Congressional Republicans are reigniting the debate over protest laws with the reintroduction of the Safe Passage on Interstates Act. After recent riots and demonstrations shut down the 101 Freeway in Los Angeles, Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) and members of the Republican Study Committee are pushing for federal action to criminalize the intentional blocking of interstate highways.Supporters argue the bill is necessary to restore law and order, protect emergency services, and prevent nationwide chaos. Opponents warn it could infringe on First Amendment rights.Is this about safety—or silencing dissent?

In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Congressman August Pfluger—Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, decorated Air Force veteran, and proud seventh-generation Texan—for an in-depth conversation on the path forward for America's economy, energy independence, and national security. Congressman Pfluger discusses why predictability in the tax code is essential for families, entrepreneurs, and innovators alike. As the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act faces expiration, Pfluger makes the case for why extending—and ideally making permanent—those provisions is not just a matter of policy, but a critical step to preserve America's competitive edge and avoid economic backsliding. He also shares how the Republican Study Committee, now the largest conservative caucus in Congress with 189 members, is working to restore fiscal discipline, protect family-owned farms from devastating inheritance taxes, and ensure American businesses have the confidence to invest and grow. The conversation dives into the real-world impact of smart tax policy, using examples like a small business in rural Ohio that was able to give employees a 40% raise thanks to the Trump tax cuts. Congressman Pfluger also breaks down the growing demand for domestic energy production—driven in part by rising electricity needs from data centers and AI—and why energy security is inseparable from national security. Representing one of the largest and most quintessentially Texan districts in the country, Congressman Pfluger shares what makes his constituents special, why the Permian Basin is a story of American innovation, and what it means to fight for the freedom and opportunity they hold dear. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand how principled leadership, clear policy direction, and bold vision can help secure a stronger future for all Americans.

President Trump is using his executive power to rip the lid off the deep state's most egregious fraud, waste, and abuse—starting with USAID. But what about Congress? Reps. Keith Self and August Pfluger join The Kevin Roberts Show to reveal how they're working to codify Trump's reforms, gut the bureaucracy, and put America back on the path to military strength and fiscal sanity. From cutting trillions in waste to dismantling Biden's radical policies, this episode breaks down the real fight for America's future.About Rep.

On this episode of the podcast, Virginia Congressman Ben Cline dives into the great conversations that he and his colleagues had with President-elect Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) leaders Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy. The Member on Appropriations shared key insights into Republican initiatives that will advance fiscal responsibility and streamline government operations, including a balanced budget proposal from the Republican Study Committee. The Congressman advocated for treating government like a business, privatizing certain functions and relocating federal agencies to save costs. He called for federal employees to return to the office and voiced his strong support for Pete Hegseth's nomination as President Trump's chosen Defense Secretary. Furthermore, Congressman Cline acknowledges the ongoing importance of securing our southern border through comprehensive legislative policy solutions like HR-2.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

President-elect Donald Trump isn't done raiding Fox News for his Cabinet, which is what we expected from the failed TV game show host elected to a second term in the White House. It's not quite the end of the world as we know it, but apologies if it feels like it sometimes. On this week's politics podcast, we dive head-first into: Donald Trump might have to give up on his first Attorney General nominee, Matt Gaetz, who we're now learning as the new week starts reportedly participated in drug-fueled orgies that included underage girls during his first term in Congress. From Warner, Kaine raise issues with Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard Cabinet nominations We got ourselves a 2025 Virginia politics cycle shocker on Monday: Jason Miyares is going to run for a second term as attorney general, ceding the Republican Party gubernatorial nomination to Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears. From Shocker: Jason Miyares passes up run for governor, going for second term as AG instead Ken Mitchell, fresh off getting 34.6 percent of the vote in his loss to Ben Cline in the race for the Sixth District seat in Congress, is back for more. From Ken Mitchell announces candidacy for Sixth District seat in Congress in 2026 cycle Sixth District Congressman Ben Cline came up short on Friday in his bid to become the next chairman of the Republican Study Committee. From Ben Cline defeated in bid to take control of Republican Study Committee Virginiahas added 247,400 jobs since Glenn Youngkin took office in 2022, which we can thank the outgoing president, Joe Biden, and congressional Democrats for – see: Inflation Reduction Act. From Glenn Youngkin takes credit for Virginia jobs: It's the federal government, doofus The low-income White MAGA folks who voted for Donald Trump will be the ones who feel the consequences. They'll be the ones who lose their health insurance when he follows through on his promise to end Obamacare, and the ones who will feel the pinch of higher prices when he follows through on his promise to jack up tariffs. From Mailbag: MAGA reader uses the term ‘woke,' hints Jesus wouldn't have liked it

On this episode of the podcast, Virginia Congressman Ben Cline discussed the recently passed stopgap funding that prevented a government shutdown ahead of the November elections. The Virginia Republican emphasized the need for election integrity and border security, pointing to inflation and open borders as the two key issues for voters this fall. Congressman Cline predicted a strong Republican showing in November and takes aim at Kamala Harris, noting how she keeps talking about being “the agent of change,” however, if the American people want actual change it, “would be going back to the time when you had money in your wallet, you didn't have inflation, you didn't have open borders, and that time was when Donald Trump was President." The Freedom Caucus Member also talks about his campaign to become the next Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, a powerful group of 180 conservative lawmakers. He defends their group's balanced budget proposal, which President Biden rejected earlier this year, saying, ‘This budget would undo everything we've done over the last three years.' For Representative Cline, fiscal responsibility is a point of pride as Republicans look to work with President Trump once again in order to shape their next legislative agenda.To keep up with Congressman Cline as he vies for Chairman of the Republican Study Committee and for re-election in the U.S. House, you can follow either of his accounts on ‘X': @RepBenCline or @Cline4Virginia.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

House Republicans announced they will be launching an investigation into federal funding for colleges and universities that seem to be doing nothing about anti-Semitic protests. The investigation could lead to schools being denied funding while they allow pro-Palestinian encampments that are getting more violent. FOX's John Saucier speaks with Rep. Kevin Hern, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, who says the protests have been crossing the line of American decency and more can be done about them.

Kevin Hern, Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, who says the protests have been crossing the line of American decency and more can be done about them.

Mike Huckabee discusses the two-tiered system of justice in Washington, the complicity of the mainstream media, and the “Biden crime family.” The former Presidential candidate describes the Biden classified document scandal, and says that even beyond the Biden documents, he “believes we're looking at political scandals involving the Biden crime family, that make every controversy that we've seen, whether it was in the Clinton administration, or whether it was Iran-Contra during Reagan, Watergate, doesn't matter.” Also, Rep. Ben Cline, new chairman of the Republican Study Committee's Budget and Spending Task Force, discusses current plans for reducing government spending.

Today, ambitious Indiana Republican Rep. Jim Banks launches his bid to replace retiring GOP Sen. Mike Braun. (Watch his announcement video here.) The 42-year-old former chair of the Republican Study Committee is widely seen as the favorite in the race, which has already attracted interest from fellow Rep. Victoria Spartz. But he could face a challenging primary if former Hoosier State Gov. Mitch Daniels jumps in.  And, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sent a letter to Speaker Kevin McCarthy and other congressional leaders last Friday urging Congress to act “promptly” to raise the debt ceiling and avoid defaulting. Yellen writes that the debt is projected to reach its “statutory limit” this Thursday, though she says it is “unlikely that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted before early June.” Playbook editor Mike DeBonis and deputy Zack Stanton discuss the upcoming fight over debt ceiling and the state of Indiana's GOP senate primary.  Subscribe to the POLITICO Playbook newsletter Raghu Manavalan is the host and senior editor of POLITICO's Playbook Daily Briefing.

The chairman of the House's biggest Republican caucus says he “stands by” his call for the impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for allowing hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to cross the southern border. Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., first advocated that the House impeach Mayorkas in October, and earlier this week Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas, filed articles of impeachment against the homeland security secretary.“In October of 2022, I think I was the first to formally call for him to be impeached. I stand by that,” Hern, the new chairman of the Republican Study Committee, says on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”“I actually called first for Mayorkas back in February of 2022 to resign,” the Oklahoma Republican says. “And we had a meeting with him with 40 of our Republican members at the Border Caucus meeting at the Capitol. To his credit, he showed up for the meeting [but] was very, very defiant then that there was any problem, when there'd been some two and a half million people had crossed at that time under his watch.”“Secretary Mayorkas has been involved with the border since 2005 as the deputy homeland security director, and other immigration processes over the years from California,” Hern says. “And it is amazing to the American people, based on everything that we have seen, that he still thinks there's control of the southern border.”Also on this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast,” Hern talks about the 15 ballots to elect a speaker of the House; his goals as chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the largest GOP caucus in the House; and his thoughts on the Pentagon's lifting its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for members of the armed forces.

Rep. Ben Cline, new chairman of the Republican Study Committee's Budget and Spending Task Force, discusses current plans for reducing government spending. The Virginia Congressman also discusses Biden's first trip “near the Border,” saying Biden “needs to stay down there until he actually gets to see for himself the horrors that are happening at the border when it comes to the drugs that are being trafficked, the human trafficking that's occurring, the abuse that's occurring to children and to women, it is a tragedy of immense proportions.” Commenting, “I'm glad the political pressure has gotten so intense that he actually had to check the box to actually say, well, I've been near the border, that's more than his ‘Border Czar' has been able to do for for many months. But now we really do need to take that trip and actually turn it into action.” The Congressman says that one of the most immediate reforms that can be done is to the United States “asylum laws.” Saying, recently the Biden “administration actually had a glimmer of some recognition when they said, instead of making the journey,” we want [Migrants] to be able to have asylum claim adjudicated back in their home country. Cline remarking, “that's the type of reform that I think you could get some agreement, to try and open up embassies to receiving these types of requests for asylum, but then also reforming our asylum laws. Because America is the richest country in the world, trying to get to America simply to have a better life is not grounds for asylum. And so we need to firm up those asylum laws to prevent uncertainty about those types of claims, to prevent the type of journey that's occurring, and maybe if it happens from the country of origin, you might be able to keep them from making that journey in the first place.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As the clock ticks toward the new year, Congress is racing to pass funding for the government for the fiscal year that began Oct. 1 "Well, I was a no vote last week. I think we need to be doing our work. It's amazing to me that the Democrats have been in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate," Rep. Kevin Hern, R-Okla., says about the "omnibus" spending package. The Senate and the House last week advanced a "stopgap bill" last week that continues to fund existing programs and would give Congress until Friday at midnight to finalize a spending bill. The measure passed 71-19 in the Senate; it passed 224-201 in the House."Since January of last year, they've not passed a budget," Hern says. "They've not done appropriations in regular order. They have no one to blame but themselves for the almost $5 trillion in spending added to our debt in the last 23 months.:"Here we are at the very end of the funding, which was supposed to be done by Sept. 30, [and we] keep kicking the can down the road," says Hern, who was unanimously elected last month as chairman of the Republican Study Committee. Hern joins this episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss the gigantic omnibus spending bill, some of the Republican Party's top priorities for 2023, and how conservatives can navigate with slim control of only one chamber of Congress.

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Congressman Mike Johnson discuss the current state of conservative America, the understated importance of inherent value, the trumped up climate crisis and the all too real crisis facing much of Europe this coming winter. Rep. Mike Johnson is in his third term representing the 4th Congressional District of Louisiana. He represents nearly 760,000 residents of 15 parishes in the northwest and western regions of the state. Mike was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on December 10, 2016, by the largest margin of victory in his region in more than 50 years and is currently serving his third term. He earned his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from Louisiana State University in 1995, and then his Juris Doctorate from the Paul M. Hebert Law Center at Louisiana State University in 1998. Before joining Congress, Johnson was a partner in the Kitchens Law Firm and a senior attorney and national media spokesman for the Alliance Defense Fund, now known as Alliance Defending Freedom.  He serves as the Vice Chairman of the House Republican Conference—the No. 4 ranked Republican in Congress—is a leader on the Judiciary and Armed Services Committees, and serves as an Assistant Whip for House Republicans. Last Congress, he served as Chairman of the Republican Study Committee, known as the "intellectual arsenal" and the largest caucus of conservatives in Congress. Prior to becoming elected to the U.S. Congress, Johnson served as a constitutional law litigator for nearly 20 years.  - Links - For Congressman Mike Johnson: Mike's website:https://mikejohnson.house.gov/ Follow Mike on social media:@RepMikeJohnson Listen to the Truth be Told podcast on all platforms or at:https://www.mikeandkellyjohnson.com/  - Chapters - (0:00) Coming Up(1:24) Intro(3:55) Eve of the election, predictions(5:20) Biden's chaotic reign(7:54) Inflation at a 40 year high, causes and effects(10:00) US oil and the global climate “crisis”(13:34) Gaia before God, the new globalist religion(17:25) The ultimate agenda: control(19:22) The Republican response(23:05) Seven Core Principles of American Conservatism(27:35) Identity from the political perspective(32:26) The need of faith in society and for individuals(34:35) Foundational principles and why the left despises them(40:23) To look upon what terrifies us, why we must(47:08) The scientific view of faith, and why it's wrong(54:12) Preserving what guides us(57:45) The vision going forward(1:01:39) Muddling through up hill, the energy front(1:03:49) The best way to serve the poor(1:06:56) Taking the opportunity, clarity unites(1:08:39) Practical steps to get involved in the political front  // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL //Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jordanbpeterson.com/youtubesignupDonations: https://jordanbpeterson.com/donate // COURSES //Discovering Personality: https://jordanbpeterson.com/personalitySelf Authoring Suite: https://selfauthoring.comUnderstand Myself (personality test): https://understandmyself.com // BOOKS //Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life: https://jordanbpeterson.com/Beyond-Order12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-lifeMaps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning // LINKS //Website: https://jordanbpeterson.comEvents: https://jordanbpeterson.com/eventsBlog: https://jordanbpeterson.com/blogPodcast: https://jordanbpeterson.com/podcast // SOCIAL //Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanbpetersonInstagram: https://instagram.com/jordan.b.petersonFacebook: https://facebook.com/drjordanpetersonTelegram: https://t.me/DrJordanPetersonAll socials: https://linktr.ee/drjordanbpeterson #JordanPeterson #JordanBPeterson #DrJordanPeterson #DrJordanBPeterson #DailyWirePlus

HEADLINE 1: Contamination in Springfield's groundwater, and Missouri knew for Decades - STLPRAn investigation by the Midwest Newsroom and St. Louis Public Radio has found that the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the company Litton Systems, a former defense contractor that had employed thousands of people in Springfield to make circuit boards for the Navy and telecommunications industry, knew as early as 1993 that contamination beyond the company's property into the surrounding community “had undoubtedly occurred,”. Litton used a toxic solvent called trichloroethylene (TCE) to wash the circuit boards and for years improperly disposed of it. The pollutant leached into the groundwater and into aquifers deep below the ground. It then spread to nearby properties, where it made its way into wells that supplied water to those who lived and worked near Litton. A review of thousands of pages of government records and interviews found that DNR employees raised concerns about the contamination and implored the agency to force Litton to investigate further. But in the years that followed, neither the company nor DNR sought to determine the extent of the problem or alert the public about the potential risks, our examination found. Instead, both relied on a remediation system to remove the TCE, a measure that the government later determined did not work to effectively contain the contamination.The problem was not broadly known in Springfield until TCE was detected and publicized in 2018 at Fantastic Caverns, a tourist destination about five miles north of the former Litton site. As a result, some people bought property without knowing that they would be exposed to a chemical linked to cancer and other medical conditions. Others are left wondering how long they've been drinking and bathing in water tainted with TCE. And people are upset that an agency tasked with protecting the environment did not do more to warn the public about the risks of contamination. When you hear a story like this there's a lot of anger and frustration to be had. The carelessness of Litton cannot be overstated, but we have come to expect a company to hide in the shadows on issues like this. The thing that hits me hard is the fact that the DNR failed to adequately do its job, and there should be consequences. It may be tempting to point to the failure of the DNR as an example of how government doesn't work, but take a step back and realize without that governmental body, this would have NEVER come to light. Yes, it functioned poorly, but that can be fixed and hopefully better handled in the future. Leave it to private enterprise and we never find out.HEADLINE 2: Joplin, MO woman left helpless with non-viable pregnancy - Springfield News-LeaderAt 6:30 a.m. on August 2, nearly 18 weeks into her pregnancy, Mylissa Farmer experienced what doctors call a preterm premature rupture of membranes — her water broke before labor, followed by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pressure and cramping.She went to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, where she'd been just the day before. Everything had been normal then. She and her boyfriend, Matthew McNeill, had already picked out a name for their daughter: Maeve.But the doctors had devastating news for them on Aug. 2.If Maeve was delivered right then, chances of survival at 17 weeks and 5 days were zero, according to the assessment and plan section of Farmer's medical records outlining the visit. And the outcome wasn't much better if they tried to hold off on delivery.The doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy, but 39 days after the state of Missouri banned abortions, that wasn't an option, at least not in Missouri.A year ago, the hospital could have offered a chance for the couple to say goodbye and hold their daughter, even though they knew she wouldn't survive outside the womb.Instead, Farmer and McNeill were left to make a series of trips across three states and countless phone calls.The couple wanted to be able to grieve the loss of their daughter, not sit at home or in a hospital "with a baby dying inside me," Farmer said."I know it sounds horrible, but we just wanted to finish the process," she said. In the end, Farmer didn't just lose Maeve; she lost her friends and her trust that Missouri would allow medical professionals to do their jobs."It was hard. You could tell the doctors were trying to tell us what we needed to do, but at the same time, trying to protect themselves. We're not angry with them," Farmer said.If her vitals plummeted or infection set in, or the fetus' cardiac activity stopped, the doctors could intervene, but not before then.At 41, Farmer worried that by the time there was an emergency, it would be too late for both her and Maeve. And even if Farmer did live through it, she worried about what her recovery would be like. She was already at "risks of maternal thrombosis given her history of (deep vein thrombosis during a COVID-19 infection), infection/sepsis, severe blood loss, hysterotomy, hysterectomy and even mortality," according to the medical record.Farmer then did something she, who describes herself as "pretty pro-life" and Christian, never thought she would do: She began to look for abortion clinics.Farmer and McNeill set out for Granite City, Illinois. Early in the morning on Aug. 5, Farmer began to have back pain while on their way to the place just 15 minutes outside of St. Louis. When she got to HOPE Clinic, she was in labor.After the fact, Farmer said it was almost reassuring that the labor came on. Friends in Joplin who knew of the situation had been telling her that she "could give birth at 17 weeks, that they knew people who have done it, that I was killing my child.""It did my heart good to know I was doing the right thing," she said, as if her body was telling her that it was OK.But still, the experience was harrowing. Protesters in front of the clinic echoed the things her friends had told her, "saying we were killing our baby and that we were evil.""It was awful, you know? We were just going through so much. We didn't want this ... but at the same time, we had no choice," Farmer said.Since their ordeal, Farmer has lost trust. While she still feels her obstetrician at Freeman Hospital in Joplin is a good doctor, she's worried about whether medical professionals in Missouri will be able to offer patients necessary care.Despite reaching out to various legislators, she has yet to receive an answer that satisfies her: Why is this law written this way? If it's to protect women, why did she have to be in danger before she could get care in-state? Why is it such a binary law?"The world is too nuanced to put such strict rules in place," Farmer said.HEADLINE 3: Supreme Court Considers Pork Producers' Plea - The InterceptOn Tuesday, oral arguments will begin in National Pork Producers Council v. Ross, a case in which the pork industry is challenging the constitutionality of a California law regulating the worst cruelties of mass meat and egg production. The pork producers are arguing that California's law ends up forcing them to change their procedures outside California's borders at significant cost.If the justices rule on the side of the pork producers, it will be only the latest case to expose the illusion of so-called states' rights that conservative legal forces have spent 200 years pushing on the public.There would also be widespread implications: Ruling in favor of industry would set yet another grim precedent, potentially curtailing the ability of states to enforce progressive industry regulations and protections. Everything from state laws on workers' rights to environmental standards to further animal welfare issues could be challenged. Meanwhile, there could be another layer of irony: With the court's provenselective federalism, we can be sure that any such precedent would be no barrier to conservative states enacting laws with economic consequences far beyond their state lines in future.THE LAW IN question at the Supreme Court this week is California's Prop 12, passed through a resounding 2018 ballot victory. The law bans the sale in California of meat and eggs from animals raised in extreme and brutal confinement, including in gestation crates where pregnant pigs are held, barely able to move, for most of their lives.Such confinement has been condemned by all major animal welfare and veterinary organizations, and has been deemed a “profound danger to food and public health,” given the rife spread of disease, according to a brief written by the American Public Health Association and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, among others, for the case.The pork producers contend that the law creates unconstitutional constraint on their business, as farmers in other states must change their practices to abide by Prop 12's standards if they hope to sell pork in the nation's most populous state and since most of the pork consumed in California is indeed produced out of state, and that the state is a market too big for major producers to forego, there's little doubt that the Californian regulations would indeed affect interstate practices. It's not a foregone conclusion that a majority of justices will side with the National Pork Producers Council. Both conservative justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito have, from an originalist stance, previously criticized the dormant commerce clause. And, of course, all six of the court's right-wing justices have ruled in favor of state laws that have significant economic effects on the lives of those outside those states — such is the nature of living in an entangled national body politic. Just ask the abortion clinics now overwhelmed by out-of-state travel. Yet we should never underestimate the conservative majority's pro-business bent, and its unabashed desire to quash any and all liberation struggles — be they for human or nonhuman lives.If the pork producers succeed in overthrowing Prop 12, many millions of animals will continue to live and die in the most appalling suffering. The message will be sent too that when big business wants to challenge democratically passed state laws, they have several right-wing Supreme Court justices — those storied defenders of states' rights — on their side.This situation on the Federal scale reminds me immediately of Missouri's own quashing of local politics. The Missouri GOP claims to be the protector of local politics but when CAFOs in Missouri began polluting groundwater the State told counties they couldn't enact regulations locally to hinder big business. It's certainly evident the Right favors big government when it serves them. LIGHTNING ROUND:LR 1 - Lone Candidate shows up for Missouri's 3rd - News TribuneOnly one candidate was present for the News Tribune's election forum Tuesday night, but two issues emerged to dominate the discussion: the nation's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and federal student loan forgiveness. Bethany Mann, agricultural scientist and the Democratic challenger for Missouri's 3rd Congressional District, said the pandemic is ongoing and that student loan forgiveness isn't the ultimate solution to skyrocketing higher education costs, but a good policy nonetheless. Mann states that The country's student loan system is predatory, because it traps financially inexperienced young people into accumulating mass amounts of debt they don't know they can repay. The real issue is a lack of regulation on the banking industry, she said. Mann said more corporate regulations can insulate consumers from market shocks."We need to fix the root cause and not penalize people for trying to make a better life for themselves," she said.As far as Blaine Luetktemeyer, he couldn't be bothered to show up to the conversation.LR 2 - Kansas ranks among the worst in the country on both mental illness and its treatment - NPRA new report by Mental Health America tracking mental illness and the ease of accessing care found high rates of addiction among young people and mental illness and suicidal thoughts among adults put Kansas in last place.The report, based largely on data from 2019 and 2020, found 9% of Kansas youth had a substance use disorder, more than any other state. Over a quarter of adults had a mental illness and over 6% had serious thoughts of suicide, both well above national averages. In part, that's because the state doesn't have enough psychiatrists, therapists and other mental health care workers to go around. Compared with a national rate of one provider for every 350 people, Kansas only had one for every 470 people — and experts say the shortfall is particularly dire in rural areas. Kansas also got low marks on insurance rates and the ability to afford mental health care.Around 18% of adults with mental illness in Kansas had no insurance, compared with 11% nationwide. And only around 7% of youths with severe depression received consistent treatment for it, compared to 28% nationwide.LR 3 - Commission recommends salary increases to address Missouri teacher shortage - Missouri IndependentA state commission Tuesday laid out its recommendations to improve teacher recruitment and retention in Missouri, including a push to raise starting salaries that currently rank among the lowest in the nation. The State Board of Education approved the commission's nine recommendations and pledged to bring the findings to the public and lawmakers. Nearly 8% of available full-time teaching positions in the school year 2020-2021 were vacant or filled by not fully qualified individuals, according to the report. One of the commission's immediate recommendations was for the legislature to amend the state's base teacher salary, which is currently set by state law at $25,000 for a beginning teacher, to “at least $38,000” and to conduct annual reviews of the starting salary level.According to the National Education Association's review from earlier this year, Missouri's average teacher starting salary ranks second-to-last in the nation, at $33,234, higher only than Montana. At a public hearing in August, educators recounted taking on second jobs to get by.Per the Report, the legislature should also establish a state fund to help local school districts pay more competitive salaries overall, the report recommended. The average teachers salary in Missouri ranks 47th in the nation, at $51,557, according to the National Education Association. It's good to see that last bit tacked on, the focus on teacher pay in Missouri almost always centers on starting pay, which… is admittedly terrible, but we want to retain teachers too. A pay bump for every teacher in Missouri is way overdue.LR 4 - Will the next Farm Bill be climate friendly? Depends on the Midterms - Mother JonesThis year's midterm elections will decide the direction of a massive legislative package meant to tackle the nation's agricultural problems. Ahead of the November elections, House Republicans have already released insight into their priorities for this upcoming legislation. The Republican Study Committee, whose members make up 80 percent of all Republican members of Congress, released its draft budget in July. This draft document outlines a plan that completely defunds federal programs that support conservation efforts, as well as slashes federal food stamp and crop insurance programs. As Farm Bill debates continue, a group of over 150 progressive, agriculture, and environmental groups, from the nation's largest federation of labor unions to the Sierra Club environmental group, have urged President Joe Biden to add climate reforms in the upcoming legislative package. In a letter to Biden, organizations urged the President to pass a Farm Bill that would help mend economic and racial divides in the industry, increase access to nutrition, support fair labor conditions in farming communities labor conditions, as well as tackle the climate crisis with a focus on agriculture. LR 5 - Kansas Republicans downplay abortion in legislative races. Some change campaign sites - Kansas City StarMike Pence recently tweeted out “I've got news for President Biden. Come January 22nd, we will have Pro-Life majorities in the House and Senate and we'll be taking the cause of the right to Life to every state house in America!” Which sounds a little funny when hearing reports of   Multiple Kansas House GOP candidates removing anti-abortion material from their campaign sites in the wake of voters' rejection of the constitutional amendment in August. We keep seeing this play out, the Republicans, the proverbial dog in this idiom, have caught the car on Abortion and frankly don't know exactly how to move forward. Hopefully a full blown referendum is coming down the pipe in November!

Do it now so we can reach more people with the truth. Florida’s Don’t Say Gay Law https://www.thebulwark.com/desantis-shapiro-co-want-to-put-my-kid-in-the-closet/ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has voiced his support for a bill that would prohibit the discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in the state's primary schools. Asked by reporters recently, he said it was "entirely inappropriate" for teachers to be having conversations with students about gender identity, citing instances of them telling children, “Don’t worry, don’t pick your gender yet," and also "hiding" classroom lessons from parents. “Schools need to be teaching kids to read, to write,” DeSantis said. “They need to teach them science, history. We need more civics and understanding of the U.S. Constitution, what makes our country unique, all those basic stuff.” "The larger issue with all of this is parents must have a seat at the table when it comes to what's going on in their schools," he added. The Parental Rights in Education bill — dubbed by critics as the "Don't Say Gay" bill — says that “A school district may not encourage classroom discussion about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary grade levels or in a manner that is not age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students.” The enforcement section of the legislation takes a cue from the Texas abortion bounty legislation: “A parent of a student may bring an action against a school district to obtain a declaratory judgment that a school district procedure or practice violates this paragraph and seek injunctive relief. A court may award damages.” RIP PJ O’Rourke https://nypost.com/2022/02/15/p-j-orourke-was-americas-greatest-satirist-and-coolest-conservative/ P.J. O’Rourke, the political satirist and journalist who served as foreign-affairs desk chief at Rolling Stone until 2005 and wrote for numerous publications, has died. He was 74. His death was confirmed by NBC News. “Our dear friend and cherished Grove Atlantic author P.J. O’Rourke passed away this morning from complications of lung cancer,” Deb Seager, a vice president and spokeswoman at his publisher Grove Atlantic, said in a statement to NBC. Respected for his wit and storytelling by people across the political spectrum, O’Rourke’s early essays suggested a liberal leaning after he earned an M.A. in English at Johns Hopkins University in 1970. However, he soon changed his political stance and his work reflected libertarian conservatism. He wrote for several indie publications before landing at National Lampoon in 1973, where he had a variety of positions, including editor-in-chief. He also wrote for 1973 stage spinoff National Lampoon’s Lemmings, which featured John Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Christopher Guest, and he co-wrote National Lampoon’s 1964 High School Yearbook with Douglas Kenney. In 2016, he famously endorsed Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump, announcing his begrudging decision during a Wait Wait … Don’t Tell Me! episode. “It’s the second-worst thing that can happen to this country. But she’s way behind in second place,” he said. “I mean, she’s wrong about absolutely everything, but she’s wrong within normal parameters.” While his writing could at times be unnecessarily crass, and his Roman Catholicism and libertarianism sometimes got the better of him, his wit allowed him to see and explain more clearly many things quite well and in certainly very entertaining ways.

House Agenda if it Flips? https://thehill.com/homenews/house/594452-gop-eyes-ambitious-agenda-if-house-flips Republicans are eyeing an ambitious legislative agenda if they flip the House in November’s elections, setting the stage for countless clashes with President Biden on a host of thorny issues, from COVID-19 protocols and Big Tech to border security and the national debt. The midterm cycle is historically brutal for the party of first-term presidents, and that track record — combined with Biden’s approval rating, which is underwater, and consumer inflation, which is soaring — has created a golden opportunity for Republicans to win back the lower chamber after just four years in the minority wilderness. With that in mind, GOP leaders are already turning their gaze beyond the elections to discuss how they’d wield their power, presuming they seize it. Their strategy features a series of lawmaker “task forces” charged with itemizing the party’s top-tier reform ideas across a spectrum of hot-button issues — a wish list designed to serve as both a messaging tool on the campaign trail this year and a legislative guide in 2023 if they do gain the majority. Providing counsel through the process have been a host of prominent Republicans, including former Trump administration officials; conservative power players, like Club for Growth President David McIntosh, who spoke to the Republican Study Committee last week; and former congressional leaders, like onetime Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), who’s acting as a kind of informal adviser. Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), the vice chair of the House GOP conference, said the process is now in its “final stages,” with much of the task force work expected to be presented at the Republicans’ annual issues conference, which is scheduled for next month in Florida. “I assume it will be rolled out, probably by early summer, in time for members to go home and talk about it in town halls and run on it,” Johnson said. “It’s all coming together.” The strategy marks an extension of the Republicans’ “Commitment to America” campaign of 2020, which featured broad promises to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic, fight domestic crime, bolster the nation’s infrastructure and empower parents when it comes to their children’s education. With Biden in the White House, this year’s effort is much broader. The seven task forces are charged with crafting legislation designed to boost jobs, streamline health care, rein in the big tech companies, strengthen national security, counter Chinese influence, promote energy independence and secure individual freedoms such as gun rights. Many are advocating for a focus on the southern border with Mexico, where a surge in migration has led to record detentions — and a humanitarian crisis — in the first year of the Biden administration. Republicans are framing it as a national security threat. “Border security would be right at the top,” said Rep. Doug LaMalfa (R-Calif.). “We need to finish the fence. We need to have all the protocols all along the border, in order to control our border.” Other Republicans argued that the emphasis should be on scaling back the public health protocols put in place by the Biden administration in the name of combating the COVID-19 pandemic. Conservatives have bashed those policies — particularly mask and vaccine mandates — as an unconstitutional encroachment on individual freedoms, vowing to outlaw any similar effort under their watch. “I would like to think that the Democrats, in the majority, and this administration would let go of the unconstitutional, unlawful, unjustified, unscientific mandates relative to the China virus, and stop with the masks and vaccines on everybody long before a year from now,” said Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.), a member of the far-right Freedom Caucus. “However, they are clearly ‘COVID forever,’ and it seems as if they want to continue it — certainly the administration does,” he continued. “So that is the No. 1 most important issue, is the trampling on people’s freedoms.” Echoing other fiscal hawks, Good is also hoping GOP leaders move quickly to rein in government spending by adopting a balanced budget amendment. “We’re heading for a fiscal crisis if we don’t get a grip on spending,” he said. Still others are eager to launch a slew of investigations into the administration, to include its management of the coronavirus crisis, Biden’s handling of the deadly U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the federal government’s interactions with local school boards. To that list of investigative priorities, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has added another: She wants Republicans to rush an investigation into the U.S. Capitol Police following accusations from Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) that officers had entered his office and spied on him.
