We did it!!!

This morning @IowaStateU @ISUExtension is at the capitol. Last year over 100,000 IA childcare providers benefitted from education programs to improve safety and quality of care—this is just one area of positive impact!

That’s half the districts in Iowa facing cuts to teachers or local property taxes going up to keep them at the 24-25 budget—not just small schools, @WDMCS is on the list. Contact your legislators:

concerned citizens speaking out against ssb1051 giving immunity to chemical companies—passed subcommittee, now eligible for full committee, contact members with your thoughts:

Senator Zimmer being sworn in today!

Today Monday Feb 10: IA Governor is holding a press conference at the capitol Ray Conference rm (ground level) at 11 regarding her disastrous testimony in DC. Have concerns? Show up.

Between preaching at one Lutheran church and leading a confirmation class at another stopped at @RAYGUNshirts for my new favorite shirt and ran into fellow Lutheran @shaneschurch picking up his shirt!

RT @ConnerReports: Funding to help refugees resettle during their first 90 days in the U.S. is on pause due to an executive order by Presid…

I joined with my Health and Human Service Colleagues calling on our federal delegation to stand up for their own authority—and for Iowa—reinstate refugee resettlement funding cut by executive order. @ZachNunn @SenJoniErnst @ChuckGrassley

and Iowa’s area code is 515— 515-281-5211

Lutheran Social Service Agencies do important work here in Iowa. Senate Health and Human Service Democrats are calling on our Governor to acknowledge that truth and shut down baseless attacks.

If Grassley, Ernst and the House delegation think a Trump White House is all that’s needed to govern the United States, they should come back home and give others a chance to serve in Congress.

Today I filed a bill for emergency support for refugees. The current administration has created a humanitarian disaster—Iowa can show we are people of our word, even when it’s clear those in DC are not. find your legislator: call Gov Reynolds 515-281-5211

@ksccyclone testifying about DOGE before congress

Celebrating every good thing—@USPS is coming out with a Betty White stamp.

No @MattBlake_IA you can’t sit with us, you are not wearing pink! (he was warned)

This morning I filed bills! One that’s a small investment, but a huge impact for Iowans: Fund Dementia coordinators across the state so that families don’t have to navigate a tough diagnosis alone. @alzassociation @DF_Iowa

This administration doesn’t keep promises and it certainly doesn’t pay its bills. Can Iowa expect better from you @joniernst @ZachNunn @ChuckGrassley ?
