@LMLionBaseball The schedule on the website for next week goes to this week's schedule. Can you update?

🚨Summer Baseball Weights Schedule: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1pm at the High School. *This is for all levels unless you have a game that day. **This starts tomorrow!!

VOUCHER UPDATE: The governor’s education savings accounts (voucher) proposal was released after her Condition of the State Address. The bill is more damaging to students than any of her previous voucher proposals, costing taxpayers millions of dollars over the next 3 years.

I was hoping to report on the @IowaGOP’s election night event. However, @KCRG was denied credentials. kcrg.com/2022/11/08/iow…

@ChuckWendig @ChristophGolden Just found Wanderers at my local library and finished it in a matter of days. Excited for more!

This is me.

Iowa wages grow when the number of workers covered by a union grows. Please, do what you can to help support Ingredion workers as they continue to fight for a fair deal from their employer. #OpenMike

Yes, there's a right to bear arms. But we also have the right to live freely without fearing for our lives in the grocery store. In a classroom. And in a movie theater – where 10 years ago today in Aurora, 12 people lost their lives to gun violence.

Don’t forget to turn your clocks back 50 years tonight. 🕰 ⏰ #WomensRights #RoeVWade

Not one Republican in the U.S. Senate voted to: Rescue our nation in the middle of a pandemic. Protect women and keep their health decisions private. Protect our most fundamental right: the right to vote.

On January 5th, 2021, Grassley insisted that he did not expect Pence to be there when the votes were certified. Iowans deserve to know the impetus behind his statement and what exactly Grassley’s role was in the plan to overthrow our democracy and thwart the certification (1/3)

A reminder of why we’re here (pardon the all caps): IN 2020, FOR THE FIRST TIME IN AMERICAN HISTORY, A PRESIDENT LOST AN ELECTION, REFUSED TO CONCEDE, AND REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF POWER. HE THEN LED A COUP TO TRY TO OVERTHROW THE ELECTION. That’s why.

Today we are sending this letter to every member of Congress pleading with them to act and help end gun violence. #BetheChange #DontLookAway

No responsible gun owner, Republican, or parent wants gun violence to continue. As Americans, we need to stop focusing on what we can’t agree on and start focusing on what we can and do something even if small and demand the same of our politicians.

Republicans passed anti-CRT laws IMMEDIATELY. Republicans passed anti-trans laws IMMEDIATELY. Republicans passed book bans IMMEDIATELY. Republicans act IMMEDIATELY when they say something poses a threat. If they WANTED to fix these shootings, they would. They're CHOOSING not to.

Stacey Abrams reminds us amid ongoing efforts to overturn Roe v. Wade that our constitutional rights are at risk — and we can't back down now.

This is absolutely HUGE. biospace.com/article/resear…

70% of Americans believe Roe v. Wade should remain the law of the land. Retweet if you're one of them.

We are watching a hostile takeover of Twitter by the richest man in the world who regularly tries to silence critics. This is what oligarchy looks like.

The son of the President of the United States openly threatened to overturn the results of the last election, and it‘s hardly a blip in the news cycle. We must not become inured to this blatant authoritarianism.
