Have to know. Have you enjoyed Iowa’s beautiful lands and waters under the influence of cannabis @theswinerepublic.bsky.social ?

Property tax haters have a line that goes “you don’t really own something if you can be taxed out of it” and so? You could get hit by a bus tomorrow. Pay your taxes and don’t worry about it.

Please cover the India May guillotine story

Catches the spirit though

Somehow not about Donald Trump

Can we get a cannabis farming operation in every county in the state? @theswinerepublic.bsky.social

Feenstra campaign now trying to drum up support by rereleasing the Joni Ernst endorsement from 10 months ago

Whatever he meant he sounded dumb

This was the second position he laid out. The first was to ban pornography for children through executive order “if necessary” ??? Was up there ranting about smut like someone’s not cool grandma.

Not the first time Steen has gone full Islamophobia in the campaign

Out of left field

This actually happened

BREAKING: Iowa Democratic State House candidate @mayforiowa.bsky.social calls for legalizing guillotine for capital punishment

Not a lot on the campaign finance report for these types of easy sheriff’s races, but all the donations over $1,000 are either employees of the sheriff department, building trade unions, or this contractor based out of Waterloo.

He’s going to be so insufferable the rest of the campaign. No pressure from any other campaigns because they’re all worthless. Just smirk and tell everyone how great you are again.

And just recently one of the leading Republicans running for Governor said a student with two moms shouldn‘t be allowed in religious schools

I have once or twice but I think this means you’re not a business person

1. Cops are definitely lying sometimes when they say they’ve been assaulted

3. They exposed the organized retail theft line as a corporate PR scam years ago

Iowa GOP Chair Jeff Kaufmann tries to make the reasonable point that we actually don’t need a three strikes law, unlike what some corrupt members of his party might feel. But even has trouble coming up with more than a few serious crimes needing harsh punishment

If you ran an analysis on the people recognized in Business Notes it would be interesting that’s for sure

Laura following my prediction of a blowout win for STG a few months ago

You should start pushing a CAFO moratorium just to spice up the election season (and it’s a sensible policy question but that’s not really a reason to write about it)

Fact check on this @theswinerepublic.bsky.social ?

Mostly this means justifying closing a school in a working class neighborhood

Delayed because Strait of Hormuz?

Article well over a month old at this point and the relentless, bad faith attacks on Josh Turek by Zach Wahls are coming every day. It’s like Wahls thinks that he should be the Democratic Senator from Iowa (as he surely has dreamed) or else we should be stuck with a Republican. Terrible.

Jacob Hall of the Iowa Standard (main anti-Feenstra blog) had Steve King on to talk about how to beat Feenstra, and a commenter asked about a vote to block sexual misconduct allegations released by Congress. Watch in real time as he realizes this tanks the entire GOP ticket lol

Congressman King demands the podcast be released
