It’s not the Peace Prize, but something much more deserved! Yes, Trump, Iowans have named YOU Scrooge of the Year! Want to pass on the title next year? Maybe stop pushing your tariffs that have made it nearly impossible for working families to get by!

AI is the new wild, wild, west – and when MidAmerican expects consumer utilities to climb 13% in the new year and there are already 173,000 households across Iowa behind on their utility payments, it’s clear we are on a dangerous path.

Shoutout to the former Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Martin O’Malley, for keeping pressure on Rep. Ashley Hinson! She voted to cut Social Security last year, but Iowans won’t let her get away with this attack on our earned benefits. #Iowa

RELEASE. ALL. THE. FILES. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU, Reps. Miller-Meeks, Hinson, Nunn & Feenstra!!! www.cnbc.com/2025/12/17/j...

Who teamed up with Rep. Johnson to sneakily gut ACA tax credits with their last-minute “plan”? Spoiler: It’s not the Grinch. It’s another mean one…

Thanks to all who attended our annual Holiday Party! Your support lifts our spirits and powers our work. If you can, please donate to help us stay strong in 2026. We’re grateful you’re with us. secure.actblue.com/donate/2025h...

Many struggle with mental health during the holidays. That’s why I want my fellow Iowans to know they’re not alone. Here are some resources if you’re seeking assistance: namiiowa.org/crisis-info/

Waking up to news of mass shootings shouldn’t be our reality. Lives lost to gun violence are worthy of action, not just thoughts and prayers. It’s time for #GunReformNow.

Rent increases remain one of the biggest burdens for working families. An A+++++ economy would not force people to sacrifice groceries or medical care just to stay housed. This disconnect shows how far removed Trump is from everyday life. People deserve solutions, not self-praise.

1/ Last night at a “Power of Presence” training, dozens of Iowans learned from the Iowa Migrant Movement for Justice how to help protect our neighbors from ICE raids and get connected with organizations that feed our communities.

2/ Thankful for every advocate who attended & many like you coming together to support our fellow Iowans. Thanks to Feed Des Moines, The Supply Hive, and Horizon Line Coffee.

Aren’t you tired of being the sacrifice for Big Pharma and insurance companies?

Something we should all be able to agree on is that SH*T IS EXPENSIVE! But, Trump is trying to convince us that affordability is a “con job.” We think the true con is pretty clear… www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

19 states (including Missouri 🤯) are raising the wage in 2026, but Iowa isn’t one of them. We believe it should be! Do you agree? #Iowa bit.ly/49Yxppw

Rep. Miller-Meeks wants to hide the truth about her support of Trump tariffs, but we won’t let her! Next week, Iowans will deliver a petition against tarrif-yingly high prices this holiday season, but we need you to sign on! 👉 actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-o...

Reminder: Next month, many Iowans will start to pay DOUBLE for their health insurance because Rep. Miller-Meeks refuses to extend ACA health care tax credits. Meanwhile, billionaires will be celebrating their huge tax breaks, courtesy of Miller-Meeks, in the new year…

TOMORROW: Join Iowans for an evening of art and activism! Supplies will be provided — just bring your creativity and a few friends to create art inspired by economic justice and a fair economy. www.mobilize.us/progressiowa...

When we fight, we win! 📢📢📢 Huge shoutout to every nurse, ally, and advocate who showed up yesterday to support unionizing efforts by Unity Point nurses, despite the union-busting campaign in Des Moines. 💪

Thrilled to announce @martinomalley.bsky.social will be our featured speaker at the Progress Iowa Holiday Party on Dec. 11th! Make sure to grab your tickets today! secure.actblue.com/donate/holid...

We can’t wait to see you at our Holiday Party in just over 2 weeks! Have you grabbed your tickets yet?? secure.actblue.com/donate/holid...

Thankful for Feed Des Moines & everyone who came to the brick-painting event for Trans Day of Remembrance last week 💙🤍💗 Looking forward to seeing the art installation & the work to come, ensuring all are welcome in Iowa.

Brand-new activists are discovering political movements – and each other: ‘You feel the camaraderie’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

There’s a huge loophole in the bill to release the Epstein files. Trump’s administration can heavily delay or redact documents due to "active investigations" and "national security". That’s why we must demand elected officials support survivors, not billionaires, and release ALL the Epstein files.

No family should have to suffer this way. Today, we honor Miles. And we demand better. Our leaders must stop using hate as a political tactic, especially when children’s lives are on the line. Hate has no place here, but love must. #TransgenderDayofRemembrance

Hey Rep. Miller-Meeks: Iowans know you are responsible for our health insurance costs DOUBLING next year. That’s why Davenport advocates are demanding you permanently extend ACA tax credits! If you could find the money for billionaire tax cuts, you can find the funds for your constituents. #Iowa

Trump just told Congress not to “waste” time on ACA tax credits. 🚨 But, without them, many Iowa families will soon pay DOUBLE for their health insurance! That’s why today, Iowans like Amber stood against the MAGA war on health care.

You had plenty of time to sign the discharge petition to force a vote, including 100+ days to cosponsor the Epstein Files Transparency Act. But, you did as Trump asked and made victims of sex crimes wait until other representatives had the courage to stand against him.

🚨🚨 Gov. Reynolds just extended the Iowa National Guard’s mission to assist ICE. 🚨🚨 We must take action to stop this cruelty. Call Reynolds at 515-281-5211 & tell her: Immigrants belong in Iowa, ICE does NOT.

Not ONE Iowa representative signed the discharge petition on the Epstein files. It’s time they stop protecting disgusting billionaires when the vote comes up this week. RELEASE. THE. FILES.

SATURDAY: Join the Water Quality Solutions Town Hall to learn about Iowa’s persistent water quality challenges & discuss community solutions! RSVP here: www.eventbrite.com/e/water-qual...

Silence is a choice. Not ONE of Iowa’s representatives signed the petition to force the release of the Epstein files. And, even after another damning update, they refuse to hold Trump accountable. Iowans deserve the truth. RELEASE. THE. FILES. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Hey Iowa Reps, this is NOT the time to celebrate. Iowans are facing skyrocketing health insurance costs because YOU refused to take action & families are still struggling with delayed SNAP benefits. We’re not going to reward you for the end of a shutdown your party created to protect billionaires…

WATCH: #IA01 Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks getting booed over her support of the tariffs that are crushing Iowa farmers. She said she wouldn't do a town hall again until "hell freezes over," and we can see why.

WATCH: Rep. Miller-Meeks just got a huge reality check at her town hall today. 👀👀👀 CLEARLY no one is buying her lies & excuses. But, maybe Iowans will warm up to Trump tariffs and Medicaid cuts when Hell freezes over… @ab21.bsky.social

Reminder: Sen. Grassley just voted to protect Trump’s tariffs to let the plan “work out.” Meanwhile, Iowans are forced to “work out” whether to feed our families or pay rent… #Iowa

HELLO?! Rep. Hinson voted to slash SNAP earlier this year!!! 🚨🚨🚨Yet, now she cares about food aid?! WE’RE NOT BUYING IT! Stop with the finger-pointing & get to work.

37 days. That’s how long Iowa’s representatives have been on vacation, all to keep funding billionaire tax breaks instead of lowering your health care costs.

Rep. Miller-Meeks thinks she can gut health care, SNAP, shut down the government and then ghost us? Iowans will accept that… when hell freezes over. Join me and sign this petition to demand she show up! #Iowa actionnetwork.org/forms/demand...

1/ Are your health insurance premiums skyrocketing? You’re not alone. Iowa’s representatives gave huge tax breaks to billionaires, but when it came time to extend ACA tax credits for everyday Iowans, they did nothing. Rep. Miller-Meeks even shared that this was an “unreasonable demand.”

Today marks 4 WEEKS of the Republican shutdown. That’s 4 weeks that our representatives could’ve been working, but instead they’re leaving many Americans with DOUBLING health insurance costs, a halt to food benefits, and missed paychecks.
