Rep. Denver Riggleman, R-Va., is a former distillery owner and a veteran. “If you don’t fight for what you think is right, if you’re not willing to stand up, you will get rolled over,” the newly-elected Riggleman tells The Daily Signal, adding, “I don’t want to be in politics, but I think people who hate politics need to get involved with politics.” Plus: We discuss Fox News’ Tucker Carlson’s proposal that the government ban smartphones for teens.

We also cover these stories:

  • Lawmakers’ guests to the State of the Union include a transgender military member and an illegal immigrant.
  • New Jersey has a new law on the books, making it the second state to mandate schools teach LGBT history.
  • A Hawaii legislator wants to do away with cigarettes for everyone who’s younger than 100.

Today, even with President Trump’s victory, leftist elites have their tentacles in every aspect of our government.

The Daily Signal’s own Tyler O’Neil exposes this leftist cabal in his new book, The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.

In this book, O’Neil reveals how the Left’s NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government.
