Spent yesterday out in Calhoun County door knocking for @burnsforiowa.bsky.social with my friend @jdscholten.bsky.social! The winds of change are here, even out in Western Iowa, and it’s time we elect more Democrats up and down the ballot. Support Rachel for House District 7 on December 9th!

Wait. President Trump is IN the Epstein Files?!?!?!?! 🤯 That can’t be good.

I enjoyed spending the day with @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social as we went to Carroll, Sac City, door knocked in Rockwell City and finished things up in Fort Dodge. Josh’s U.S. Senate campaign is building something special here in Iowa! 🇺🇸

Today, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social and I got to door knock for @burnsforiowa.bsky.social today in Rockwell City. Special Election for Iowa House District 7 is on December 9. 🇺🇸

Despite the one good arm, I spent the morning serving cheesy potatoes to veterans. Thank you to HyVee for putting this on every year. Thank you to all of the veterans! 🙏🇺🇸

Here are my committee assignments for the next legislative session starting in January. 🇺🇸

🚨 Tomorrow in Carroll and Fort Dodge you’ll find @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social and me! Come swing by! 🇺🇸

Just thinking about my quote from April… “At the national level, if Schumer is still leader, I don't know if I'm as interested. I think we need generational change, and that's I think part of the thing that's been holding us back in Iowa is the overall Democratic brand.”

Eager for Senate Democrats to start matching the moment. 🇺🇸

First snow of the year here in Sioux City! ❄️

The DOJ should investigate the meatpackers corruption! 🇺🇸

Surgery to repair my left torn bicep went well. Let the healing begin…

In Colorado, they feed children. In Iowa, our Governor turned down (on Xmas Eve) Federal funds to feed kids in the summer… In Colorado, the economy is growing and people are moving there. In Iowa, we have one of the worst economies in the country and kids move away…

Dems need to run everywhere in 2026! Just be yourself and make it about where you’re running. In 2018, I ran for Congress in a district Trump won by 27 and I nearly upset a 20 year incumbent. 2026 has same potential. A chance to expand the map is there! 🇺🇸

While national folks talk about NYC, Virginia, New Jersey and Georgia, my race of the the night is the Avoca, IA City Council where two candidates got 8 votes and the third got 7… Luckily, it was for three spots and all candidates move forward. 🇺🇸

After tonight, expecting to see more Republicans “retire” before next fall.

It’s a beautiful day to go vote! Sioux City, we have City Council and School Board elections today!!! 🗳️ 🇺🇸

🗳️ Today is Election Day in Iowa! Make sure you head to your polling place from 7 am- 8 pm and vote in your local and school board elections! These leaders decide classroom priorities and community services. Find your polling location at: apps.sos.iowa.gov/elections/vo...

Ended the day yesterday at a packed Raccoon Motel in Davenport to support Adam Peters and his campaign launch for Iowa House! 🇺🇸

Started today out by door knocking. If you’re in Council Bluffs, vote Shudak for Mayor on Tuesday! 🇺🇸 🗳️

Kendrick continues to troll Drake… ⚾️

Incredible series. Congratulations to the Dodgers! ⚾️

OMG!!! This game!!! This series!!! Game 7!!! Extra innings!!! ⚾️

November baseball!!! ⚾️ #Game7

“Switch to YouTube TV for all of the games…”

And we will see you tomorrow night…

Thank you to @amyklobuchar.com and @baldwin.senate.gov for taking the time to talk about what losing the healthcare tax cuts means to Iowans. Thank you to Jenny and Lori for sharing their stories, too! www.kcrg.com/2025/10/30/s...

The Art of the Deal, Soybean edition: ✅ Create unnecessary chaos ✅ Get China to buy roughly the same amount of soybeans as before ✅ Pat self on the back

Trump’s America: ✅ Quit feeding the poor ✅ Bankrupt American farmers www.politico.com/live-updates...

I talked to @jdscholten.bsky.social and NE Senate candidate Dan Osborn for this one. prospect.org/2025/10/29/t...

Trump isn’t looking out for consumers. He’s looking out for the packers… America’s monopoly problem continues.

34 years ago tonight, one of the gutsiest pitching performance in MLB history! Jack Morris threw 10 innings of shutout baseball in Game 7 of the 1991 World Series.

To be clear, investing in farmland and “being a soybean farmer” are two different things…

Thank you @rokhanna.bsky.social! I hope House Dems get behind this! 🇺🇸

What you don’t see in this Plan, antitrust? In order for Farmers/Ranchers to survive, they need antitrust enforcement! 🇺🇸 www.usda.gov/sites/defaul...

Ah, yes… Cattle Ranchers who have been doing this their whole life and in many situations for generations are the ones who just don’t understand… 🤦‍♂️

I’m on a farm talking to Iowans about the harvest and how tariffs are impacting them.

While Ashley Hinson is begging pharmaceutical lobbyists for campaign cash, I wonder where @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social is today?

NO KINGS!!! Thank you to everyone who loves this country enough to show up and protest! 🇺🇸

Thank you to the Woodbury Dems for a great Harry Hopkins dinner. One of the many reasons I support @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, his campaign is the only one in the Senate race that showed up. The 4th largest city in Iowa. We need a campaign that shows up! 🇺🇸

Unless it’s breaking up the multinational packers which nearly every one has both announced record profits and have been busted for price-fixing, it won’t work. This is a monopoly problem! Trump promises deal to lower surging beef prices www.axios.com/2025/10/16/t...

$40 Billion to Argentina? It’s bailing out U.S. hedge funds while U.S. taxpayers and American farmers get the short end of the stick. This week’s You’re Probably Getting Screwed. 🇺🇸 open.substack.com/pub/screwed/...

ABC News graphic needs to be updated with it being $40 billion and Trump admitting the bailout won’t benefit the U.S. but it will benefit Trump’s well-connected hedge fund manager friend.

you can't see it as well from the clip of testimony at the hearing, but here's an image from Iowan Jonna Higgins-Freese at the @housedemocrats.bsky.social presser today Her t-shirt reads "One Tough Mother" - and that sure comes across

Oh, wow. Cooking Oil! Well done, sir… 🤦‍♂️
