My Gracie crossed the 🌈 bridge this morning. So sudden and very sad. 10 years old. She's in some field now, herding sheep and doing border collie things. Miss you.

A new draft of the farm bill from House Republicans is being used to advance protections for pesticide manufacturers. The proposal includes language that would shield companies from state-level penalties or court rulings if their product labels don’t spell out potential health risks.
House Republicans release new farm bill text
Agriculture Chair Glenn Thompson borrowed some Democratic ideas, but the panel’s ranking member called it a “charade.”

This is not enough. We’re spending $350M on an unaccountable private school voucher program while constitutionally underfunding our public schools. Iowa kids deserve better. Accountability and transparency now. who13.com/news/politic...

I work in a church office and right now there are two bats flying around in the building. If I don't make it out alive, tell my children I love them...🥺

Donald Trump is in Iowa today, and he probably won't mention that Iowa ranks last in nearly every economic and health care metric.
Everywhere I go, Iowans are saying things need to change. Washington is failing our communities, and it’s time we elect a Senator who will put Iowa and Iowans first.

FYI: Dems in the senate can't defund ICE. ICE is funded by the Big Ugly Bill. Shutting down DHS on this vote wouldn't touch ICE, but it would shut down FEMA, TSA, Coast Guard, etc. Shutting down ICE requires taking back Congress in the midterms. Dismantling DHS requires the White House in 2028.

So a CBS Evening News reporter actually did a pretty solid breakdown of the ICE murder video, talking to a former agent who details all the ways Ross messed up. And yet: It didn’t air on the actual show tonight. CBS did post it to YouTube—and it has nearly 800k views already youtu.be/6ywLEESFDu0?...

I stand with the 200 CNH Industrial @uaw.org workers in Burlington, Iowa, fighting against corporate greed to protect their jobs.
CNH raked in $1.3 billion in profit and paid its CEO nearly $20 million last year alone.
CNH can afford to respect its workers and protect these jobs.

I had the opportunity to read "The New Colossus" today by Emma Lazarus. A beautiful sonnet and so fitting for our times. Suggest you read it.
