Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Abbey Paxton: Iowa's members of Congress tout tax breaks, which amount to pocket change compared with the rising cost of insurance premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket medical expenses that will hit my neighbors and family hard. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/10/27/i...

Iowa Republicans chose shutdown over affordable health care
Abbey Paxton: Rather than support affordable health care for us, the Iowans in Congress are giving more breaks to large corporations.

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Jones: What I’m seeing today is different. It’s no longer simply black and white like it was in 1963. We now have much broader problems in America — deeper divisions among races, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. Those divisions are growing, and people are stoking that fear and anger.

Big sigh. Watch this. Can you see why the Yankees’ moment of silence, the lowered flags, the promise of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, feel like a gut punch to the very people he spent years targeting? No one wished death on this man, but what we’re seeing right now is too f*cking much.

Judging by the shamefully opportunistic & politicizing rhetoric of some rightwingers on Twitter, & their cynical use of Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder for political point scoring, it’s almost as if Minnesota Rep. Melissa Hortman wasn’t murdered by a Trump-voting MAGA maniac just 12 weeks ago.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported. Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad. We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

Watching corporate media pathetically ask GOP Reps if they think Trump birthday card to Epstein is real. Why not then follow up and ask why did Trump lie in 2024 when he wrote “I was never on Epstein’s Plane” but Trump's own DOJ released documents showing he was on plane 8 times.

In Michigan, we passed a red flag law, safe storage, universal background checks, and closed the domestic violence loophole. We CAN make change. But we won’t stop this epidemic of gun violence until we elect people at every level who view our kids and communities' safety as a priority.
