Trade not aid!!! Farmers need markets.

Thank you to all of the organizers of the NW Iowa Dinner with Democrats and to all of the candidates who made it to LeMars! 🇺🇸

U.S. soybean farmers should be livid over the Argentina bailout!!! U.S. offers "$200 billion in economic support to Argentina while that country drops its soybean export taxes to sell 20 shiploads of Argentine soybeans to China in just two days." www.morningagclips.com/asa-responds...

@farmaid.org continues to be very meaningful to me. 🙏 to @stateinnovation.org for bringing me into this special community & to all of the people who put on the conference & the concert! Beautiful to see so many people who care deeply about our food, the land & the rural way of life.

More John Deere layoffs in Iowa.

What’s happening with soybeans ✅ 61% of world soybeans go to 🇨🇳 ✅ 25% of 🇺🇸 soybeans have previously gone to 🇨🇳 ✅ 🇨🇳 just bought record amount of soybeans, 0 from 🇺🇸 ✅ Our prices are about 20% hirer due to retaliatory tariffs 500,000 soybean farmers in the 🇺🇸 need markets & a level playing field! 🇺🇸

To go along with being in an Ag recession.

Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary to my mom and dad!!! ❤️

China bought a record amount of soybeans… NONE from the U.S. 😔 In Iowa, soybean farmers have spent decades building a relationship with China. Because of Trump’s trade war(s), we’ve lost the market and they’re now coming from Brazil. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

An article that shaped my life talked about life isn’t about the pursuit of happiness, it’s about the pursuit of meaning. We have too many people who are disaffected and incredibly online. We need to find common meaning! 🇺🇸

This morning, I’m attending Growing Community Connections’ annual presentation of Siouxland’s 2025 Community Well-Being Report.

🇺🇸

I’m honored to be selected for The Obama Foundation’s Leaders program. I’m excited to build a network of change makers who are working towards a more just, equitable, and hopeful future for all.

Today is the first day for me with no baseball, campaign obligations or legislative work since mid-April…

Iowa’s economy being in the “criminal justice” section of the Sioux City Journal is on point.

End of the season beers with the boys… ⚾️😭

Good luck tonight to @jdscholten.bsky.social & the #SiouxCity #Explorers! Live now! Sadly the AAbaseball stream has the Sioux Falls auctioneer announcer but turn the audio off and it’s great! www.aabaseball.tv/events/sioux...

Love this @Politico piece mostly about @jdscholten.bsky.social and @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, with a whiff of Chuck Schumer. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

"Democrats need to stop sounding 'like you’ve been put through 17 rounds of approvals with consultants who haven’t knocked a door in 20 years,' strategist April Glick Pulito told me." Great piece from @michaelkruse.bsky.social + I don't just say that bc I'm in it (also more baseball candidates plz)

Great piece on @jdscholten.bsky.social, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, and Iowa's U.S. Senate race by @michaelkruse.bsky.social: #IASen www.politico.com/news/magazin...

When you have a private jet administration… First, tax breaks for private jet buyers (in the Billionaire Bailout Bill) and now this. 👎

J.D. Scholten, one of two rural Democrats in the Iowa State House, shares his plan to revive rural communities and to help farmers regain independence from multinational corporations. barnraisingmedia.com/a-winning-fo...

Regular Season is over. Game 1 of the first round of playoffs is tonight. We play Sioux Falls in a best of 3 series. Friday will be in Sioux City (and Saturday, if needed). Go X’s!!!⚾️

Congrats to Big Ag on getting your candidate. Farmers and farming communities need a champion right now, this is not it.

Game 100. Last game of the regular season for the 1st place Sioux City Explorers ⚾️

Thank you to the workers who make our country run! Happy Labor Day 🇺🇸✊

Last start of the year. You never know what tomorrow holds… ⚾️ For folks not in Winnipeg, you can stream for free on AA Baseball TV.

So excited to be starting tomorrow night for the Sioux City Explorers in Winnipeg! Last start of the regular season. ⚾️

Things keep getting better in Iowa.

Trump’s tariffs have destroyed the soybean market. The big winner is Brazil, not American farmers…

Credit for the Win: 1) Catelin Drey 2) Iowa State Senate Dems 3) Woodbury County Democrats . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . National Groups who are trying exaggerate their efforts

Swung by the Senator-elect Drey victory party! So proud of Catelin. What an amazing campaign and I’m excited for Iowa Senate District 1 to have a great representation. I’m excited to not be the only Democrat in the Iowa Legislature in the 42 counties of NW and North Central Iowa anymore!!!

Don’t sleep on Iowa! 🇺🇸

🚨 We flipped an Iowa State Senate seat in a special election tonight!!! 🚨 Congrats to Senator-elect Drey!!! 🇺🇸

TOMORROW we can help elect Catelin Drey to the State Senate! Thank you to everyone who has been working hard in Woodbury County to turn out the vote. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Amazing to see how many people came out this Saturday to help Catelin Drey door knock!!! Special Election (Iowa State Senate, District 1) is on Tuesday! 🇺🇸

Have you heard about the mom who can break a veto-proof supermajority in the Iowa Senate? Share this video with every Iowan you know! Let's get Catelin Drey a set in the Iowa Senate!

Grateful to Doug Burns for highlighting our Fair Game plan for farmers. I will still be fighting for rural Iowa even if I’m not a Senate candidate.

Josh and I are friends and I've known him for years, but in case you don't know him yet, check this out… bsky.app/profile/josh...

An important update 👉 Today I'm suspending my campaign and endorsing Josh Turek. We can’t sit by while healthcare is ripped from millions of Americans and there’s no better Democrat in Iowa to hold Joni to account for her cruelty than my friend + fighter State Rep. Josh Turek.

Nearly every Veterans Affairs hospital faces severe shortages now as a result of Trump administration cuts - 94% face doctor shortages and 79% face nurse shortages. This problem will only worsen if no action is taken to protect our veterans. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Great to be back at the Wing Ding last night. So many friends! 🇺🇸

No one went to jail for the 2008 Wall St financial crisis. No one from Pharma has gone to jail for starting the opioid crisis. Jeffrey Epstein matters because it shows we have two different justice systems - one for the billionaires and another for the rest of us.

How do farmers in rural Iowa feel about healthcare? Now on andrewyang.com/podcast US Senate candidate, Dem Iowa state representative and professional pitcher @jdscholten.bsky.social joins to talk winning in a rural area and what he finds most people agree on.

I was honored to announce my Fair Game for Farmers plan at LaVon Griffieon’s century old farm.

Great to see labor on the rise with the 4th Starbucks to form a union in Iowa. www.weareiowa.com/article/mone...

🚨 IPERS and public pensions are under attack. 🚨 Gov. Reynolds’ DOGE Taskforce just recommended gutting retirement security for 470,000+ Iowans. This is a massive threat to workers and our economy. Stop the attack on IPERs. ✍️ Add your name: tinyurl.com/mrk2anzc
