Wyoming has a 1949 compact with Idaho that would require Idaho’s approval to take water from the Snake River Basin.
“I obviously can’t speak for the state of Idaho,” Wyoming Senior Assistant AG Chris Brown said, “but my legal opinion is they would say either ‘no’ or ‘hell no.’ That’s my guess.”
I just keep thinking about how bad this will be. There's nobody competent left in government at this point - they'll be handing out checks willy-nilly.

Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

This isn’t efficiency or modernization. This is the dismantling of a 120-year-old agency done illegally, done deliberately, and done fast enough that most people won’t notice until it’s too late.
TODAY: Folks in Texas are protesting the Dilley ICE detention center, demanding the Trump administration shut it down.
