This is the first full game I've been able to watch this season and Iowa is far more cohesive than I was expecting.

I know it's Drake, but blowing them out of the water like this? The 3s and the selfless passing. Going to be a fun season and fingers crossed everyone stays healthy.
End of the Third Quarter

#21 Iowa - 74
Drake - 38

This has been pretty impressive from Iowa.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

Also important to remember that everyone involved in the coverup -- whether formally or informally -- is part of the exact same conspiracy against the victims and against the nation.

I caucused for Senator Klobuchar in 2020 in Iowa and stand by my faith in her. She knows what we need and will fight for all Americans.

Caving now is throwing away the whole shutdown. Re-up the ACA and keep SNAP benefits paid
Lowering costs is the top priority for the American people. I voted against this budget bill because it does not prevent health insurance premiums from doubling for so many Americans. The President and Congressional Republicans should have come to the table to work with us to lower these costs.

I've left so many awkward voicemails today! My state's Senators (2), my state rep (1), my governor who isn't running again but loves boot licking (1)

I'm a one woman cringe tour of begging to fund the ACA and stop supporting the Pedo in chief. Those are my two talking points.
this is why you gotta call your senators even if they aren’t part of the ‘cave’ group - we could still stop this if they realize they have to do this by themselves, with no cover from anyone else
6/ with all the political damage and opposition demoralization that goes with that. Also I suspect - though I can’t be sure - that the cave group probably isn’t ready to do this with no cover at all. Final point, I made crystal clear as march was unfolding that the whole thing was playacting.

I called my super GOP house rep just to yell at him because I can: Zach Nunn 202-225-5476

Do something to help Iowans! Not just pad the pockets of Party leader Pedos and big corporations. Iowans need affordable healthcare and affordable groceries.
The agreement to hold a vote on ACA subsidies is not a concession. It's worth literally nothing. It should be ignored when evaluating the merits of the deal
Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

The was a Republican shutdown because the GOP wouldn't negotiate — and Dems made that about their unwillingness to negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies.

If Dems vote for this, the answer to the "why did you do it for the past 40 days?" question becomes very difficult to answer.

I am begging you @joniernst.bsky.social 202-224-3254 to hear us Iowans and worry first about our healthcare coverage and less about her future retirement grift. I left her a voicemail today and hope she chooses Iowans over Trumpism.

Look, I'm not trying to be an asshole, but this is too many words. I need the Dems to understand messaging and concise-ness.

Dems are fighting for lower healthcare costs, GOP wants you to rot. And is also hiding the Epstein files.

Honestly I expect/hope a lot of them fold when their shoes get wet.

None of these are my Senator in Iowa. But Chuck is too busy getting "u know what" at Dairy Queen and Joni is maybe still sleeping with that one Air Force lobbyist? I'm going to call and badger Schumer as much as I can.

I don't like to think I have an inner "Karen", but in these scenarios, I dig deep and like to find my inner white middle age lady Karen to weigh in and let them know!
So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader
Call them:

All day yesterday I was looking forward to a lowkey day at home watching sports. And then I realized the Brewers don't play, the Packers don't play, and I can't even hate watch the Bears to troll some friends 😂 Thank goodness the WNBA has game 2 to watch!

Let's go Mercury!
