I'm the cold one and have learned to take an extra blanket to bed. My spouse, the warm one, gets to control the thermostat. I can always throw on an extra blanket, but when it's sweltering and all coverings are thrown aside, it's hard to sleep.

As bad as it looks from the outside, Iowa is still a near swing state. Last election was a 44/54 split. The Republican 2016 take over gave Republicans the trifecta of house, senate, and governor. They hobbled the census, and threw out the historic joint commission of drawing new lines to reduce Democrats to have no federal representation.

Iowa is severely, blatantly gerrymandered, done by splitting the urban centers and extending the rural left. Iowa, under Republicans, has among the lowest population growth in the nation. The older rural population is stuck, but progressive, educated young leave the state in relatively larger numbers.

As you might guess, the educated workforce is in very high demand (as long as they do so in LCOL wages). These are the ones who are easily able to leave for better wages and amenities. On the other side, Republicans are older and dying off.

My first problem is that the GOP wants to have people's private vital information freely given to them and that people would be required to comply. Tying that information to activities of consenting adults will be misused. Blue noses can't keep their noses in their own business, and the possibility for graft and blackmail is immense.

When did the GOP start to care about children, anyway?

Involving others so there are witnesses may have saved his life, or at least more serious injuries. The driver is alive, so he at least accomplished that part.

If you went along with the crowd, it is not they, it is WE, who are the problem.

Then, there was the Middle Eastern prince, who's father, the king, was funding chairs and paying for a major expansion of the college. We will leave it with his having a different set of relaxed rules guiding him. The king was generous when his son did well in his classes.
