California announced last week that it has added Iowa to the list of states on its ever-expanding “travel ban” list because of that state’s new prohibition against funding gender-transition surgeries under Medicaid.
The announcement by state Attorney General Xavier Becerra means that as of Oct. 4, California will no longer offer taxpayer-funded trips to Iowa for any public employee or student at a state-run university.
Becerra’s authority came from a 2016 California law signed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown that bars state-funded travel to other states that undercut LGBT rights. The blacklist already included Alabama, Kentucky, North Carolina, Texas, Oklahoma and Mississippi.

Ok Iowans. Add californicate to your lists
You can hurt them FAR more.

Ok, Iowa. Ban Cali from having any of your corn and they are not allowed to watch the History Cannel anymore or American Pickers.

How lucky can Iowa get.....
when was the last time you heard of a state gummit telling their citizens where they could travel?
Strange
Involuntary secession (expulsion) for the fruit-loop states.
That’s an amendment I’d support.
“Tolerance and inclusion” as demanded by the Nazis RATS.
California bullies other states, like China does neighboring countries. Two of a kind.
