Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

Here's a story for #IdahoLegislature and directly for RepTedHill and his H273 bill for arming #teachers in schools which Hill refers to as "soft targets". Apparently DMV is also a "soft target". www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Major media use phrases like "boundary-testing agenda” and “defying the norms” to avoid calling Trump "fascist" or "authoritarian," which he is. It’s as if the media refused to call a hurricane a “hurricane” and instead called it a weather event with excessive moisture. My latest newsletter.
