Nearly a year out from when the One Big Beautiful Bill passed and we can already see it for what it really is, a no strings attached giveaway to corporations and billionaires.

Next stop - DC: secure.actblue.com/donate/linds...

All session Iowa Republicans Legislators have had no problem passing culture war crap while in the 23rd hour of session they still don’t have a plan for what they’ve told voters their priorities are… 🤦‍♂️

I have stood up for Iowa's workers on the floor of the Iowa House and will continue to do so on the floor of the US House if elected.

Lindsay James is going to flip IA02. Trump Handmaid and current rep Ashley Hinson is running for the Senate because R+4 is going to be D+3 this year.

"Centrist legalism becomes the most effective defense the Roberts Court has. More effective, by a mile, than anything on offer by conservatives on X." Great stuff @beaubaumann.bsky.social bbaumann.substack.com/p/its-a-real...

Good on @lindsay4iowa.bsky.social for disclosing the initial vote result beside the pushed result. This candor is what we want in a rep. IA02 is R+4. She is going to win.

This term we have added Alito Maps and Kavanaugh Stops to the Supreme Court lexicon.

4. Kagan explains this well, but what's perhaps most galling about Callais is how the majority effectively overrules Congress's judgment about how best to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments, as it did in Shelby County. This extreme judicial activism is a huge threat to democratic self-governance.

100%. Until the Supreme Court is reformed and the corrupt members removed, nothing else matters because the Supreme Court and its corrupt members will just stand in the way of everything else. Any Democrat who can't get behind that simple fact should leave politics now.

#RighttoRepair PASSED the Iowa House today! Big credit to @jdscholten.bsky.social for educating so many people, and putting in, consistently, years of work to keep this idea from dying. This vote is largely thanks to all his efforts!

It feels like King Charles is dragging Trump, politely and subtilely, with every paragraph.

I am honored to receive Iowa State Council of Machinists' endorsement! Predatory corporations have ruled Washington for too long. It’s time for someone to fight for working Iowa families.

No. Don’t touch another thing.

This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.

Nauseating. The Kennedy Center is Trump’s toy now and he is destroying it, like everything else he puts his tiny hands on. 🎁

Our first TV ad is out now. Iowans feel like they're pushing uphill, and I know exactly what that feels like. Together, we can push for change.

Josh is right. He can win.

Trina is running against the chud who represents BWCA and thinks mining is a good idea. (Alt text won’t save, so here it is: Facebook post by Trina Swanson, Trina for Congress.com, opposing mining in the Boundary Waters.)

It’s been a strategic disaster for parts of the Democratic Party to embrace anti-democratic big tech bros. It’s also been a humiliating self-own. My new piece for @newrepublic.com: newrepublic.com/article/2087...

70% of Minnesotans do NOT want copper nickel mining near the Boundary Waters. The Senate has a chance to do right by them by leaving the mining moratorium in place.

Thank you Senator Tina @smith.senate.gov The Boundary Waters are Minnesota’s Yellowstone, its Grand Canyon, its ANWR. Let’s not let a foreign mining company dump and run.

Where is @amyklobuchar.com?

My Republican opponent admitted that the policies coming from DC are hurting our rural healthcare providers. The same policies that just a couple of months ago he was touting and pledging his full support for. I’m proud of my 8 year record fighting for affordable healthcare.

My commitment to lowering costs for maternal healthcare began 6 years ago, long before the bangs made their appearance. I am going to Washington to fight for maternal healthcare. Both to lower the costs, and to ensure women have the ability to make their own decisions

I'm the only candidate in this primary who has ever even run against a Republican, let alone beaten one. This poll shows what we've known: Iowa is in play and I am the only one who can flip this seat.

If you are trying to make up your mind about who to vote for in the Iowa Senate primary, I recommend this two-part essay by veteran journalists Robert Leonard and Andy Kopsa. There is a reason Ashley Hinson is salivating over running against Zach Wahls. open.substack.com/pub/rleonard...

Noel is always well worth reading, but this one is a scorcher.

I’m incredibly excited to announce my endorsement from the Iowa AFL-CIO. Working Iowans are tired of the corruption in DC leading to impossible financial choices for their families. I look forward to going to Washington and fighting to increase wages and bring down costs

How I first heard about Victor Orban…

Thank you to @whitehouse.senate.gov for co-hosting a conversation about the connection between extreme weather events and insurance prices. Climate change is jacking up insurance costs for homes and farms – we need a solution or working class people will keep paying the price.

Eric Swalwell sent 3 young attractive women staffers to Iowa to help @jdscholten.bsky.social in 2018. They stayed with us, and all appeared to genuinely like and respect @ericswalwell.bsky.social, and talked about how much they liked working for him.

With healthcare costs already on the rise, this is the last thing Iowans need

I really like this lady. We can have her instead of Ashley Hinson. 🙏

So grateful to have @endcitizensunited.bsky.social joining my team to flip this open seat in IA-02! Together I know we can begin helping working families build the lives they know we deserve!

10 years ago today, Iowa privatized its Medicaid system – a disastrous decision that continues to hurt Iowans. Corporations maximizing profits + denying care to the most vulnerable made me run for office, and I will always fight for affordable & accessible health care for all. https://bit.ly/486kxvE

3 more Iowa hospitals are at risk of closing because of the Medicaid cuts Ashley Hinson voted for, including one in her district, one in my hometown of Council Bluffs, and another one in Ottumwa. This is unacceptable. https://www.citizen.org/article/big-ugly-threat/

About that election rigging we keep hearing about….

In fairness it’s not like the consequences of having a mad king unilaterally take the country to war on a whim were so incredibly obvious that you could see it coming from the 18th and 19th centuries www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

“A number of months from now,” what? Did Vlad tell him the Russians are going to invade Poland and he’s blurting it out?

On National Ag Day, don’t just say “we support farmers.” Address the issues: bad, status quo federal policy and an industry-wide monopoly problem continue to hurt us. We need reforms that center around making the producer, their communities and consumers healthier. 🇺🇸

We're taking Tom Harkin's seat back so Iowa can once again have a Senator who is fighting for the people.

Today we passed SF572 which bans Russia, North Korea and China from owning hospitals and care facilities in Iowa. I had an amendment adding meatpacking facilities to the bill. House Republicans voted it down to continue to allow China to own 1 in 4 hogs in this country.
