TRUMP BACKS FEENSTRA - President Donald Trump endorsed Republican US Rep. Randy Feenstra in his bid for Iowa Governor. He is in a competitive primary. Before the announcement, he was being out-raised and at least one poll suggest he was losing his frontrunner status.

SAND’S 4/20 PLAN - Rob Sand wants to legalize, tax, and regulate adult-use cannabis in Iowa like alcohol — keeping tax dollars in-state, creating 7,000 jobs, and helping close the state’s $1.4 billion budget gap.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The push for health care privatization is built on a false narrative that ignores the data. It drains resources away from public hospitals and isn't a cure for staffing shortages. – Ontario Health Coalition 😠 #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #privatization

Privatization makes wait times worse. It just allows the wealthy few to jump the queue, pushing everyone else with greater needs further back. 😠 ~ Ontario Health Coalition #onpoli #healthcare #nursing #dougford #daniellesmith #markcarney #abpoli #cdnpoli #privatization

🇺🇦Ukraine is NOT russia. 🇺🇦Ukraine is NOT a russian colony. 🇺🇦Ukraine is NOT "within russian sphere of influence, and this should be given to russia as a property". 🇺🇦Ukrainians are NOT russians. 🇺🇦Ukrainian culture is NOT russian culture. 🇺🇦Ukraine will never be russia !

Don’t let Republicans lie to you when they say they are the party of free speech. President Trump is trying to use the government to stifle dissent. He has attacked ABC, the NYT, and even publicly asked his AG Pam Bondi to prosecute his enemies. This is Watergate in plain sight.
