Violence has no place in our political discourse — period. It doesn’t matter how vehemently we may disagree, our commitment to peaceful dialogue must be reaffirmed. My heart goes out to Charlie’s family. Gun violence has tragically torn apart another family and it must end now.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the U.S. health secretary, will direct food manufacturers to phase out eight petroleum-based food dyes that are found in hundreds of thousands of grocery-store staples, the Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday.
RFK Jr. Plans to Phase Out 8 Commonly Used Food Dyes
The petroleum-based dyes are used in hundreds of thousands of items including cereals and sports drinks. More details are expected on Tuesday.

Our armed forces are not safe under Hegseth/Trump’s reckless “leadership,” and Joni Ernst made it possible. Shame on her.
And Thom Tillis, up for reelection in 2026, was the key vote to confirm Hegseth along with Joni Ernst. Despite the fact that they knew he was unfit, they were afraid of Trump and put their political futures ahead of the country. Now they own every bit of this debacle.

$71 MILLION in cuts to Iowa City’s NIH grants from the Musk-Trump admin. That’s not efficiency, that’s your loved one dying from an otherwise curable disease. Catastrophic loss for medical research. Why haven’t we heard Kim Reynolds, Joni Ernst, OR Miller-Meeks fighting to restore funding?
Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.
Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

Iowa has the fastest rising cancer rate in the US and a third of our counties are maternity care deserts, yet the only bill Kim Reynolds has signed this year is to take civil rights away from people? Oh, and she wants a $100k raise. She EARNED that least popular Governor title 👑

More than 60 major moves that President Trump and his administration have made in his first 23 days, including executive orders and agency memos, have aligned with proposals in the Project 2025 blueprint, according to a New York Times analysis.
How Trump’s Directives Echo Project 2025
President Trump attempted during his campaign to distance himself from the right-wing blueprint to overhaul the federal government, but many of his administration’s actions so far have mirrored it.

I just really can’t get over the fact that the Iowa legislature is poised to revoke minors’ ability to protect themselves from cancer via the HPV vaccine. The personal, conspiratorial viewpoints of parents who choose to not protect their children are viewed as equal in value to medical experts.
