Iowa, looks like Ashley Hinson could make time for John Barrasso today, but not the vice president yesterday, even though she declared in 2025 she'd be "Trump's strongest ally."
But that was before she voted against ending the Iran war 7 times, and before gas hit $4.39/gallon.
Wonderful to welcome @barrassoforwyo to Iowa!
We started our morning at GRACE Breast Imaging in Clive, the only women-owned breast imaging facility in Iowa. Their team is doing incredible work to make breast cancer screening and early detection more accessible for Iowa women.
Iowa’s growing cancer rate is unacceptable. We have to keep investing in prevention, early detection, research, and treatment for all Iowans.
MAGA stooge @ZachLahn wants to ban ALL abortion care, including banning care for women like Tierra who developed pre-eclampsia, couldn't get an abortion, and died.
Lahn wants to own Iowa women's bodies and take away their inherent right to full bodily autonomy.

Good! The family of the pregnant woman who died sues Ken Paxton for wrongful death. Tierra Walker, 37, developed severe pre-eclampsia (life-threatening) at 20 weeks. Physicians would not perform an abortion to save her life because of the abortion ban in Texas. She died. 🤬 theguardian.com/us-news/2026…

@ZachLahn has spent the majority of his career as a political operative working to take health care away from rural families.
It should come as no surprise that he is planning to do the same in Iowa.
Lahn’s private school in Kansas doesn’t accept children with developmental disabilities nor do they accommodate children with 504 plans.
But yeah, everyone has worth and stuff.
"Our founders said something unique in all of human history and it was put into our founding documents: All men are created equal... that everyone has so much intrinsic worth because you're made in the image of God that even the government must bow to you."

C'mon, @RepAshleyHinson , get this guy to help you with your base.

This is the president @hinsonashley supports & will NEVER criticize, no matter how out-in-the-open his corruption is. Iowa MUST do better than voting for the lying POS Ashley Hinson. Must. She works to protect the rich in the GOP, but couldn't give two shits about the rest of us.

Yikes! @RobSandIA gets more people at his town halls than this…
Can’t believe people aren’t flocking to @jdvance’s charisma…

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. received more than $250,000 worth of free flights to Fiji and Greece as well as use of a vacation home in Washington, D.C. All were gifts from Gavin de Becker, a security consultant and supporter.
The 2025 gifts were reported by Kennedy in his annual financial ethics disclosure, which was amended this week and obtained by The Wall Street Journal through a records request. They included a nearly $45,000 roundtrip airfare to Greece and almost $97,000 in roundtrip flights to Fiji where de Becker owns a compound.

THIS IS ILLEGAL.
THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
THIS IS DANGEROUS.
THIS IS UN-AMERICAN.
This is NOT how the U.S. Armed Forces works.
We do NOT go on religious crusades.
I expect Pete Hegseth to be in a prison cell on 1/20/29.
Nothing less is acceptable.
Remember Iowans, @ZachNunn, @AshleyHinson, and @MillerMeeks ALL voted to gut the ACA health insurance premium tax credits and cause rates to shoot up by 100% -200%.
One year ago, Senate Republicans voted to spike health care costs for millions of Americans by refusing to extend ACA tax credits.
In November, voters will reject the Republicans who are gutting health care and elect a Democratic Senate majority who will fight for it.
ALT One year ago, Senate Republicans cast “broadly unpopular” votes to spike health care costs. Swipe to read.
![It’s been one year since Senate Republicans voted to spike health care costs by refusing to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits that helped keep costs from rising.
As a result of Republicans’ refusal to act, “about three million, or 13 percent” of ACA enrollees were kicked off their insurance plans, and across the board Americans were forced to pay “significantly more for a[n insurance] plan in 2026.”](/pic/https%3A%2F%2Fpbs%2Etwimg%2Ecom%2Fmedia%2FHSlmtTtXwAAYI%5Fc%2Epng%3Fname%3Dsmall%26format%3Dwebp)

ALT As ACA beneficiaries are set to see “a second straight year of double-digit premium increases", furious voters – who trust Democrats over Republicans on the issue of health care by a margin of 24% – continue to cite “rising costs of health care as a top concern” with the midterms less than 50 days away.

Trump's DOJ tried to settle his $10B IRS suit w/ a $1.776B slush fund for his allies
Judge Williams said no—& Monday she said no again
He tried to settle w/ himself & still lost. How @DDFund_ helped in this week's publisher's note 👇 -TN contrariannews.org/p/were-wi…

Pentagon lowered Iran war deaths from 18 to 14. Then hid 4 in a new category. 23 actually dead. 624+ wounded.
No press briefings since May. Hegseth screams “FAKE” at reporters. This is Russia-style casualty hiding.
American families deserve TRUTH.

Ashley Hinson has voted to continue the war in Iran 7 times, sending gas prices up and up and up.
Iowans are hurting and she doesn’t seem to care.
The United States is a thief just like Russia if we steal Venezuela's oil and natural resources, @JDVance.
What would Jesus do, fake "Christian?"
Jesse Watters: How does taking out a dictator in Venezuela help the average American?
VP JD Vance: It means is we are going to be able to control the incredible natural resources of Venezuela. @acyn (2026)

Thanks, @hinsonashley, you stupid, gutless, lying dipshit.

Facts: Cutting health care for rural Iowans hurts you, your family, & your neighbors, and my opponent has a track record of supporting those cuts.
Iowa Senators @ChuckGrassley and @SenJoniErnst whined, complained, moaned, and posted about gas prices under Joe Biden on a near daily basis.
But NOW that @RealDonaldTrump's idiotic failed policies and decisions have raised gas and diesel prices to record levels...nothing.
Iowa MAGA creeps @ZachNunn, @AshleyHinson, and @MillerMeeks voted to strip $300 BILLION from hungry kids, working families, single moms, the elderly, veterans, and hardworking Iowans stuck in low wage jobs.
@SarahforIowa will restore these cuts.

NOBODY voted to "change kids gender at school" because NOBODY and NO SCHOOLS are doing that, @AshleyHinson.
You're outrageous lies to Iowans now means you'll continue your outrageous lies in Washington DC.
YOU can't be trusted and we're voting for @turek4iowa
What an amazing crew in Des Moines this afternoon! This campaign is powered by Iowans who care deeply about our values and our state — and are showing up to fight for its future.
Josh Turek voted to let kids change their gender at school without their parents knowing and to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants. And he wants to repeal tax cuts that are putting more money back into Iowans’ pockets.
Iowans want common sense — not Turek and Schumer’s liberal agenda.
