HUGE FLIP: Democrat Catelin Drey wins deep-red state Senate seat in Iowa, breaking the GOP's supermajority. Drey won by 11 points in a district Donald Trump carried by 11 points last year. It's another massive overperformance. The Iowa GOP should be very worried for the midterms. Our full writeup:

BREAKING: Voters BEGGED Joni Ernst to understand that cutting Medicaid and food assistance will KILL people. She shrugged and said: “Well, we’re all going to die.” No empathy. No shame. Smile on her face. If you’re broke, sick, or hungry—die quietly.

People, can we stop negatively harping on how only 14% of Iowa GOP showed up to vote?
— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) January 16, 2024
And not dwell on how this means only 7% of Iowa GOP voted for Trump?
Let's TRY to be positive & just remind the media how this means 93% of registered Iowa Republicans didn't vote for Trump.
Trump won the Iowa Caucus with about half of 14% of registered republicans. He got a total of 56,280 votes.

We’re talking about 56,280 people here. I’ve had tweets with more likes. So maybe calm down, media.

The state of Iowa will not apply for a Summer 2024 EBT program to feed kids.
— Iowa Starting Line (@IAStartingLine) December 22, 2023
In a release, Gov. Kim Reynolds said the program isn't sustainable and "an EBT card does nothing to promote nutrition at a time when childhood obesity has become an epidemic."

This glorious @Peggynoonannyc line on Ron DeSantis should be quoted at every opportunity during the 2024 campaign. DeSantis, she wrote, "carries a vibe...that he might unplug your life support to re-charge his cellphone." https://t.co/gVqUB3SubH
