Grassley and Ernst split on infrastructure proposal
Iowa senators Grassley and Ernst cast opposing votes on a large infrastructure bill. The measure would allocate over 4.2 billion dollars for Iowa road and bridge projects as part of a 1 trillion dollar package. The Senate passed the plan 69 to 30, with bipartisan support, and it moves to the House for action. Grassley urged that the investment would benefit Iowans for decades.

Animal rights groups sue over latest ag gag law in Iowa
A coalition of animal rights and public interest groups filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday challenging Iowa’s ag gag law that tightens trespass penalties at livestock operations. They claim First Amendment violations and seek the law declared unconstitutional and enjoined. The suit notes previous attempts to bar farm investigations and cites a 2019 hog farm incident linked to Direct Action Everywhere and a 2012 law struck down as unconstitutional.
