Elon Musk is a war criminal. Critics are calling for Elon Musk to be investigated for war crimes after SpaceX cut Ukraine’s Starlink access on the same night Russia launched a massive assault on Kyiv. #musk
Americans have now seen zero real wage growth since Trump returned to the White House. With inflation rising and wage growth slowing, inflation-adjusted avg hourly earnings fell 0.5% in Aug and were down 0.7% from a year ago, the sixth straight month of year-over-year declines
The nation’s top pediatricians’ group is calling for a ban on raw milk sales as the product surges in popularity. The American Academy of Pediatrics made the call after several recent outbreaks, including one this summer that sickened more than 100 people and hospitalized 11.
Channeling Neville Chamberlain President Trump called yesterday for Ukraine to replace President Volodymyr Zelensky with someone willing to make a deal with Russia to end the war. #TrumpTraitor
Score one for our stable genius President. Many of those $90 Medicare deposits to Democrats were promptly turned into additional donations to Democratic candidates. At least $90 million to candidates thanks to Trump. #trumpgenius
Sarah Longwell of The Bulwark, who conducts focus groups with voters, says Trump’s campaign ads boosting himself have backfired: people hate them. They object to using taxpayer money for them by a margin of 86 to 9. #TrumpCrimeFamily
Three weeks ago, Congress passed new sanctions against Russia and countries that were continuing to use Russian oil and gas and gave Trump sweeping powers to expand those sanctions. Today the US waived sanctions on Russian fuel. #whiplash #electiondesperation
Ashley Hinsom's humongous diamond ring is distracting when she talks about helping every day Iowans.
Iowa is spending millions to lure a giant steel plant while at the same time this is happening. #TrumpIsTheKingOfLies

Iowa's tax incentives for Mesabi Metallics are among the priciest in state history, amounting to $777,000 for each job created. #iowa
The latest evidence came out Wednesday. The US Bureau of Economic Analysis said Iowa’s economy grew at a measly annual rate of 1.7% in the 2nd Quarter. That’s worse than any of the states bordering us, except Nebraska. Minnesota’s economy grew twice as much as Iowa’s. #trump
Where was he when the House was actually in session? Nunn introduces bill to suspend Trump’s beef imports, bolster US herd. This is why we need real leadership. Elect @SarahforIowa iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026…
Iowa had 10 times the national rate of child labor law violations in 2025, yet employers are rarely penalized for endangering young workers. Republicans rolled back protections and IA kids are paying the price. Corporations profit from their labor and largely get off scot-free.
Almost 200,000 children have been ordered removed since Trump returned to office, more than double the pace under the previous administration, with 70% of them under age 13, according to data from the advocacy group Mobile Pathways. #TrumpIsALoser
Ashley Hinson is in trouble. The National Republican Senatorial Committee is spending $8.8 million to get her elected. #votejoshturek
The US House passed a bill requiring AM radio in new passenger vehicles. All of IA's congressional delegation are co-sponsors of the House or Senate versions, which the CBO estimates would cost automakers millions of $ annually. Why? Conservative talk radio dominates the AM dial.
Government employees were paid $9.5 billion not to work last year as part of DOGE’s efforts to shrink the federal work force. #TrumpsOtherCrimes #elonmuskfraud
I'm so tired of this "I'll take my ball and go home" attitude. President Trump threatened to cancel a $257 million renovation of the performing arts venue if the judge’s ban was not overturned. It's time for Republicans to get a spine. #TrumpIsCorrupt
