to speak out in rural america. That is at the very least. Hopefully it is former Trump voters though who groaned.

So I sent her an email. I told her that I expect her to comport herself as an Iowan. Pretending that the president's words and actions are not racist is beneath the state she represents.
What disturbed me was the scroll bar for the subject of the email. It had all kinds of topics, from abortion to farm subsidies, veterans affairs, and "congratulations," but nothing to address issues wth the executive branch. It needs one.
