Unbeknownst to me, a photographer captured my grief as I walked around the memorial set up for the Parkland victims. When I saw this photo for the first time, I was a bit embarrassed. And, then, I thought, “no,” this is real, this is what we all should be feeling. 1/5

We should all be concerned about Omicron, but not panicked.
If you’re fully vaccinated — and especially if you got boosted — you’re highly protected.
But if you’re unvaccinated, you’re at higher risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19, getting hospitalized, and dying.

People with a booster shot are highly protected.
If it’s been six months since your second shot, get your booster shot today.

Happy Father's Day to the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, and father figures who enrich our character, love us unconditionally, and give so much of themselves every day so we can live lives worthy of their dreams and sacrifices.

Former AARP Iowa State Director Bruce Koeppl loved the high school basketball players he coached and loved campaigning for @JoeBiden. desmoinesregister.com/story/…
Today, my dear friend and mentor, Bruce Koeppl, passed away (in Biden shirt with fist in air). During IA Caucus, he took me under his wing. I'll always remember the joy in his voice the day @JoeBiden was declared President. Bruce was the soul of @TeamJoe and will be deeply missed
