Democrats (mostly) have been arguing that removing age-inappropriate “books” from schools is book banning. They can’t shut up about it, but anyone can get these books with a few clicks electronically (for the groomer in a hurry) or in print in a handful of days.

Vermont Democrats banned militias last year, which we observed was an odd departure given that the state existed because of one.

Another State, Another Failed Plastic Bag Ban

A Few More Thoughts for Republicans On HB1002 and What, Exactly, Do You Mean By Extremist, Rep. O’Hara?
Travis O’Hara isn’t technically a bad Republican vote. If and when he shows up (not showing up for crucial votes is certainly bad), his HRA score for 2023 was a hair over 90%. You judge what that means, but as you do, please also consider his ready embrace of progressive language.

Martha’s Vineyard Declared “Low Income” so It Can Save Money on EV Chargers
Martha’s Vineyard is a remarkable place—a quaint little island of elites where the median home price is around 1.5 million. Barry Obama has a massive estate there, as do many well-heeled elites (despite the alleged risk of rising sea levels). And now they are eligible for subsidies (your money, not theirs) to add EV charging infrastructure.

ICYMI – Democrat Rep. Uses Her Baby As Prop While Promoting ‘Right to Abortion’ Amendment on House Floor
Vermont passed a Constitutional Right to personal “reproductive liberty.” Advocates called it a right to abortion, but it still doesn’t say that, and it has yet to confront any sort of legal challenge, but New Hampshire Dems wanted one for themselves. They just didn’t have the votes.
