WyoFile is one of my favorite publications. Based in Wyoming, it covers this vast state, reporting on events big and small.
When I lived in Wyoming, I wrote arts and book reviews for WyoFile. Their political coverage has been particularly good. Their reporters covered the most recent legislative session, providing insight into the GOP Crackpots called the Freedom Caucus who now run the place.
WyoFile's Maggie Mullen wrote March 20 of Rep. Harriet Hageman's town hall meeting in Laramie. Credit goes to Hageman for hosting town halls when the national GOP has told their reps to cancel them lest they be confronted with angry constituents and questions they refuse to answer.
More than 500 people turned out for the Laramie event in the auditorium of the historic Laramie Plains Civic Center. It originally had been scheduled for a more cloistered space. Read the WyoFile article. Americans from all over are mad as hell and are not going to take it anymore.

Hageman is a confirmed MAGA cultist and defeated the outlaw Liz Cheney for the state's lone House seat. I switched parties and voted for Liz in the primaries but you can't do that anymore and now I'm in Florida trying to figure out its voting laws. She had the weight and the money of Trump on her side.
Voters in Wyoming once elected Democrats as Governor (I worked for two of them) and common-sense yet irascible senators such as the late Alan Simpson. They are off the rails now. They were joined by 77 million or so ("I got almost 80 million votes," Trump recently bragged) who voted in Trump and Musk and some Vance guy. I know, I can't believe it either, but the horrid results are becoming more evident every day.
WyoFile is a publication we really need now. It's crucial if you live in Wyoming; entertaining and educational if you live elsewhere. Donate at wyofile.com
