Ryan Zinke is the definition of the Swamp. We've written about him so many times it's sickening and we've included links to some of those posts if you scroll down.

Some good news to add to our database. Another judge has stopped Trump and Republicans from illegal actions they continue to take.
A federal judge in New York ruled Friday [11/30/18] that the Trump administration cannot withhold public safety grants to six states and the City of New York based on the fact that they’re so-called sanctuary cities. The Justice Department attempted to put immigration-related conditions on the grants, which total in the millions.
