing happen.'
A child successfully inoculated against measles doesn’t fall sick with that condition, doesn’t miss school, doesn’t go to the hospital. They don’t suffer life-changing complications. They don’t die prematurely."

A leading pediatrician was already worried about the future of vaccines. Then RFK Jr. came along
