Happy Wednesday....

In the what could go wrong category: Sec of Army says "we are shredding red tape" to get this done by 2028.

What's more distasteful--calling your opponent crazy or a law enforcement officer running for office and parading around in his uniform ? www.kniakrls.com/speaker-of-t...

Read the news so you don't have to do your own research.

Nobody wanted to take. useless course so the Iowa Legislature mandated it.

How can state funds be used to pay church pre-schools?

Can Iowans learn to appreciate the natural world?

You've gotta show me the candy before I get in the car is a creepy analogy, especially these days.

ICYMI: Here are 3 anti-abortion attacks Republicans have launched recently. With everything going on, it can be easy for this stuff to fly under the radar—but Republicans have not let up on  their extremist, anti-women crusade. WATCH ⬇️

Good morning. Today, Senate Republicans will have the chance to FINALLY join Democrats and pass our bill to pay TSA workers.  Every Senator will be on the record. Will Republicans seriously block TSA pay, again?

It really doesn't mean much if you have your IDs all lined up for the SAVE Act. There are bound to be more hoops.

A sham historical plaque on a golf course explains a lot.

I shouldn't have to go to a social media site owned by someone in the files to see how my elected official feels about the violent events we've been having.

I went to hear a talk about Iowa's black utopia, Buxton, last night. It was sponsored by a large, local company. Were the Epstein files mentioned?

Bad things happen and people forget. Don't forget. catherinehaustein.substack.com/p/presidents...

Pettiness and revenge.

A reversal of stupidity.

Why isn't the flag at half mast for Jesse Jackson?

Yes, we still have warships in the Caribbean,

So much for all the STEM cheering. bsky.app/profile/jhel...

Reminding everyone how much BS people were flooded with last election. This came free in the mail and was available at Hy Vee.

Green gas used on protesters. Anyone know what it is? My guess is this. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adamsit....

A look at last year's science news. catherinehaustein.substack.com/p/science-ne...

Our tax dollars at work recruiting domestic terrorists at gun shows and on-line: listeners of country music, true crime enthusiasts, and conservative radio followers.

New unwanted ship in the Caribbean. Natives think it threw out trash that attracted sharks that attacked a woman and killed her. Anyone know what it is?

A reminder: if a moving car is coming towards you, don't shoot the driver. Step out of the path.

When we look at everything getting blown up, don't forget food safety.

Another day, another warship.

Hanging out in the Virgin Islands.

An example of a politician who should be investigated not getting investigated.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Cruise ships to war ships. Spoiled view at a restaurant near Venezuela. Lots of money to "fight drugs" while pardoning drug dealers. Also, not good for turtles.

Worth remembering.
