It would appear that Iowa’s Republican-led legislature is dead-set on turning this state into the laughing stock that most other Republican-led states are. Some achievements, in no particular order:

• “Republican legislator wants to track Iowa women that are searching online for abortion services in order to dissuade them”.
• “Iowa’s House speaker said he can’t make lawmakers wear masks — but he did enforce a ban on jeans”
• “Iowa is ranked 47th in COVID-19 vaccine supply. Gov. Kim Reynolds wants to know why”
• “Lawmaker introduces bill to ban transgender youth from getting gender-affirming care, says kids ‘will outgrow’ being transgender”
• “Iowa lawmakers push to bring back death penalty” #priorities
• “Iowa governor’s bill would reduce public school funding by millions, analysis says”
