💪👍

Oh my gosh ❤️‍🔥 Way to go Iowa!

I think if we had the mid-terms right now, we would see a lot of this. By the time the mid-terms roll around, everything will be gerrymandered, and the goons will be blocking the polls.

yay 👍😁

This gives me hope in a seemingly hopeless country.🫶

No one say anything! Shhhh... Let's just keep making gains and keep it quiet. Don't want the eye of Vonshitznpants looking this way. 🚬😎

Good candidates in bad times always win.

I don't think so!

Let's keep this momentum going...

Wonderful news! 💙

The person in charge of organizing the Iowa democratic candidate campaign should be commended.

It’s happening all across the country that’s why they are so scared

Folls are figuring out that orange adolf is no good for them

Beautiful! Policy over party.

If I were in politics right now, I would be so discouraged that I wouldn't run. God, does this mean the Iowans won't have a 67% majority? You did all that work for that? In the early 20th, they were 💙.

Hopefully with many many more around the country!!

Hey, maybe that pollster was actually right in the general election and they just freaking fixed it. Because we seem to do really well in these special elections, but we do really poorly in general elections. weird, right?

Congrats Catelin, on your Democratic Victory.

Look out republicans hear we come. Toot toot.

#LettersFromAnAmerican [Audio version, excellent for multitaskers.] The last paragraph talks about #Iowa 's #CatelinDrey and also #Georgia 's #DebraShigley who has great momentum to win in a runoff scheduled for September 23, 2025. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/august-26-...

People are tired of the bullshit, lies, graft and idiocy.

More like this.

Nice 👍❤️🙏

🗳 Amidst The Chaos & Regressive Nature Of MAGA Government Control, This Is Fantastic To See! Thank You, George For This Update & For All That You Do!! 👍

Golly. Maybe fascism isn’t any more popular in Iowa today than it was in 1946. One can hope….!

In the long game does it really matter? Look around. Read Project 2025.

🤯❤️❤️❤️

OUTSTANDING !!! Joni Ernst, ARE YOU LISTENING ⁉️⁉️⁉️ “ We’ve all got to die, sometime “ ‼️‼️‼️. Have a nice trip 💀

Cleveland rocks!

Well done Iowa 💙

A twenty point swing is what we saw here in the uk when the tories totally collapsed last year. His may actually be something too big to gerrymander…

IOWA!!!!!!

I'm hoping it's a sign of things to come.

You and me both

Farmers are practical people.

www.270towin.com/news/2025/08...

Cross your fingers the country is waking up !

Awesome!

Hopefully setting an example for the rest of the country!

Let's flip be some more!

I still think this is a good strategy: win down the middle. Win the hearts and minds of a few normal republicans, pull them over, and we win their seats.

Iowan here. Most of us are getting tired of the authoritarianism. Our POS governor has also decided not to run for re-election. She’s been holding us back for almost a decade, good riddance!

Perhaps prior elections were rigged. OR people are seeing the light.

Blue wave coming

Pay attention to Zach Wahls, also from Iowa, who's running for U.S. Senate.

What's afoot is the stench of Agent Orange.

Iowa still sucks!

Is the something afoot in Iowa bankruptcy?

Maybe Ann Selzer was dead in, and something e.l.s.e. happened.

It's the corn.

This. 💯

This news piece gives me hope...

And we also just had a court case in Utah doing away with our current gerrymandered map!

They are working hard to rig the midterms.

Woohoo & Just Awesome news!!💙💯💙

BRAVO 👏 👏

I love Iowa….a dear friend passed away and was a huge advocate of their University’s seed program. They keep all sorts of seeds in a huge collection. I’ve supported them for a long time. seedlab.iastate.edu

218 as of Today. The fascists are raging forward. Fascists at all gov't levels. I am being ASKED why I am protesting by TEACHERS!!! They had the summer off, why have they missed what is happening? Please do SOMETHING to save Democracy! youtu.be/O6EzqLPbMt8?...

Good job Caitlyn!

Yea this gives me hope

Trump won’t allow midterms

Whoohooooo!! Love to see it!

Whoop! Whoop! 👏💙👏💙👏

That's great news. Side note: The fact that Democrats have fallen into this supermajority abyss in so many states is a REAL problem. Not winning local and state elections for decades has a cost.

If only they could get rid of Ernst or Grassley the Ancient One.

👏👏👏👏👏😘😘😘😘😘

The tide is turning

The good guys won!

Gotta give it to those woke people.

Largely a farm state. The clue bird is landing on some people’s heads - TACO doesn’t give a flying fig about them.

They can how the other policies are "helping them".

I've heard some referring to this big, historic win as a "mandate"...

MAGAs haven't learned from farmers. Mono culture farms are prone to disease and failure. Whereas diverse culture farms prosper even if one of the individual crops fails.

I’ve been thinking of moving to Iowa in a few years but the politics scares me. This is a good sign!

In my experience (lived there almost 9 years) Iowans are generally smart and thoughtful. I was shocked when they were hoodwinked by Trump. Looks like they are coming to their senses and realize the current GOP is no longer their party.

Yay! 💙🇺🇸

Congratulations! Now sock it to them with a vengeance!

Working on it!

It's more than a foot - it's a mile!

That district is as red as it gets. Former Steve King territory. They'll need to cheat to win now because no one is buying their bullshit anymore. Oh wait, they already are...

Now, let’s send Ernst packing. After all, we’re all going to die, right?

Hopefully EVERYONE understands the assignment this time 👵🏼✊🏽

👏👏👏

If the Dems win the midterms it will be in spite of, not because of, its leadership.

@georgetakei.bsky.social ... it honestly was shocking when I saw this last night. Living in the opposite corner of the state from that district, it was just honestly shocking. Wish that I could say something like that would happen in this area. Too much red and somehow still worship the orange turd.

To be fair, there's a good chance Trump didn't win the district. He certainly didn't win the election.

People are figuring out that republicans are nazis... Easy to flip after that.

And pedos/pedo enablers. Don’t forget that.

👍👍👍👍💖

Gaman 🙏

Way to go Ms. Drey.

Congrats! Keep our winnings coming💪🏻👏🏻

Maybe law-abiding, brown Jesus morality will make a comeback?

Whoop 🙌 Whoop 🙌 Goooooo Demoooos

Can it be maga is starting to see beyond Donnie's bullshit?

SO PROUD OF IOWA! 💙👏

It’s happening folks. Farmers are smart cookies. They are being broken by the MAGAts.

I'm just waiting for her opponent to say “it was stolen” or “It was rigged”, you know, the same old normal Reptilian strategy to claim election fraud with no evidence or proof required like they did Allison Riggs I think it was in North Carolina.

I think if I was one of the four republican congress people from Iowa, I might start worrying just a bit

I pray it’s a trend!

Thank you lovely lady for your service and your family

I recall a decade or 2 past, Iowa was a Democratic State.

This is why Trump (let's be real, Stephen Miller) will declare martial law and cancel the 2026 midterms. They know they will lose majorities in both houses.

Baby steps right! They still gave Chuck “old ass NAZI” Grassley!

Wreck it Reynolds left a disaster. Maybe some of the people are figuring it out.

Too late for many farmers who are going belly up. And they voted for this shit.

tide is turning 🌊!

This is the Kansas effect, where years ago Republicans got a legislative supermajority and went way overboard on conservative policies that turned out to be really unpopular in practice because they degraded the quality of life so they let more Democrats back in just to keep shit semi-sane.

All my people say: FUCK. KIM. REYNOLDS.

YES!!!

I think the Republicans’ poor behavior of late will lose them a lot of elections. They know that, which is why they’re gerrymandering on steroids. They will claim democrats fixed the elections, but it’s a result of their bad behavior.

Congratulations!

she ran against "coastal elites" so she smells more manchin than AOC but party on i guess.

This fucking madness needs to stop!! We the FUCKING PEOPLE need to stop this madness right now!! We can by DEMANDING the full, unredacted (excluding victims) Epstein files. These clients are powerful and may be influencing our government RFN!! Stop the insanity and put pedos in prison! A 2fer!

ernst’s knees are shaking really bad right now. I am betting that either she won't be running re-election or she will lose in a very close contest. P.S. I have lived in IA for over 20 years so I might know something about IA politics. But then what the heck do I know.

56 yrs. I endorse this.

Ernst's comments about the loss of health care coverage should be played on every platform repeatedly. It was the dumbest thing any politician not named Trump ever said. For some reason I thought she had a modicum of sense, but apparently not.

Hopefully the citizens of this country have seen the light and have had enough of Trump and his party's shit. VOTE. THEM. OUT!

We need this 1000 times greater next November. The Republican cult must be destroyed.

Call me a conspiracy theorist but I believe the results of the last presidential election were altered. I find it interesting that suddenly all the polls are wrong only when it doesn't favor the GOP.

I firmly believe the results were altered and @smartelections.bsky.social has data to prove it.

I believed it from the moment they announced he “won” all swing states.

All I know is that every suspicion in my body was raised that night and it did not feel right. It was all too smooth for Trump. There is no way in hell that he won the popular vote along with all swing states.

I agree

I'll bet that pollster was right.

Ann Selzer and Alan Lichtman were correct.

I thought the Democrats were *hemorrhaging* voters? I see that posted all over by ppl who all use the word *hemorrhaging* like they're all getting a directive from somewhere, to repeat the SAME phrase. Weird, huh?

Lol! MSM can't be trusted!! They've been bought!! Boycott the lying MSM!! Wait, they knocked Dems. We are on board.

Perfect!

I knnnnew you'd like it! I just knnnew you would! *pants heavily*

🤣

I spent five hours driving in red rural areas between blue dots of Madison, WI and Iowa City this past weekend, and I saw ONE Trump sign (this was near Solon, IA, which has a home proudly flying the confederate flag). I made this drive a couple months ago and there were many more signs for him.

I go back to northwest Iowa a couple of times a year, into a big Trump/maga community. The number of Trump signs,flags, etc. has gone down considerably. The roaches are going back into hiding.

There was a house down the road from me that had three, THREE huge (7ft x 4ft) Trump signs on their front lawn facing a very busy street in 2024. I fantasized about cutting those signs down and/or burning them. Nov. 6th day after the election, those signs vanished faster than the Epstein evidence.

At some point, I kinda hope I get the chance to look at those people and go, “Was the money you got to promote a child-molester worth it, whore?” Cause they were clearly the people who sold their lawn out as advertising space for the pedophile when he was running.

They are secretly ashamed of him now and don't want to be labeled as a pedophile or racist. At least publicly. I've seen houses around me dump the MAGA stuff too.

There’s tons of Trump shit between Madison and Minnesota (the land of Walz). I don’t believe any of the backwoods, scared of cities, racist assholes regret what they’ve done except where it has affected them personally. They lack intelligence, imagination, and empathy. They can all die.

That sucks, I am actually driving from Madison to Minneapolis for a Lynx game tomorrow, too bad I will have to see gross signs.

I live in and drive in this area you mention. The Trump signs on homes in my neighboring towns disappeared this Spring. The only sign I know of near my home has collapsed on itself with weeds growing up around it. Makes me smile because it's so fitting

👍👍

In other good news the Cheif Justice of the Virginia Supreme Court is a woman of color!!! It was a blip in the news feed today but a monumental win for democrats, and a woman of color in Virginia!!!!!!

Another win in Virginia had a democratic woman appointed to Cheif Justice of Virginia’s Supreme Court!!!!

Good luck, Abigail @abigailspanberger.com from DC. Go get them! 👏💪👋

In a red district Stump won big in 2024

😈👏👏👏👏👏

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The push to take our votes away will increase

Yay!!!

Haters will say it's fake

It could have been a close one if Musk was involved. I'll say Whew 😅

Congratulations 🎉

There is no legal way trump won. Start with that.

The fact that there could've been a second "win" when he was guilty of inciting the J6 riots should tell us the win was rigged. But by WHO exactly and tRump boasted about his lockdowns during the Jab warpspeed period. He praised Schwab at Davos yet said he was against the Globalists so 180 degrees

Things aren’t looking good for Republicans, and Trump knows it

Iowan here. More of this kind of energy!!!

So my donations weren;t wasted. Oh,Yay us!

Revolutions start in the provinces.

👏👏👏👏

By 9%? Not even a close call.

I guess people there decided they don't actually like the fascism they voted for last year...

Harris actually won Iowa and Anne seltzer was not wrong. That too will Come out as more data is analyzed.

Harris won the 24 election

We must keep it going in all states starting now. Fight like hell to get everyone to the polls.

Way to go Iowa! ✌🏼💙

Hopefully this is a sign that the gerrymandering won’t matter.

How are so many people still voting for the GOP? Given all the horrors and harm the Republicans are unleashing, what is leading so many voters to cast their ballot for a party so obviously anti-democracy and fairness? Is it 'just' cruel racism?

They all watch Fox News exclusively.

Racism, xenophobia, and misogyny. Quite the recipe required for GOP voters.

Absolutely

Just a vibe, but it feels like some serious electioneering happened last November

Yes. Yes it is. It’s sociopathic lack of empathy.

Because it's a cult and a cultural identity. Many people would much rather cling to their identity and cultural beliefs than acknowledge the people who represent their values are liars and grifters. You're talking about undoing decades worth of brainwashing. There's a lot of denial.

They are either bigots, stupid, rich, or some combination thereof.

The media they consume leave them in a constant state of fear and hate and ignorance. If we want to break the spell, we have to do something about that.

Shits popping off in Iowa… Never thought I’d say that.

I think a lot of it is the misinformation they are fed and them also not paying attention to what’s actually happening. But yes, a lot of them are just cruel & love what’s going on. Until they become the target.

Anybody with a functioning brain left Iowa 30 years ago and infected Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota with conservatism.

They hate who trump hates. Thats it. Oh, and they’re utterly and irredeemably stupid.

Problem is Dems not voting.

If we get a fair vote we win.

That's still a lot of people voting against her considering the political climate.

Perhaps pedophiles in charge, US military in American cities, kidnapping and concentration camps,, Russian alliances are a bit too far, or food and gas prices are just too darn high. Whatever the reason it is a win for democracy

Not so sure. There are a hell of a lot of racists in the state. It's where I was born and raised, and I am so glad to be out of that crappy state. Our family was from Illinois from long before it was a state. Back in Illinois now to retire in a few years.

Congratulations 🎊

Well done indeed!

We just begun!! 💙🖖

By landslide you mean 600 votes in an off-year election. I’m hopeful but this doesn’t necessarily mean the tides have changed. Dem Party approval ratings are still in the trash can.

I’m so excited that she kicked ass!

Portuguese President - Trump Functions as Russian Asset (How far the USA have fallen. The US chicken propaganda news does not say anything, do a google search and see what they say on this) www.thedailybeast.com/portuguese-p...

Yes. I’ve said for awhile to watch Iowa

👍🏻

Everyone's losing their farms.

Let’s hope this Dem can claim Iowa’s governorship!

WTF 45.5% sickos!

🙏

Great job Iowa!!!

Boom.

Fired up!

💙

Trump won this district by 11.2 points in 2024. Now seven months into his Presidency, another Democratic candidate in a Special Election, wins a State House seat by a landslide! The second flip of a MAGA state seat in 2025!

I feel like all elections will go this way if the MAGAts aren’t able to rig them.

This is great and love to see it. Question though, how the hell did GOP get 45% of the vote after what they are allowing to happen?

Baby steps lead to big ones!😊

Something’s happening here!

There could be a lot more wins for Democrats if they had representation in races. organizations.ballotready.org/research/unc...

Hello beautiful💓💓💖💝 I love your post, and you seem like a nice woman. please can we be friends if you don't mind

No bailouts coming this time

Very good news

Uh ohhhhhh....

Whatever. The most important is next year elections.

Maybe the Midwest is learning how to do the math

Many Iowans hope so!

The stupid can’t be fixed so it has to be voted out.

Dems need to fight and fight hard to get these gerrymandering MAGAts out of office - it'll be a tough fight, but this shows the Dems can do it.

Oh, hell YES!! 🙌

Things a looking up!

The chuds look up

THIS is exactly why they want to steal seats because they know the majority of this country hates the gop, hates trump, hates project 25, hates doge and will vote their sorry asses out of office if given the chance. We need to steal seats too until we can set things straight in this F’d up country

Finally, something that can be called "Good news" (& not just charitably.)

The senate is irrelevant.

🤗

Not saying is a bad sign, but this election only has 7.2k votes. Do we know how many voted in the presidential election?

"And don't speak too soon For the wheel's still in spin And there's no tellin' who That it's namin' For the loser now Will be later to win For the times they are a-changin'" -Bob Dylan If you JUST CAN'T VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT, sit the next few elections out. You will be in our Thoughts and Prayers too.

I do hope so George

I'm slowly starting to regain some pride in being an Iowan.

Chuck Grassley and Jodi Ernst on line two.

They need to go! It's my understanding that Grassley is grooming his grandson to take his place. I hope Iowans are smart enough not to fall for that!

It's about time

Hopefully transfer them both to line 86.

The Iowa GOP chair, Jeff Kaufmann, said that “democrats were so desperate to win, they sent 30,000 volunteers.” Jeff seems to be out of touch with Iowa voters. Democrats were determined to keep democracy - they volunteered to do the work.

If this trend continues. Iowa will get rid of Joni "were all going to die" Ernst next year

Feed her to her pigs!

😈😼🙌🏻

She is not running I believe.

Well, we are all going to die and she’ll get over it, right Mitch. I try not to be consumed by anger but daily events makes me feel that there is no republican that is deserving of respect let alone to be in office.

Remember when Kansas blew the doors off a vote regarding abortion. Don’t get your hopes up! PS - Thank you Iowa.

People are pissed. No amount of gerrymandering can change that.

Exactly what sister district and other groups are working on every damn day! We can make a difference!!
