Ah yes cause $900,000 is much better than $29 MILLION. “Let them eat cake! …but only a little…oh and no fake eggs😡” - Kim Reynolds probably

Republicans have passed the bill. 2 hours and 45 minutes after the text of a 49 page amendment was made available to the public. But at least they’re gonna get to Omaha for March Madness!

“I know you won’t, but I recommend a no.” - @KonfrstForHouse. Basically sums up how out of touch republicans have been this entire session because they’ve let politics get in the way of true progress.

The @IowaGOP does not care about the democratic process in Iowa. They dropped a 49 page amendment at 4:00 pm and are allowing democrats until 6:30 to read it and debate it. Frankly, this is bullshit. At least they’ll get to catch the basketball game in Omaha 🙄

It's all politics and it's pathetic. Call Speaker Grassley and tell him to put #PeopleOverPolitics and stop this bill: 515-281-3521

@ZachNunn is a member of this group. If he were to have his way he would raise the retirement age, ban IVF, ban abortion, get rid of the ACA and permanently change Medicare. He’s an extreme MAGA Republican through and through. It’s time to vote him out.

When Trump thinks people should just “get over” a school shooting, Joe Biden wants to actually do something about it. Let’s make sure we send Zach Nunn packing in November to help him get the democratic majority he needs to pass common sense gun control legislation!
Last night, we had a great time hosting @MelissaVineIA for a moderated town hall. Thank you for engaging with young people and taking our questions!!
We love a good community note.
We had so much fun tonight with @AnkenyAreaDems and @iowademocrats! AND we were so excited to hear from the iconic and youngest state party chair herself, @abreezeclayton!!! Thanks for coming to Iowa!
“It’s a particularly draconian attack on a small group of people who just want the freedom to live as they see fit.” Honestly, a good way to sum up many bills that members of the @IowaGOP introduce. What happened to “our liberties we prize and our rights we will maintain” ??

People showed up today and told Iowa lawmakers to stop fucking with trans rights…and they listened! The bill is dead!!!

What if - and hear us out - Iowa Republicans just left people the hell alone? Iowa Democrats aren’t obsessed with culture wars and that’s exactly why we’re focused on electing more of them in 2024.

We’re so excited that some of the best dem leaders in the country will be in Iowa to remind us of what our state can be if we elect true public servants!

As I've said to the business community several times over the last few years, worker shortages don't happen in a vacuum. We need to make Iowa a welcoming state & the Governor/legislative republicans have passed bill after bill that drive people away & keep new workers out.
Worker shortages top concern for Iowa's largest employers, survey shows desmoinesregister.com/story/money/bu…
New from @Rushthewriter: Gov. Kim Reynolds announced Iowa will start a competitive $900,000 grant program to feed Iowa children over the summer—this comes months after she declined $29 million in federal funds to feed kids via a different summer program. iowastartingline.com/2024/04/10/kim…
CORRECTION: Shut down #AEA debate in the Iowa House at 6:30 to get to Omaha in time to cheer the Drake Bulldogs to a win!!
Talking about "wins" for House Republicans in a political negotiation is disrespectful to the families and kids who have concerns about what will happen next, and to the professionals who serve them across Iowa. House Republicans may have had wins, but kids will lose.
And that's the whole problem: politics. This was never about our kids, it was always about the Governor. #ialegis #PeopleOverPolitics
This is a real problem, and one @iowahousedems have pushed to fix. Good preventive dental care is important for everyone and saves taxpayer dollars in the long run. Let's get this done.
New from @amierrivers: Can't find a dentist that takes Medicaid? You're not alone. Here's why a small number of Iowa dentists take the insurance for low-income Iowans, and how the state legislature could help turn that around. iowastartingline.com/2024/03/21/why…
We've heard from 1000s of parents, kids, educators, & families opposing changes to the AEAs. Why are House Republicans pushing a huge change to a Governor's priority with no time for public input? Politics. We don't work for the Governor. We work for Iowans. They don't want this
@MatsonForHouse @IAGovernor @KonfrstForHouse Konfrst says she believes the people working on AEA bill do want to look out for special ed kids and don't have bad intentions. "I just think that politics got in the way here." They are compromising on things they didn't want to compromise on. "Many of you know that we're right"
Iowa House Republicans are running a "time certain" motion to end debate on the AEA bill by 6:30 pm. This used to be an extremely rare procedural move but the GOP majority has used it more regularly in recent years to cut off floor debate on controversial bills. #ialegis
It's all politics and it's pathetic. Call Speaker Grassley and tell him to put #PeopleOverPolitics and stop this bill: 515-281-3521
@iowahousedems tell reporters they're expecting House GOP to debate another version of the AEA bill today. An amendment hasn't been made public and they say they haven't seen it either but are hearing its 49 pages long and includes SSA funding and teacher pay. @iowasnewsnow
NEW: Republican Study Committee releases a sweeping budget plan RSC chair is HERN; 170+ members incl Speaker and his full leadership team. Highlights: • Raises Social Security retirement age for future retirees • Converts Medicare to "premium support" a la Paul Ryan plan •…
I graduated from a small town in Southern Iowa. Join me in advocating to Governor Reynolds and legislators that AEAs are needed for ALL kids in ALL schools. No changes needed! @KimReynoldsIA
.@KonfrstForHouse is right: “Iowa Republicans will stop at nothing to ban abortion, even if it means criminalizing people undergoing IVF treatments…Iowans are tired of politicians taking away their reproductive freedom.” nbcnews.to/4c93MAw

55 years ago today, our clients Mary Beth and John made history in Tinker v. Des Moines. They were suspended from school for wearing black armbands to protest the Vietnam War. This case made it clear: The First Amendment protects public school students. But the fight isn't over.
