Our government fails to stand for civil rights or work for its people My full remarks on The Civil Rights Removal Act youtu.be/e5BmebxmA2w?...

I wanted to talk to the Iowans affected by the Civil Rights Removal Act These are their stories and why they came to the Capitol www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2mkp9K3/

Congress is so full of NPCs that if you walked up to your Congressman there's a decent chance they'd respond with, "Patrolling the Mojave Wasteland almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter." #donothingcongress #doge #falloutnewvegas

Here are some of Iowans' top issues. Turns out these are "too hard", so here's what the GOP are up to instead. #iowapolitics #dragisnotacrime

Today, instead of working on bills that improve the lives of Iowans, a GOP House advanced a ban on drag. The language is so broad and encompassing it effectively makes being transgender a felony. Hundreds of Iowans came out to say to the GOP "Drag is not a crime." #iowapolitics #dragisnotacrime

2 years ago when Mike Pence came to bully queer kids to run for President - we were there to greet him

Republicans talk a big game on property taxes, but the reality is their failure to fund public schools means school districts have to raise taxes to balance the budget. As my colleague @mcburneyforiowa.bsky.social made clear on the floor

Debate on School Funding wrapped up. Iowa Republicans continue to underfund our schools and raise your property taxes. #iowapolitics

“Be careful. When a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health.” Albert Camus

You know, Kim Reynolds is the governor, but I'm not sure she lives here.

Our public schools have been critically underfunded for over a decade. Gov. Reynolds continues that trend by asking for only a 2% increase. Democrats are fighting for a necessary 5% increase. Now is the time to make your voices heard! www.legis.iowa.gov/committees/p...

So, Governor Reynolds looks at the massive privacy violations, data breaches, and departmental chaos that DOGE has unleashed and says, "Yes, some of that please." Listen, you want to make government more efficient then #fireelon #impeachmusk

I find it ironic that the people shouting the most for "meritocracy" are the world's biggest nepo babies.

NEW BILLS SUBMITTED The first bill- Expanding the definition of cancer as it relates to public employees, specifically firefighters and police officers. The second-A bill for refunding Apartment Rental Application Fees. The third bill HF 243- to raise compensation for public defenders.

Reminder DOGE is not a Federal Agency created and funded by Congress. DOGE at best a task force and Musk is a private citizen. He does not have clearance or authority to access such data. No one should take his access to America's most vital data at Face Value. Congress, do your damn jobs

Congress should immediately demand answers from Elon Musk as to his unconstitutional acquisition of data from the US Treasury. At a minimum, this constitutes the Largest data breech in US History and it is incumbent upon our leaders to know who has the data and if Federal Laws have been broken.

1/2🚨Gov Kim Reynolds is planning to strip Trans Iowans of their civil rights protections under the Iowa Civil Rights Act. They intend to move this quickly through the legislature possibly in the coming days. It is imperative to contact the filling people to stop this heinous bill. #transrights

Trans people are still here and we will not be erased #notranserasure

"Well, Grant, we've had the devil's own day today, haven't we?" "Yes. Lick 'em tomorrow though." - Grant and Sherman after the disaster of the first day of Shiloh, April 1862. They won the next. Today is one of the bad days in American history. Better days will come.

The work continues and we must redouble our efforts so everyone is equal under the law in rights and dignity #mlkday

TikTok has gone dark. Biden says it's Trump's problem. Trump has concepts of a plan. Meanwhile, 170 million Americans denied access and revenue from the platform. Others are actually migrating to a platform actually owned by the CCP Good job government, you did a thing. #repealthetiktokban

Before the session: Many of my colleagues in the House GOP were anxious to cut taxes. So it must have come as a surprise when Reynolds did not propose any new tax cuts to the state income or sales tax. The reason why? The State of Iowa is losing money and Reynolds wants spend more. #ialegis

Governor Reynolds - We've eliminated red tape and government inefficiencies. Also Governor Reynolds: I want Federal approval to add more red tape and government inefficiencies for Medicare and the unemployed. #conditionofthestate #ialegis

1st Day in the books. Welcome to the Iowa House of Representatives and the 91st General Assembly. #ialegis #peopleoverpolitics #iowahousedems

A day before the legislative session starts and the GOP is attacking Leader Konfrst over education. This tells me: -They plan to take a rusty shiv to public education this year. They want you to forget: -They banned over 4,000 books - Dismantled the AEAs -Their voucher plan will bankrupt Iowa
