Still marvelous to think that 110,000 people voted in the Iowa Republican caucus, yet it will be interpreted as sending a significant message about America. That's less than a third of the population of Bydgoszcz. (if your response is "where?" then you are making my point)
I am so proud of you, Iowa!! A huge turnout, a big win! An outstanding chant!
"Cheers rang out down the hallway as a bill that would have legalized discrimination against trans and nonbinary Iowans failed to pass an Iowa House subcommittee Wednesday.
...Democratic Rep. Sami Scheetz (D-Cedar Rapids) and Republican Reps. Casey Thomson (R-Charles City) and John Wills (R-Spirit Lake) voted against the bill, while cheers and chants of 'Fuck you, J-Dog'—a reference to Rep. Jeff Shipley, who introduced the bill—rose from the hallway outside the committee room."
I made the mistake of turning on MSNBC for a second right after #Iowa was (surprise 🙄) called for #Trump. They were quoting some of the voters, and those voters were saying that (their) God chose Trump.
Then an MSNBC commentator (rightfully) made the point that nobody running against Trump could possibly compete with that.
At that point, I turned off the TV. I cannot stomach watching one second of this alarming, nauseating BS.
Planned Parenthood of the Heartland went to court Wednesday to block Iowa’s six-week ban, a product of a one-day special session marathon on Tuesday Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) had called for the sole purpose of passing abortion restrictions.
Republicans dont care about stopping school #MassShootings because scaring teachers away from public schools moves the whole US education system closer to privatization, where it's legal to discriminate
‘Selfless and heroic’: #Iowa principal who was wounded in school shooting dies
Early morning in northeastern Iowa. This spot is one of the prettiest farm scenes in the country. If it was anywhere other than Iowa, it would be overrun with photographers every sunrise in the summer. But it is in Iowa, so few go.
Kim Phoung Taylor — wife of #Iowa#Republican Jeremy Taylor — was found #guilty of 52 #criminal counts of 'false voting information', 'fraudulent registration' , and 'fraudulent voting' linked to the 2020 primary.
Surprise, surprise, surprise! Yet another Republican busted for voter fraud. 🤔
I have a hard time reconciling the #Iowa of my youth with the Iowa of today, For example, in the 1970s Republican Gov. Robert Ray (no relation) led the nation in welcoming refugees from the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Today, Republican Gov. Reynolds sends the Iowa National Guard to Texas to help Gov. Abbott prevent asylum seekers from entering the country.
One governor learned something from MLK; the other one didn't.
Hundreds of dead #deer have been spotted in Southeast #Iowa over the last month. While some are found on dry land, most turn up close to streams, ponds, and other bodies of water.
Senator #JDVance, Eric Trump, Boris Ephsteyn, his legal adviser; Alina Habba, one of the lawyers from his civil fraud trial; US House Rep #NicoleMalliotakis; Senator #TommyTuberville; & the #Iowa & #Alabama attorneys general.
This is the biggest entourage we’ve seen him with so far.
He must be scared.
Iowa will not participate this summer in a federal program that gives $40 per month to each child in a low-income family to help with food costs while school is out, state officials announced.
#Republicans#hate their own #constituents, and never pass up an opportunity to make their lives more difficult. In #Iowa, they literally want #poor#children to #starve. This isn't hyperbole, either. It's their actual words and policies.
The mayor of #Osceola, #Iowa is urging the 5,500 residents to use bottled #water to stretch the city’s water supply as extreme #drought shrinks its main water source.
Those peaceful #Christians intentionally destroyed a #holiday display by #TheSatanicTemple in the #Iowa State Capitol. Just imagine how these same people would react if #Satanists had trashed a #Christmas display. It would be wall-to-wall emergency coverage on #FoxNews, and Y'all Qaeda would get in their trucks and gather under the town Christmas tree for public acts of outrage. The #FirstAmendment protects us all, not just Christians.
