Thank you to everyone who loves this country enough to show up and protest! 🇺🇸
Thank you to the Woodbury Dems for a great Harry Hopkins dinner.
One of the many reasons I support @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social, his campaign is the only one in the Senate race that showed up. The 4th largest city in Iowa. We need a campaign that shows up! 🇺🇸
Unless it’s breaking up the multinational packers which nearly every one has both announced record profits and have been busted for price-fixing, it won’t work. This is a monopoly problem!

ABC News graphic needs to be updated with it being $40 billion and Trump admitting the bailout won’t benefit the U.S. but it will benefit Trump’s well-connected hedge fund manager friend.

Trump continues to get played by China while farmers are being used as pawns.

I know the focus has been on the Shutdown but the Farm Bill expired on September 30, too!
Yes, we’re still on the 2018 Farm Bill which was supposed to only be 5 years but here we are.
Complete embarrassment!!!
I’ll start. @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social because there’s not a better Democrat in the country to talk about the impact of Medicaid, to go along with being a fellow prairie populist!
