Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

Me, frantically trying to spin my 5-year/old getting her hand caught in a mouse trap:

“THIS IS SO EXCITING, in its own, you know, kinda weird way! HOW MANY OTHER KIDS TRULY KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE A MOUSE!” 🐭 🪤

How Trump dominated Iowa—and held back DeSantis and Haley. Psychological warfare, strategic miscalculations and a sweet-spot finish made the fmr. president’s comeback official. A behind the scenes deep dive from Josh DawseyMichael Scherer + Hannah Knowles.

I’m proud of some of the stories I wrote here in Iowa. 📰

BUT I’m way more proud that I managed for a week w/o my laptop charger, which I somehow forgot in my mad scramble to stuff my suitcase full of hand/feet/body warmers and a full body snow suit. 🔌

Even Iowa’s winter landscape this week seemed to conspire to showcase the grimness of the 2024 GOP primary. Abandoned cars dotted the frozen tundra every few miles like signposts, as if to say: This race is inhospitable to anyone not named Donald Trump. washingtonpost.com/elections/2024…

Weather/ turnout insight from a smart Iowa operative: Yes, as you may have heard, it’s cold here. BUT it’s not the cold that matters. Iowans do cold. It’s the conditions — the wind, the ice, etc — that could impact turnout.

Just heard my 5-yr-old explaining sleep training basics to my mother-in-law — “And then if she’s been crying for 10 minutes, you can come back in and rub her back” — and I’ve never been more proud.
