After several legislative moves to punt decisions on Medicaid cuts this year, Idaho Republican lawmakers on Monday introduced a bill to repeal Medicaid expansion. #idleg #idpol

BREAKING: An Idaho House Committee passed HB 822. This dangerous and unconstitutional bill would require trusted adults, such as teachers and counselors, to monitor children for signs that they are not conforming to gender stereotypes. Learn more about the bill: buff.ly/7kw0CXu

Morning. Agendas (and my work schedule) are pretty busy today, will bounce around as much as possible until 3pm. This morning, SSA has a hearing on a change related to the abortion trafficking law and House H&W is trying to repeal Medicaid expansion. #idleg #idpol www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

I feel like I lost a years worth of sleep instead of an hour. 😭

Morning! Only a couple committees meeting this morning. Health and Welfare has some stuff relating to Medicaid. Was an RS for a full expansion repeal but its been changed. HSA has Tim Walz, Public Funds so I'm gonna check that out, then floor sessions. #idpol #idleg www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

lol I forgot all about this. This dude is whack.

Morning. Will be mostly focused on floor sessions today but there's an RS related to the Hispanic Affairs Commission in Tax and Rev so I'll be checking that out. #idpol #idleg www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

Comparing brownface to someone's gender identity trivializes racism and dismisses the legitimacy of trans people’s existence. Brownface reinforces harmful stereotypes and has a long history rooted in dehumanization. Transgender people aren’t impersonating anyone. They are living as themselves.

January 6 is trending again and it's never because it's the day I was born 😭😂

After Idaho’s 2024 presidential caucus drew low voter turnout, Republican state lawmakers are considering reinstating the presidential primary. #idleg #idpol

An Idaho House committee on Tuesday rejected a bill to criminalize helping unauthorized immigrants. #idleg #idpol

Crazy alt-right idaho Twitter folks have been losing their minds over the failure and delay of legislation they want passed. It brings me much joy in these dark times.

"During the private discussion, which an Idaho Capital Sun reporter observed, multiple JFAC members discussed specific dollar amounts... which potentially raises questions about JFAC’s transparency and whether public decisions are being made outside of a public meeting." #idleg

Morning potato heads. I'll be watching House State Affairs and House Jud committees today. HSA- Obergefell memorial hearing House Jud- HB 764 Concealing, Harboring, Shielding Aliens I'll explain what HB 764 does below. #idpol #idleg www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

Yes please distract us with talk about how beautiful the stupid fucking ballroom is going to be while you bomb Iran. It's what the people crave! 🙄

Good morning friends. Lots of new bill introductions this morning and a ConCon balanced budget amendment hearing in Senate Jud at 1:30 MT. I will be tuning into floor sessions for sure. Looks like the Senate could start voting on budget items today. #idpol #idleg www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

Forget selling arms and whatnot. Now you can war profiteer with a prediction market. Polymarket has democratized war profiteering and made it accessible to all!

NYT puzzles continue to disappoint. What the hell is with today’s Strands??

If you’re using ChatGPT, you should stop. OpenAI stepped in when Anthropic got dropped by Pentagon and I highly doubt the Pentagon changed their terms.

Holy crap what year is it!? 😩

A Republican Idaho lawmaker on Friday proposed bills that would make significant changes to a law he pushed for two years ago that forced Idaho public and school libraries to move materials deemed harmful to children, or face lawsuits. #idleg #idpol

Hell yeah.

I’d love to be able to send images via DM. Why isn’t this thing yet 😭 @bsky.app

Oh hello there! Today I'll be watching mostly House committees. #idpol #idleg House Ed- Bible Readings, Immigration Data(new bill), AI in Ed hearing HSA- Obscene Material and Material Harmful to Minors And SSA- MACHINE GUNS! www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

In N Out, new season of Survivor AND House of Villains… hell yeah.

Hearing for HB 659, 287(g) agreements will start in a bit. Have a couple items ahead of it. If you want to follow along, use the links provided in the original posts. EW 05 is the room link, House Business agenda. Hopefully no one shows up in brown face today. #idpol #idleg

Melissa is right. Omelas Energy is the urge to say "it's not that many, how bad could it be? Shouldn't we focus on other things?" and it's wrong. If they are harming your siblings, you can't look away and say "there's so many other siblings doing fine, these ones do not matter." We are connected.

Morning cutie pies! I'm mostly focused on House committees today. #idpol #idleg HSA- All hearings there House Local Gov- hearing for HB 659, 287(g) agreements between ICE and local, county LE House Ed- all bill introductions legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/... www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

The only good thing to come out of having this fuckass flu is I lost 7lbs. Would be super cool if I could walk upstairs without coughing and feeling lightheaded tho 😭😂

A bill to require election poll workers to attempt to verify the identity of voters before giving them ballots is headed to the Idaho Senate. #idleg #idpol

More information on this bill and why I think its dangerous. If the AG thinks that a city, county official, public employee etc is violating a state law, they can issue an order to comply. #idpol #idleg

Morning nerds. Lots of new bill introductions today and a few hearings I'm definitely interested in. #idpol #idleg SSA- hearing on voting affidavits House Jud- Several hearings there legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/... legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/...

Sorry what kind of elitists? Dude just casually dropping slurs during interviews.

Hi hello! This morning I'm watching House Ed and Health and Welfare, the the floor sessions. #idleg #idpol legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/...

Hello! I'll be watching House State Affairs and House Health and Welfare until floor sessions. HSA- RS titled 'Obergefell, Marriage' and I think it might be similar to a bill in the TN legislature. I hope I'm wrong. H&W-looking to bring back the ACT program. #idleg www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

yooooo whatever this fuckass flu going around is definitely tried to kill me. I swear I've never been so sick in my life. stay safe boise! 😭😂

Idaho’s prison system will no longer release information about whether an officer retired, resigned or was fired. It comes after we used those records to expose alleged sexual misconduct by dozens of prison guards. w/ the @invisible.institute - www.investigatewest.org/idaho-record...

Good morning. I'm not really paying attention to anything other than floor votes today. #idleg Link to everything: www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi... If you want to see what bills are floating around out there and track their progress, use this link: lso.legislature.idaho.gov/MyBillTracke...

The comment section is super sad and they don't realize that the Idaho ag industry supplies a ton of product for the entire country. This is also not just an Idaho problem, nor is it just a problem for the folks who voted red. It's harming everyone.

From the SOP "This does not change the number of school days. It changes only the start date, which will have no fiscal effect." Well that can't be right. In order to maintain the same instruction time, there would have to be changes to breaks and/or end of school year date.

Hi friends. I'm sick so I slept through all morning committees. I did tune into the House floor session though. HB 607 (bathroom bounty bill) passed the House. Vote was 56-13-1. 607 applies to ALL public accommodations in public and private spaces. #idpol #idleg

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

ughhh I clicked on googles valentines doodle thing expecting something cute but NOPE it put me into an ai chatbot instead. I hate it here.

this is some judge dredd shit. no thank you.

Morning! Late posting but house agenda is packed. #idpol #idleg legislature.idaho.gov/sessioninfo/... www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

He can't do anything right.

Remember when I said we were going to see a massive legislation dump soon? WELP.... this is the agenda for House Jud and Rules tomorrow 🫠 #idleg #idpol

Good morning. There are a couple immigration-related items on the agenda in House Local Gov at 1:30 MT. Other than that, I'm really only watching the House floor at 11am MT. HB 561 (flag bill) is on the calendar and should be up for a vote. #idleg #idpol www.idahoptv.org/shows/idahoi...

The bill would direct the Idaho State Board of Education to collect aggregated data on students' immigration status. It's one proposal among a suite of immigration-related bills that a group of GOP lawmakers unveiled last week. www.idahoednews.org/top-news/sta...
