Our local Wyoming paper called me this morning for any statement I'd like to make on our No Kings protest. I kind of rambled on a bit. Towards the end of the article www.codyenterprise.com/news/local/a...

With subsidies in jeopardy, thousands of Montanans face health insurance cost hikes

Open enrollment for the federal health insurance marketplace is just a couple weeks away. Montanans might experience some sticker shock when they start shopping around.

Talked with a person at our Cody WY rally who said she knows Republicans here against Trump but wouldn't show at a rally. That seems to fit their Congressional reps cowardice

Is he really that dumb or he's just playing dumb? So he thought there were millions and millions of gang members and criminals, not already locked up, that were illegals?

Homeland Security agents would be allowed to execute search and rescue operations; use motor vehicles, motorboats, and motorized equipment; and conduct patrols on foot and on horseback in official wilderness.
It also would allow for airstrips to be built in wilderness.

WY legislators response unfortunately. Our out of wack extreme right wing legislators are planning to put forth a bill that would fine a library $50,000/incident if someone reports a book they consider inappropriate. That would be the end of our libraries. wyofile.com/fired-wyomin...

Before the ACA, guess where all those people, legal or illegal, went for medical services? The emergency room. Hospitals are required to care for the sick and guess who gets billed? The state funded by taxpayers. Gutting the ACA will just send people back to the ER for colds etc.
