‘Cornhusker Clink’ announcement catches city officials off guard in small town of McCook.
Iowa Republican leaders and school officials are condemning reports that a teacher celebrated the assassination of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, calling the alleged remarks “reprehensible” and demanding swift accountability.
Police were working Thursday to identify the shooter who killed Charlie Kirk on Wednesday. Authorities say the suspect “appears to be of college age,” and after firing the shot, they jumped from the roof and slipped away in the mayhem.
Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and close ally of President Donald Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday at a Utah college event in an act that the state's governor called a “political assassination.”
Trump has said he did not write the letter or create the drawing of a curvaceous woman that surrounds the letter. He filed a $10 billion lawsuit against The Wall Street Journal for a report on the alleged letter.
Friday evening — just days after she entered the race for Iowa’s U.S. Senate seat — Iowa U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson received the endorsement of President Donald Trump.
Saying it is time to give back to the family that has supported her during her career in public service, Iowa Republican U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst in a video message announced Tuesday that she will not seek re-election next year.
The fight over how to define Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill is likely to intensify as Hinson is widely expected to run for the seat of retiring Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa).
U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, an Iraq War combat veteran and Iowa’s first woman elected to Congress, is expected to announce next month she will not seek reelection, leaving another hole in an Iowa seat that could have ripple effects down the ballot as Democrats look to the state for pickup opportunities.
U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson, R-Iowa, touted her sponsorship of the Save Our Bacon Act and her support of President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” during several stops in northern Iowa on Tuesday.
President Donald Trump says the Senate’s century-old tradition of allowing home state senators to sign off on some federal judge and U.S. attorney nominees is “old and outdated.” Republican senators, including Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, disagree.
It was standing room only as U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders rallied hundreds of people on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour stop in Davenport. Sanders spoke critically of America's health care system, corporate influence on politics, and what he called a broken economic and political system for the working class.
Just days before national Democrats gather for their annual summer meeting, Iowa's state party officials on Thursday said it was a mistake for the party to have abandoned Iowa in the 2024 early nominating calendar and opened up the possibility of going rogue the next time around.
Iowa U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley on Wednesday dismissed concerns that he cut off debate before a vote to nominate an attorney who previously represented President Donald Trump to federal district court last week. The action caused Senate Democrats to walk out of a committee meeting earlier this month.
