At 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, @Rushthewriter and @CEHildebrand are watching Alien: Romulus (2024) for AMS. They'll use #GravitysComingBack. It's been a minute since we've done a movie from the Alien franchise. This will be a fun one for AMS. I mean, they all are.

Former Sheldon resident Bob Vander Plaats encouraging Grassley to retire. Grassley said he won't retire before Rob Sand takes office in Iowa.
With all earned respect, I encourage good friend @ChuckGrassley to reconsider his decision not to retire from US Senate. His service is legendary. Drop the mic with great and rightful applause by showcasing cause/Iowa/Country above self. siouxcityjournal.com/news/st…

This includes some of the pics from Sand’s earlier modeling career that Republicans posted on social media during the campaign to try to get voters to oppose Sand. Those pics are now a tshirt.

Something a few of my students floated as an idea today: White House Press Secretary Ashley Hinson 👀

Of Iowa’s current 6 members in Congress, only one (@ChuckGrassley who wasn’t on the ballot) will still be there in 2027. 4 new members in the US House and one in the Senate.

Whoops. Forgot to announce the day and time. We'll blame it on poor early polling. It's at 7 p.m. on Thursday this week. #GoodNightBlueCheese.
It's election day. What better time to announce the next AMS movie. @Rushthewriter and @CEHildebrand are watching The Purge: Election Year (2016). They'll use #GoodNightBlueCheese. This should be fun. You may hear us mention all the more boring laws we'd break.

After Kansas change, this was expectation for Iowa. @JenniferJJacobs with first word on this.
NEWS: Trump's in-person Iowa rally this weekend, scheduled for Dubuque on Sunday, has been canceled and replaced with a tele-rally, according to three sources familiar with the decision. The idea is to maximize Trump’s time and reach as many voters as possible, one source said, and tele-rallies allow him to cover more ground.

At North Liberty City Council tonight. An adorable, probably 8 year old, just walked up to me and said, "Excuse me. Would you like a sign?" It said "Get the flock out of North Liberty." Sometimes the ledes write themselves.

Everyone went through their talking points, read The REVIEW in Saturday's paper for it. Now Hinson and Naig are making their rounds in the room ... with Stacy's Mom playing as one of the songs. I will leave it at that.
Hinson is going up against Sioux Center volleyball tonight as up the road, the Warriors are hosting Sergeant Bluff-Luton in a Class 4A go-to state match. There might be a portion of this group going over there shortly. Hinson is supposed to go on at 6:45 p.m. here

This comes almost a year after U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra announced this run for governor at Dordt, where he used to teach. This is in the same building, smaller room though from his announcement in November.
