Higher costs from tariffs, gutted health care and the attacks on American cities don’t give confidence to us… What do you think?

NEW: Gov. Reynolds spent millions of federal dollars on a jet instead of help for Iowans. πŸ‘€πŸ‘€πŸ‘€

She targeted IPERS, starved public schools, and gutted unemployment benefits while living large… Great legacy!!!

Reminder: Over $300 million of your tax dollars are going to private schools this school year. So what about public education? Once again, Iowa Republicans are refusing to give our public schools what they need, leading to more cuts across the state…

Iowa bill advances to ban school-library partnerships over book fears House Study Bill 636 would ban partnerships between schools and public libraries over fears that kids have access to inappropriate books.

Hey Iowa House Republicans: READ THE ROOM! Iowans need: a raise, clean water, and fully-funded public schools. Instead, you're focused on… stopping kids from reading? Seriously?

Medication abortion is safer than Viagra, but you don’t see Iowa Republicans putting restrictions on that…

Tell your senator: Stop attacking our rights and personal decisions!! Stand against the ban on telehealth access for medication abortion NOW.

On Saturday, border patrol agents tackled, beat, and sprayed Alex Pretti before shooting him in the back as he helped a fellow protester. Today, we remember Pretti and uplift the message from his family to spread the truth.

Man killed in Minneapolis by federal agents identified as VA nurse Alex Pretti: β€˜He wanted to help people’ Alex Pretti, 37, worked in the ICU at the Minneapolis VA Health Care System and had assisted on scientific research

This tragedy is a direct result of the cruel and inhumane immigration policies championed by the Trump administration and Iowa’s representatives. We stand in solidarity with Minnesotans demanding justice for Alex Pretti. No family should have to suffer this heartbreak again.

53 years after Roe, reproductive freedom should be guaranteed. Instead, MAGA lawmakers in Iowa banned abortion at 6 weeks & celebrate controlling our bodies while Iowans struggle for healthcare. This isn't leadership, it's dangerous overreach. That's why we fight for real healthcare access for all.

President Donald Trump will return to Iowa for a speech on the economy President Donald Trump will soon return to Iowa where competitive races for governor, Senate and the U.S. House are taking shape.

Just what Iowans need: another Trump visit to tell us how great the economy is. Meanwhile, his tariffs are making it nearly impossible to make ends meet & Iowa’s economic growth is ranked dead last… Thanks Trump!

ACTION NEEDED: An Iowa Senate subcommittee is considering SF2003, a "don't say gay" bill that would BAN teaching about gender identity & sexual orientation for students in all grades, on Wednesday. Please make a public comment against this legislation here: bit.ly/saygayia

Iowa Republicans previously passed a similar law in 2023 for students through sixth grade. These attempts to erase the LGBTQ community are extremely harmful. That’s why we must stand up to statehouse bullies!
