MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN (December 23, 2025) — Andrew King, of East Moline, Illinois, a junior at Wisconsin Lutheran College, has been named to the college's Dean's List for the fall 2025 semester.

ANKENY, IOWA (December 19, 2025) — The Iowa Biodiesel Board is urgently calling on the US Environmental Protection Agency to finalize the 2026-2027 Renewable Fuel Standard rule by January 31, 2025. The agency has said that any delay into February or March would push compliance to June, a move the IBB says would create a catastrophic gap that Iowa's independent, farmer-owned biodiesel plants may not be able to survive.

BOURBONNAIS, ILLINOIS (December 19, 2025) — To qualify for inclusion on the Dean's List, a student must have been enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student and must have attained a semester grade-point average of 3.50 or higher on a 4.00 grading scale.

DES MOINES, IOWA (December 19, 2025) — During the 2025 Iowa Legislative Session, Defend the Guard legislation was introduced in both the Iowa House and the Iowa Senate. Had these bills been enacted, they would have required the United States Congress to fulfill its constitutional duty by issuing a formal declaration of war before Iowa National Guard troops could be deployed into active combat zones overseas.

Those bills were buried.
