Big Oil is raking in record profits from the Iran war. So when Rep. Hinson votes SIX TIMES against limiting U.S. military involvement in Iran, while pocketing $60k in donations from Big Oil (with 1/3 of it coming AFTER the war began) yeah, we have questions… heartlandsignal.com/2026/08/07/r...
Deep gratitude to Rusty Martin for sharing his story so honestly. It has been a privilege for our staff to collaborate with Rusty through the years, and this call for death with dignity in Iowa is just one more example of the service he has always shown. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/opinio...

Reynolds wants a 99-county farewell tour to talk about her legacy. Sure. Here's the legacy, Governor: gutted public schools, a near-total abortion ban, kids kicked off food assistance, and dirty water. Iowans don't need to pay for a victory lap, we need a refund. www.kwqc.com/2026/07/13/g...
Gov. Reynolds plans farewell 99-county tour

Seems like Rep. Ashley Hinson is tired of hearing about clinic closures in Iowa. WE’RE TIRED OF THEM CLOSING. You can't gut Medicaid and then act like everything's fine. Iowans aren’t falling for it. iowastartingline.com/news/hinson-...

Lahn said he wants to build off the work of Gov. Reynolds, the most unpopular governor in America… We’ve got bigger goals: clean water, fully-funded public schools and a living wage for all! #WorldCup
Nearly 25,000 Iowans. Off SNAP. Just this year after Iowa's representatives voted to gut SNAP. That's why, when The Supply Hive asked us to partner up on this canning workshop, we said yes, even though most of us had never canned a day in our lives.

POV: Your rep votes to cut Medicaid & takes no responsibility when clinics close. Thanks to Peter, Jerry and state Representative Dr. Megan Srinivas for not letting Rep. Zach Nunn get away with this.

Did you know Miller-Meeks accepted over $55,000 from corporate PACS after voting to give them massive tax breaks last year? 👀👀👀 unrigoureconomy.com/wp-content/u...
Nearly 25,000 Iowans lost food assistance this year. Congressman Zach Nunn cut it & is now BRAGGING online. Hunger isn't an achievement.
Another year of Pride in the books, but the work continues! Thank you to every Iowan who marched, cheered, and showed up with love this month & beyond. #CRPride
Iowa’s feeling the heat, but we can’t swim at 10 of our state beaches because of high E. coli and algal toxins. Once again, corporate polluters get to run the show and Iowans pay the price… www.weareiowa.com/article/tech...
NEW: RFK Jr. now caught pressuring Libertarian candidates in BOTH IA-02 and IA-03 to drop out. Looks like Mitchell & Rep. Nunn fear a fair race… 👀👀👀 littlevillagemag.com/rfk-jr-recor...
Four years ago today, Roe was overturned and Iowans are paying the price. MAGA Republicans control our bodies with a six-week abortion ban & we rank last in OB-GYNs per capita. This isn't leadership. It's dangerous overreach.
Looks like Nunn’s scared. His team tried to pressure a Libertarian challenger to drop out. When that failed, they filed a formal challenge and got him kicked off the ballot over a name discrepancy. 👀👀👀 iowastartingline.com/news/nunn-ki...
Iowa’s prisons are already understaffed & near capacity. Now, there’s an expected 50% prison population increase over just THREE YEARS because of this dangerous MAGA policy. 🚨🚨🚨
Trillionaires should not be a thing. If the wealthy paid their fair share, Iowa wouldn't be watching schools and hospitals shut down. But MAGA Republicans keep cutting taxes for the rich while our communities crumble.
How do Republican legislators justify this as many Iowa public schools are forced to make cuts?!
