I collaborated with Pablo Torre and Kiera Butler in their latest reporting on Tim Tebow & the Life Surge Christian finance scam... I went to the Charlotte event a couple of weeks ago, and what I witnessed was exploitative to say the least. Check it out...

"Stevens called me a while back to ask me for money... She volunteered the observation that Democrats should not be looking to do big things right now. She said we need to be modest in our policy goals: “not try to pass big programs like Social Security.” souloftheparty.com/p/mallory…

So poor people are stupid -- is that what you're saying @JonHusted?
Sen. Jon Husted: "People living in poverty are just not very, um, experienced at navigating the real world, right? I remember talking to one young lady who said, 'Well, I don't really know how money works at a grocery store,' because she grew up and has lived all of her adult life using SNAP cards to buy groceries. You literally have to teach people how to budget ... the buzzword today, let's face it, is 'affordability.'"

I launched my campaign for US Senate because Iowans need someone fighting to make their lives better. Team Wahls volunteers stepped up this week to put that mission into action. Together, we packaged and donated over 1,200 pounds of food for Iowa families. Thank you to everyone who joined us.

#DefendOurCourts now more than ever!
The rain unfortunately delayed our protest of Amy Coney Barrett last night, but it did not defeat us. Join us in telling SCOTUS to stop abusing the shadow docket to hand Trump more power! #DefendOurCourts
