It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Iowa ranks last among states for the number of OB-GYNS per capita. State legislators are trying to recruit more, but some doctors say the state's strict abortion ban is partially to blame. n.pr/493YcAm
Iowa doesn't have enough OB-GYNs. Is the state's abortion ban part of the problem?

Joni Ernst’s lifelong legacy for women serving in the military from her time in the Senate is Pete Hegseth.
Every woman denied promotion, denied a job specialty, sexually harassed, or forced out for bs reasons, owes it all to Ernst and the Republican Party.

The first steam-powered passenger rail trip was on 27th Sept 1825 (200th bday is nuanced - regular passenger steam slightly later). Here's transport carbon footprint today - Eurostar easily cleanest cos fully electrified. I hope the next 200 yrs has even more (electric) trains! With lower prices...

Ranks of farmers are expected to have record corn and soybean yields this year. So far, China hasn’t placed a single order of U.S. soybeans for the upcoming market year. The absence has sent farmers across the Upper Midwest scrambling for what to do with the crops.
Without China trade, what’s next for Upper Midwest soybean farmers?
It’s been raining for hours in Ransom County, North Dakota. The weather reminds Mike Langseth why he has grown a bumper crop of soybeans.

Take a look at SF360, currently working its way through the Iowa Senate. It would make life-saving vaccines illegal in Iowa. The Governor claims she wants to recruit doctors, but her legislature wants to tell them how to practice medicine. Stop this ignorant bill. #iowa
