Reacting to the failing grade, companies say Sierra Club’s mark oversimplifies utility planning. Read more at Iowa Capital Dispatch and follow @iowastartingline.com for more.

It’s cute how she thinks she got us with this post 😭🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Wishing a sweet and joyful Rosh Hashanah to all who celebrate! May this new year bring peace, health, and hope for brighter days ahead. Shana Tova!

Our hearts are with Senator Celsi and her family

Today, we remember September 11, 2001. We honor the lives lost in New York, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, PA. We will never forget the courage of the firefighters, police officers, and first responders who ran toward danger and the sacrifices they made that day.

Violence has no place in democracy. We must stand united in condemning all forms of political violence, no matter the cause or ideology. Democracy is built on dialogue, not destruction.

Jeffrey Epstein's victims share their stories.

We honor workers who keep our communities strong &recognize the essential role unions play in fighting for fairness, dignity, &respect in the workplace. Today is a reminder of the progress workers have made & the work still ahead to ensure everyone has safe conditions, fair pay, &a voice on the job.

There are Labor Day events taking place all over the state over the next few days. Find one near you and show Iowa's workers some much-deserved support!

Joni just trying to sneak this into the Friday news dump on a holiday weekend.

Our deepest condolences to all impacted, and our commitment remains to push for real solutions that honor the lives lost. For those that have experienced these kind of events or similar trauma, know we hare holding space for you.

Congratulations Senator- Elect Drey!!!!

Little fun before the Lone Tree Fall Festival parade this morning!

TX GOP is effectively confining State Rep Nicole Collier inside the Capitol, requiring her to sign a police escort agreement or remain under surveillance, crosses the line into an authoritarian overreach. We stand with Rep Nicole Collier

🚨Let’s send Catelin Drey to Des Moines! Early in-person voting for the special election in Senate District 1 begins tomorrow, Wednesday, Aug. 9.

US Senator Ruben Gallego will be in Iowa City headlining a fundraiser to help our local GOTV plan! We set records getting out the vote in 2024 here in Johnson County, and Sen. Gallego wants to help with our plans for 2026. RSVP: secure.actblue.com/donate/jcdem...

All are welcome to our Central Committee meeting. It is a great way to meet other Democrats, find out what we are working on, and connect with local elected officials. If you want to attend by zoom: please register here us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

This is what grassroots movement looks like in a red state. We are proud to get Democrats elected to represent our county!

Come down and see us at the Johnson County Fair! We have popcorn!

3 successful parades! Thank you Coralville, Oxford, and Hills for hosting some wonderful celebrations! Happy 4th! ♥️🤍💙

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social - you got this! And thank you for doing what you can to delay this! 💪💪💪💪 💙💙💙

It’s almost Independence Day, so let’s channel a little 1996 classic movie energy while we fight for what’s right! We know the House is trying to push through the OBBBA which would hurt working families and Medicaid to line the pockets of billionaires. Let’s have some fun!

Can you imagine being so out of touch that you vote to defund your own hometown hospital? That's exactly what Joni Ernst is doing today.

“Hello, my name is <insert>, I am a constituent in <your city>. I am asking Senator Ernst/Grassley to vote no on OBBBA. You can respond back to me at <your phone number>” Will they call back? Probably not but it’s about making noise and getting their attention.

We won’t get over it.

We said what we said

Just casually checking to see what bills being worked in the House and look what Rep Al Green did today

Our statement regarding the bombing of Iran on Saturday.

Thank you Iowa City Pride for another great festival. We are grateful to celebrate love and the freedom that everyone deserves to be their authentic self.

A little fun before the parade with Mayor Meghann Foster of Coralville! Happy Pride, Iowa City! 🌈

Juneteenth marks the moment in history. It's a powerful reminder of the enduring strength, courage, & resilience of Black communities throughout history. Today, we celebrate not just the end of slavery, but also the ongoing fight for equality, justice, & a world where every voice is heard.

Never thought we would be excited to see Tucker Carlson body Ted Cruz. Is this real life? P

The Iowa GOP's obsession with attacking the LGBTQ+ community and focusing on culture wars over addressing the issues that will improve every Iowan's life will only continue to drive people away from our state.

Art imitates life

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, father figures, stepdads, granddads, and those who show up with love, strength, and support. Today, we celebrate you. To those remembering fathers, becoming fathers, or holding space for complicated feelings, this day is for you, too.

The tragic assassination of Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, has left our nation in shock. Our hearts go out to their family, friends, and colleagues during this unimaginable time. Such violence against public servants undermines the core of our democracy.

Before our No Kings Rally. Quick moment with Johnson County Supervisor Rod Sullivan!

Forecast for tomorrow in D.C. This is quite the sign, right?

Senator Padilla- we stand by you! 💙💙💙

We will be livestreaming form our TikTok account: @jcdems.ia www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

Thank you Indivisible Johnson County and Food & Water Watch for hosting!

Messy breakup is still going strong this A.M. make sure you are calling Joni and Chuck to vote no on OBBBA. Chuck Grassley- Cedar Rapids- (319) 363-6832 Washington D.C.- (202) 224-3744 Joni Ernst - Cedar Rapids - (319) 365-4504 Washington D.C. - (202) 224-3254

Should we start asking Republicans if they are Team Trump or Team Musk? Might be fun 😏

Please join us for our monthly Central Committee meeting. If you are curious about us, please join and bring a friend!

The CBO just released an estimate that Trump’s reckless budget bill will increase the deficit by $2.4 TRILLION.   So much for the fiscal responsibility that Iowa Republicans in D.C. always talk about.

NEW: After devastating winter storms and flooding in April, hard-hit Virginia communities were forced to wait an extra week for federal assistance due to White House incompetence. Every moment matters after a natural disaster.

In addition to calling Joni’s office, we need to be sure Grassley and Miller-Meeks are hearing from us. Once the Senate does their work, it goes back to the House
