but I plan on writing an extensive letter to Grassley to remind him of his former reputation as a proponent of government efficiency, standing against waste and abuse, and ask how rolling over for Trump-nominated incompetents is going to help the State of Iowa. If they are too busy to perform their constitutional duties for advice and consent, they need to cancel some meetings with right-wing billionaires.

Ernst is up in '26, right?

I sure hope we can find a Wellstone or Harkin-like candidate to bring prairie progressive voices to the fore once again, she is an ideological loon.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
