Thirty-six years ago, Iowa’s own Senator Tom Harkin helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act, opening doors and breaking down barriers for millions of disabled Americans, including kids like me.

The ADA fundamentally changed my life. It’s an example of what we can accomplish when we elect people who are focused on solving people’s problems.
Iowans are ready to have a senator that is going to fight for them, not just for the billionaires and large corporations. We’re going to win this race in November and Push for Change.
Everywhere I’m going, I’m hearing the same thing: Iowans are hurting. Costs are too high, and politicians like Ashley Hinson are only making things worse. It’s time Washington worked for Iowans. In the Senate, I’ll fight for a livable wage, fight to bring down costs, and always put Iowans first.
Ashley Hinson has voted six times to continue a Middle East war. Now gas prices are rising here in Iowa more than almost anywhere else in the country. Iowans are hurting, and Ashley Hinson is only making it worse. It’s past time to end this war, bring down costs, and put Iowans first.
BREAKING: Republicans are no longer worried about deficits and debt Bessent: "I'm not as bothered by it ... if '26 is flat to slightly up, this isn't wasteful social spending "
“The fight isn’t over yet.” Jeffrey Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky says Todd Blanche’s confirmation effort is “depressing,” but she’s not giving up. Don’t let the Epstein files disappear from the conversation. Survivors deserve justice. ⚖️ #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance
If you voted today, you're in the game. If you didn't, you're in the bleachers. This November, join the team. We're going to need you on the field.
This is the reality inside ICE detention centers. Children are being forced into jail-like conditions while this Administration strips away their basic human rights. We cannot allow this stand. We must hold this inhumane Administration accountable!

Today's Prospect Patriot is Frances Perkins. She saw the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory go ablaze in 1911 and her life changed. "The New Deal was born that day," she said. 22 years later she'd be America's first female cabinet member. prospect.org/2026/08/04/a...
Frances Perkins: The Architect of Social Security - The American Prospect
In her words, Frances Perkins, the first woman cabinet secretary, ‘came to Washington to work for God, FDR, and the millions of forgotten, plain, common workingmen.’

SAVE Act in any form would make it harder for people to vote. Nearly half of U.S. citizens — 146 mil people — do not have a passport, 69 mil women don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name, & more than 21 mil American citizens don’t have either of these documents. 1/
📌Susan Collins is voting "no" on the repulsive Blanche because she has been given political cover by Thune. Her vote doesn't matter. This isn't a heroic decision, it is pure politics, and whether anybody wants to admit it or not it's how she has survived like a parasite in that chamber for 30 years.

Van Jones is on CNN pretending AIPAC is some victim and Abdul is evil for wanting to embargo them after they livestreamed a genocide.
Congress likes to pretend they're helpless in the wake of Citizens United, but all it would take is a law publicly funding all federal elections with a cap of $250k for each candidate who garners 5,000 signatures, ranked choice voting and help pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
The world would be a lot better place if all the men who hate women stopped trying to fuck/own them and fucked each other instead.
Please spread the word- We need to push our state reps to pass the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, NPVIC, to eliminate the unfair advantage the electoral college gives to the GOP & make every vote count. Thank you @hcrichardson & @benwikler!! youtube.com/shorts/tiigo...
