At least 30 stained glass windows in European churches commemorate U.S. military efforts during the world wars. On Memorial Day, these windows serve as reminders that American sacrifices are recognized far beyond the country’s shores, where memories endure, but not always in the same way. #Flashes

This Memorial Day, we pause with gratitude and reflection to honor those who served and sacrificed for our freedoms. They remind us of our sacred commitment to our republic and each other. Today, let’s unite in remembrance and renew our commitment to building a more perfect union.

This is why people hate politicians. I am running on the promise to defend public lands, and you can trust that I will hold to that. This campaign relies on your support and each dollar donated makes a difference. 👆️ Make a contribution using this link: secure.numero.ai/contribute/A...

Idaho deserves a debate.

Every dollar donated goes directly towards declaring Idaho's independence from special interests and returning to a system of representation in which every Idaho family is taken care of. 🎯 $10 = 50 flyers. $20 = 4 yard signs. $83 = Retire Risch. 👇️ Donate here: buff.ly/FZX4wag

I was not at the show today, but my heart dropped watching footage of those two growlers going down. So incredibly thankful that the crews made it out safe.

We're not going to out-raise Jim Risch. But we're growing 10x faster — because while he works for Washington, we're working for Idaho. Every dollar donated goes straight to the ground game. Donate $83 to Retire Risch: buff.ly/RFcX5wf #IndependentIdaho #RetireRisch #WorkingForIdaho

Idaho's economy is built on agriculture - the state cannot function without it and the increased price of fertilizer is disastrous for Idaho's prosperity. The worst part is, that this was completely avoidable. buff.ly/csrOe5w #freemarkets #idahoag #monoploies #achillesforidaho

This is inconceivable. As a senator who claims to be in defense of public lands, the least Risch could do is show up to these type of votes. As your next senator, you can count on me to defend and protect our public lands - because Idaho is not for sale. #defendpubliclands #achillesforidaho

A study from the Federal Trade Commission found that personal data is used to set individual consumer prices - that is unacceptable. I spoke about this topic at length in a talk I gave at Hackfort in March. If you'd like to dive deeper, give it a listen: buff.ly/hNPQb6Y #surveillancepricing

Tonight, the Senate votes to confirm Steve Pearce as the Director of BLM. Call your Senators and urge them to vote no. Sen. Risch: (202) 224-2752 Sen. Crapo: (202) 224-6142

My unaffiliated (independent) primary ballot had 16 judge races, only 1 of which was contested. As a taxpayer, I paid to run this primary election in which I can’t participate in the most important races. That is taxation without representation. OPEN PRIMARIES! #openprimaries #achillesforidaho

I keep getting this question, so to all the folks who are wondering why my name isn't on the primary ballot, here's why. You may not be able to vote for me in May, but I WILL be on the ballot in November. In the meantime, you can keep up with me by signing up for the campaign newsletter!

I'm Todd Achilles, an independent veteran running for the U.S. Senate. I've been on the ground as a tank commander, and I fully understand the gravity of deploying troops - no matter where that is. I am running to end forever wars and ensure that we honor the men and women who serve.

What would you do with an extra $3,800? That number is how much has been taken from you, and gifted to the the oil and gas industry. I'm running to fight for every penny you earn. I'm running to take this money out of the hands of corrupt politicians and put it back in your pocket, where it belongs.

Yesterday, we celebrated the grand opening of the Achilles for Idaho Campaign Headquarters! Oh, and it was Jim Risch’s 83rd birthday! Thank you to everyone who joined us, we couldn’t have asked for a better turnout. This campaign is built on community and yesterday showed how strong ours has become.

Today's the day! Come celebrate with us from 3-5pm at the Achilles for Idaho Headquarters at 5181 N Glenwood St, Garden City, ID 83714. Can't wait to see you there!!

You asked, and we listened. Yard signs are in stock! Drop by the campaign office at 5181 N Glenwood St, Garden City, ID 83714 or order them online using this link: buff.ly/GgourKw

Come election day, I invite you to challenge this ongoing display of loyalty to foreign interests by showing up to the polls and voting for a candidate who won't sell Idaho out to the highest bidder. Vote Todd Achilles, independent veteran for U.S. Senate. #AchillesforIdaho #retirerisch

Threats and violence have no place in America’s political system. I’m grateful the President, Vice President, and members of the Cabinet are safe.

Saddened to hear of Governor Dirk Kempthorne’s passing. He gave so much of himself to Idaho and to our nation—as mayor, governor, U.S. senator, and Secretary of the Interior.

Reminiscing on my trip through North Idaho and feeling incredibly grateful for the opportunity to meet so many Idahoans who are concerned about the problems facing our nation. I want to extend a huge thank you to all those who came out to talk about modern solutions.

Wanted to share this clip from @rieckhoff.bsky.social 's segment on MSNow with Katy Tur. Thank you, Paul, for the shout-out. I'm proud to say that we've raised over $400k for this campaign, and that number will only continue to grow. This IS a competitive race, and I intend to win it.

"The defining story of the 2026 election cycle will be the rise of the independents. Republicans and Democrats must make room at the Congressional table — independents are coming." @achillesid.bsky.social #idpol #Independents www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-e...

Idaho native @mollymckew.bsky.social is spot on. Government corruption is theft. Theft from hard working families who paid their fair share in taxes. Congress must investigate.

Yesterday, the Senate voted 50 to 49 to strip Boundary Water Protections HJR140, and Jim Risch was one of the votes that pushed this decision through. Trust that when I say I am for protecting public lands, I will vote to reflect that. #AchillesforIdaho #protectpubliclands

As part of my North Idaho Tour, I am hosting an Ask Me Anything event at the Marigold Bistro in Sandpoint! Bring all your questions and enjoy a beverage on us. I'm excited to meet you all and to share my platform with you. I hope to see you there! #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

As the North Idaho Tour comes to an end, I have one last stop in Hope. I will be at the Memorial Community Center on Friday for a meet-and-greet, and I'd love to see you there. It's a great opportunity to meet me face-to-face and share what's on your mind. #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

Today, I toured the Clearwater Paper Plant in Lewiston. It is an amazing facility run by union labor. They provide hundreds of well-paying jobs and a real boost to the local economy. I want to offer a big thank you to these folks for showing me around! #AchillesforIdaho #lewiston #unionlabor

Another stop on my North Idaho Tour: Moscow! I will be at The Lodge at Fairview Estates on Wednesday afternoon. I'd love to meet you, and it’s a great chance to share what's on your mind. If you're in the area, I hope to see you there! #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

I'm back with my favorite segment: Dumpster Bill of the Week. This week, I'm tossing the Stop Insider Trading Act straight into the garbage. Idahoans deserve real reform, and that is what I will bring. We need actual legislation, not garbage hiding behind a convincing title.

After a very successful day in McCall, I'm heading up to Grangeville and Orofino for some more meet-and-greets. It has been great to get out and talk to people, and I'm excited to keep this energy going! I hope to see you there. #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

As part of my North Idaho Tour, I'm headed to Grangeville! On Monday, I'll be at the U.S. Bank Meeting Room for a meet-and-greet! I would love to see you, so don't miss your chance to come meet me face to face. Stop by, say hi, and let's talk. #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

I'm back to let you know that I am onto the second stop of my Northern Idaho Tour! On Sunday, I’ll be at the McCall Senior and Community Center from 3:15 to 5:30pm for a meet-and-greet. I'd love to meet you in person, and it’s a great chance to shake hands and share what's on your mind.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the event in Hidden Springs last night! We had an incredible turnout, and I was so thankful to see some new faces and for the opportunity to share my mission with you all. Thank you for your continued support. TA

For one of my first stops on my North Idaho Tour, I will be in Orofino at the Best Western Lodge for a meet and greet. Don't miss your chance to come meet me face to face. Stop by, say hi, and let's talk. #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

As part of my North Idaho Tour, I will be hosting a luncheon in Lewiston on April 14th! I'd love to meet you in person, and it’s a great chance to shake hands, share what's on your mind, and have a real conversation. Hope to see you there! #AchillesforIdaho #NorthIdahoTour

I'm about to go on a tour through Northern Idaho, and honestly, this is one of my favorite parts of what I do — getting out and talking with real people across this state. I'll be making stops from McCall up to Sandpoint, with events running through April 17th. Keep an eye out for more details!

#SenatorRisch couldn't be bothered to attend a town hall, even though he will be in the same town the following night for a fundraiser. He doesn't care about his constituents; he cares about his donors. #RetireRisch #idpol @achillesid.bsky.social www.eastidahonews.com/2026/04/comm...

“So, what inspired you? What was the ‘aha’ moment when you said, ‘You know what—I’m going to run for the U.S. Senate’?” Hear this answer and more on the Political Potatoes podcast—a conversation about debt, digital privacy, healthcare markets, and the limits of party politics in Idaho.

Spring training has officially begun ⛷️ We recently found a little-known Idaho election law still on our books: ID-SKI26. Let’s just say…it changes everything in this race.

It’s April Fools’ Day, but this is no joke. In a brazen ethics lapse, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch used taxpayer dollars for campaign messaging. That earns him this week’s spot in my Dumpster of the Week™️ segment. 🗑️

Idaho is ready for something different—and for the first time in 16 years, we have a real shot to make it happen. I’m taking on Sen. Jim Risch this November, and the latest polling shows what we already knew: this race is really competitive.

Today is National Vietnam Veterans Day. 🇺🇸 In Idaho, more than 160,000 veterans call this state home—one of the highest per-capita rates in the country. Nearly one-third served during the Vietnam era.

We've revised some minor details on our polling graphics, but the numbers and outlook remain the same: we're ahead! 📈💪 We are making Idaho Independent, again!

U.S. Senator and Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Jim Risch was asked to hold public hearings to review the decisions that led to the war with Iran. His response: tough.

Happy #Treefort Boise! This Saturday, March 28th, I'll be presenting at #Hackfort - "Digital Cartels: Big Data, Corporate Power, and the Cost of Living."

This week, we hosted our 100th event, a milestone that reflects the incredible momentum behind this movement. Traveling across all 44 counties, I hear the same thing everywhere I go: the parties are broken, and Idahoans are ready for something new.
