On Saturday, border patrol agents tackled, beat, and sprayed Alex Pretti before shooting him in the back as he helped a fellow protester. Today, we remember Pretti and uplift the message from his family to spread the truth.

53 years after Roe, reproductive freedom should be guaranteed. Instead, MAGA lawmakers in Iowa banned abortion at 6 weeks & celebrate controlling our bodies while Iowans struggle for healthcare. This isn't leadership, it's dangerous overreach. That's why we fight for real healthcare access for all.

And THIS is why Gov. Reynolds is continually ranked the most UNPOPULAR Governor in America. Iowans want investments in our communities, not more hand outs for the rich and wealthy corporations. #ConditionOfTheState

1/ BREAKING: After pretending to care about our health care, Representatives Hinson, Miller-Meeks and Feenstra just voted AGAINST ACA tax credits. Somehow, we could afford tax breaks for billionaires but not care for 100,000+ Iowans?!

Paying $900 a year → $9,000 a year.
That’s the reality for Jill & so many Iowans after Rep. Miller-Meeks let ACA tax credits expire.
Tomorrow, the House votes on bringing them back. Tell your Rep: If we can afford tax breaks for billionaires… we can afford health care for Iowans.

🚨 THIS IS NOT NORMAL. 🚨
Rep. Miller-Meeks is on TV praising Trump’s military action in Venezuela, even though he promised to be anti-war and now bypassed Congress to implement a regime change. Does she even care that Big Oil got briefed before our Representatives knew what was happening?
