Dont be fooled! Joni's apology is fake news. More dismissiveness and insincerity that she chalks up to her "incorrect assumption."

Cruel and dismissive 47 Acolyte Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) doesn't care if people die.
Sen. Joni Ernst, when told people kicked off Medicaid will die:
"Well, we're all going to die."

Connect the dots: Ag Secy Rollins visited Iowa to dangle "market disruption payments," aka welfare for tariff-affected farmers, on the same day that IA Sen Chuck Grassley introduced a bill to "rein in judicial injunctions" from "individual district judges that dictate national policy."

Orange Felon acolytes IA State Sen. Koelker and IA State Rep. Bradley legislative forum. They voted to eliminate Medicaid expansion; to gut public K-12 funding to fund private school vouchers; to eliminate civil rights for transgender Iowans; to ban books. Cruelty is their agenda.

Iowa: first state in the US to revoke civil rights protections for transgender individuals. Republicans used hatred, fear, and misinformation to stigmatize transgender existence. They legislated cruelty. The bills also saw the largest protests in recent Iowa history. We will not remain silent.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)
