Today we supported Iowa landowners and private property rights by passing HF 2664. #ialegis
The rumors are flying today & future of AEAs could be decided as soon as TOMORROW! Contact your State Rep ASAP! #PeopleOverPolitics actionnetwork.org/letters/protec…
Here we go again. Make your voices heard. No on AEA cuts.
We DID NOT debate the Senate AEA bill—they didn’t have the votes. your advocacy is working! KEEP IT UP! legis.iowa.gov/legislators
GOP Rep. Steel Got Pregnant With IVF -- Then Sponsored A Bill To Ban It nationalmemo.com/gop-rep-steel-…
Way to go Nebraska advocates!
Gov. Pillen reversed course Monday, saying the state will apply for $18 million for summer food program for low-income families. From @PaulHammelNE nebraskaexaminer.com/2024/02/12/gov…
Um, nope. It’s not. There are no prerequisites for our fundamental freedoms and rights. That’s what makes them our rights. Case in point: you treat many, many Iowans in a completely uncivil way as a legislator. But your civil rights shouldn’t be taken away.

Iowa kids deserve better! Now is your time to speak out against Governor Reynolds’s cuts to AEAs before the subcommittee on Wednesday (1/31). 1️⃣ Sign the petition: actionnetwork.org/petitions/iowa… 2️⃣ Leave a comment in opposition to the bill: bit.ly/3OiWZdd
Perhaps stating the obvious here, but Mike Johnson and House GOP do not actually want a border deal. They want to run against dems on the border. They don’t want to negotiate.
Hey Iowa House Republicans - please split the AEA Bill into at least two parts soon. The proposed teacher pay increases are exciting and should be non-controversial. The part with the AEAs needs significantly more time for input and modification.
It is a good start. Kudo to the 4 legislators who sponsored the bill: Wessel-Kroeschell, Wilburn, Levin, Steckman. Democrats should follow suit with their areas of interest and file a bill a day (until time runs out). Iowans want specifics. Iowa deserves better

Iowa simply cannot pass up the opportunity to provide $120 in nutrition benefits to low-income kids through Summer EBT. Sign the petition and share! actionnetwork.org/petitions/iowa…
If the governor gets her way, Area Education Associations created under Gov Bob Ray will be closed this year. There are huge lists of ways AEAs help Iowa’s students, families and teachers. There is no real plan to replace them so at risk students, i am so sorry.
Proud to see Iowa students take action today. Iowa kids deserve to be kids, without worrying about their safety. It’s time for @IAGovernor & GOP legislators to listen to them, not the NRA. #Iowa

Literally shaking my head. (Governor Kim Reynolds hardly ever holds press conferences so it's not as if Iowa media can try again tomorrow or next week.)

There’s a story going around saying that Martin Sheen is supporting @RobertKennedyJr for president. The story is incorrect. Martin asked us to post this on his behalf. “I wholeheartedly support President Joe Biden and the democratic ticket in 2024. Sincerely, Martin Sheen”
We all want to believe it won't happen at our school. It seems to get closer and closer to home. Unfortunately, without common sense gun laws we need to think "not if, but when." Keeping Perry and all Iowa's young people in my thoughts today.
Nancy Dugan learned from @iowadnr documents that only 149 CAFOs hold water use permits in Iowa. "This means that thousands of these facilities operate with little or no apparent state oversight of their water use." Could be big problem if drought persists. bleedingheartland.com/2023/12/23/cla…
In Minnesota, we’re ensuring our students are fed so they can focus on getting a quality education. Free breakfast and lunch is an investment I will defend all day.

Here is the simple and easy fix: include a voter registration form with a return address for the county auditor in the packet. Yes, that's literally all Iowa HHS needs to do for compliance and ensure Iowans know how to register to vote.
Three months after Iowa Capital Dispatch reported that Iowa HHS is likely violating federal voting law, the department has publicly acknowledged the problem but remains vague on the plan for fixing it, @zackroth reports. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/04/22/hhs… via @IowaCapDispatch
Here's the Bengal Tiger story from Sen. Todd Taylor. However, Tyler Jett of the Des Moines Register was able to confirm that this story was indeed too good to be true.
I will go back and get the video later but during his retirement speech, Sen. Todd Taylor said he helped write the bill to outlaw exotic animal ownership. There was apparently a drug dealer in Council Bluffs who used a Bengal tiger to guard his stash.
Republicans voted no on my amendment to Dept. of Ag bill to inspect puppy mills on an annual basis. We continue our slide to No. 1 in the nation in puppy mills. Should have been easy bipartisan vote.

@LauraRBelin This sticks out "the education landscape in Iowa, which seems to be marred by decisions based on greed and not student need, potentially compromising the quality of education our children receive"
Chloe and I are thrilled to welcome the arrival of our son Elijah Bloom Wahls. We are immensely grateful for the world-class care he received thanks to our wonderful doula, the incredible University of Iowa Health Care team, and my very supportive family here in Iowa City.
The signing of HF 2612 will forever change Iowa’s AEA system and how it delivers services to the children, families and educators of Iowa. We are grateful to the thousands of advocates who worked tirelessly to educate the public and legislators about what was at stake.
Joe Lieberman and I didn’t always see eye-to-eye, but he had an extraordinary career in public service, including four decades spent fighting for the people of Connecticut. He also worked hard to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” and helped us pass the Affordable Care Act. In both…
Some of the Iowa House members may have tickets to tonight's Drake NCAA men's basketball game in Omaha. A 6:30 pm end time to floor debate on the AEA bill might leave members enough time to get to the game. Terrible way to make policy on an issue of massive public interest.
A majority of Iowans of all political stripes agree on one thing: we are doing our job well at the State Auditor’s Office buff.ly/4coKs26

I FEEL THIS WOMANS ANGER !!!!!!!! Shout out to those who save
Wow. An Alabama mom calls on @SenKatieBrittt to try and salvage her career by "being really really brave" and "standing up for women" instead of listening to GOP men.
There is nothing about requiring gender balance that means anyone who serves is in any way less qualified. The entire premise is that there are plenty of qualified women who are not getting the appointments they deserve because of structural biases.
Living with the permanent, legitimate fear that on any given day your children could slaughtered with a weapon of war isn’t freedom. It’s madness.
