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

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

🚨🚨 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.

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.

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...

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…

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...

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

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.

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.

#Iowa Tuesday is school board & local election day! Not sure who’s a friend of public education? Check out this school board voter guide to help: schoolboardvoterguide.org

You can make a huge impact tomorrow by voting in school board & city elections! Check out this guide for friends of public education & be sure to vote tomorrow from 7 AM - 8 PM! schoolboardvoterguide.org

Looking for a costume that’s truly horrifying? We’ve got you covered! #IA01

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.

There’s a lot coming up, so make sure to check out our statewide events calendar to stay up-to-date! Some highlights include a rural-focused town hall in DeWitt, a poster-making event in Council Bluffs, and a school-board-focused virtual briefing this Friday. Find more info here:

🚨 Iowa farmers are getting screwed over by Trump—again. 🚨 While he pushes to import beef from Argentina, hardworking farmers like Berleen—already crushed by Trump’s trade wars and tariffs—are left to watch their livelihoods vanish. bit.ly/3WmO4Ls

Thanks to Dr. Thomas for standing with Iowans facing huge health insurance premium hikes if Congress does nothing. This isn’t politics, it’s about real lives on the line. We need action, not a shutdown or more excuses from our Iowa representatives.

Reminder: Rep. Zach Nunn still has NOT held a public town hall! House Republicans have been in recess for weeks, so there’s no excuse. Iowans are ready to talk about your shutdown & support of Trump tariffs, why aren’t you?! Sign this petition to tell Nunn to stop ghosting constituents:

Did you know: If Renee Hardman wins the seat, she’ll be the first Black woman in Iowa to serve in the State Senate!

Hey Gov. Reynolds, we have a suggestion! Instead of threatening IPERS & forcing teachers to compete for bonuses, why don’t you just pay them more?!

Republicans love to talk about “earning your way.” But when they fail at their jobs, the checks still clear. Imagine any other worker keeping full pay after walking off the job.

Reminder: House Republicans have been on recess for over THREE WEEKS! They went home early instead of avoiding a shutdown and now Iowa families pay the price. #Iowa

The government’s been shut down for THREE WEEKS— and yet somehow, Rep. Miller-Meeks still hasn’t found a single hour to host the in-person town hall she promised back in April… P.S. A telephone “town-hall” so tailored to your talking points it's as if you screened the questions doesn’t count…

“This isn’t complicated. Town halls are part of the job. One great way to avoid catching hell is to refrain from voting for policies that will hurt your constituents… And when the public is displeased, tell it to them straight. Don’t insult their intelligence... Or go with 'When hell freezes over.'"

1/ “When I finally met Senator Ernst, she seemed enthusiastic to talk. But as soon as I mentioned how Medicaid cuts would hurt families like mine, she dismissed my concerns and passed me off to a staffer. She didn’t even listen." www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/10/13/i...

SUNDAY: The popular printing press poster-making workshop with Julie Russell-Steuart is coming to Eastern Iowa! Join to make posters calling out Medicaid cuts, the shutdown, the lack of town halls or rejecting authoritarianism before No Kings! RSVP here: www.mobilize.us/progressiowa...

It's on!!! Kind of!! @progressiowa.bsky.social stepped up to present "Draper & Nunn: The Conversation of the Century." October 17th, 7PM, 1000 Grand Ave Des Moines. Space is limited, so please register: www.mobilize.us/progressiowa... Event goes on even if Zach doesn't show....
