"Health officials advise rinsing off after being in Iowa waterways, avoiding dunking heads under the surface, and do not ingest the water." Maybe we shouldn't hand over the state to big ag?

Sounds like this dude is trying to explain the Republican way of gathering information for voting. "See candidates when we tell you, not when or how you want." Yet another attempt to take away our freedoms.

This week, the Cedar Rapids Gazette has been covering the candidates in the June 2 primary. I don't take that coverage for granted. Although we voted early, it is important to follow these stories. Subscribe to your local paper.

Please share far and wide. Democrats with tickets being turned away from Ashley Hinson event. #iowa

Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

This is the third clinic closure in Southeastern Iowa this year — and it’s happening after government insiders voted for a budget bill that threatens health care for 110,000 Iowans and put rural hospitals at risk. Enough is enough. https://bit.ly/4nFODN4
