Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

It is the fact that congressional Republicans have given up their role in the constitutional system as a check on the executive branch.

BAD ASS WOMEN OF HISTORY
Abolitionist Harriet Tubman was the first African-American woman to be honored on a U.S. postage stamp in 1978.
She helped bring other slaves to freedom, including some of her own family.

A textured white background with large black text reading, "Minutes" with a special educator arenโt always minutes of intervention. Below, smaller typewriter-style text states: Coteaching isnโt intervention. General push-in help isnโt intervention. These are "luxury goods." Intervention is a basic necessity. A small, simple clock illustration in the top left corner shows the time as 1:05. The "lead inclusion." logo appears in the bottom right corner with the tagline "all belong. all learn. all succeed."

Thank you, Bishop Budde, for bravely supporting our community and holding our leaders accountable.

The order had prohibited employment discrimination in federal hiring based on race, religion, and gender.

What does a defunded school look like?
A constant turnover of new teachers because of the pay rate. No science lab. No band. No track. No real cafeteria, just a warming center for pre-packaged foods. No school nurse. A lack of bus drivers and AP/dual credit classes.
