We need #ialegis to tackle actual problems in this state - and we owe it to older Iowans. Never too late to append our nursing home bills to a budget bill, is it, @SenClaireCelsi? Nursing home staff levels in Iowa among the worst tinyurl.com/297272jq
Speaker Pat Grassley is purposely protecting pedophiles by not running the Boyscout bill. The bill has to be signed by the Governor tomorrow.
Why is Speaker Pat Grassley holding up a bill to help hundreds of Iowa survivors of child sex abuse? Who is he protecting? Certainly not children. It’s time to follow the bipartisan lead of the Iowa Senate and act before the deadline.

The consequences are real and immediate. Iowa has already lost nearly 350 educators thanks to Gov. Reynolds’ dismantling of Area Education Agencies. Our kids, families, and communities are worse off because of it. #ialegis desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…

Iowans should pay attention when Congress takes up the new farm bill. One point of contention will be continuing the so-called federal crop insurance program, which actually is a **guaranteed income** program for producers who raise certain crops. Think corn and soybeans.

Pathological liar Mike Johnson gets fact-checked with a Community Note.
The Iowa Senate passed this bill with unanimous support. This is not a tough decision: Name one reason why Iowa survivors should receive less compensation in the largest child sex abuse case in US history because their abuse occurred w/in borders of Iowa. thegazette.com/state-governme…

Gov. Kim Reynolds rejected $29 million in aid to feed 242,000 Iowa children this summer. Instead, she’s offering just $900K in competitive grants that will reach just a fraction of kids in need. Our children deserve better. #ialegis

Chevron reported $21.37B in profit last year, and received $2.3B in subsidies. Taxpayers gave them $2.3B in profit. We could provide free lunch to every student in the US for what we give away as subsidies to Big Oil each year. So who’s the “welfare queen” scamming the system?

@janice4iowa @LauraRBelin @SenClaireCelsi And yet they wasted so much time and money going after AEAs all to further dismantle schools in Iowa. Then they wonder why there's a brain drain.
Posting for no reason. No reason at all…
REALITY CHECK: 1. Schools across Iowa are closing or cutting staff & budgets thanks to years of underfunding our public schools. 2. Vouchers are handing $84 million in tax dollars to families that could already afford private schools that can turn away students for any reason.
When it comes to education, Iowans can count on Republicans. We’ve delivered: - more choice for parents & students - increased funding & flexibility for schools - higher salaries for starting teachers - enhanced school safety measures Democrats have turned their backs on…
Imagine if that money instead went to public schools and feeding kids and/or other things such as cancer research and improving nursing home conditions…
New from @Rushthewriter: Iowa has committed nearly $180 million in taxpayer funds to support private school tuition in the 2024-25 school year, which is almost $50 million more than the initial Iowa Legislative Service Agency projection. iowastartingline.com/2024/04/24/iow…
If you consider yourself fiscally conservative, you cannot stand for school vouchers. They destroy state budgets.
The Iowa House is now debating the "standings" bill, which is the final appropriations bill for FY2025. Democrat Molly Buck @MollyforAnkeny is offering an amendment to take out the $32.5 million funding cut for Area Education Agencies.
Scarcely a day goes by that I do not hear of a nightmare situation in even "the best" of Senior Care facilities. Shame on Governor Reynolds and the Republican legislators for ignoring this significant problem while approving solutions looking for a problem throughout this session
IA ranks 6th in the nation for nursing home staffing violations, putting seniors at risk as some wait hrs for care when turning on call lights. This news comes after Senate Repubs refused advocates’ and Democratic lawmakers’ requests to investigate the nursing home crisis.
This should have passed. It’s the least we can do for older Iowans in nursing homes.
Senate Democrats have been fighting all session long for accountability and oversight in Iowa nursing homes. Tonight, once again, Senate Republicans refused to act when given a chance to address the elder-care crisis. #ialegis
A class act. Thank you for a lifetime of service! 🙏👏
On Tuesday, State Senator Pam Jochum was honored in a Senate Resolution ahead of her retirement at the end of this term. Thank you, Senator Jochum for over three decades of representing Dubuque & working to build a better future for every Iowan.
.@CindyWinckler listing the disappointments of the Education budget—this budget prioritizes large increases in state bureaucracy at the expense of our kids…also includes policy to criminally punish parents for absenteeism.
fueling up for more debate!
Lawmakers have until the end of tomorrow to pass & sign the bill into law. Otherwise, Iowa survivors will receive a fraction of the awards they otherwise would be entitled to. The Senate unanimously passed the bill last week & being held up by House GOP. thegazette.com/state-governme…
.@SenClaireCelsi proposed an amendment to the Admin and Reg budget to hire 30 more nursing home inspectors. Nothing substantial has been done in this session to address the nursing home crisis and protect older Iowans.
Senator Winckler talking about the many areas that the education budget should be funding and is not - particularly when it comes to preparing Iowans for high need areas in our workforce.
I've heard Sarah Corkery, Democratic candidate for Congress, will attend EcoFest at NewBo Market in Cedar Rapids this Saturday, April 20, starting at 10 am. Glad she'll be there. It's a fun community event. We need more action for a sustainable future. ecofestcr.org

It's getting messy in the Iowa Senate as they debate the bill to ban basic income programs. Sen. Tony Bisignano read from a list of legislators (or their family members) who receive farm subsidies. He started with the Grassleys.
