He’s not playing around. I don’t put much stock in politicians and I’m sure he’ll be ruined soon, but I’ve been mostly impressed with Gov. Shapiro so far Just came to say I'm finding Josh extra sexy today cause I just filed my taxes and for the first time ever am getting money back from the state thanks to the expanded child care credit. I hope people realize where their refund is coming from!

Iowa is a fucking mess right now. The House passed a bill to arm teachers in classrooms. This absolutely terrifies me. I do not want my kids in school with guns.
They also passed a bill to cap travel nurse pay. So we can say goodbye to any travel nurses coming to Iowa. I don't understand how this is acceptable. Iowa nurse pay is already one of the worst in the nation.
There's a bunch more bullshit they are pushing through. I really hate it here.

It’s our fourth year. There’s soooo much pushback ( probably because districts can choose to arm staff individually here). My kid was like I don’t want to be in class with guns. 😢

There was a huge ransomware attack last week on one of the largest healthcare companies and I feel like it’s not hit the news at all. A company called Change Healthcare owned by United Healthgroup that’s main product is the go between to bill claims from provider to insurers and then send the electronic payments back was hacked. They’ve been down since 2/20 and there is no estimated date for them to be back up. It’s causing havoc for everyone. But the weirdest part is the response has been very lackluster. Just the same “our systems are down and we will let you know when they are restored”. Not to mention - all the data that is now in the hands of the hackers. This brings to the forefront several big problems in healthcare - data security, monopolies/too large market share, financial stability of providers (or lack thereof). It probably warrants a congressional hearing. But it’s unclear if anyone knows this is happening outside of the industry. Two of the biggest / fanciest hospitals in Chicago got hacked back in beg/mid February and they are STILL doing paper charting and trying to figure shit out. Never been so thankful to work for a state hospital. Hackers know we don’t have $$$$ haha

It was this State Auditor work around bill that had me wondering what other fuckery was going on over there. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLe4Nm62/

It's insane.

So if he's convicted and it's determined he cannot be president, will Biden just be uncontested going into the election?

DNW a firearm. It's already bullshit enough we're being trained to become human shields instead of, you know, putting the onus on the actual problem (read, the guns). Fuck that if they hand me the problem and tell me to die trying to fix it. Not in my job description, go get fucked.

I’m sure they’d put someone else on the ballot- or the VP candidate would become the P candidate. Though l don’t know how that works with finalizing ballots by a certain date etc.

I’m so sorry Iowa friends. That all is so fucked. People ask me why I won’t move back and I just don’t trust leadership there to have my family’s best interests. My gosh

I wasn't going to bring this here but it seems that the msm isn't going to talk Trump having a lot of trouble during the two speeches he gave yesterday. This first clip is a whole lotta yikes (also imagine the reaction if this had been Biden - would the Sunday shows be talking about anything else?).

This is infuriating but exactly what was meant to happen.

I’m surprised this isn’t a bigger deal generally, if Biden was acting like this it would be front page news for days. Also saw he repeatedly said Obama was president.
