The absolute recklessness of the current administration's war in Iran and tariff policy will only worsen Iowa's job losses and continue to raise costs for families. We need members of Congress who will reassert their constitutional powers.

Things to worry about? 1. Great grandpa starting World War III because he doesn’t like what’s on TV. 1. The safest the most common form of abortion, now effectively being banned for tons of millions. 1. John Roberts nearing his dream of eliminating any substantial, black voting power.

As researchers behind an Iowa water quality sensor program race to find a new funding source before money runs out and they're forced to pull the sensors from the state's rivers and streams, a nonprofit has launched a crowdsource campaign to try to keep the program afloat.

It actually doesn’t. We already know Trump’s big, ugly mess of a budget would add $3 trillion to the national debt. And that’s in addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health care and taking food away from hungry kids.

Losing access to Medicaid. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Honestly, reading this report was difficult, because if you don’t understand anything beyond the surface of WHY these statistics are what they are, this report seems to make sense. When you do understand, this report is infuriating.
