Wow! When you drive through Charles City today, if you don't know what happened 50 years ago, you'd never suspect it. But if you do know, you can look around and still see some signs of it. It was an amazing recovery by the town.

Today is the 50th anniversary of the tornado that tore through Charles City, IA just before I was to give my students at Charles City College their final exam. The aftermath was devastating but in true Iowa fashion, the community came together to rebuild and support one another.

My mom (from Lowden) was student teaching there that day and in the aftermath my dad who was only dating her at the time came up from Mt Pleasant to help her collect what belongings they could find.

Hey Senator—you want us to see this as a metaphor, right? You need to stop enabling the current tornado in DC that is tearing up our democracy. Honor the blue slip tradition. Stand up for what is right.

And to think, you went on to use Senate power to help hide a Russian plant in the Oval Office.
