Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists carried out the horrific October 7th attack against Israel. I will never forget the gut-wrenching images of families, women, and children brutalized by evil terrorists. I cannot fathom what the hostages endured, the trauma survivors and their families still carry, or the immense grief of those whose loved ones never came home. As antisemitism and threats against Jewish communities persist, we must condemn this hatred wherever it appears and hold those responsible accountable. I stand with Israel and Jewish people around the world.

The largest steel plant investment in U.S. history is coming to Iowa — creating over 1,700 high-paying jobs ($49/hour). Iowa has the best workforce in the world & we’re ready for this transformational opportunity. There’s no better place to invest than in Iowa!

Thank you @DepSecVaden for coming to Iowa and spending time hearing from Iowa’s ag community in Ogden. Our farmers are getting squeezed by high fertilizer costs, low commodity prices, and razor-thin margins. We had a good conversation earlier this week about what farmers are up against and the work being done to give producers some breathing room. I’ll keep pushing relentlessly to lower input costs, improve competition, and ensure our family farmers get what they need to do what they do best: feed and fuel the world.

Like so many Americans, I still remember where I was when I first heard the news of the attacks on September 11th — watching the images on television and trying to comprehend the magnitude of what was happening to our country.  But what stayed with me just as much is what came next. We saw strangers running toward danger to save people they had never met. We saw Americans come together with a sense of patriotism and purpose that was incredibly powerful. Even on our darkest day, we saw the best of the American spirit. For many Americans, September 11th changed the course of their lives. A generation of young American patriots answered the call to serve. Young men and women who were just beginning their adult lives raised their hands, put on a uniform, and made a commitment to defend a country they love.   Today, we remember the nearly 3,000 people who never made it home that day because of cowardly, evil terrorists. We remember our heroic firefighters, police officers, and first responders. And we honor the veterans and service members who carried the weight of defending our nation in the years that followed. There’s a whole generation growing up without firsthand memories of 9/11. It’s incumbent upon us to ensure we never forget.

America lost a legend today — Dolly Parton was a national treasure. We are blessed by all the joy and talent she shared with the world as well as her incredible generosity & kindness. RIP Dolly 🙏💕

It was an honor to attend the Veterans Day Parade at the Iowa State Fair this morning. 🇺🇸 This year’s parade not only honored our Iowa veterans, but also celebrated America’s 250th birthday. Seeing veterans of all ages come together was an incredible reminder of the generations of Americans who have stepped up to serve our country. Grateful for every Iowan who has worn the uniform, and for the families who have supported them along the way.
