I'm at the Democratic nominating convention for Iowa Senate district 16 in West Des Moines.
Delegates from the precincts in this district (covering Windsor Heights and parts of Clive and WDM) will nominate a candidate for Dec. 30 special election to replace the late Dem State Senator Claire Celsi.

Happy Columbus Day to all the Italian-Americans celebrating their heritage today. This is not just a commemoration day in the United States, but many countries in the Americas recognize Columbus' arrival.

Enjoy!

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to β€œthe right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

The Rise of MAGA Christian Identity Plus: The crocodile comes to eat Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL.

"Christianity has morphed into an identity group, untethered from much Christian teaching. It has become another tribal association jockeying for power and pursuing grievances.

The problem is when religions devolve into identitarian movements, bad things happen."

"They give me only bad publicity or press. I mean, they're getting a license. I would think maybe their license should be taken away." --Convicted Felon Donald Trump

Time for letters to my elected officials asking if they support the foundational idea of press freedom in America.
