Our statewide non-profit news source - @wyofile.com is being attacked by an organization that doesn't disclose its funding sources called "Honor Wyoming". Everyone should be concerned about anonymous groups spending money attacking the fourth estate.
A sponsored Facebook ad by Honor Wyoming reads: ----- 📢 Wyoming, are you being mislead or informed? The growing left-wing bias in Wyoming media, especially outlets like WyoFile, raises concerns about fair reporting. With slanted portrayals of conservative voices and progressive funding influencing local coverage, it's time to ask if our news truly reflects the views of Wyomingites or outside agendas. Wyoming deserves balanced, objective journalism that respects its conservative majority. Read more about the issue 👉 https://honorwyoming.org/left-wing-news-media-bias-growing-in-wy/ #HonorWyoming #WYMediaBias #FairReporting ---- Below the text is part of an AI generated image with two signs pointing in different directions with one that says "MISLEAD" to the left and one that says "INFORM" to the right.

Today the Wyoming Legislative Democrats put out a press release on the district court's opinion on abortion -
WYOMING’S ABORTION BAN OVERTURNED: A WIN FOR HEALTH CARE FREEDOM JACKSON – The Wyoming Democratic Caucus supports the court’s decision yesterday to protect the freedom and health of all Wyomingites. The case was based on the Wyoming Constitution, which says people in our state have the right to make their own health care decisions. Over 75% of Wyoming voters supported this part of the Constitution in 2012. “The key finding in the opinion is that abortion care is health care, as that term would have been understood by the voters who adopted the amendment in 2012,” said Rep. Ken Chestek. “Making your own health care decisions means being able to get care without confusing, harmful mandates from the state that risk your health and even your future ability to raise a family,” said House Minority Floor Leader Mike Yin. “Abortion bans take away personal freedom and put women’s lives in danger. In other states, we’ve seen these bans cause unnecessary deaths and make it harder for a woman to become pregnant in the future,” added Rep. Liz Storer. “Pregnancy is complicated, and women need to be free to make health care choices without the interference of the government,” stated Rep. Karlee Provenza. The Caucus remains concerned with lawmakers' continuing efforts interfering in healthcare that will drive medical professionals out of Wyoming, making it difficult for the state to retain young families. To protect safe pregnancies and give clear rules for doctors, Wyoming Democrats will bring back the Wyoming Reproductive Freedom Act in the 2025 legislative session. This bill will help ensure that everyone, including pregnant women, can make their own health care decisions. – END –

Ronald Reagan led the last double strike when he was the SAG president in 1960.
Text from an article at the Atlantic: In February, Reagan upped the ante. He asked the SAG membership for a strike authorization. The actors agreed and a work-stop date was set: Monday, March 7th. The producers were convinced the actors were bluffing. In the 50-year history of Hollywood, there had never been an industry-wide strike. The producers underestimated the resolve of Reagan and his negotiating team. On March 7th, 1960 the actors did what they said they would: They walked off their respective jobs and production at all the major studios ground to a halt.

Good morning,

Today I'm at the White House to talk with state legislators from other states about what can be done to protect our freedoms. Reproductive rights are under attack (even when they are protected by our state constitution!)
