When I read @IAGovernor's statement on Trump indictment Friday, I knew I needed to write about it. But it took me a while to organize my thoughts.
Grateful to my husband @KDWilliams7, who wrote a book about Václav Havel and was an excellent sounding board. https://t.co/IRERXaXlEs

I'm an Iowa taxpayer and a homeowner. I have no children.

Still, I'm happy to see my tax dollars go toward education. All I need in return is accountability and transparency — and private schools are not required to provide any.

Disappointed? Yeah, that's putting it lightly.

[Josh Mandelbaum @Josh_Mandelbaum]

The Governor should probably reflect on equity and vouchers a bit more. Kids and families in Iowa will be left behind, and schools will lose much needed resources, just to give vouchers to wealthy families already sending their kids to private school. #NoVouchers

[Randy Richardson @RandyOnEd]

After subsidizing private schools to the tune of $900 million I should never hear an Iowa Republican label a Democrat as a socialist. #Hypocrisy

My mom’s annual “home for the holidays” email to me and my siblings just dropped. An incredibly thorough, detail-rich look ahead at how it’s possible for me to gain 15 lbs in one week.

The documentary on the takedown of Ticketmaster by rabid Taylor Swift fans is going to be so good.

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field.

Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: https://t.co/63zxpNDi4I

What a disgusting human

[The Associated Press @AP]

As President Biden began to talk about his son’s death, Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert yelled out to blame him for the 13 service members who were killed during the U.S. withdrawal in Afghanistan.

The comment drew an outpouring of boos from Democrats.
