DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Many outlets have written about CPCs over the years, but surprisingly few people understand what they are, even those who are well-informed about the political landscape around reproductive care. We've tried to lay out a foundation to build on with these first pieces.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims. By @mckenziefunk.com @micarosenberg.bsky.social

Hello! I’m the reporter who has been tracking citizens detained by immigration agents. And last night, I noticed something: A lot of them were at the State of the Union, including a number of whom I’ve written about. Their stories should be known:

After a five-year saga rife with politics and interpersonal conflict, Nick Swayne is still leading North Idaho College, which is back in good standing with its accreditor. https://chroni.cl/4rxAsuy

Immigration courts by the #’s: - 25% less judges - 400 less legal assistants + clerks - 12 courts lost over half their judges, two have no full time IJs - supervisors spread across several locations We break down a clear picture of what is happening across the country: www.npr.org/2026/02/23/g...

I know there’s so much going on all over the world, but PLEASE don’t forget the unfathomable horrors Palestinian journalists have been — and continue to be — subjected to 💔😭

The suit decimated the Aryan Nations, and for a time, residents felt like things had calmed down—until Trump’s first term. “Things got weird in Coeur d’Alene after the 2016 election... But then after the Covid-19 pandemic, shit went completely off the rails.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

What Israel does so often w/ the organs of Palestinians is so unbelievably crazy that you sound insane just repeating it. It’s actually quite the cover for bad acts, make them so horrific nobody can believe they’re even possible. This teacher got fired for repeating what Palestinian doctors say...

I think Pam Bondi crashed the stock market.

The interview w/Idaho sheriff involved in the raid (who I covered OFTEN years ago) is striking. He disputes zip-tied kids until shown pic of 14YO girl (same pic that made FBI backtrack months ago) Then: "I've gone against gang members who are a lot younger than that" www.cbsnews.com/news/feds-zi...

ABOLISH ICE

I would be laughed out of the writers’ room if I pitched this. Measles exposure at a March for Life rally. www.npr.org/2026/02/08/n...

Super Bowl Sunday: spike day for incidence of domestic violence in the US.

My kiddo just said that something “doesn’t make logic,” and I’m not going to correct her.

Local authorities can investigate (and even charge) feds for alleged wrongdoing. So why don't they? @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social, Andy Mannix & I asked local jurisdictions around the country if they're conducting their own investigations into shootings by immigration agents Read what we found:

Idaho, we have 85 days to collect enough signatures to put the Reproductive Freedom and Privacy Act on the ballot. This initiative has every chance to succeed on November’s ballot, but only if we qualify. Here’s a link to events statewide where we can join our neighbors and make this happen!

1. Any version of “this isn’t America” or “this isn’t who we are” 2. “We are all immigrants” or “this nation was built by immigrants” 3. Any version of “ICE needs better training” 4. Calling for unity + peace, but not for justice 5. Focusing on “civil discourse” open.substack.com/pub/pinkparl...

It’s February 1 in Boise, Idaho. An area that, on average, gets 18” of snowfall a year. So far this winter we’ve gotten less than an inch. It smells and sounds like spring outside. I’m worried.

It really is worth understanding what an escalation this is by the feds to be teargassing the big family friendly march

Former South Park writer snapped up the website, www.trumpkennedycenter.org when Mango Mussolini’s incompetency forget to change the website name. And now there is a glorious website.

Karl Marx would like a word.

BOISE: The pro-ICE event at the Idaho State Capitol building was a massive flop. It appears they reserved the entire park and had the streets blocked off all the way through Cecil D. Andrus Park. You can barely make them out, not filling up the steps in front of the building.

Excited to share a new article from our team about the complicated human experiences of future lithium projects in the McDermitt Caldera. Pushing beyond narratives of for-or-against, our work highlights the nuance and uncertainties experienced in this new lithium country! @alidacantor.bsky.social

Cool to these guys doing so well!

Idaho, having a balanced budget as a requirement in the state constitution: "The US Constitution should totally do this too!" Also Idaho: "Tax breaks and private school vouchers for rich people shouldn't count towards balancing the budget."

ICYMI Here we have #Idaho, where the abuse of incarcerated women isn’t a crime, which actually fits right in with the misogyny that permeates this hellhole state at every damn level 🤬

Fuck this noise

And while they invade our neighborhoods, break down our doors, harass, detain, kidnap, terrorize and kill us — it’s all a slight of hand — not even the worst of what they’re doing. While we fight and weep, they cheat and steal. Don’t look away from any of it. Demand truth, accountability and justice

Children detained at the Dilley ICE detention center in Texas are chanting “Let us out!” as a lawyer films outside after being forcibly removed. Where is the media?

Good morning! Here's what I'm watching today- In SSA, Senator Lenney wants to repeal the women's commission and get rid of voter affidavits. In HLOC Rep Skaug has a bill relating to anti discrimination ordinances. #idpol #dleg legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/... www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

Stella Carlson - known as "Pink Jacket Lady" - is a hero! 🙌🏻 She gave a courageous 19 min interview telling her story of witnessing Alex Pretti's murder & why she feels it's important to speak out even when it puts her in danger. I pulled out the 4 best clips. 👇🏼🧵 Part 1: Why was she there?

85 seconds to midnight

TONIGHT: A preliminary DHS review contradicts the Trump admin's initial narrative of the shooting of Alex Pretti. The review makes no mention of Pretti attacking officers or threatening them with a weapon, or that he was the one initially disturbing them. www.npr.org/2026/01/27/g...

a failed coup is a dress rehearsal

STOP CALLING THEM OFFICERS They’re untrained henchmen, Gestapo, militia, hired assassins, thugs, goons, professional bullies, outlaws, sadists and psychopaths.

“Divide the populace… so it never unites against tyranny.”

I’m seeing/hearing folks in Idaho say they don’t want what’s happening in Minnesota to happen here — they don’t want neighbors targeted and kidnapped, don’t want this violence. They don’t want ICE thugs here. BUT ITS ALEADY HAPPENED/HAPPENING HERE. amp.idahostatesman.com/news/northwe...

Follow and support @estherkimvaret.bsky.social

Boise stands with Minneapolis. ICE must leave our cities, they are acting outside of the law. We are here for the victims of ICE violence. #AlexPretti #ReneeGood

Boise, Idaho. Anti-ICE demonstration. There's not enough room for the crowd. We're spilling out into neighboring blocks. We are angry AF.

I’m not suggesting anyone do anything illegal or “morally” reckless … but it’d be interesting to see if people are placing sports bets on tactics against 🧊. The finger bet would have returned nicely, I’m guessing. Sports betting is unhinged. 🧊 is unhinged. Could they cancel each other?

Alex from our time working together, while he was in nursing school. Later, he moved to ICU, working as a nurse to support critically ill Veterans. He had such a great attitude. We’d chat between patients about trying to get in a mountain bike ride together. Will never happen now
