Ms Rachel: “Moms - ICE broke the wrist of a 20-year-old student who has special needs on his way to school. They had the wrong person. He’s a US citizen, not that it would be okay if he wasn’t a US citizen. They left him on the side of the road with no medical care. He needed surgery. I already cried about this. Now I’m just mad”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: the private school voucher program has been one of the biggest invitations to waste, fraud, and abuse in Iowa history. We have a $1.3 billion budget deficit, and Iowans deserve accountability for how their tax dollars are spent. #IAGov #GovDebate

Jared Kushner should be in jail.
According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.

Trump doesn't understand why riding a stolen oil tanker full of Venezuelan oil is a bad look. Because he doesn't think like us. He is abnormal.

"Won't someone think of the wealthy?" is an interesting closing argument for Bob Vander Plaats and Zach Lahn, huh, Iowa?
Means testing is a typical Democrat talking point aimed at something they want to destroy. So beware when @RobSandIA attacks the rich parents for receiving ESA’s for their children. When he won’t apply the same means test to rich parents who choose public schools, it’s simply an attack on Parental Rights and school choice. Make no mistake…Parental Rights and School Choice are on the ballot. #ChooseWell Choose @ZachLahn

Wow! U.S. Senator @ElissaSlotkin just said that Trump "wants Putin to win" the war with Ukraine this winter: "I think this president in the past two weeks has laid bare that he's had this longstanding bromance with Putin. I think in the last two weeks it's become very clear he wants Putin to win this war this winter. And he's taking steps to allow them to sell oil and give them money again, to disrupt Starlink, to show the Ukrainians where his hand actually lies. I think that's a huge strategic mistake for the United States."

NEW: The NCAA tells us ZERO trans student-athletes are now competing in women's sports. Why does 15% of America think there are tens of THOUSANDS? "Politics are winning on the back of fiction."

Zach Lahn is a career political operative who ran a campaign to block Medicaid expansion in Montana, which would've blocked tens of thousands of people from getting insurance. Iowans can't trust him to protect health care. #IAGov #GovDebate

We have to get Iowa back on track. Cleaning up our water, accountability for government officials, funding public education, and putting public service ahead of politics - like you, these issues matter to me because I have skin in the game. I hope that during tonight's debate I earned your vote.

“My dad called, and asked if I was watching President Trump’s speech on the Mall, and I said I hadn’t been …. And he said the president just said, ‘We need to get rid of the Liz Cheneys of the world.’”
Former Rep. @Liz_Cheney (R-WY) recounts her experience on January 6th and a call with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who warned her that President Trump put a "target" on her: "The emotion that I remember is deep anger."

In 2024, Zach Nunn said he'd lower costs. Then he voted 8 times for tariffs and 5 times for the war that's driving up prices for gas, diesel, and groceries. Iowa families can’t afford these votes. 
In Congress, I'll vote to end the war and the chaotic tariffs.

As a former teacher, I never scrubbed in for a gender reassignment surgery, but I did instruct the kids on how to get the window screens off in case of an active shootėr.

What Zach Lahn isn't saying: he runs a private school in Kansas that rejects kids with disabilities and is millions of dollars in debt. He wants this to be "the model for reinventing education" in Iowa. No thanks. #IAGov #GovDebate kansasreflector.com/2026/08/…

I ran for State Auditor to make government more efficient, and I've kept that promise. My office created PIE – the Public Innovations and Efficiencies program, which has been so effective that all 99 counties participate AND it's been copied in two other states. I want to expand that program as governor to improve efficiency across state government and save your tax dollars. #IAGov #GovDebate

🚨BREAKING: The woman punched in the face at Trump’s Youngstown rally has filed a report seeking to press charges, and the Mahoning County Sheriff’s Office is now investigating three men. The woman was wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt when she started shouting during the Oct. 12 rally at the Covelli Centre. Videos show three Trump supporters going after her, and at least one punched her in the face and pulled her hair, The Vindicator reports. Others can be seen restraining her as she was attacked. Deputies removed her. The Trump supporters were permitted to stay. Trump stopped speaking, then said: “He’s a paid protester. They’re all paid.” He misidentified her gender and made fun of her weight. No evidence has been offered that she was paid. According to Newsweek, she told The New York Times that no organization coordinated or financed her appearance and (surprise) ordinary citizens can want powerful p*dophiles held accountable. No arrests were made that night. Sheriff Jerry Greene said deputies didn’t see the assault and she hadn’t filed a report. His office then found her through social media and her if she would like to press charges. She said yes. As of Oct. 21, the sheriff said he’d identified three men, two from the area and one from New Jersey. The two area men want lawyers present for their interviews. Separately, a man named Russell Dickert bragged that he and “a friend” named Gary his son Clint “subdued her and threw her to the concrete.” Dickert’s LinkedIn, located by Reich-Wing Watch, happened to list his residence in New Jersey. Police haven’t disclosed the identify of the three suspects they identified. Prosecutor Lynn Maro said her office’s information indicates a misdemeanor assault, though Greene said the woman’s injuries could change that. The woman has been identified as Blake Miley, 29. She’s represented by civil rights attorney Subodh Chandra. Whether to charge anyone is up to prosecutors.
