Tuition at Dowling Catholic is $12,800. Reynolds plan allows for $7,200 vouchers. Do you really think the poor are gonna come up with the $5,600 to cover the difference? This isn't bout equity. It's about lining pockets and destroying public education.

If you're reading an article about a criminal legal issue, whether it's a new law or a trial, and there isn't a single quote from a local Public Defender/criminal defense attorney, you're not reading objective reporting. You're reading propaganda.

Remember when the Governor had a tantrum over Biden's $10,000 student loan forgiveness plan? Then she turned around gave private school students $8,000 per year. You literally can't make this stuff up.

The irony of seeing Iowa GOP brag about educational freedom while they denied the wee same people reproductive freedom is astounding #iowa #irony #schoolvouchershurtkids #nochoice

Outside of Iowa's urban areas, public transportation is non-existent, Gov. Kim Reynolds. Families with two or more working adults often need two vehicles in order to get to work and transport children to school or daycare. What in the hell are you doing? #ChildrenFirstMyAss

law school: you must spend one semester writing a whole motion, it must be impeccable, well rooted in procedure, all of it. indigent legal services: motion for literally whatever the court thinks will let me pull this off

Watch: Sen. Sarah Trone Garriott explains the impact new restrictions on food assistance would have on Iowans already facing food insecurity and a lack of support: “We know that SNAP is at a 14-year low, but food pantry usage is at an all-time high.” #ialegis

The state of Arkansas has asked that my petition for DNA testing to be done be dismissed. They do NOT want DNA testing done. They are fighting very, very hard to prevent the world from seeing who carried out the murders of those three children. Why?

this should be a bigger story -- because of burst pipes in the DeKalb Courthouse in December, there are no jury trials happening until APRIL at the earliest!! just casually tacking on minimum 4 months in a cage for people who are legally innocent. ajc.com/neighborhoods/…

One thing that always amazes me about ProPublica - even after being here for three years - is it’s ability to come out of nowhere and clobber you with a story that the big guys missed or took for granted. Proud and insanely jealous of my colleagues Josh Kaplan Justin Elliott
