The Iowa Lege has just passed – and the governor has said she will sign – the Jon Green bill. www.radioiowa.com/2026/04/23/i...

As best I can tell, everyone agrees the current jail is a miserable mess. I don't think "do nothing" is a responsible answer, so I am working to develop a proposal for the voters – the Board will not decide this ourselves. 1-

The Secretary of Defense has declared war on one of my policy planks.

Had almost forgotten about that one time the water plant got smoked by lightening and I had to flush hydrants. Almost.

Here we go, again.

That's us, folks, and mostly points north and east of Johnson County, until 2200L.

Probably not a great sign that I need to open the article to learn whether his being the antichrist is a good or bad thing to said fans?

Glad we found the biggest possible rake to step on.

Oh yeah

Yesterday I joined @terrellforcongress.bsky.social and friends to talk about the leadership we demand – and deserve. dailyiowan.com/2026/04/12/j...

While our school shut down these depts/programs and majors, the state leg launched a new barrage of bills vs the university, targeting teaching content, president hiring rules, residency quotas/visa limits, and trying to mandate “civics” courses for all students—but only taught within this center.

What if the measurements are sound, but we're measuring the wrong things? "How precarious are you?" That's the nut.

Two hours!

I've avoided naming it as such for a spell, but. We exist in a state of exception.

Someone didn't get the memo on etiquette.

You beautiful boffins. Welcome home.

*exhale*

Tomorrow. Join us at The Green House (apropos!).

Loser shit.

Bilbo and Frodo had their ring. I had token.

@joshuajfriedman.com Mr Mayor, a quick word of thanks to the community. I've been on here on and off most of the evening, and am aware of the video Trump posted. I have not seen it.

"only a quarter"

Seems you and I aren't the only ones living in a degraded information environment.

R state senator: it's confusing for cops. D State senator: how is it confusing? R: I didn't say anything about confusion. They can just choose to ask for a different form of ID! Love the list of ALL things johnson county has been targeted for. 🎯 They get a daily @modestholdings.com report.

Thirteen days to impeach and remove might be optimistic.

Anybody file yet?

I made a related argument yesterday: Democrats are generally better stewards of tax dollars, and better at Governing, because we believe in the positive purposes of government, and we want to get good stuff done.

Everyone. Us Americans. Certainly the Iranian people. And damn near everyone else on the planet.

That's two weeks to file of impeachment. That is the Congress's only job. That's it. Nothing else.

We Johnson County supervisors spent a good portion of today engaged in strategic planning, and boy howdy it felt like writing the river with a fountain pen.

I would posit a good deal of our political dysfunction is due to the hollowing out of local news. It isn't the only thing, not the biggest thing, but it is a vital piece of our information ecosystem that has been badly degraded.

His backbone is stuffing and his brains a pudding, and I've done insulted two delicious sides.

Having an administration that’s very overtly in favor of performative war crimes is bad. But let’s not pretend this isn’t simply a reflection of American culture. Plenty of Americans reject the concept of war crimes and are enthusiastic about doing ANYTHING to enemies.

His Easter morning post. And just 2 days ago, one of his “religious advisors” compared him to Jesus Christ. He will forever be a stain on this country. And the world. 25th Amendment. Now. And to everyone else who, unlike Trump, understands & celebrates today - Happy Easter.

Wild to think: we've got people out there, Moon-way. A reminder that we can, in fact, do amazing things.

Don't mind me, the atheist at the Seder the night before we have mom over for Easter supper. Whatever you find holy, I wish you Godspeed.

It is that time. I know there are a thousand worthy causes, but I hope you will support my efforts to bring progress through perseverance. secure.actblue.com/donate/green...

If he pulls this off, I propose we dedicate the facility for the incarceration of all of the criminals in this administration once we take back power.

If we can do a thing, we can afford it.

It's an experience to hear the radio warning of the tornado you're driving by. Hope everyone is ok, I'm awaiting damage reports.

If you plot this out, you will arrive at my house.

Johnson County: Tornado Watch until 8:15 tonight.

A battle flag, that.
