On the 81st anniversary of his death, Iowan Pvt. James Lee Harrington of Cincinnati, Iowa will be laid to rest today. D-Day is a time to remember when ordinary people like Pvt. Harrington did extraordinary things in defense of freedom and democracy. We are forever in their debt. 🇺🇸

A video obtained by @nytimes.com clearly refutes the Israeli military's narrative on the aid convoy attack: Israeli troops opened fire on clearly marked ambulances that had their emergency lights on. 15 aid workers were killed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...
Video Shows Aid Workers Killed in Gaza Under Gunfire Barrage, With Ambulance Lights On (Gift Article)
The U.N. has said Israel killed the workers. The video appears to contradict Israel’s version of events, which said the vehicles were “advancing suspiciously” without headlights or emergency signals.

Last season, Iowa made its second consecutive national championship game appearance on the backs of Caitlin Clark and a veteran roster.

Now, Clark is gone. Then head coach Lisa Bluder is gone. And the team sits in 13th in the Big Ten.

Can the Hawkeyes adjust to a new era?
In post-Caitlin Clark Iowa, can the Hawkeyes adjust to a new era?
Jan Jensen has taken over as the Hawkeyes coach as they embrace a new era.

I’m humbled and honored to represent Iowa’s local media in handing out the Duke Slater Golden Gavel to LB Nick Jackson. The Golden Gavel is given to the Iowa player who not only is most cooperative with local media, but exhibits themself with professional integrity in all interactions.

Last year, when I was at MSNBC, I did a 10-minute deep-dive into RFK Jr's anti-vaxxer role in the measles outbreak that killed dozens and dozens of kids in Samoa.

I hope every Senator voting in his confirmation process for HHS knows about this crucial and awful story:
