It’s a sad day here in Iowa

American Circus indeed!!

👋🏽 Some of what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did just today 👋🏽

Can anybody confirm this? Or is it old news and I missed it? @daniellemoodie.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com

I’m not saying we should all panic. But maybe the government shouldn’t shut down all the systems we have for monitoring this situation. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Kendrick performing “Be Humble”. The visuals were incredible 👏🏾

The measles vaccine has been available since 1963. In 2000, the measles had been declared eliminated in the US. Now, look at us. www.cnn.com/2025/02/07/h...

NEW: Kash Patel was paid $25,000 by a Kremlin-linked filmmaker to promote anti-western propaganda. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

The Federal Government just capped indirect rates for new and existing grants for research at universities at 15%. Capping indirect costs was on page 355 of Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership

"In hindsight, the first year may have been the entire ballgame — even if no one quite knew it at the time..." Really good explainer by Zack Beauchamp here. Worth reading: www.vox.com/politics/398...

@maddow.msnbc.com

@msnbc.com You should interview Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand @robsandia.bsky.social discussing how his office has been targeted so as not to have oversight in Iowa spending as was outlined in our Governor’s testimony to Congress. He will have an interesting perspective. Similar to fired IGs.

This is the scariest for me this week. And believe me we are on a level 10+ of scary. Cue 4NonBlondes. What the F%#k?? Former Coast Guard leader evicted from base housing with three hours notice www.msnbc.com/katy-tur/wat...

“States that voted for Trump last November, on average, use more federal funding in their education apportions than states that voted for former Vice President Harris.” Yup. Ask me how I know… www.axios.com/2025/02/05/t...

I have a serious question. WTF does he do this shit at night? Or late afternoon? JFC.

🤷‍♀️

Here's a fact most Americans don't know: The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is the largest purchaser of wine by dollar value in the world. The LCBO has shut the flow of all American beer, wine, spirits. We will drink "Freedom wines" from our allies and beer from our communities.

Someone just used the term “Trump Yeehawdists” and that’s brilliant.

US Senate and House of Representatives! You sit back and watch this train wreck and not do anything = malpractice and possible criminal activities if you do nothing or encourage this behavior. You are the governing body. You have a responsibility. Do something!

Thank you Texas knife guy for having character. Her face is priceless. “Oh? Ok!”

OMFG! Do you all understand what this means?

Trump’s Guantanamo migrant plan evokes a dark history When we “concentrate” a group of people to a “camp” it’s called a CONCENTRATION CAMP.

All the coughing and nose blowing during the HHS Secretary confirmation hearing is some kind of crazy irony for me. #pandemiccoming

I can’t listen to his voice anymore in these confirmation hearings. I swear the dude has sucked too hard on a crack pipe. Oh wait I mean, “heroin addict”. And don’t come at me. Cuz I’m over it all. This is like watching a giant circle jerk that I accidentally stumbled across on the internet.

@booker.senate.gov please tell me you are not voting for RFK,Jr as HHS Secretary. Where is “Democrat” leadership?

Great story and worth the watch. Oh and two of my SHE-Ros on one show @insidewithpsaki.msnbc.com @warren.senate.gov

If you aren’t watching @thebeat.msnbc.com’s segment on protest songs, you are missing out. Rolling Stone’s feature story reviewed. Worth the watch

We currently have: + a reality TV shrink going on ICE raids + an MTV Road Rules alum up for Transportation Sec’y + a Saturday FOX talk show host as Defense Sec’y + a reality TV game show host as President How do I change the channel? 😩

No this isn't about immigration. Other countries refused the Trump regime's bullshit deportation flights. This is about attacking Columbia's first left leaning President in our modern era.

Price of eggs ⬆️65%. So many chickens culled. MN now requiring all hospital admits to be tested for bird flu. Those in charge of our government need to form a plan NOW to protect us and our food supply. #Whatstheplan

I’m so confused. More and more information coming out about Hegeseth. Is there a “scale tip” that will work? Like this “one” thing will do it? PEOPLE 👏🏼 THIS 👏🏼 IS 👏🏼 ‘MERICA 👏🏼 IN 👏🏼 2025. The scales are broken!! We are in the FO part of FAFO.

As an Iowan, there is no way the state could “fund” a disaster without Federal funds. #FAFO

Ahem…!

The lastest removal from my playlists. What the hell is going on!!!?

All these MAGAs still think he gives two shits about them. This is an abusive relationship. There are hotlines for this.

When I taught The Diary of Anne Frank, my students would always ask, “How could people let that happen? I would have done ____.” Look around, friends. Now is the time to do what you said you would have done.

Senator Gary Peters to Pete Hegseth: "I don't think there's a board of directors in America that would hire you as a CEO...you talk about standards...do you think that the way to raise the minimum standards of the people who serve us is to lower the standards for the Secretary of Defense?" 🎤

How can they not see Hegeseth is the epitome of DEI - unqualified for the job?
