My favorite part of this #MeganHunt interview is the first time I’ve ever seen a politician mirror my view on this topic:
“My viewpoint in terms of spirituality is that I literally can't fucking know. I will never know what the meaning of life is. So all I need to focus on is my happiness, and making sure that I reduce as much suffering for people as possible, and that I'm never the reason that somebody else is unhappy. That's my political ethic.”

The iconoclastic state legislator spent three months filibustering a bill to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She talked to Semafor about her work and the too-easy cable news story surrounding it.
