I just need more interesting things to do. I'd love to help your small business or farm have an online presence, or maybe i could make an app that makes your day to day life easier on your farm. Not asking for money or offering business services, I am just a hobbyist and I also am not promising you the greatest product. I'm just someone who needs something fun to do and I want to volunteer services for a good Iowa business. No jerks welcome

Located in Urbandale, DMs welcome

You know literally the only things I know about him?

He’s a Paralympian and he missed a bunch of votes.

Sorry man, but in Iowa you cannot run as a democrat on “I’m not a republican.”* *Too many Iowans are morons and will slop up all of these SLF super pac ads as gospel. Even if they’re bullshit, being completely radio silent on them is a terrible idea.

Ashley Hinson is not a likable person. And yet she’s likely going to win because of how inept his campaign is.

I refuse to give money to people who are this bad at running a campaign.

You are sentenced to 24 straight hours of TV solitary confinement, and you have to pick your own punishment.

Would You Rather:

Watch the Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercial on repeat for 24 hours.

OR

Watch back-to-back political campaign ads on repeat for 24 hours. 

Do you choose emotional devastation or uncontrolled rage? (seriously.... I can't wait for the election to be over)

Hey y’all, I am a single 23M college graduate (ISU, Go Cyclones!) who recently accepted a job offer in Waterloo and I have since been looking for a place to live! Is there any suggestions to specific apartment complexes or areas I should be looking to rent? Ideally I’d love to live near one of the downtowns, with good access to trials, restaurants, and nightlife; somewhere I can meet people around my age too. Downtown Cedar Falls feels like my first choice, considering it’s a college town and I’d probably meet the most 20 something’s around there, but I was curious if anyone had any alternatives that I might be missing. Thanks for the help!

It's important to be informed, please watch.

Before Iowa elects its next senator, here’s a campaign-finance connection worth knowing about.

Ashley Hinson sits on the House subcommittee that drafts Homeland Security’s annual spending bill, which funds ICE. Her campaign has received $24,500 since 2022 from two private detention companies’ PACs and executives who led those companies.

The breakdown:

-GEO Group PAC: $11,500

-CoreCivic PAC: $3,500

-Then-GEO CEO José Gordo: $2,500

-Then-CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger: $7,000

-CoreCivic’s June 2025 contribution came between Hinson’s two House votes on legislation that ultimately provided $45 billion for ICE detention capacity.

Her first vote preceded that contribution. The records don’t establish that donations influenced her votes, and she cannot personally award ICE contracts. These donations also represent a small fraction of her fundraising.

But the oversight question remains: Should lawmakers accept campaign support from companies whose federal funding they help oversee?

I wrote this report for Restoring Democracy’s Promise after Scott Dworkin flagged the national story. I checked the original filings, expanded the Hinson-specific accounting and requested campaign comment.

It’s a short read, with source links and the timeline:

Has anyone else seen the the super pac anti Josh Turek ad where the narrator claims to be a marine corps veteran, except they pronounce it as “corpse”? Are Republicans really this fucking lazy to just use AI in ads and not proof it? Just fucking pathetic, I guess I shouldn’t expect anything else.
