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-...

Another survivor of conversion therapy testified at Thursday's Iowa Senate subcommittee on House File 2557, "an act allowing a person to raise, guide, and instruct a child in a manner consistent with the child’s sex." #ialegis

Iowa House and Senate Republicans are still far apart on property tax reform. One of the sticking points is whether to raise taxes on apartment buildings. From the latest "Iowa Down Ballot" podcast:

Even the Z-propagandists are starting to crack live on air. “The Kyiv regime mockingly calculated that if we continue attacking Ukraine at the current pace, it would take us 33 years to take Donbas. And they laugh about it.”
