I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream.
Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

Republicans said they’d cut the deficit.
They are exploding it.
They said they wouldn’t touch Medicaid.
They are gutting it.
They said prices would drop.
They are skyrocketing.
Republicans lied to and bamboozled voters.
End stop.

BREAKING: I just offered an amendment on the floor to give Veterans fired in the Trump-Musk layoffs their jobs back.
Every single Republican blocked it.
Shame on them for betraying our heroes.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

BREAKING: I'm placing a hold on President Trump's nominee for U.S. Attorney in DC.
For the past few weeks, Ed Martin has been a one-man wrecking ball. Threatening political opponents, firing public servants, and using his office to chill free speech.
His nomination must be blocked.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I just wanted to note for the record that we have a decorated Iraq war veteran who flew combat missions in a Blackhawk as sitting member of Congress! Who also happens to be a woman! And if you don’t know who Tammy Duckworth is, you’re in for a treat (complimentary).
