These “deficit hawks” spent weeks harrumphing about deficits (not to mention years yelling at us about it), said over and over again they wouldn’t vote to increase debt, got nothing, then voted to add like $5 trillion dollars in borrowing. Just ridiculous human beings

When asked if the United States should have a military parade to show off its might, President Eisenhower responded:

“Absolutely not. We are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.”

20 ARMED men bust into your home. They claim they’ve got a search warrant.

They make you stand in the rain w/your 3 daughters in their underwear.

They seize your phones, laptops, your cash life savings.

The suspects listed on the warrant? They don’t live there anymore.

As a worsening measles outbreak works its way through the country's unvaccinated population, there couldn't be a worse time to promote anti-vaccine behavior. Immunizations are safe and reliable and have protected Iowa's children for years.

Let's be real about expanding childcare access in Iowa. Funding successful, existing programs is a better way to serve Iowans' needs. SF 445 cuts from the local programs that our communities rely on.

It's striking how much Trumpists hate what's made the United States great: immigration, trade, medical and scientific research, the rule of law, an enlightened patriotism, a willingness and ability to correct past injustices.

At the end of the day, Trumpism is Third Worldism.

The governor released the names on her DOGE task force this week. She failed to include any legislative Democrats, the state auditor, or local public employees. It's clear tackling inefficiency isn't her goal. Read Sen. Weiner's full statement here: bit.ly/41ZJ2YV
