#iowa Englert today 11:30. Doors open 10:30. Beware, there were 2400 attending his event in Omaha, with 800 turned away. If you're going get sign pics and video for sharing on social media. This is important to help grow the movement. Don't engage with trolls.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)

Catch-22 style bureaucratic red tape is what the so-called SAVE Act is all about. "And even many who have the documents would have to find a new way to register to vote." It has passed in the House. Call your senators. Capitol switchboard (202) 224-3121

We need to make sure the so-called SAVE Act (mass vote suppression bill) doesn't happen. Millions of voters could be disenfranchised. It has already passed the House. Criminal penalties and private right of actions if mistakes are made. Call your senators. Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

The water quality in this state is continuously getting worse and efforts to improve it continue to be stymied. Clean water for drinking and recreation should be a right guaranteed to all Iowans.
