Actions speak louder than words, Chuck...
After weeks claiming he's finally going to stand up for our farmers against Trump's disastrous trade war, when it comes time to vote Grassley shows his true face and throws Iowa under the bus.

Chuck Grassley says he rejected Senate move to end Trump's tariffs to let plan 'work out'

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, a free trade proponent, says he voted against the Senate measure "to give the president's plan (time) to work out."

More Americans are seeing through DT's lies. Tariffs are raising costs, the tradewar crippling markets, and cuts to healthcare & food assistance are hurting our families!
While DT funnels tax dollars to his friends, adds BILLIONS to the deficit with tax cuts for the rich, and sells access & pardons.

A coalition of more than 2 dozen state AGs & Governors are suing Trump for blocking the SNAP program's contingency funding from being used.

Where's Iowa's AG? Brenna Bird flew the coop. Instead of working for Iowans, she's holding an out-of-state fundraiser for out-of-state donors:

12% of Clinton Co. residents depend on SNAP benefits to feed their families, including seniors, disabled individuals, families with children, & veterans.
Meanwhile, Trump is refusing to allow the program's contingency funding to be used to help our families.

Candidate Nate Willems for Attorney General is crisscrossing Iowa to visit every county and talking to real Iowa families about their needs.
Meanwhile, MAGA Brenna Bird is off fundraising with out-of-state ultra wealthy elites.
Only one of these candidates is working for you.

MAGA republicans holding SNAP hostage in the government shutdown will not only hurt Iowa families, it will hurt our local grocery stores, especially in rural Iowa.

This weekend Trump began demolishing part of the White House and posted an AI video of himself as a king dropping feces on Americans.
These images describe the Trump regime perfectly.

The disgraced former Rep PLEAD GUILTY to wire fraud, embezzling, identity theft, fraudulently collecting unemployment benefits & more. Trump just commuted his sentence because he "voted Republican".
To our "law & order" republican friends, the corruption is in plain sight. Make it make sense.

President Trump commutes the prison sentence of George Santos

The disgraced New York Republican was sentenced to more than seven years in prison after pleading guilty to a litany of federal charges, including wire fraud and identity theft.

This coupled with Republican cuts to healthcare & Medicaid: Trump & Republicans are broadcasting to the nation that they genuinely do not care about your well-being.
