    Hey Iowans: you have a new Senator… Now is the time to demand Trans Rights Now.

    We’re not very pleased with you Turek but you may ride in on this blue wave… for now.

      Yeah, we have to shame them into doing what we went, it’s the only thing that works on dems. R’s could give a rat’s ass about shame.

    I don’t like him, but the good news is a big enough lead means we don’t need him on every issue (trans rights, cough cough) and can trade that with other tight issues with other senators who might have to avoid a vote that hurts their state but it’s a greater good.
