All the Chief's Men: How Coralville's Flock Contract Bypassed Oversight How Flock leveraged a dysfunctional city council to install surveillance cameras in Coralville, Iowa without proper oversight or approval.

"The entire process, from its inception to its chaotic public defense is a testament to a government and its corporate partner that believe democracy, accountability, and truth are obstacles to be routed around, not a duty to be fulfilled."

Not loving the "wine moms" descriptor. The women involved in the protection of immigrants were organized, extremely intelligent, determined, and SOBER.

Pavlovitz: "[Trump] is the vile personification of the Ugly American. [A]s long as represents and holds power over this nation, we will be a dangerous place, a fractured mess, and a global embarrassment. He will ever be lowering the bar of our legacy in the world."

They say you need a good elevator pitch to run for office.

Well, here's mine. My name is Taylor Wettach, and I'm a 7th-generation Iowan. I quit my job as a lawyer after my law firm caved to Trump. Now, I'm running for Congress to flip Iowa's 1st and take back the House.

We have failed to protect our water in Iowa and, as a result, we have the second highest cancer rate in the country.

Can someone please explain to me how Trump "inspired" RFK's and Hegseth's fitness challenge? Give me a break.

I served as a federal prosecutor for close to 20 years. This story made me sick to my stomach.

Was in Denver yesterday for a wedding and the gorgeous protest marched right past the hotel and entrance to the church. Protesters chanted in unison while peppering in shouts of congratulations to the bride and groom!

As a former federal prosecutor (for 20 years) I agree with every word in this letter. We took an oath to uphold the Constitution, not to capitulate to the whims of any President --for all the reasons that are abundantly clear right now.
