I'm in Iowa, so yes, we do layer up and use blankets, all in an attempt not to raise my heat bill.

And honestly, I am making choices to defer health care, just all in great fiscal caution, as I'm looking at at least a $10,000 deductible.

There are millions of Americans that are affected by the loss of the ACA credits.

In Iowa specifically, there are around 100,000.

This isn't abstract.

These are real policy choices, errant policy choices, and they're harming real people like me.

And these intentions, and the intentions here that these leaders are supposed, these guys are supposed to be representing us.

Too many syllables here.

Yet, and they continue to disappoint us, they've just shown us, the Republicans and Donald Trump, how out of touch they are with real Americans.

Thank you for listening.

Thank you for showing up tonight.

Yes, yes.

Sure.

I first realized this in December when the temporary order was put through on...

Somali families and we were told let's watch our attendance and our attendance immediately dropped then the day after the Renee Good murder we had more than a third of our students absent and that's when it began and at that time we thought we had seen the worst and I'm about to share with you tonight

a story that happened that covers a 10 minute period of time on a morning.

I woke up that morning a little bit optimistic and we learned that 700 ice agents were leaving Minnesota immediately.

Little glimmer of hope.

Our second glimmer of hope

Our lawsuit to keep ICE out of Minnesota schools was trending really well in the media.
