Iowa's pro-starvation law was authored by a conservative dark-money "think tank" based in Florida: the #OpportunitySolutionsProject, the lobbying arm of #FoundationForGovernmentAccountability, run by #TarrenBragdon, a Maine politician with a knack for getting money from the #KochNetwork and the #DeVos family for projects that punish, humiliate and kill marginalized people. The Iowa bill mirrors provisions passed in #KY, #KS, #WI and elsewhere - and goes beyond them.
