Iowa democrats need to stick the stink of DOGE on Joni Ernst with gorilla glue.

I loathe her and her broken record on "government waste." What she sees as "government waste" is every program that is meant to help people live a better life. The way she sees the world is despicable.
Ernst is now a co-conspirator in the crimes being committed by Musk as he raids the U.S. Treasury and disregards all protocol of national security. There was a story earlier today that he attempted to enter a SCIF. He is drunk with power and out of control. Ernst is his partner in this.

Concerning the tariffs, Iowa exports $5.5 billion in goods to Canada annually accounting for 30% of its exports. The retaliation from Canada and the tariffs imposed by Trudeau are going to have a disastrous effect on Iowa's economy. Ernst needs to answer for that too. She needs to answer for the way she became a shill and a tool for a madman.

I look forward to the day that Joni Ernst is forced to answer for gleefully participating in this assault on American democracy.

Maybe then. It won't be easy. There will have to be enough votes to overtake the whole western part of the state, also known as Vichy Iowa.
But you never know. There have been Democratic governors and senators in the past. The state looks blood red, but it really is about 45/55. And democrats just flipped a State Senate seat in a district that Trump won by 21 points.
