Just to be clear - Schools can't enforce a mask policy for the health and safety of everyone in the building but they can tell girls they can't wear a tank top because it's distracting.

So this took off a bit. Just a few things. @IAGovernor has mishandled this from Day 1. The duplicity of her statements and actions is evident to anyone who looks at this with a discerning eye. /cont #CovidKim #iapolitics #CCDems #IA04
By signing this in the middle of the night, it just reinforced how little she actually cares about the well-being of the people in the state. Masks help prevent the spread and not everyone is/can be vaccinated. #CovidKim #iapolitics #CCDems #IA04
1/1 This one goes out to @PatJGarrett the spokesperson for @IAGovernor because this is how the current administration in Iowa works. They only respond when pushed out into the glowing light of Twitter.
2/2 I live in NYC currently. I am from the great state of Iowa - home of Tom Harkin, Gov. Robert "Iowa Will Take All The Refugees" Ray, and HRH Cloris Leachman (a fellow Czech) - from a farm in the middle of Grundy County in Iowa's #IA04
3/3 NYC was one of the earliest epicenters of the pandemic. A decision was made to shut down the city overnight. What does that mean and how does it differ from "lockdown"? Here's lockdown in one of my favorite places on earth #Cambodia abc.net.au/news/2021-04-3…
19% of precincts reporting (all in Luzerne County) in #PA08 GOP primary to take on Dem Rep. Matt Cartwright. Former Trump admin official Jim Bognet leads 43-19
16% of precincts reporting in #PA01 Dem primary to take on Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, and Christina Finello leads 76-24. She became front runner after a better-funded opponent dropped out after filing deadline
48% of precincts reporting in #IN05 primaries. On Dem side, Christina Hale's lead has expanded to 39-27. For GOP, Victoria Spartz still up 39-19
Here is your 🚨 Super Junesday mega-thread🚨 with all the races @businessinsider covering today with results from our friends at @DecisionDeskHQ. Here’s our main post with a presidential primary map and links to the down-ballot races we’re watching:

businessinsider.com/june-2-preside…
First, there’s the Democratic primary for #IASen, where DSCC-backed Theresa Greenfield is facing Mike Franken, Eddie Mauro, and Kimberly Graham to run against GOP Sen. Joni Ernst. If no candidate gets >35% of the vote, the race goes to a party convention businessinsider.com/iowa-senate-de…
The most-watched House primary today is in #IA04, where embattled GOP Rep. Steve King — after losing his committee assignments and being largely shunned by his party — is facing a well-funded primary challenge from GOP State Sen. Randy Feenstra businessinsider.com/steve-king-vs-…

Tested it out with this new KY map. Based on 2016-2019 results, intrigued how it would do in 2020. The #KY04 (R+7 PVI) seems more competitive than the real #KY06 (R+9), with the movement in the Cincinnati and Lexington suburbs. 2/27 davesredistricting.org/join/d389d8e2-…
However, I also did a bunch of Democratic gerrymanders after 2012 redistricting to compare with the real Republican ones. Thought I’d review how my designs performed in light of 2016. The contrast shows just how much of a difference partisan control makes (spoiler: a lot). 3/27
3 hours until the @iowawingding starts and this is the scene outside. #iacaucus
Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus
A developing thread on #ElectionResults2018
How depraved are Republicans? They’d rather vote for criminals, buffoons, extremists, racists, bigots and Nazis than vote for decent human beings who want to help fellow Americans
Case 1: Nazi Art Jones got over 56K votes 27% in #IL03

Republicans re-elected Duncan Hunter. He and his wife are under 60 indictments for using campaign funds for personal bills like luxury vacations. Charges include wire fraud, falsifying records, campaign finance violations and conspiracy.

Nearly 39,000 votes have been tallied so far in the Fall 2018 Iowa Youth Straw Poll. Results as of now show @KimReynoldsIA ahead in #iagov race & @RodBlum with narrow lead in #IA01. #BeAVoter #iapolitics
In #IA02 @DrPeters4Iowa leads by 4 points and @DavidYoungIA is ahead in #IA03. #BeAVoter #iapolitics
In #IA04 @SteveKingIA has the lead. 84% of participants say they will #RegisterToVote when they are old enough. Live results available here: sos.iowa.gov/youth/poll/res… #BeAVoter #iapolitics Results are unscientific.
Holy crap. The new Sabato Crystal Ball House ratings change is...big.
This is the first time the Crystal Ball has given Democrats better than 50/50 odds of taking the House. And there is a LOT to unpack here.

Here are Sabato's topline changes.
5 races are no longer Safe R: #IA04, #IN02, #IN09, #PA16, #TX31
3 races shift from Likely R to Lean R: #AR02, #FL16, #NM02
9 more R seats are now Tossups: #IA03, #IL06, #KY06, #MI08, #OH01, #OH12, #TX07, #WV03
And #FL13 is now Safe D.

And #FL13 is now Safe D.
Here are a few takeaways:
-White nationalist Rep. Steve King has a credible challenge
-IN and WV have competitive House races (and the extra attention from Ds could help their senators here)
-#OH12 special is REALLY close
-Dem women vets (McGrath, Hegar) are kicking ass.
