"This is how Rob Sand loses"—Zach Lahn's closing remarks from his rally in Ankeny on Sunday. (The column he's referencing was by Art Cullen of the Storm Lake Times Pilot) #IAGov

On "KHOI's Capitol Week," I put some context around Adam Steen's bizarre "Sharia law" comments from Monday. Audio and detailed written write-up here: laurabelin.substack.com/p/governors-...

ICYMI last week: Iowa House Republicans gave final approval to what State Rep. Austin Baeth (a medical doctor) called a “pro-cancer” bill.

Pulling an all-nighter is a terrible way to close out the Iowa legislature's work for the year.

Nate Willems wants to reorient the Iowa Attorney General's office to work for Iowans. (Brenna Bird has spent a lot of time and resources on federal lawsuits challenging Biden policies or defending Trump policies)

Democratic State Rep Heather Matson on why she didn't sign off on a bill restricting medication abortion, which was in subcommittee today: #ialegis

"This is government overreach"—part of State Senator Zach Wahls' remarks during Sunday's debate over a bill restricting medication abortion in Iowa. @zachwahls.bsky.social #ialegis

The first negative TV ads in the GOP race for Iowa governor went up on the air last Wednesday. We talked about it on the "Iowa Down Ballot" podcast. #IAGOP #IAGov

Are Republicans getting worried about the Iowa secretary of agriculture race? A national GOP group gave Mike Naig's campaign $150K this year—about three-quarters of his total fundraising haul. Democrat Chris Jones is making this election a referendum on water quality in Iowa.

A lot to unpack with Ashley Hinson's first TV ad of the 2026 campaign. (from "KHOI's Capitol Week") #IASen

Former US Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Netanyahu: "He told me in July 2009 that the Iranian regime was fragile and would crumble at the first attack. I told him then he was dead wrong — that he was underestimating the resilience of the Iranians. This is what he's been trying to sell for years"

Disability activist Alice Wong talked about cripping the world, or in her words, "to bend, compress, twist, subvert, imbue disabled wisdom into systems, institutions and cultures." Could we do it in the next hundred years, asks Laura Flanders in this week's closing commentary: bit.ly/4pxYUu2

Pinkwater 4 has never seen so many captains. While our players were busy dealing with the consequences of their very legitimate salvage, we prepared some stats from The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Beta.

Yes, the ruling in Virginia is devastating, unfair, and outrageous. But does it mean we’re not going to win the house in November? Only if we decide it does. We must not do that.

Our partnerships create proven solutions. In our 2024 fiscal year, our system helped 63% of people find housing, and it had an 88% success rate in preventing homelessness. The power of a unified effort is real.

Proud to have the endorsement of State Senator Tom Sullivan. He's a leader in CO for his work in gun violence prevention, a true public servant, & I'm grateful to have his support while we fight for a safer CO. I'll always fight to make CO a safer & better place we can all call home.

@floellabenjamin.bsky.social delivered a powerful message. Too many care experienced young people are still being failed. 1 in 3 young people leaving care experience homelessness within two years. #ChildrensWellbeingAndSchoolsBill #EndYouthHomelessness

Dr. Christy Perez reveals the "abolitionist" path on Casual Politics. 🏛️🔥 She explains how our divisions over race and gender are constructed to prevent "collective mass power." While we squabble, we lose our rights. It’s time to tear it down and start over. 🛡️📉 #CasualPolitics

Fans think Harry Styles’ new song is about Olivia Wilde, and honestly — yeah, probably. At this point Harry Styles doesn’t go through breakups, he goes through content cycles. Taylor Swift gets dragged for writing songs about exes. Harry Styles does the exact same thing with a little more reverb

“So long! Enjoy your flight!”

The strongest client partnerships I’ve seen come from teams that think a bit more entrepreneurially. Not just following a playbook, but adjusting to what the situation actually needs. It sounds simple, but it’s harder to do consistently. Sharing more in the video. #Entrepreneurship

I agree, in fact, I don’t believe he has the intellectual capacity to understand what he’s talking about.

Proud to introduce my team. They bring a wealth of expertise and always amaze me with their dedication to creating a better Virginia through policy and constituent services!

Q: Are we really gonna have a $250 bill with Trump's picture on it? Bessent: Well... uh, so... we are going to have the image of, uh, Trump, on the coin, and there is proposed legislation to put Trump on the $250 bill. And, uh, I think... Trump should be on there

Q: What was it that made you break with Trump? Trump voter: Just seeing the lies. He put us in a war. He's putting up gold statues of himself. When are people going to wake up? All those stupid rallies I went to... I got rid of my Make America Great Again hat. I can't even believe I wore that hat.
