Iowa County, Iowa Democrats

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

You found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

But refuse to provide a dime to keep American children from going hungry.

Show some leadership, get off the golf course and reopen the government.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

You Really Need to See Epstein’s Birthday Book for Yourself This time, the conspiracy theorists were right.

I wrote about what I think is a genuinely revealing document of elite depravity and impunity. It is shocking and sickening. But it's also a crucial moment. We're about to see what happens when conspiracy theorists actually get what they asked for but it turns out not to be what they want.

Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

Trump promised to release the Epstein files. He didn’t.

His administration blocked investigations.

His allies shut down subpoenas.

The question isn’t just who’s on the list.

It’s: what are they hiding?

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

Keep showing up.

Keep speaking out.

Keep our democracy!

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

No wonder this idiot clown blames President Biden every 5 minutes.

It's a two-part posting by Isabel Santos she says in Trump's world what is the definition of a bribe? The first part says breaking: Business Leaders are paying as much as $5 million dollars to meet one on one with President Trump at his Florida compound, while others are paying a million dollars a piece to dine with him in a group setting, per WIRED. And Darrigo Melanie adds these are called "bribes". The president of the United States is openly accepting million dollar bribes and we're so used to his corruption that it doesn't even crack the news cycle. This is what an oligarchy looks like.

Even Republicans are expressing alarm this morning.

What would Jesus do?

He would feed children!

If they were proud of the things they've been passing, you would think state Sen. Dawn Driscoll & state Rep. Judd Lawler would WANT to hold public forums in Iowa County.

So why don't they?

What are they hiding?

What are they scared of?

GOP lawmakers are requiring high school students to pass a 100-question citizenship test to graduate, yet they just voted AGAINST our proposal to require legislators to pass the same test.
