At a conference in Croatia right now I am approached by an American politico.... We get talking about Iowa. He says is that scammy social conservative snake oil salesman still around?

Calling the #IAGov race a "toss-up" is a mistake. Between the @IowaGOP registration lead and Sand’s last race against a total unknown opponent, the data favors a Republican victory. We’re putting in the work to keep Iowa red. 🚩 #IAPolitics

Three-time loser Bob Vander Plaats knows a thing or two or three about Trainwreck campaigns.

Unless nutters like this concede that requiring an ID to buy a gun is an "unjust and racist barrier" to a constitutional right, their case against voter ID is meaningless. You can't claim a requirement is "suppression" at the polling place but "safety" at the gun store
English
Curiously, that logic never applies to the Second Amendment. You need a photo ID to exercise your right to purchase a firearm—a requirement the Left champions as "common-sense safety."

@DMRegister The Register shouldn't print such nonsense without a fact check. For example: - Airplane tickets, etc., are not constitutional rights - "Illegals" voting is effectively a myth (see next post) - All voter ID bills limit IDs to specific forms many lack. SAVE turns that to 11. 1/

@LauraRBelin @GrassleyWorks In 2018, there was no universal mailing of request forms, yet Iowa still saw its highest midterm turnout in history (at the time) immediately following the implementation of the ID law.
English
@GrassleyWorks Turnout increased in 2020 because the secretary of state mailed every Iowa voter an absentee ballot request form.
Which Iowa Republicans quickly made illegal.
English
Voter ID works and turnout in Iowa increased after its passage. All states should be more like Iowa.

“Voter ID yet another thing Iowa does better than Minnesota”
When I served in the State Senate, I voted to enact Voter ID.
While Minnesota Liberals don’t believe in voter ID, Iowans are proud that our state takes election integrity seriously!

Tell us how many nomination signatures you need to get on the ballot.

Tell me, “Iowa is in play for Dems” without telling me…. Anyway, for those in the back, IOWA IS IN PLAY. The congressional districts, US Senate, state wide seats, local seats, & obviously you can see from the bed wetting of the Iowa House & Senate GOP, the Governor.

“Oh my god… I have no words.” Listen to the emotional moment this year’s laureate Maria Corina Machado finds out she has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Kristian Berg Harpviken, Director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, shared the news with her directly before it was announced to the world. #NobelPrize #NobelPeacePrize

I’m all in. I’m running for the United States Senate to fight alongside President Trump and deliver on the America First agenda.
From securing our border and deporting illegal aliens, to keeping men out of girl’s sports and cutting taxes for working families, I will fight every day for Iowans and our conservative values.
President Trump is restoring the American Dream but our work isn’t over yet. The Left will do anything and everything to resurrect their out-of-touch agenda and dismantle our progress. As Iowa’s next Senator, I will stop at nothing to Make America Great!

🧵showing once again that @RobSandIA is either an incompetent lawyer or using the office for partisan gain. Or both.
Btw, Rob Sand lost 7-0 to @AlanOstergren the last time they were at the Iowa Supreme Court. Looks like Rob is headed for another L.

Reading scores at one Baltimore school, 628 students:
-71 tested at a Kindergarten level.
-88 at a 1st grade level.
-45 at a 2nd grade level.
32% at or below 2nd grade reading level.
But not an elementary school…It’s a HIGH SCHOOL.
The school unions should be ashamed!
