It seems Iowa Attorney General finds a reason to get on camera & in the press every day for one reason or another. I expect that will continue until she runs for governor to the right of Kim Reynolds. Bird stated after she came out as DJT’s primary Iowa state government endorser that Bird claims to represent Iowans more accurately than Reynolds on the national political scene. At that moment she declared her supremacy over Reynolds politically.
Brenna Bird’s anti-semitism commission may exist in name only at this point; but any excuse to held a press conference & keep her name in the news on a daily or almost daily basis will be advantageous to her political ambition.
I don't think Brenna Bird would ever run against Kim Reynolds, but if the governor decides not to seek re-election, Bird will almost certainly run for governor in 2026.
The state pays costs associated with the lawsuits. That can vary widely. It's more costly for the state to defend its own laws in court than to sign on to a multi-state action against the federal government (which may be argued in another state by that other state's attorneys).

Who pays for all these lawsuits against Iowa? Isn't it the taxpayer? Maybe it should come out of the governor and legislators own pocketbooks.
