MAHA had a rough election night. This mom saw it coming.

It was a bad Election Day for MAHA, and Zen Honeycutt wasn't the least bit surprised. The Make America Healthy Again activist — part of the MAHA mom coalition who helped propel President Donald Trump back into office in 2024 — had read the tea leaves for months: No matter how much she and other organizers still backed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the president's policies on pesticides were unpopular and harmed the movement.

Iowa’s pheasant season is underway

Iowa’s pheasant season is underway and Mick Klemesrud with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says now is a good time to come back to the hunt. Klemesrud says bird populations are as high as they’ve been in years, and that should provide a great time. “Pheasant hunting is a lot of fun, it’s exciting. You get the ‘rush of the flush,’ is what Pheasants Forever would push. And that’s true. It’s fun to see a rooster flush and see a dog work; you have that friendship and camaraderie and time outdoors,” Klemesrud says. If it has been awhile since you’ve chased the ringtails or you are new to the sport, he says the DNR website can help you. “And if you don’t have a place to go hunting, we do have options on our website, the Iowa Hunting Atlas, where you can go find all the public land that gives you an idea of what should be there for game. If you’re looking for something to do, come back out and give pheasant hunting a try,” he says. Klemesrud says the opportunities to find birds will get better later in November as the final crops come out of the fields. The pheasant season runs through January 10th.
