From "KHOI's Capitol Week," some thoughts on the constitutional amendment that Iowans will vote on this November.

Eye-opening: State Senator Janet Petersen @janet4iowa.bsky.social revealed last Wednesday that Iowa now has only one investigator looking into student abuse, after that was moved from the Dept of Education to HHS. Also, "student abuse" is defined in a way that doesn't cover many types of abuse.

A clip from yesterday's House Appropriations Committee meeting, where Republicans advanced a bill restricting abortion medications. Dr. Megan Srinivas @meganforiowa.bsky.social pointed out some HIPAA problems: #ialegis Rs approved along party lines.

On Tuesday I asked Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate what assurances he can give that naturalized citizens won't be racially or ethnically profiled when they try to vote this year.

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

On Thursday I asked Iowa House Speaker Pat Grassley about House pages stuffing campaign mailers for GOP State Rep Jennifer Smith. ICYMI, @zacharyos.bsky.social's reporting on this (illegal) practice: iowastartingline.com/2026/04/22/i... #ialegis

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

From the latest "Iowa Down Ballot" podcast, a few thoughts inspired by the second #IASen debate and online exchanges about electability.

Since Randy Feenstra doesn't want to debate the other Republicans running for governor, I asked @robsandia.bsky.social how many times he'd like to debate his GOP opponent. #Iowa #IAGov

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

Rep. Thomas Massie just called out AIPAC for trying to bully Congress into voting their way, saying it's a referendum on whether Israel can "dictate" US foreign policy. He's one of the few who hasn't been intimidated by them so far. Credit: @tommyjusa.bsky.social | Source #IsraelLobby

Appreciate Secretary Buttigieg lifting up what we’re building here in Northwest Georgia. People showed up. Not for politics as usual, but because they want change and leadership that’s focused on them. The energy is real. Leadership matters. And we’re just getting started. #GA14
