And, just like that, I’m back. This week I interviewed Andy Roth of the State Freedom Caucus Network. This organization started as an outgrowth of the House Freedom Caucus, and hopes to replicate its work at the state level. Andy describes the Freedom Caucus efforts to fight the swamp in DC, and says working at the state level really is the equivalent of fighting in 50 swamps. He gives examples in which a handful of conservative legislators, not even in session, can have real-world effects on public policy, and he gives a road map for expanding the State Freedom Caucus Network from its current group of ten states.

It seems like a million years ago, but I wrote a book about dark money on the Left. If you’ve been wondering how we got from, say, 2015 to today with Americans at each other’s throats, you need to understand who’s behind all the campaigns undermining American society.
