"Trump is not popular.He’s actually quite unpopular.So I don’t think he can manage this if the opposition is concerted.This is the right thing,really the essential thing to do.A necessary but not sufficient condition of turning back this threat.It’s essential to fight this.And what happens happens."

The federal government is shut down because Republicans insist on ripping away our healthcare and handing Trump another blank check for his illegal power grab. Our job is to hold the GOP accountable and encourage Democrats to keep protecting our healthcare: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...

"Once you tried to overturn the government, throwing fifty right-wing polls into the polling averages is like miniature golf compared to what Trump had done in 2021…But the polling industrial complex defends itself because so many people make money off of interpreting this stuff.”

Had a good time today at the Eastern Iowa Rural Revival and Candidate Forum hosted by Indivisible! It was a great opportunity to speak with and- most importantly- listen to folks from counties including Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Jones, and Muscatine.

Hawkeye pride was in full force at the University of Iowa’s Homecoming Parade! 🎉 The energy was electric, the crowd was unstoppable, and it was incredible to connect with @johnsoncountydems.bsky.social and fellow Hawkeye fans! 💛🖤

Thank you so much to the Henry County Democrats for the kind invitation to join their Meet the Candidates Celebration! It was great to be back in my dad’s family’s hometown of Mount Pleasant!

This. I swear he has taken his best legal strategies from watching Andrew Weissmann or some other legal pundit on MSNBC say, if I was Trump's lawyer I would argue... blah blah blah.. on MSNBC. And be careful what you put into the universe via the internet.

You mean to tell me “get big or get off the farm” policies don’t work when you lose diversity and markets? Shocked!!!

Trump is pouring public money into his authoritarian takeovers of cities while cutting services that working families rely on. We’re standing together against the abuses of power, cruelty, and corruption of this regime. We hope you will join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

We were watching the #Iowa Hawkeye Homecoming Parade, and suddenly, the crowd stopped cheering and started booing loudly. Then, around the corner comes the Trump float. Someone behind me yelled, "Release the Epstien Files," as they passed by. 🤣 🌊
