There’s a national push to aid military children in schools. It’s called the Purple Star Initiative, and the #ialegis passed a bill directing the state DOE to institute it. What is that? Why legislate it? I wrote a bit about that: 600wmtradio.iheart.com/content/2025...

Iowa landowners have been showing up to the state capitol for the better part of four years, making their case against eminent domain for pipelines. They've had success, but today their case took a step it never has: passing a Senate committee.

Protestors have once again gathered at the Iowa State Capitol, opposing legislation removing Gender Identity from the Iowa Civil Rights code. State senators are technically in caucus, but a number of them are watching on.

Pictured here, Janice Weiner (D-Iowa City) and Scott Webster (R-Bettendorf).

Bird’s eye view this morning inside the Iowa Senate chambers. They’re expected to vote on Senate File 418, which would remove gender identity from the state’s Civil Rights code. A party line vote is expected in the Senate, but crazier things have happened.

I don’t even remember what website it was, but Drake played Nevada last year on some random service and I ended up paying for 3 months because I completely forgot about it.

Football is going to have priority this time of year, especially with the NFL on. I think it’ll come for the Clones as the season goes on and they keep winning games.
