It’s a dreary day in Iowa, but it felt damn good to vote for @bohannaniowa.bsky.social, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, @petermanforiowa.bsky.social, Nate Willems, Chris Jones and @robsandia.bsky.social! Let’s turn Iowa blue and undo some of this mess.
I rarely watch TV with ads. But watching the big Iowa-Iowa State game, we’re bombarded with GOP lies. They just make up whatever they want, and their base eats it up. If you can, donate to @sarahforiowa.bsky.social, @bohannaniowa.bsky.social and @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social and help Iowa turn blue!

It hasn’t been quite as long of a Republican rule in Iowa, but it sure feels like it has. The damage is done, and people need to stop blaming all the problems on Democrats. Vote blue!
Nothing in my state can be blamed on even one Democrat. Missouri is representative of what Republican “governance” looks like in action. Trust me, you don’t want this…

Not sure how I missed this song before, but it is so fitting today. Every word. “Who’s gonna care if I don’t? Who’s gonna change if I won’t? … When lines of tomorrow are drawn, can I live with the side that I chose to be on?”@marenmorris.bsky.social youtu.be/U4rr6LewdIU?...

At his upcoming hearing, Todd Blanche will have to answer for the corrupt deal he cut with Ghislaine Maxwell. I did a deep dive into federal prison rules so I could show you all the rules that were broken to protect Maxwell, and all the lies Blanche has told about it. youtube.com/shorts/oDgbO...

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

This is going to hit all of us if it hasn’t already. In Iowa and other Midwest states, we depend on advance notice of severe weather like tornadoes and derechos. It’s a major step backward and people will die.
DOGE cut 13% of weather balloon launch sites. Remaining offices delayed morning launches due to staffing cuts. Kansas got 30 minutes warning before EF-2 tornadoes. For decades they've had hours. The NWS said no tornado threat then five hit NOAA says forecasting hasn't been impacted. Kansas disagrees
There’s a heated race in Iowa to see who can beat Ashley Hinson - Josh Turek or Zach Wahls. Great collaboration and reporting by our top independent journalists. I encourage you to read and support their work. open.substack.com/pub/rleonard...

I keep thinking about the people that said Biden was so divisive. Look at what you voted for. This is insane. Are we great now?
Officers in the Minneapolis-area participating in a U.S. immigration enforcement operation can't detain or tear gas peaceful protesters who aren't obstructing authorities, a judge ruled Friday.
Real stories of hunger and how SNAP and related decisions affect real people …
“Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy and the animating force in Republican politics. In short, we are awash in bullshit.”
New in PN: The triumph of bullshit "We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."
Middle school kids walked out to support Dr Ian Roberts in Des Moines.
Great talk. Let’s turn Iowa around! We can do so much better than Kim Reynolds. Follow and support @robsandia.bsky.social
Standing room only for our town hall this morning in Knoxville, Marion County. Thanks to Nicolas and Danielle at Spire Drink Co. for having us and over 80 of our friends.
Funny how Senator Ernst sells this OBBB and leaves out all the devastation it does. Vote for @sageforiowa.bsky.social in 2026!

Every word of this is true. Something is wrong when we allow people to take food away from babies, to take healthcare from seniors, to take life-saving programs from our most vulnerable people. We will push back!!!
Ramming through destructive, evil legislation in the dead of night.

I’m running for Congress because Iowans deserve a Representative who will show up, stand up, and speak out! www.sarahforiowa.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=dz0Q...
This is horrifying. Keep your religious opinions out of school and teach actual health and science.

Holy shit you guys. This ad for Iowa Senate candidate Nathan Sage is f’ng fire. A Marine mechanic raised in a trailer park is about to send Trump humping toady Joni Ernst back to castrating hogs. And we can help him do it. LFG!!! 👇 actl.ink/ntsgcmpln?re... youtu.be/wOYyZYSn_vg?...
The lies flow so freely, it’s disgusting. Watch everyone nod along with her bs. Iowa and the US have gone so far backward it’s sickening. Thanks for the last-minute reporting, Dr Bob.
