#HeyIowa - All our Iowa Sens Reps are Trump enablers who do nothing to make life better for the vast majority of us. Whatever they say, nothing changes the facts that food costs MORE at HyVee, gas is OVER $3.00, wind energy is UNDER ATTACK, and health insurance premiums in 2026 could DOUBLE per KFF

#HeyIowa - The thousands of my fellow Iowans who gathered on No Kings Day were there solely because we love democracy and America. None of us were paid to be there. Joni Ernst knows this but spews MAGA lies so easily. 3,000 Dubuquers said No King Trump

#HeyIowa Strong words from Iowa City’s No Kings March. Look at that long line of patriotic Americans marching for democracy

Some further reflections from the No Kings rally in Iowa City yesterday, including the wise words of Thomas Paine:

Nope. Not true. Not one iota of truth in any of these statements. All ridiculous lies.

Listen to this farmer explain how Trump is screwing US farmers by sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina so Argentinians can sell soybeans to China. As the farmer in the video says, why would China ever buy from US again? Please, farmers, do not vote for Trump/his supporters again.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

📍Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Excellent post with clear reporting on how Trump is screwing US farmers by sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina so Argentinians can sell soybeans to China. As the farmer in the video says, why would China ever buy from US again? Please, farmers, do not vote for Trump/his supporters again.
