Gov. Kim Reynolds vetoed a bill that would’ve put limits on how companies can use eminent domain to build pipelines. IA House Speaker Pat Grassley wants to convene to override the veto but Senate majority leader Jack Whitver says there’s not enough support for that @KCCINews https://t.co/St9Lobo8wg

Dems had already been eyeing Iowa as a potential pick-up opportunity & R’s were warning of softness too. Ernst’s Medicaid comments may give Dems an assist. Read why @JessicaTaylor moved this race from SOLID to LIKELY Republican. https://t.co/0ri5JdfoVm

IA no longer has a voice on the DNC panel that sets the presidential nominating calendar, after losing first-in-the-nation status for 2024. Scott Brennan, who lost his seat, says the move “doesn't seem to meet the promise the DNC made to have a fair process” in 2028. @KCCINews

Should Iowa still have 99 counties? One IA DOGE member says consolidating could “cut property taxes” as some rural areas struggle to keep staff & fund public safety. Others say 99 counties protect local control. Great story from @opheliejacobson https://t.co/o4kH4V8WY3

Will Gov. Reynolds sign a controversial eminent domain bill? It passed after years of inaction on the issue & as Summit Carbon Solution works to build a $8.9b carbon capture pipeline through Iowa Reynolds tells me she still hasn’t made a decision. Here’s what she’s considering: https://t.co/NaykzV6asV

I sat down with @IAGovernor for her first interview since the end of the 2025 legislative session. We talk about Medicaid work requirements, whether she'll sign a controversial eminent domain bill & what’s next for her after she leaves office @KCCINews https://t.co/VYB3wRdy8U

Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird seems to be hinting a run for governor. She just posted this video of clips of her with Trump, including one where he says “You’re going to be governor someday I predict” @KCCINews
