New post by Ralph Rosenberg @IowaRalph: GOP lawmakers abandon Iowa's civil rights legacy (with details on how bill on boards and commissions "neuters the effectiveness of the civil and human rights agencies") #ialegis #civilrights bleedingheartland.com/2024/04/24/gop…
New post by Rick Morain: With all four Iowans voting in favor, the U.S. House belatedly approved aid for nations and peoples that desperately need it. bleedingheartland.com/2024/04/24/con…
Huge day at #SCOTUS as the high court hears arguments on Idaho v US. The future of emergency care in America hangs in the balance. Radical judges and rogue legislators should never dictate the care that I and my fellow emergency physicians can provide. huffpost.com/entry/opinion-…
Two stories I did last fall received awards this past weekend from the Iowa Broadcast News Association. It's a proud moment for a few reasons. One story is about the Hmong New Year celebrations and what it means to Hmong people from Minnesota down to Iowa. As a Hmong-American,…
New post: In the spirit of Passover, Ira Lacher offers two sets of four questions to each side in the conflict over Israel: the protesters and anti-protesters. bleedingheartland.com/2024/04/24/why…
All of this could have happened months ago if the House weren't so dysfunctional.
And just like that, it's today. Oral arguments start at 10am. I will be live tweeting in this thread. You can listen along here on the Supreme Court site: supremecourt.gov/oral_arguments… Or on C-SPAN which helpfully shows you who's talking: c-span.org/supremeCourt/

Justice Kagan just noted a fact we reported in Slate: In the short time that Idaho has been allowed to enforce its abortion ban against women who need emergency termination, SIX women have been airlifted to another state for care that's illegal in Idaho. slate.com/news-and-polit…

Just think if Republicans had accepted the bipartisan border security deal worked out by Sen. Lankford R-OK - they might be voting on both foreign aid and border security today. Instead, they got nothing and gave Democrats some tactical high ground.

Rick Morain: The U.S. Constitution requires only a simple majority of members of Congress to declare war. But most Iowa legislators think it should take two-thirds of their colleagues to raise state income taxes. Does that make sense? bleedingheartland.com/2024/04/23/pro…
In 2015, Branstad/Reynolds said privatizing Medicaid would save IA $232 million. This year, Reynolds/Republicans are giving the corporations $40 million MORE. Meanwhile, they denied Medicaid recipients in nursing homes their 1st "personal needs allowance" increase in 23 years.
A similarly terrible bill appeared to be on a fast track in the Iowa House and Senate in January. Not clear what gave Republicans pause about enacting this here. (would welcome insight from anyone who knows) #ialegis

The “we need to pollute Iowa’s waters to feed the world and make money” trope is a crass self serving lie. Only a few make money off this system, & Iowa ag doesn’t feed the world at all. We burn over half the 🌽 crop for ethanol tho. No cropaganda on 🌎 day or any other day.

Lara, you know why there was "a moratorium on the RNC for 40 years"? Because the RNC was caught cheating. The RNC was placed under a 1982 Consent decree for voter caging. Voter caging hinders an eligible voter’s ability to vote. The process involves efforts to identify and…

I tend to be pretty stoic abt my work despite how personal it is, but hearing the court debate whether states must allow a small subset of health-saving abortions hit today. It took me 4 high-risk pregnancies in 4 years to get my 2 amazing kids. 1/2
It’s generally not good form for an advocate to *laugh* at the justice questioning her, but somehow Prelogar even pulled that off today. Masterful and, as right-wingers like to say, rock-ribbed.
I've listened to every oral argument by Elizabeth Prelogar as solicitor general, and I can confidently say she sounded legitimately infuriated defending the federal law guaranteeing emergency room care at every U.S. hospital. This indignation may well be her finest moment.

I enjoy sex recreationally and only have two kids -- it appears that I am queerer than a 3 dollar bill.
Please notice that I did *not* ask your opinion on whether my family needs the car, or whether you personally think we should bike or bus instead. Did not ask, do not want. Don't be that person.
Twitter: this summer my household is temporarily going to contain 4 full-time-employed adults. To my chagrin, we're going to need another car. So we're thinking we want to lease a PHEV. Two Qs: 1. Which PHEV is good/best? 2. Uh ... how does one lease a car?
In fact I think this is a generalizable principle: building expensive new infrastructure in response to dramatic projections of demand growth is almost always a mistake. Demand almost never matches projections. Efficiency happens.
IDAHO: if a doctor says an abortion is warranted to protect a woman's life **but a prosecutor disagrees** then Idaho law gives the prosecutor discretion to prosecute the doctor.
