"It’s in our nature to fight for the liberties and rights of our neighbors. Iowa Democrats are in this for the long haul."

- Ross Wilburn, Iowa Democratic Party Chair

• @RepMaryWolfe: "Clinton's parade was rained out, but local Dems (and a few Rs) gathered to hear from statehouse & congressional candidates @FrankenforIowa @JennyIowaHouse and @BohannanIowa."

• @VP: All across America I've met with our young leaders, frontline workers, and service members who keep our nation safe. Today and every day, let us celebrate the rich diversity and contributions of the American people. We have so much more in common than what separates us.
• Liz Mathis: Independence knows how to do a 4th of July parade. Rain or shine, wouldn’t miss it. Thanks, Buchanan County Dems!

• Unemployment cuts and garbage searches are some of the new Iowa laws going into effect Friday
• Reynolds’ Unemployment Cuts Will Hit Construction Workers Hard

• History made: Ketanji Brown Jackson sworn in as U.S. Supreme Court justice
