When Democrats had control of the House, they passed the American Rescue Plan, a bipartisan Infrastructure bill, the first major gun safety legislation in decades, the CHIPS Act, the Inflation Reduction Act, the PACT Act and the Respect for Marriage Act. Republicans have had a dude fight, a cat fight and a BS censure vote. Any questions?

Caitlin Clark has 161 points and 52 assists in this NCAA Tournament. Since 2000, it's one of six instances of a player having 150 points and 50 assists in ANY 5-game span. All six of those belong to Caitlin Clark.

Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’ Bullshit.

Gov. Kim Reynolds puts out statement on the Starts Right Here charter school shooting. Compare to how she described the East High School shooting last year: "I think the tragedy is our system, our educational system is letting these kids down."

Dowling High School, a private catholic high school, would receive $10 MIILION taxpayer dollars annually if @IAGovernor's voucher scam is passed. $10 MILLION every year from families with children Dowling won't even admit. iowastartingline.com/2023/01…

So, student loan relief is bad because taxpayers shouldn’t be on the hook for people’s educational choices But school vouchers are good because taxpayers should be on the hook for people’s educational choices. Do I have this right @IAGovernor ?

If you live in rural or small town Iowa you need to pay attention with what’s happening at the Capitol! Gov. Reynolds controversial School Vouchers bill will hurt rural and small town Iowa communities.

Wow.
During Congressional Gold Medal ceremony for Jan. 6 police, representatives of those receiving awards shake hands with Schumer then walk past McConnell and McCarthy.

Again. There is no HB at 6 wks, electrical activity in pre-cardiac cells. At 12 wks, the neural system is developing, the fetus is not purposefully wiggling its toes. No pain a 15 wks, tired of telling you this. Good luck with trying to resuscitate a 21 weeker. All fucking lies.

In Kansas, they tried to pass a bill to curtail transgender rights. It was vetoed by their democratic governor. They attempted to override the veto, and fell short by one vote. One local house race made the difference for thousands of trans people. Go vote y’all.

→ POLL UPDATE: a new poll shows that a majority of Iowans believe that abortions should be safe, legal, and accessible. Retweet if you’re one of them.

News flash, @IAGovernor: People paying off student loans ARE working people. That's why we had to get loans in the first place. To everyone else: DON'T BUY IN to the GOP'S divide and conquer strategy on this. – at Cedar Rapids, IA

Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud: they want to pass a nationwide abortion ban. The only thing stopping that ban from coming to Iowa is the governor’s veto pen. 🖊️ I’ll veto any extremist abortion ban that comes across my desk, Kim Reynolds will sign it.

In Australia, this football team just won the league championship. Their captain went into the stands to get their waterboy, who has Down's Syndrome, so they could celebrate together. #Humanity 🌏 🇦🇺

Let me get this straight: The GOP is running on banning abortion, banning contraception, banning books, eliminating Social Security and Medicare, defunding the FBI, targeting the people investigating Jan 6, raising drug prices, and protecting Trump? #GOPContractForCruelty

Nobody wants to talk about abortion. I hear this daily. And it’s true. And we shouldn’t have to talk about it - it should be medical care that is available when needed. But it’s not. 1/

Summit likes to claim Iowans are lining up to support their carbon pipeline scam. So it's super weird that their eminent domain filings show mile after mile of landowners refusing to sign over property. If everybody loves the project, why does Summit need to steal our land?

555 days ago insurrectionists ransacked the US Capitol and *hours later 68% of House republicans voted to finish the rioters’ job and make trump a dictator. Never forget it.
