Polls closed a few minutes ago and Democrat Renee Hardman has 73% of the vote in Iowa Senate district 16. Only a few precincts not counted.
Republicans will not win back their super majority.

Who decides what students must think? Iowa's universities and public trust
Wayne Ford: The issue is not conservatism versus liberalism. It is whether public education remains a forum for learning how to think.

Interesting article about litter in different neighborhoods in Manhattan.
Also includes a bit about how litter is managed in affluent areas vs. less affluent areas, which parallels our Downtown District and its Ambassadors program vs. the rest of the city on our own.

Republicans voted to install a documented anti-science, anti-vaccine lawyer as head of HHS.
Republicans sit by as he destroys public health and makes decisions that are already killing infants and will only kill more.
All of what is about to happen is preventable. Remember who did this.

DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor.
