The 2024 #ialegis has ended and we're disappointed with the prioritization of divisive bills rather than ideas that will help Iowans. I will continue to listen and work for you. #PeopleOverPolitics

Currently in Iowa, the state takes Social Security survivor benefits away from foster children who have lost their parents.

Today, Sarah Trone Garriott offered an amendment to end this unconscionable practice and let kids keep the money left to them by their parents. #ialegis

Iowa legislators shouldn't be fooled. 'Amending' utility right of first refusal (HF2551) is a red herring, an attempt to distract from the fact that passage will cause Iowans' electricity rates to increase. #ROFR #IAleg is #IAleg

Take a minute to read this well-deserved celebration of Sen. Pam Jochum’s career, from her hometown paper, the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald. #ialegis

This is GREAT! Whowuddathunk that there's soooo much gall in #IaLegis ? 'Iowa Sen. Tony Bisignano (D-Des Moines) named names to call out Republican legislators who depend on farm subsidies, but support a ban on basic income programs.' #IaPolitics

The dismantling of Iowa education, under darkness. Thanks for nothing! #ialegis #iaedchat #iaedfuture

Just another example of the insanity that is Iowa and the #ialegis .

Why anyone would want to move here is beyond me.

Running IA Legis past midnight to force final shutdown for the year is prohibited by House rules because that's when lobbyists & rogue legislators wreak havoc on the public interest. But for this #IaLegis , legislative malpractice is the norm, not the exception. #IaPolitics

Congratulations to Iowans who won't be forced to pay higher electricity rates. Over the weekend their elected representatives refused to advance utility Right of First Refusal ( #ROFR ) legislation that would have eliminated competition for power line construction. #IAleg is #IAleg

Any wonder that trust in GQP in #IaLegis is zip? They lied to hide their theft of $68M from Iowa's AEA system for children with learning disabilities. The 'flaw' was brought up on the floor during debate & denied by the GOP. Now truth is out. #IaPolitics tiktok.com/t/ZTLaRTuyP/

The bill has now passed the IA senate and now goes to Gov’s desk. #ialegis

At 4:15 am, on the last bill before adjourning for the year, Republicans decided that feeding hungry school kids in summer is “outside the scope” of their responsibilities & refused to vote on it. Why? Most think Gov. Kim Reynolds is wrong & they are afraid to tell her. #ialegis

Huh? So China's not buying Iowa out from under us as #IaLegis would have us believe? China holds a minuscule 265 acres out of 35.7M acres in Iowa.
The bigger problem? Big out-of-state US corporations & investors snapping up Iowa farmland. #IaPolitics

Thanks, Polk County.

#ialegis hasn’t gotten settlement funds out the door in 3 years.

How do you think Iowans react to a legal mugging? It's as if suddenly a hood's pulled over your head, the shit's beaten out of you & you are left lying on the street! 'IA House leaders state how policies passed will affect Iowans.' #IaPolitics #IaLegis

As cooperative financial institutions, credit unions offer a unique approach to financial services; every member is an equal owner of their credit union and has a say in the cooperative's operations. #ialegis

As of 4:23, the 2024 legislative session has adjourned Sine Die #ialegis

Why'd GOP in #IaLegis say they're helping farmers? They stripped farmers & their families of the right to sue Bayer for Roundup Herbicide cancers that kill them & family members? Why'd they lie? They were only helping Bayer! #IaPolitics Iowa Farmers Union
