WATCH: Trump administration quietly revoked guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions
Pro-life, huh?
State Rep. JD Scholten, a Democrat from Sioux City, is taking his anti-monopoly argument on his run against Republican US Sen. Joni Ernst.
At a Parkersburg town hall, Senator Joni Ernst faced fierce pushback as she defended the Trump Administration's cuts to Medicaid. India May was in the audience when she shouted at Ernst that "people will die" if kicked off Medicaid. Ernst responded, "Well, we all are going to die." The exchange went viral and prompted an equally tone-deaf apology video from Ernst the next day.
On the latest episode of Cornhole Champions, Amie sat down with May to talk Ernst's response, Iowa's health care crisis, and May's campaign for Iowa House in 2026.

Federal and state budgets are connected. When fewer Medicaid dollars flow to the states, those cuts have to be made somewhere.
There are only so many ways that states like Iowa can deal with House Republicans' proposed cuts to Medicaid: decrease service or the number of people served.
