117th Congress

Pareen Mhatre and Kartik Sivakumar have spent the majority of their lives in America. They went to high school in America, applied for college in America — but on those applications, they had to apply as international students.

Mhatre and Sivakumar, both University of Iowa students, are “documented Dreamers” — children who have grown up in the U.S. as dependents of their foreign-born parents, who are long-term visa holders in the U.S.

Despite the cold weather in Iowa this past week, the Easter season marks the beginning of spring. Warm weather, rain, and the creation of new life is just around the corner.

The grass has already become green and trees begin budding with new leaves. Nothing is more breathtaking than seeing the tulips and daffodils bloom across Iowa.

WASHINGTON (KWWL) -- Iowa's four U.S. Representatives have been sanctioned by the Russian Government this week.

The Russian Foreign Ministry formally sanctioned Representatives Ashley Hinson (R, IA-1), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R, IA-2), Cindy Axne (D, IA-3), and Randy Feenstra (R, IA-4), placing them on the Russian 'stop list' on a permanent basis.

MOLINE, Ill. — U.S. Representatives for the Quad Cities area aren't mincing words after Russia imposed sanctions on them and 325 other House members earlier this week. 

A statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry, translated from Russian to English, says these sanctions are in response to the latest restrictions placed by the Biden administration.

Looks like Illinois congresswoman and Moline Democrat Cheri Bustos will have to find new summer travel plans.

Sunbathing in Siberia or mingling in Moscow is off the table after Russian officials this week said "Nyet!" to any such consideration.

House Republicans, conservatives and property rights advocates yesterday threw their weight behind an Idaho couple’s request for the Supreme Court to narrow the scope of the Clean Water Act.
