We literally have the largest bike-touring event in the world which has been an annual summer state tradition for FIFTY YEARS. There's a giant exhibit in the state historical museum about it. This is comical.
Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."

I haven't seen a single story explain that the lawsuit filed by Tierra Walker's family is part of a broader legal argument that women and pregnant people have a right to life. There are at least four state cases like this. Subscribe to @autonomynews.co for context you're not getting anywhere else
NEW: A Texas woman died after being denied an abortion and her family sued the state and her doctors for violating her right to life. They say the ban should be struck down. It's one of several cases challenging abortion laws under state constitutional rights to life and liberty @autonomynews.co

This is an extremely important detail certain Senators should pay attention to before voting on Blanche. Demand something from Trump not just Blanche.
FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
