Far-right Republicans slammed the brakes on our government because Democrats refused to let them gut the Affordable Care Act — and jack up our health care premiums by up to 75%.

We deserve a government that works for us — not one run by puppet politicians who want to dismantle our healthcare.

"To see essentially an administration try to bully comedy and limit what is said is infuriating and scary," Jordan Klepper told LV. "So to be able to come into work and talk about that is a real joy."

The 'Daily Show' correspondent/co-host will perform at Cedar Rapids' Paramount Theatre on Friday.
Five questions with Jordan Klepper of 'The Daily Show', a MAGA mediator during Iowa caucuses, Jan. 6 and Trump's 'weird, dark' second term - Little Village
Jordan Klepper is more determined than ever to wrap his mind around the MAGA mindset. A Daily Show correspondent since 2014 (with a two-year hiatus at the start of Trump's first term that yielded the ...

This. Its why they hate universities, libraries, history, journalism, decency, protest and truth. Lies cannot stand against truth. They know this.

Oregon and Portland want to take discovery from Trump, over the government's objections.

In a status report, they argue that DOJ's comments about Trump's social media posts make it necessary.

These need to be identifiers on every post regarding what's happening! Coordination is imperative.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

Good discussion with @gregsargent.bsky.social on No Kings and the right to protest: "They’re trying to turn it into something really evil. But that’s because they’re scared of it, and they know it turns public opinion... I think they should be worried, because nothing they’re doing is popular."

If Republicans are going to label you a terrorist for peacefully protesting Trump's failing presidency, abuses of power, and treatment of blue America as an enemy nation, let's turn out in even bigger numbers.

On the pod, @jilldlawrence.bsky.social and me on this:

Hey Speaker Johnson, swear in Adelita Grijalva. Or are you too scared that Trump and your other GOP buddies are in the Epstein files?

Affordable housing is a big problem in Iowa and will be a priority for me in Congress.

Over the past couple of years, I have been gathering ideas from local governments, nonprofits, and other experts to develop practical solutions and inform my agenda.

This week: Scott County.
