I hope the Democrats find a way to use your list of what the republican talking points would be if they were telling the truth about how they vote in DC. I have no idea how people can be shameless and shameful at the same time, but these clowns have managed to accomplish just that.

Serving your constituents is far down the list of priorities for Iowa's Hate Party delegation. Serving a convicted felon is. By the 2026 elections, they'll count on Iowans to have forgotten this treachery and will spend millions on ads condemning Dems as woke perverts.

Barry has provided a template to us in states and by other opponents of the Trump agenda. We could add the actual, broken promises by Trump. I could even see town Halls by opponents, candidates, no candidates, activists, etc.and use Barry's wording to announce the town Halls.

There was a time when Grassley was a good senator; it seemed to take a turn when we lost Tom Harkin. I think they were a good mix and had a nice friendship and a combined sense of who Iowans were and what they needed it. That never seemed to develop with Ernst who may be the biggest mistake Iowans ever made. Grassley should have retired before the last election if not the one before. Somewhere in that time he lost himself and became just another politician. I did a couple interviews with him when he was sharp and knew well what he wanted to do and knew the subject and history inside and out. I think he is way out of his league with this new brand of Washington politicians who are more interested in getting their faces on the news than passing good policy and have no clue about our political history. It's time to go home to the farm Chuck.

Why did all four reprehensible Iowa Reps vote for this bill?

They love dictators who align with what they want, and are willing to swallow hard to vote for things they don't want simply because they lust for power and money.

They not only voted for it but lied about. Nunn (my rep and we've had an ongoing conversation about what he does in Congress. has done numorous statements about how he supports medicaid and other programs and yet he voted for this monster than goes then goes back to Washington and shows he's just another lying politician who will say and do any thing. I sent him an F U very much letter. This bill will effect everyone one of his constituents in a negative way somewhere. I thought when he was in the house, he had promise. He sure has been a disappointment since he joined the National Club.

Chuck Grassley actually has a message on his web page that tells Iowans not to v call. .He says send him an email instead. Maybe he’s going hard of hearing.
