Ran into Travis Terrell at a wildcat demo this afternoon on the Pentacrest. He's running for Congress, I'm running for Supervisor. Terrellforcongress.com

From an Iowa legislator.
Just wanted to let you know that the governor is filing a bill to prevent people from not lowering the flag ... so petty - not filed yet

I posted the attached letter this morning. I do not have Becca Good's address, and so I sent it via @timwalzparody.bsky.social, I hope he and the Legislature of the great state of Minnesota take its contents under advisement.

Let our law be a memorial.
Jon Green Chairman, Johnson County, Iowa Board of Supervisors 14 - I - 2026 Becca Good and the Bereaved Family of Renee C/O The Hon Gov Tim Walz 130 State Capitol 75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd St Paul, Minnesota 55155 To you and yours, I write on behalf of Johnson County: Our hearts are open and broken. We grieve with, and for, you. I write now on my personal behalf. I have asked the Johnson County Attorney to prepare an Ordinance to provide for relief, should a person have their Constitutional rights violated here. It will be titled as "The Good Law." Renee did not die in vain. There will be monuments to your fallen wife. This law will be one of the first, of many. I am so terribly sorry that the cost is yours to bear. We are here, for you. In solidarity, and in mourning, I am and shall remain, Very respectfully yours, /s/ Jon Green 5919 Sand Road Lone Tree, Iowa 52755

I ask @robsandia.bsky.social if he would push for the repeal of Iowa Code §27A and 27B?

Our chief mouser (pictured) has an unfortunate tendency to capture the kitchen mouse, play with the poor bastard, and let it go so he can chase him again.

Someone remind me the attendance at Miller Meeks' similarly hastily noticed town hall all the way down in Keosaquwa? There were more than 14 staffers (not counting security).
Of course, it's hard to get people in the door with little notice. I got the text from the Feenstra campaign at 11:04 a.m. the day before, about 27 hours in advance of the event.

A forlorn toast to the things we lost in 2025. One of too many to count, even if we must try.

Eleanore's absence leaves me with uncontested control of the kitchen. I'd promised to make our office staff a batch of escabache, so here we be.
Three vinegars, sugar, olive oil, pickling salt, black peppercorns, coriander seeds, marjoram, thyme, bay leaves, oregano, garlic, white onions, cauliflower, chilies, celery, carrots, a Big Grove Wild Eddy and grapefruit on the kitchen island.

That's a Hearthstone H2, by the way, the absolute king of wood stoves. It has not and likely never will be, bested.

Been in a theater twice in a decade, but Eleanore knew *right* where to hit me.

At Christmastime nonetheless.
Signal chat with Eleanore, indicating Die Hard will be showing at Film Scene. "date?"
