If you are near Clinton please attend & don’t let Feenstra get away with his standing tall or taking Iowa to new heights or being a work horse over a show horse ( this after Sand did 100 open to the public town halls whole Feenstra has been absent in his district for most of his terms).
oh, fun... Clinton, #iowa Friday. Click on the link below for free tickets. #feenstra #ia-04 Has he ever down a public town hall? Apparently, he's bringing a buddy.
FYI
Republican candidate for governor Randy Feenstra will be in Clinton on November 14. It would be a good opportunity to try to get in questions. Lieutenant Governor Chris Cournoyer will also be there.

I dropped off Virginia Giuffre’s memoir for Speaker Johnson. If he actually reads it, maybe he’ll finally release the Epstein Files and stop covering for the powerful men who abused her.
Justice for Virginia and the hundreds of other victims is long overdue.

At this inflection point for Trump's authoritarian project, the democratic resistance has a chance to rise to the occasion by linking together its legal prong (lawsuits), its political prong (the government shutdown fight), and its popular prong (No Kings). A moment of challenge and opportunity.

This is false as a matter of law, but it’s also useful as an admission that Republicans are perfectly happy with the government shutdown and will use it as a pretext to harm more Americans.
Mike Johnson on the shutdown: "It can provide an opportunity to downside the scope and scale of government, which is something that we've always wanted to do. So in a way Chuck Schumer has now handed the keys to the kingdom the executive branch under President Trump."

3 ways you can make noise about the shutdown if you have a GOP Member of Congress.
1) Find where they publicly said Dems want healthcare for illegals [sic] and--in the most aggrieved voice possible--berate them for claiming their constituents who rely on ACA are not real Americans.
