In Clive yesterday, Trump boasted about working with John Deere — which laid off 598 Iowa employees last year — on plans for two new factories. Neither will be in Iowa. The Iowans present cheered anyway.
Outside, roughly 2,000 protested, memorialized Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and shared donuts.

Update: The Trans bathroom bounty hunter bill in Kansas has just passed the Kansas House.
They have rushed it to the Senate for passage.
If it passes, the most extreme anti-trans bill in the nation is about to be sent to the Governor's desk.

And what is happening inside ICE detention centers? 404 Media also learned that the federal government claimed that the day after it was sued for allegedly abusing detainees at an ICE detention center, a “system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility.
ICE Says Critical Evidence In Abuse Case Was Lost In 'System Crash' a Day After It Was Sued
The government also said "we don't have resources" to retain all footage and that plaintiffs could supply "endless hard drives that we could save things to."
