The Governor rejected it for '24 and the #IAlegis failed to ensure Iowa participates in '25. But #SummerEBT is still a smart choice, and we need to keep pushing for it. Here's a quick summary of the differences between Summer EBT and the Gov's far less helpful proposal.
GOP State Senator Jason Schultz just pulled out the "heated sidewalks" lie from 2010 (!) during the Iowa Senate debate on a proposed constitutional amendment to require a flat income tax. Republicans campaigned for #ialegis on this lie for years. bleedingheartland.com/2010/10/06/hea…

This would be one place to start on fixing Iowa’s pathetic minimum wage.

Hills Elementary School, south of Iowa City, is being forced to close next yr as Gov. Reynolds and the GOP legislature push their anti-public schools agenda. The Iowa City Board shared that vouchers and years of underfunding are largely to blame for this closure. #VoteBlue2024
Taxing the rich remains popular across party lines. 69% of registered voters in seven swing states said they favor higher taxes on billionaires. And the poll found the same support for higher income taxes on people who make more than $400,000. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
A couple can now leave their kids $28 million before any estate tax kicks in at all. This is why inequality keeps getting worse. My latest with the always-brilliant @NaomiAWalker in @CNNOpinion cnn.com/2024/03/15/opi…

While many states have spent recent years debating damaging tax cuts that disproportionately help the rich, more forward-thinking lawmakers have improved tax equity by raising new revenue from the wealthy and creating or expanding refundable tax credits. itep.org/moving-the-nee…
Staggering tax cuts for corporations under the Trump tax law. Don't listen to me, listen to The Guardian. theguardian.com/business/2024/…
Millionaires & billionaires should pay #SocialSecurity tax ALL year on ALL income like the rest of us. Right now, they only pay on the first $168k and stop in March. We can fix this. See our NEW #ScrapTheCap analysis by CEPR’s @emmacurchin. bit.ly/ScrapTheCap24
In the first 5 years after the Trump tax law took effect: 342 corporations paid an average effective income tax rate of just 14.1%. 55 corporations paid effective rates of less than 5%. 109 corporations paid zero federal tax in at least one year. itep.org/corporate-tax-…

Help me understand, Governor. You think I should be able to *not* rent to biracial couple b/c of my deeply help religious beliefs? Or not serve Blacks in my cafe b/c of my deeply held religious beliefs? Or not teach Jewish kids b/c of my deeply held religious beliefs?⤵️

@DavidCayJ In the interest of accuracy, it should be referred to as "the Republican Supreme Court," just like we have a Democratic Senate and Republican House. There's no point in pretending this is a neutral body.

WTF, I suspect that a pregnancy test was also not part of the physical. On what basis did NPR decide that a Biden physical should include a cognitive test? Is their reporter an expert on mental health who determined there is an important issue here or are they just MAGA?
