Hey @joniernst and @ChuckGrassley: Here's one of Trump's first attempts to override democratic processes and rule by fiat. With your seniority and leadership positions, you can influence your fellow senators to maintain their power. Do it now. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2024/11/11/dc/…
@JodiODonnell Also, because the money passes through the parents' hands first, it's a constitutional "circuit breaker" that makes it legal. Sadly.
If I wanted to live in a low-education, low-wage, low-tax state, I'd already be in Arkansas.
@LauraRBelin @IowaLSA @IAGovernor Let's say the private company gets 10 percent. That's almost $35 million – a lot of money. I would bet the vendors are donating to Reynolds and lobbying the Republicans to get a piece of the action. It's the privatized medicaid-ification of education.
@JodiODonnell @IAGovernor @IowaGOP Not only that, but at least one senator (Brad Zaun) has written a newsletter saying that well-off families could pay the full tuition and bank the voucher payments for college.
Reminder to Iowans who haven't returned absentee ballots: DON'T MAIL THEM tomorrow. Postmarks no longer count. Either hand-deliver ballot to your county auditor by 8 pm Tuesday, or bring the envelope to polling place Tuesday and vote with a regular ballot. bleedingheartland.com/2022/11/03/wha…
Moving. Iowa can choose a career politician who condones Trump and will do whatever Mitch McConnell says. Or it can choose an honorable man committed to Iowans, not Washington, and years of service to prove it.
Tomorrow, you decide. #GOTV #IASen #ElectionDay
Voters who care about #climatechange #publichealth #CAFOs & other science-related issues can find some candidates' answers at this survey – but folks from one party mostly ignored the questions. iowascienceinterface.com/2022/11/01/we-… @science_iowa @aspire_isu @UIOWA_CSTS
.@ChuckGrassley backs #windpower & #biofuels to help Iowa slow #climatechange. @FrankenforIowa says multinational ag companies are dictating policy; he'd use #antitrust laws to break them up & empower farmers. Read more of their #science stances: iowasciencepolicy.weebly.com #IASEN
Getting #IALEGIS #IASEN #IAGOV candidates on the record regarding #science-related policies on #climatechange #publichealth #vaccinations and more is tough. But it's even more difficult when one party almost completely ignores the questions. iowascienceinterface.com/2022/11/01/we-… #2022midterms
Under @IAGovernor and @IowaGOP, Iowa has become a dirtier, stupider, poorer and meaner state. Four more years will make the state even more dirty, stupid, poor and vicious. @DeidreDeJear's message and policies will elevate everyone and improve our lives. #VoteBlue #IAGOV
.@science_iowa @aspire_isu @UIOWA_CSTS contacted every #IASEN #IALEGIS #IAGOV #IASOS #IowaAG candidate with #science-based ❓s on #CAFOS #climatechange #vaccines #mentalhealth and more. But folks from one party nearly ignored them. iowascienceinterface.com/2022/11/01/we-… #2022midterms
#FarmBill: @FrankenforIowa says he'd use it to help repair #science-based @USDA operations harmed in the Trump era. @ChuckGrassley says he'd push for more ag research support. Read more plus answers from other races: iowasciencepolicy.weebly.com #agriculture #IASEN
Getting candidates to respond to #sciencepolicy questions is tough, but those from one party are particularly less willing. Why? #IALegis #IAGOV #IASEN iowasciencepolicy.weebly.com iowascienceinterface.com/2022/11/01/we-…
Under @IAGovernor and @IowaGOP, this state has become older, dirtier, poorer, sicker and meaner. We can reverse that. @DeidreDeJear is a dynamic leader with a positive approach that values and respects people, not profits. #IAGOV
Candidates for #IAlegis #IASEN #agsecy #IAGOV #IASOS & more are stating views on #science #environment #publichealth #vaccines #CAFOs ... See what folks from your area said: iowasciencepolicy.weebly.com. Your candidate hasn't replied? Demand answers. Emails & phone #s are at the site.
