Surprise! MAGAs Choking Medicaid And Drug Insurance

Posted on August 1, 2026 by Dave Bradley

What?! you didn’t think this would happen?

2 minutes:

Certainly the Republicans wouldn’t do this to their own voters, would they?

Well guess what loyal Republicans! This is only the vanguard of what is to come. The ultimate goal is to shut down Social Security, Medicaid, SNAP and any other program that helps anyone not already wealthy. Expect to see huge activity on these issues to get them through before the end of the Trump disastrous term if they can’t steal the election this fall.

Most people would recognize that destroying programs that citizens depend on just before an election is not smart politics. However Republicans are so desperate to kill social programs for the non-rich they are willing to take the chance. I am sure they figure they have ways to steal or deny election results and will be able to keep their majorities in congress.

To get to specifics it has already well circulated that thanks to the Republicans “Big Beautiful (ugly) Bill last year that gave billionaires huge tax cuts got that money for tax cuts by cutting Medicaid for the poor starting in January of 2027. The cuts were to the tune of over $1 Trillion. In Iowa that is expected to translate into over 100,000 people losing access to healthcare.

That size of cuts will affect healthcare for everyong in Iowa as jobs are lost and hospitals and clinics close. Not only will that make visits to doctors and nurses harder to get but also more expensive. Plus it will create the mileau in which people don’t get healthcare making infectious diseases easier to spread.

1 minute:

We are already seeing early effects of such closures. Many of the people affected by losing Medicaid reside in Iowa’s less populated counties. Since healthcare facilities struggle in those counties already expect that closures will have an outsized effect on those counties.

Last Monday the Trump Administration threw yet anotherbomb into their war on Medicaid and Medicaid recipients: They will be cutting subsidies for those who get Medicare drug coverage. While drug coverage will still be available, it may be prohibitively expensive or the coverage will be much less or co-pays may be much higher.

From iowaindependentnews.com we have a brief summation leading into their story on the effects of the Medicaid cuts in Iowa:

More than 600,000 Medicaid recipients in Iowa are struggling to keep their health insurance a year after the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law by President Donald Trump, according to a new report by Progress Iowa and Fairness for Iowa, two progressive advocacy groups.

The law cut funding for Medicaid and other federal health programs by $1 trillion over a decade and slashed funding for food assistance for low-income families in order to pay for tax cuts that mostly benefited the wealthiest Americans. Every member of Iowa’s all-Republican congressional delegation voted in favor of the law.

“This transformative legislation enacts tax cuts for working Iowans, permanently secures the border, and strengthens Medicaid for vulnerable populations while rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse,” said Rep. Ashley Hinson in a July 3, 2025, press release. “Nearly 80 million Americans voted for this commonsense, conservative agenda, and I’m proud to work with President Trump to deliver a stronger, safer, and more prosperous America and Iowa.”

The Medicaid cuts spurred closures and service reductions at Iowa health centers, the report says, forcing residents to travel further to access critical care.

Adding to the disaster is that many folks will be forced to work, even if they are not really able. The guidelines on who must work to get Medicaid benefits right now is really murky. There is a very good chance that even cancer patients will be forced to work in order to get benefits.

If you think you are somehow immune from the cruel and punishing treatment of the Trump administration, think again. No one is immune from them. And remember also that if their power is not curbed by a massive win in the midterms this fall, they will double and triple down on their cruelty.

If you ever had fantasies of doing battle with evil incarnate as you have read about in books and seen in movies and TV, this is your chance!. Vote for good government and for a much brighter future. Vote Democratic in November.

Returning To The Fifties

Posted on August 1, 2026 by Dave Bradley

5 minutes:

Watching bits and pieces of the show trial of former Center For Disease Control member and NIAID leader Anthony Fauci it dawned on me what the goal of today’s extremist right wing Republican Party is. Their goal is to break down any opposition to their absolute control of the apparatus of the state. And they have a model to guide them – the USSR of the 1950s.

Seeing Rand Paul take absolute control of his show trial brought up memories of the show trials that we would see in newsreels in the classrooms of the late 1950s. A victim would be sitting in a chair while a member of the state apparatchik would read charges and pronounce sentence. Then the victim would disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. We the students were supposed to get the message that communism was bad. Apparently some got the idea that this is how government should work.

 

We haven’t quite reached the stage where the victim is disappeared, but that is probably in the works. One major message to take from Wednesday’s show trial is that anyone could be the selected victim no matter what they have done in life or what side of the ideological spectrum they fall on. Get in the way of the dictator and BOOM! You are facing charges and punishment.

 

It was somewhat karmic that our wannabe dictator, Trump the First, started making reference to Communists as the Great Enemy recently. Most of America thought his calling out of Communism was really odd and signaled even more severe mental decline. However, this has been a trick of Trump’s to kind of tip their hand as to what may be their next tactic. Apparently, emulating the 1950s show trial in the Soviet Union is the next move.

 

As I said everyone and anyone may be targets of their regime. When it comes to public records few in this country have ever reached the level of Dr. Fauci. He saved millions and often squelched incipient pandemics. He served admirably under seven administrations. But somehow one day he said or did the wrong thing and became the first in what may be a series of show trials. Comey, Jack Smith – who else is on their docket? Biden, Obama, Kamala Harris?

By the way – did you notice that this hearing accomplished the one thing Trump wants more than anything – no mention of Jeffrey Epstein. And have you noticed that through this year so far Epstein’s name has been pretty much non-existent in the news media as Trump fails at his war; as he ruins the White House and grounds; as he replaces history with lies; as he insults our former partners across the globe; as he throws your money and mine into fixing his major bribe; as he manipulates the stock market for personal gain; as he pours our money into his family’s companies; as he openly takes bribes; and so much, much more.

 

So while the extremist Republicans indulge in their fantasies about Communists behind every bed but re-enact their absolute power of the 1950s, You – yes YOU – have the power to stop them. Vote! and get your neighbors and family to vote to knock Republicans out of office before their cosplay as dictators goes too far.

Remember that here in Iowa, we are at the very beginning of what will be a decimating period as Iowans lose access to Medicaid, SNAP benefits, Medicare Drug insurance subsidies and much more. remember that none of this would have happened without the aid of Senators Grassley and Ernst and Iowa four extremist congress members – Hinson, Zach Nunn, Miller-Meeks and Randy Feenstra.

You can be the hero you always wanted to be and help stop Trump crimes with a vote for real American values – vote for the Democrats this fall.

 

They deserve to be thrown out just as rudely as Rand Paul treated Dr. Fauci.

Farm Advocacy Group Endorses Turek, Bohannon, And Garriott

Posted on July 31, 2026 by Trish Nelson

From our inbox:

About Farm Action Fund
Farm Action Fund is a national advocacy organization dedicated to building a fair, competitive, resilient, and healthy agricultural and food system that works for farmers, workers, and communities—not just corporations.

Farm Action Fund Endorses Josh Turek, Christina Bohannan, and Sarah Trone Garriott as Rural Champions to Send to D.C.

Endorsement Recognizes Their Leadership in Fighting for Family Farmers

Mexico, Missouri –Today, Farm Action Fund’s Rural Independence Initiative announced a slate of endorsements in Iowa to send to Congress. Iowa’s economy has been hit hard by the farm crisis and needs a change from the status quo. The Rural Independence Initiative focuses on electing the best federal candidates, regardless of political affiliation, who support local farmers, rural America, and healthy food and challenge corporate monopolies.

Farm Action Fund is endorsing the following:

  • State Rep. Josh Turek for U.S. Senate against Ashley Hinson
  • State Rep. Christina Bohannan against Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks
  • State Senator Sarah Trone Garriott against Rep. Zach Nunn

Farm Action President and fourth generation farmer Joe Maxwell said,

“No other state has been so hurt by this current farm crisis than Iowa. Rural Iowa has continually seen farm bankruptcies, manufacturing jobs leave, vital health care clinics close and school consolidated. It’s clear something has to change. Josh Turek, Christina Bohannan and Sarah Trone Garriott all offer the change that is needed.”

All three of their opponents were an original sponsor and co-sponsors of the controversial Save Our Bacon Act which preempts the ability of states to pass food safety and agriculture production laws. A poll released by Farm Action Fund has shown Iowa voters rejecting it by a nearly 2-1 margin. In the 1st Congressional district, it was opposed by a margin of 46% – 22% and by an even larger margin of 48% – 18% in the 3rd Congressional district.

“It’s clear Iowa voters reject a China-owned pork corporation pushing to override state authority over animal welfare and food safety,” said Maxwell. “By promoting the Save Our Bacon Act, Ashley Hinson, Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Zach Nunn have jeopardized the livelihoods of independent family farmers selling into markets not controlled by Big Pork.”

Josh Turek for U.S. Senate

Maxwell said, “We are excited to give Josh Turek our endorsement for U.S. Senate because he understands that rural Iowa is confronting a “Farmeggedon” crisis. His prairie populism that challenges corporate monopolies squeezing family farmers is exactly what is needed against the current broken status quo. His excellent rural plan confronts corporate monopolies head-on by advocating for right-to-repair, mandatory country of origin labeling and breaking up monopolies so farmers can compete.”

The Iowa poll also found that support for the Save Our Bacon Act could create political challenges for Rep. Ashley Hinson. After voters were informed that Congresswoman Ashley Hinson supports the legislation, has received contributions from China-owned Smithfield, and that the bill could disadvantage Iowa farmers who have already invested in meeting state standards, 64% said the information made them view Hinson less favorably.

Christina Bohannan for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District

Maxwell said, “Christina Bohannan is the right person to represent Iowa’s 1st District. As the granddaughter of family farmers who suffered through the 80s farm crisis, she understands the struggles Iowa farmers are confronting because of corporate consolidation and monopoly power in the seed, fertilizer, meatpacking and other ag industries. Her engineering background also makes her an ideal candidate to finally confront Iowa’s water quality crisis that is harming the health of rural Iowans.”

Sarah Trone Garriott for Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District

“We are pleased to endorse State Senator Garriott for Congress,” said Maxwell. “She started as a rural minister and understands the struggles of rural Iowa when it comes to the farm economy, health care and water quality. She is committed to putting working Iowans first, not corporate interests. Her life has been committed to the service of others and that is exactly what America needs today, politicians who want to serve the people, not corporate interests.”

Farm Action Fund will organize, advocate, and invest in state-by-state efforts to:

  • Fight for people over corporate power
  • Break up corporate monopolies in agriculture and food systems
  • Restore fair competition and transparent markets
  • Support independent farmers, ranchers, and small businesses
  • Rebuild resilient local economies
  • Grow healthy food right here in America

In this short film, Farm Action Fund co-founders Angela Huffman and Joe Maxwell, both farmers, discuss working against monopoly control over agriculture. Huffman and Maxwell draw a straight line from the priorities of their own families and farming communities to Farm Action Fund’s work.

Five Alarm Fire Trump DOJ Files Emergency Appeal

Posted on July 29, 2026 by Trish Nelson

“Trump’s DOJ has filed an emergency appeal asking the Supreme Court to let his mail voting executive order take effect before the midterms — a move that could let the administration decide who gets a mail ballot and who doesn’t, just months before voters head to the polls for the 2026 midterms. Marc Elias, founder of Democracy Docket, breaks down what the executive order actually does, why the DOJ claims the states don’t have standing to challenge it, and why that argument falls apart.

Vote No On Constitutional Amendment In November

This year’s November 3rd ballot will offer Iowa voters the choice of accepting or rejecting an Iowa constitutional amendment that is similar to an amendment proposal proffered to
voters over twenty-five years ago.

If the amendment is approved by voters this fall, it will require a supermajority of vote in each chamber of the Iowa Legislature if a bill increases the individual income tax rate
or corporate income tax rate, or the rate of any other type of tax based upon income or legal and special reserves. This poses several questions. Is this necessary? Or is it another attempt by Republicans to control the business of future Iowa legislatures when Democrats are the majority party? What is “legal and special reserves?” Why did those who introduced this not consider sales tax, excise tax, real estate tax, etc.? Sales tax was a consideration in 1999, but legal and special reserves was not. What changed?

This similar scheme came before Iowa voters way back in June of 1999. There were two constitutional amendments to consider in 1999. Amendment 1 would have required the governor and general assembly to approve budgets for general fund expenditures that were no more than 99 percent of estimated revenues.

Amendment 2 would have required a three-fifths supermajority vote of all members of the state legislature to approve a bill that would increase income or sales taxes, or establish a new state tax. Voters rejected the measure with 52.0% voting no. The vote was held in the summer when proponents thought teachers, union members, government workers, and other voters who normally vote with the Democratic Party would be on vacation and miss the election. It didn’t work. The 1999 vote on Amendment 1 was much closer to passing (49.3% to 50.7%), but was defeated, as well.

Besides this year’s amendment reaching for two-thirds of a vote by both chambers rather than the 1999 version of three-fifths, there is also an ominous phrase in the middle of the proposal that requires voters to be knowledgeable of current law regulating credit unions.

Iowa attorney and former Legislative Fiscal Bureau analyst Jon Neiderbach explained that “Iowa has a moneys and credit tax on the legal and special reserves a credit union is required to maintain. The credit union pays this tax to the Iowa Department of Revenue.
There are a number of credits that reduce this tax. Federally-chartered CUs and State chartered CUs that convert to federally chartered CUs do not pay this state tax.” A federally-chartered CU is one that crosses state lines.

Legal reserves are funds required to be set aside as a safety net for an institution, serving as a safeguard against a future unforeseen calamity. Iowa banks are required to maintain
legal reserves as mandated by federal regulations, but there is no specific requirement for special reserves. The management of reserves is primarily governed by the bank’s policies and the applicable laws. Banks are immune from the proposed amendment.

“A special reserve is set aside for a ‘special’ purpose and can be only used for that purpose in the future.” So, when was the last time a tax rate was imposed or increased on a credit union? Currently, Iowa law requires one-half cent on a dollar. And according to Niederbach, “total revenues from this tax are significant (most recently it was $2.8 million in FY 2020).”

Most Iowans belong to a state-chartered credit union. According to the Iowa Credit Unions Online, there are over seventy-two credit unions in Iowa.

Similarly, Iowa does not require community associations to conduct reserve studies or to fund reserves at any particular level. Will this constitutional amendment affect HOAs,
condominiums, or other community boards if a law is enacted to secure special reserves for those entities? Yes!

There are other provisions in the Iowa Constitution that require a two-thirds supermajority. Calling a special session by the legislature requires a two-thirds
vote of each chamber. It requires a two thirds vote of each chamber to override
a governor’s veto. Impeachment requires a supermajority vote of both chambers as well as appropriating extra compensation for local or private purposes, whatever that means.

Section Twelve of Article VII (Corporations) requires a “vote of two thirds of each branch of the general assembly” when amending or repealing “all laws for the organization or creation of corporations, or granting of special or exclusive privileges or immunities.” To
my knowledge, this provision has never been used nor challenged in court.

According to the Iowa Department of Revenue, Iowa’s tax rates have not increased since the 1970s. Contrarily, rates have decreased in 1987, 1996, 1999, 2019, and 2023.

To answer the question of whether this constitutional amendment is necessary, I’m voting “NO!”

Sunday Funday: 100 Days To Election Edition

Posted on July 26, 2026 by Dave Bradley
2 minutes

Thom Hartmann reminds us in his Friday newsletter that we are currently in an oligarchy.  That is rule by the elite, usually the wealthy. He also reminds us the we have been here before, but have so far survived.

Hartmann also notes as we seem to once more be coming to a make or break moment that this has happened approximately every 80 years. This fall’s election will be the single point of the current iteration of choosing which path America will pursue – continued oligarchy or return to democracy.

Hartmann also notes that oligarchy is always a temporary condition leading either to full blown dictatorship or a return to democracy. I will see if I can conjure up a question or two on the subject. Meanwhile – another scary week as the US teeters in oligarchy.

A) What seemingly insane reason did the Trump Administration give for reimposing tariffs across the world?

 

B) Good work if you can get it. By what percentage has Ashley Hinson’s net worth grown since she has been in congress?

 

C) The House Judiciary Committee encouraged the DOJ to look into charging what former special prosecutor claiming he lied to congress?

 

D) In oligarchies of the US’s past, monopolistic practices sanctioned by the British government for what company led to the American Revolution?

 

E)  A man named Daniel Siad died in France last week. Siad had connections with whom that cast suspicions on Siad’s death?

 

F) A Mexican citizen was killed while fleeing what gestapo like US governmental agency while on vacation in the US?

 

G) In Hartmann’s cycle of oligarchy 80 years later following the Revolution would be the 1850s. What practice were oligarch’s involved in that led to a major US conflict?

 

H) What Candidate for Iowa’s Lieutenant Governor was deeply in debt but after he was nominated for the Lt. Gov. job suddenly had access to money to pay his debts?

 

I)  In a proposal that really tests the emoluments clause, Trump is offering for sale early access to what on his Truth Social social media?

 

J) The Transportation Department is moving to rename NYC’s Penn Station transportation hub in honor of whom?

 

K) The FDA claimed that lettuce first thought to be contaminated with the cyclospora parasite was actually a what?

 

L) 80 years following the previous oligarchic ascent in the US, what society changing event took place that led to a reassertion of democracy?

 

M) According to former ICE leader Greg Bovino, how many illegal immigrants are currently living in the US?

 

N) Iowa’s own Chuck Grassley made an impassioned speech on the floor of the senate a couple days ago decrying what awful situation?

 

O) In Texas, AG Ken Paxton is running for the US Senate. Last week it was disclosed that despite making only $153,000 per year he owned how many homes valued at what?

 

P) We are now over 80 years since the last oligarchic uprising, so we are overdue. What can you do to stop the oligarchs this time around?

 

Q) Guess we had a battle last week between two what that went rogue?

 

R) Trump seemed to show signs of dementia as he tried to hijack the celebration by what team that won the World Cup Sunday?

 

S) Trump announced a 50% tariff on products from Canada because of what offense that Canada perpetrated on the US?

 

T) What toxic masculinity influencer brothers were arrested in Miami by British agents in connection to sex trafficking charges?

It was communists when I was a kid. Then it was radical Muslims. Then Mexicans. MS13. Then any immigrant. Now we’re back to communists.

Grassley: Do We Pay Him For Crap Like This?

Posted on July 25, 2026 by Dave Bradley

Thanks to Chuckles Grassley the citizens of Iowa have really serious existential problems. Grassley and his party a little over a year ago passed a bill that literally took food out of the mouths of children and babies by slashing SNAP benefits in order to give the likes of Elon Musk and mark Zuckerberg bigger, bigger tax cuts.

 

In that same bill, Chuckles and his compadres slashed medicaid to the bones. Once again this will devastate poor people in Iowa. Grassley and the Iowa Republican caucus in congress will be simply devastating hundreds of thousands of Iowans without so much as a “sorry.” I have never seen such a group of callous, soulless , unempathetic bunch in my life.

 

Thus the senior member of the US Senate has shown over and over that he cares little if anything about everyday Iowans. For all he cares they can go die – just please do it quietly and away from cameras. But there is something he cares about.

Grassley cares deeply about rough play in the WNBA. Or at least rough play when it happens to Caitkin Clark. And suddenly he wants it to stop – at least against Caitlin Clark.

Caitlin Clark has suddenly found herself to be apparrently some kind of an adopted mrtyr for the extremist right wing Republicans. Following a nasty foul on Clark by a Phoenix Mercury player that was not called at that time observers actually politicized the play. This foul was used as an example of out of control games and it was implied that the black players were attacking white players.

Clark complained as she was right to do, the play was reviewed and a penalty was assessed after the game. Not what is ideal, but it was dealt with.

In this speech in the US Senate Grassley wastes our time and money glorifying Caitlin Clark. I have no doubt some one must have told Grassley this is a really big deal. There is little doubt what Grassley’s mission was to do here – bring out the race wedge without saying certin words.

When this country has citizens starving, people who are priced out of housing, people who are priced out of medical care, an illegal war started by our president blowing through money like there is no tomorrow, incompetence from the county courthouse to the half demolished White House, bribery at all levels of government, income inequality higher than it has ever been and an administration making world wide enemies — a foul on Caitlin Clark is all Grassley can think about? What a waste!!!

Well, Chuck, I hope the country is laughing at you. You really deserve to be laughed at. And then the conversation about you leaving the senate needs to get serious. Trump is showing serious signs of dementia and needs to leave.  After this speech, I believe you should start thinking about it also.

If you are concerned about finding something to do after you leave the senate, you kind of answered your own question. The WNBA needs referees – according to you. Put your name in now. I am sure they will have a spot for you next season. One thing to look out for, though. Girls now play 5 player basketball. No one any longer plays the 6 girl variety. All of the girls can now cross the half court line.

Oh and by the way – if you really want to help women, there is a group of women who are dying to get some help from somebody as important as you. They are called the Epstein Survivors. They were raped and had all sorts of abuse when they were under 18. They would really like some help identifying and arresting and bringing to justice the perpetrators.

There seems to lready be some work done on this. Information has been gathered into something called “the Epstein Files.” These Survivors need a powerful governement politico to get that file out in the public, Chuck. Can you help them?

 

You don’t need to fight Caitlin Clark’s fights. Caitlin Clark can take care of herself. If not her coaches and team hierarchy can help her. But theses Epstein Survivors really need your help. Are you in?
