Kill, smear, cover-up Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother and U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis. After her death, Good was subjected to a vicious smear campaign.

Kill, Smear, Cover-Up

"The known facts do not support the official federal government narrative of Renee Good’s killing. Now, in an unusual move, the federal government is excluding state law enforcement from the investigation."

Happy Veterans Day, Clinton County! 🇺🇸

So to cap their horrible week, Senate Republicans refused a deal to reopen the government in exchange for just helping people with health insurance and now the president wants the Supreme Court to say he doesn’t have to obey the law and feed the hungry.

Amazing.

Republicans aren't even pretending to care about the cruelty and harm their cuts are inflicting on millions of Americans.

Actions speak louder than words, Chuck...
After weeks claiming he's finally going to stand up for our farmers against Trump's disastrous trade war, when it comes time to vote Grassley shows his true face and throws Iowa under the bus.

More Americans are seeing through DT's lies. Tariffs are raising costs, the tradewar crippling markets, and cuts to healthcare & food assistance are hurting our families!
While DT funnels tax dollars to his friends, adds BILLIONS to the deficit with tax cuts for the rich, and sells access & pardons.

Trump throws lavish party for wealthy donors while cutting vital healthcare subsidies and denying nutrition assistance for millions of Americans.

A coalition of more than 2 dozen state AGs & Governors are suing Trump for blocking the SNAP program's contingency funding from being used.

Where's Iowa's AG? Brenna Bird flew the coop. Instead of working for Iowans, she's holding an out-of-state fundraiser for out-of-state donors:

12% of Clinton Co. residents depend on SNAP benefits to feed their families, including seniors, disabled individuals, families with children, & veterans.
Meanwhile, Trump is refusing to allow the program's contingency funding to be used to help our families.

Candidate Nate Willems for Attorney General is crisscrossing Iowa to visit every county and talking to real Iowa families about their needs.
Meanwhile, MAGA Brenna Bird is off fundraising with out-of-state ultra wealthy elites.
Only one of these candidates is working for you.

SNAP’s Critical Role in Rural Communities — and the Consequences of Cuts - Food Research & Action Center Published August 25, 2025 The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) is one of the most effective tools the U.S. has to reduce hunger and support households with low incomes. Nowhere is this...

MAGA republicans holding SNAP hostage in the government shutdown will not only hurt Iowa families, it will hurt our local grocery stores, especially in rural Iowa.

ALL are invited! These high costs and slashed benefits are affecting everyone in Clinton County!

Iowa food pantries brace for increased demand as SNAP benefits threatened by government shutdown States were officially notified by the Food and Nutrition Service late last week to hold November benefits if the federal government shutdown continues.

$40 BILLION for Trump's friends in Argentina.
$200 MILLION for private jets for Noem.
But no support for our most vulnerable Americans.

‘Sold us out’: Farmers outraged at Trump’s Argentina beef deal Experts doubt whether the president's plan to import Argentinian beef would lower domestic prices.

‘Sold Us Out’: Farmers Outraged At Trump’s Argentina Beef Deal

This weekend Trump began demolishing part of the White House and posted an AI video of himself as a king dropping feces on Americans.
These images describe the Trump regime perfectly.

President Trump commutes the prison sentence of George Santos The disgraced New York Republican was sentenced to more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to a litany of federal charges, including wire fraud and identity theft.

The disgraced former Rep PLEAD GUILTY to wire fraud, embezzling, identity theft, fraudulently collecting unemployment benefits & more. Trump just commuted his sentence because he "voted Republican".
To our "law & order" republican friends, the corruption is in plain sight. Make it make sense.

This coupled with Republican cuts to healthcare & Medicaid: Trump & Republicans are broadcasting to the nation that they genuinely do not care about your well-being.

Freedom of speech and expression is guaranteed under the 1st amendment, but Donald Trump and monopolistic media companies are actively attacking this basic right. What happened and what can YOU do:
