I just donated $10 to our senate race in Iowa. According to the polls, it’s currently a toss up and in our gubernatorial race it’s leaning left!!! Can you imagine if Iowa flipped blue? It’s happened before. It can happen again. 🌊

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Israel is destroying every pipe and hose that delivers water to rural Palestinian and Lebanese villages. This Nazis behaviour still has the loyalty of AIPAC funded politicians. If that doesn’t scare you, you’re a fascist.

Hakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again. They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.

Absolutely 💯 Tax Them…. NEW: Over the World Cup final weekend, ~3,000 private jets flew in and out of the NY area. On the last day, private jet CO2 in the area doubled its 5-year norm(!). Private jets are the most carbon-intensive form of travel. Tax them.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

If Andy Beshear doesn’t call for a special election before August 3rd and force Mitch McConnell to prove he can speak in a video, then Andy Beshear becomes the new Merrick Garland. I’m sorry but I make the rules.

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

These are mostly indigenous communities in Alaska that have been slammed by the storm. The local manager of a small airline fleet says he is the only one doing evacuations right now! Defund FEMA and people are abandoned. Defund public media and no-one knows. FYI, today is Indigenous Peoples Day.

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

Political violence is evil, killing people is evil, a country with more guns in it than people is broken, and what the government is saying about political violence right now being a primarily leftwing phenomenon is factually, statistically untrue. They are using this moment to rewrite history.

The evidence is literally in the public domain and has been for like 30 years. There are victim statements, there are investigations into trafficking by his beauty pageants, there are comments he has made himself. Its overwhelming. calling it speculation just shows how little people know the history
