Other topics covered: Iowa angles on Trump administration policies, cabinet appointees, and NIH grants, an Iowa House special election coming soon, a Republican primary challenger for U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, two Iowa politicians joining Trump's lawsuit against the Des Moines Register and its longtime pollster, a casino (probably) coming to Cedar Rapids, and legislative action on bills related to education, CO2 pipelines, immunity for pesticide manufacturers, cancer, and vaccinations.
