4 months after quadruple bypass surgery I was able to complete an 8 mile hike finishing at 12,000+ feet in @RockyNPS. I had two excellent guides who were very patient.

Let’s checkout the Capitol basement.

In his final game as head coach, @SEGaels head coach Adolph "Coach K" Kochendorfer goes out as the 1A #iahsbkb State Champion. The Gaels, led by @Hunter_Horn1's 21 PTS & a 19-0 second half run, get past Marquette Catholic in a 54-42 win. Kochendorfer, filled with emotion, called his final team "a bunch of good kids." 💚 @weareiowa5news

FINAL per @DanaBecker: St. Edmond 54, Bellevue Marquette 42. In head coach Adolph Kochendorfer's last game, the Gaels are Class 1A state champions for the second time and first in 26 years.

Drake whenever it’s time for Arch Madness, no matter the coach

Drake woke up today with a 13-19 record and a 9th-place finish in the MVC. It just beat #1 seed Belmont by 21 in the quarters of Arch Madness. The first time EVER that a 9 seed has beaten a 1 seed in the history of the MVC Tournament. Anarchy? Nope. Just College Basketball.

We are heartbroken to learn that Declan Coady—a well-loved and highly dedicated Drake University student studying information systems, cybersecurity, and computer science—was confirmed to be among the six U.S. service members killed in Kuwait on Sunday. He has bravely served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 2023 as an Information Technologies Specialist and had an incredibly bright future ahead of him. In moments like these, we must all come together to show much-needed love and compassion for the Coady family through this incredibly difficult time.

Congrats, Justin! Well deserved!

When Eric Saubert was playing football in high school, hardly any colleges paid attention to him. Drake was one of the few. He's turned into a veteran NFL tight end playing for the Seattle Seahawks in tonight's Super Bowl. desmoinesregister.com/story/sports/c…

@TheAndyKatz sits down with @DrakeBulldogsMB Jalen Quinn to talk about his personal success, Drake's big week, the culture in Des Moines, and what can happen the rest of the way. #TheValleyRunsDeep

@autismvotes I am so very honored that you chose to recognize the work and bill that championed which now helps Iowa families on the autistic spectrum. More importantly, I am happy for the families.

We are proud to present Iowa Representative Eddie Andrews with an Autism Speaks Public Service Award for championing HF 330 during the 2025 state session. This new law expands insurance coverage for autistic Iowans by removing all age and dollar caps on coverage of ABA therapy.

Thank you @iowadnr for hosting #firstdayhikes across Iowa today. Bonus? Jesse James historical site in Adair County.

Fun time to be in #NYC with fam.
