Had an excellent discussion at @SimpsonCollege with panelists from across the state to talk about data center development.
Linn County is leading in a way that is both pro-growth and pro-community!

"The strike resulted in nearly the entire medical team, including doctors, paramedics and nurses, being killed."
Israel is killing medical workers, the U.S. is killing little kids, and together the two countries have killed more than 2,000 human beings.
Just 3 weeks in.

Lebanese health officials say that 31 health workers have been killed by Israeli strikes. Israel claimed, without evidence, that Hezbollah has been using ambulances and medical facilities. trib.al/fCBRbFX

Kim Reynolds’ legacy will be one of economic mismanagement, stripping Iowans of their fundamental rights, and the repeated attacks / defunding of our public education system.
Our state will be much better off without her.

Proud to stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters of the Machinists Union in Amana as they stand against the blatant corporate greed of Whirpool!!
Stop shipping our jobs to Mexico and China and start re-investing in the communities that made these companies billions of $ in profit 🇺🇸

I often joke that my shoes last longer than most, but I do have the unique challenge of wearing down my wheels. While other candidates burn shoe leather, I've burnt some serious rubber after 8 months on the trail.
Shoutout to the folks at Street Collective for helping me replace my wheels!

It's unfortunate that a huge company like Google is trying to pit local jurisdictions against each other for their own favor.

Just how much has @IAGovernor's education savings accounts reshaped K-12 education? 99% of Iowa's private school students are now publicly funded, costing an estimated $350M next year. desmoinesregister.com/story/news/edu… via @HelloTimWebber @svhernandez

Last week, I had the opportunity to join some incredible community leaders on a panel discussing the potential impact that property tax legislation in Des Moines could have on local governments.
Thank you to HEDCO for hosting this wonderful event!

Israel is using its decision to launch a regime change war with Iran to justify further punishing people in Gaza.
COGAT@cogatonline
📢📢📢The IDF and the U.S. Army have launched a broad, joint operation aimed at fundamentally targeting the Iranian terrorist regime and removing long-term existential threats to the State of Israel. Accordingly, several necessary security adjustments have been implemented, including the closure of the crossings into the Gaza Strip, among them the Rafah Crossing, until further notice. The rotation of humanitarian personnel is postponed at this stage. It should be emphasized that the closure of the crossings will have no impact on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.* The substantial quantities of food that have entered since the beginning of the ceasefire amount to four times the nutritional needs of the population, according to the UN methodology. Therefore, the existing stock is expected to suffice for an extended period. COGAT will continue to maintain continuous contact with the international community and will provide updates on any developments.

Another pointless Middle East regime change war that will cost taxpayers billions of dollars and result in our soldiers and countless innocent civilians being killed.

For two years, assholes on this website screamed that the Gaza Health Ministry numbers were made up or inflated or somehow not real. Now the IDF accepts their accuracy. The real death toll is probably much larger but the truth is still buried under the rubble.

As information continues to emerge about the situation in Venezuela, we know one thing is true: nobody wants another unjustified, unconstitutional war that Congress didn’t approve.
Iowans are tired of never ending wars. Washington should be focused on fixing the economy, lowering costs, and building up the middle class.
