This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

We had a great time walking in the Waukee 4th of July Parade with the Dallas County Democrats this morning! We shared our support for our public schools and teachers, our environment and clean water, healthcare accessibility, and for our neighbors. #StrongerTogether

Well, this we can agree on, even Senator Thom Tillis is calling out his own colleagues: “Too many elected officials are motivated by pure raw politics who don’t really give a damn about the people they promised to represent on the campaign trail,” the North Carolina Republican wrote.

What are you doing to celebrate Pride this month? I’m looking forward to joining the most joy-filled parade of the year in Des Moines this weekend.
We hope you and your family find the joy and love inherent in #PrideMonth even, and maybe especially, in the times and places where we are still fighting hatred and injustice.

Constituent: Trump and his cabinet in addition to being totally unqualified and inept are breaking laws by ignoring federal judge's orders. When are you going to do the responsibility you are elected for by holding the executive branch accountable up to and including impeachment?

Today is the #CVIDayOfAction and we’re demanding the Trump administration restore critical funding for community violence intervention programs proven to save lives.

CVI programs are a lifeline in communities hit hardest by gun violence. Cutting their funding puts lives at risk. #ProtectCVI

"We are now in a position in which Republican colleagues are not allowed to say whether or not they support or oppose an amendment" -- bizarre scenes at the House Committee on Natural Resources as Republicans refuse to engage with Joe Neguse's questions & instead sit in silence

What this president is doing to our country and what this governor has done to our state—not OK. Big crowds at multiple events in Des Moines, Iowa. #hands-off
