“¡La migra está aquí!” Chicago, I love you. 🥹 I’m coming to visit.

There are lots of reasons to hope. "Trump’s support may dismay his opponents, but it’s far lower than he needs to kill off democracy[...]populists who defeated democracy since 1980 had approval ratings of 80%or more — nearly twice Trump’s approval rating..." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Calling electeds! #Idpol 1. To Simpson - been disappointed w/ your finger pointing re: the shut down. Americans want solutions, not childish blame. 2. To Risch - We already know ACA credit limits came from Covid - it doesn’t change that ppl can’t afford to lose them rn. 3. Crapo - Thank you

It's now considered controversial to fight the KKK in a video game.

Dems are advancing a winning populist issue and they either aren't campaigning on it or they aren't getting traction in the new balkanized media. Either way, they need to unfuck it. Good on Idaho Ds for this.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

A little piece on the #Boise Clean Water & Open Space Levy from Idaho Conservation League. About to mail in my ballot with my “in favor” vote. idahoconservation.org/blog/what-th...

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Whoa. What? I didn’t didn’t know this was arson…

lol - continued embarrassing L’s for this corrupt administration. They are going to try everything. It does not mean that they will succeed.

Great letter to the editor in yesterday’s Idaho Press by Michelle Tanberg about school vouchers & how you can support public ed in #Idaho. If anyone knows her, please pass along my kudos. And remember, Public School Strong Idaho has 2 events coming up! www.idahopress.com/opinion/lett...

COMMENTARY | Crapo, it seems clear, has been stonewalling any effort to force release of material that members of his staff reviewed more than 18 months ago, writes guest columnist Marc Johnson. #idpol

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Public School Strong Idaho meetup 10/16, 6pm. Everyone welcome! Idaho Rep Steve Berch speaking. There will be food. Come out! #publicschoolstrongidaho #boise #idaho

Neighbor shared pics she got of our Western Screech Owl family earlier this year. #birds #🪶 #screechowl

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This is true. But it’s down from 10,000 in 2024 which I believe indicates the direction we’re actually heading.

Gross. Alan Dershowitz will be speaking in Boise. I won't be here but I hope some of you folks can show up outside with some anti-pedophile signs. isb.idaho.gov/blog/2025-be... #Epstein #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

How worried are we about the AI bubble? And anybody got recommendations on how to prepare? Is my retirement ☠️?

I’m not getting along with some of my succulents & cacti now that the season is changing. I try so hard to get it right. A few have ☠️. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I cry when one of my plants die.

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇

I’m left-flank through and through. But even I get real tired of the tone of so much of our discourse being this:

Today, I filed a #HatchAct complaint against @forestservice.bsky.social Chief Tom Schultz for violating 5 U.S.C. § 7324, prohibition on political activities We won’t tolerate partisan messages from USFS, which manages 40% of Idaho’s land for *all* Idahoans. Follow the Constitution.

Can someone fill me in on what the fight between users & BlueSky is? I can’t seem to parse…

Reminder that none of this is private. 🧹🧹🧹 bsky.jazco.dev/cleanup 🧹🧹🧹

Oop. Turns out that voters blame the GOP more for the shutdown by an average of 12 pts.

In the first quarter of 2025, farm bankruptcies increased by 95% Remember: the policies leading to bankruptcy are purposeful. Our food supply is in danger…there is no better way to bring a country to its knees than having control of its food supply.

Oooh! #Boise, has anyone tried The ReUse Market in Garden City? Looks like they have fabric scraps & ribbons & such. I. Am. Going! www.reusemarket.org

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter. It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote. And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

A collection of words I didn’t anticipate seeing together: “Schwarzenegger was at the Vatican to headline a three-day climate conference” Whoever delivers the message, I’ll take it. The #Vatican has been doing this for 10 years? #climatechange #schwarzenegger apnews.com/article/schw...

Idaho: Come to this short virtual call 10/27 to learn more about supporting public school funding, before it's too late. I'll be speaking along with a few others. #publicschoolstrongidaho Sign up!👇 publicschoolstrong.controlshift.app/events/idaho...

OR - ask your stupid leader to stop creating bullshit problems for us? Hm, Mikey?

Called all 3 electeds (Crapo, Risch, Simpson). 1st expressed solidarity w/the aids answering phones. They are fed employees & impacted. Told them about “You are not alone” program. 2nd asked that blaming language around the shutdown be stopped & for the lawmakers to get to work on a compromise.

Yep. My firefighter just got home from a fire. He’s sick & all wrung out. And now we might get to pay the government’s credit card bill for his travel expenses & he’ll get to work dispatch for free. #thankstrump #gopshutdown #trumpshutdown

They look unimpressed.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days. Mike Johnson voted “no” on that. They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

I knew on November 6th. I’m sure most of you did too. Oh well. He can put us through hell. We’ll come out stronger on the other side. 🤍

The are just so excited to take away ppl’s access to healthcare. Luke Mayville & Reclaim Idaho are setting off to tour Idaho combatting this BS. If you’d like to contribute: url1005.email.actionnetwork.org/ss/c/u001.iI...

When I constantly harp on getting involved in community, it can be this simple. Helping to feed your neighbors with your extra. This is beautiful. #caldwell #Idaho “Local gardeners bring community together by sharing surplus goods” idahopress-id.newsmemory.com?publink=3463...

My husband just got home from fighting fire. Sick from whatever was going around fire camp, dirty, exhausted. And now we may get to pay the government’s credit card bill for his travel expenses because the GOP is incapable of compromise. #GOPgovernmentshutdown

Have you checked to add if you or your loved ones need a measles booster? I needed one.
