Good morning, Council Bluffs.

The Open Door Mission is asking locals to donate water, lip balm, hats and electrolyte drinks during the dangerous heat wave to help homeless people.

Donations are accepted today at the Garland Thompson Men's Center, throughout the week at the Timberlake Outreach Center, and at Council Bluffs and Elkhorn drop-off points (Elkhorn accepts donations Tuesday through Saturday).

U.S. District Judge Stephanie Rose issued a temporary order on Monday stopping 11 parts of Iowa’s new prescription drug law for the plaintiffs while the case continues in court—other sections of the law remain in effect as lawmakers and stakeholders prepare for further legal steps.

All six Iowa members of Congress voted for a rescission package that cut $9 billion in federal funding for public broadcasting and foreign aid last week—this measure passed with a 216-213 House vote and a 51-48 Senate vote.

Iowa public media groups now face sharp budget reductions as key programs like NPR and PBS see major funding cuts.
