@ChuckGrassley It's not illegal for private citizens, Hunter and James Biden, to do business with China. Ivanka Trump did business with China WHILE she was working for the President of the United States IN the White House. Give THAT some of your transparency = accountability attention.

A reminder to Iowans that @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds aligned herself politically and personally with the hate group, #MomsForLiberty . Reynolds aligned herself with @RonDeSantis who also aligned himself with MFL. Their politics are based on pure hate, bigotry, and discrimination.

Dowling Catholic HS tuition for 2022-2023 is $9,132 plus fees for parish families and $ 12,776 plus fees for non-parish families. @IAGovernor 's school "choice" scam would provide $7,598 of public education taxpayer $$ per student. Can low income families afford the difference?

Eric Branstad and his family take European vacations where they ski and ride horses on white sandy beaches (from his public facebook page) and he wants Iowa taxpayers to pay for his choice to send his four children to private schools. This is rank entitlement too. #NoVouchers

Shame on you, @SenJoniErnst . Trump is a rapist. A con man. A repulsive, repugnant misogynist. He's under 91 criminal indictments. He stole classified information. He committed fraud and cheated charities. And you have the balls to ignore all that and more? Pathetic.

Iowa Republican Senator @ChuckGrassley is a stooge for Trump. Grassley is refusing to pass tax credit legislation, including a child tax credit, because it would, in Grassley's words, "make President Biden look good." Grassley doesn't represent Iowans.

Trump couldnโ€™t pass a security clearance, but @ChuckGrassley gleefully jumped on the Trump train and remains on it today. Grassley aligns with a criminal, a traitor, a thief, and a con man. Vote @FrankenforIowa and send Chuck back to the farm!

In addition to mandating the release of the last 10 years of tax returns, we must require all future candidates for President (and Congress) to be eligible to obtain a security clearance. The fact that people are subjected to more rigorous background checks at McDonalds is absurd

Spent some time reading the #January6thReport and am astounded by the number of Republicans at the federal, state, and local levels who were willing to go along with the Big Lie. . @ChuckGrassley and @SenJoniErnst 's refusal to publicly denounce the Lie makes them just as guilty.

You're lying, @IAGovernor . You've underfunded Iowa's public education system, gutted funding for higher education, refused to fund a robust system of mental health care, allowed roads, bridges, and other infrastructure to deteriorate, and let polluted air and water fester.

Republican @SenJoniErnst has screeched about fentanyl killing Iowans for MONTHS now. She offered NO solutions. NO ideas. NO legislation. But when Joe Biden and a team of BIPARTISANS come up with a way to stop the deaths, Ernst will side with the GOP and vote no. HYPOCRITE!

As state revenue falls, state services will be slashed, property taxes will rise, education budgets will be reduced again, and corporation CEOs will get richer and richer while workers won't see any wage increases. @IAGovernor is killing Iowa.

She did acquire some stock, too--in Citrix, the maker of GoToMeeting. The first stimulus bill had $3B marked for makers of work-from-home technology. I'm sure this is all simply a remarkable coincidence.
