“The White House is paying attention to Idaho,” Nampa Republican Sen. Brian Lenney said, referencing a letter from a White House adviser supporting one of the stalled bills. “And they’re not happy with what they’re seeing and what they saw this legislative session.” #idleg #idpol
The forces arrayed against the ag economy this year are formidable. All were predictable in one form or another. This was predicted by climate change. Tariffs and the Iran War make fertilizer and diesel prohibitive. No snow pack with El Nino on the horizon. #idpol

“My identity as a woman is the only identity that I've ever known... I was created this way by God, just as we were all created to be who we are.”
... fewer than 1% of U.S. adults are #transgender but are four times more likely to be victims of a violent crime than cisgender people.

Hey Idaho, need something to do this weekend?
How about qualifying some districts for the Reproductive Freedom & Privacy Act? Our greatest need is in Nampa! This Saturday will be fun, there are so many volunteers signed up already.
Strength in numbers!! #idpol

Because the Idaho Legislature officially wrapped up work for the year last Thursday, Idaho Gov. Brad Little has more time to decide what to do with the final bills of the 2026 legislative session. #idleg #idpol
Deranged president threatening to wipe out a whole civilization and Idaho's congressional delegation is MIA.
Are they in favor of genocide, or not? They're afraid to say. They are MISSING. Do they even have any thoughts?

The governor has until 5 p.m. April 14 to decide what to do on the bills left on his desk. #idleg #idpol
Word is that the Big Wood River runoff has already peaked for the season. (I thought the drainage had over 100% snowpack). Magic Reservoir to run dry by the first week of June without more rain. #idpol
Idaho's Medicaid administrator wrote the agency would immediately resume reimbursing for the Assertive Community Treatment program, a mobile treatment program designed to serve people with severe mental illness who have struggled in routine treatment settings. #idleg #idpol

Idaho is in the national news again, as always, for a bad reason. Front page of the NY Times.
It's good to correct a mistake, but better to prevent mistakes in the first place. When will they ever learn?

After the governor signed into law a bill to reinstate cut Medicaid mental health programs, the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare announced it would start reimbursing providers for the full services. #idleg #idpol
#Idaho Secretary of State Philip McGrane (R) is refusing to turn over Idaho’s’ complete, unredacted statewide voter registration list.
"... voters’ full names, dates of birth, residential addresses, and either driver’s license numbers or the last four digits of Social Security numbers... " #idpol
List of candidates for fourth judicial district

Got my mail-in ballot today. Looks like all the judicial seats are unopposed except this one. Any thoughts on these three?
Idaho shot itself in the foot.
More accurately, #idleg shot the rest of us in the foot.
35% of doctors who provide obstetric care have left the state.
We have a public health catastrophe, thanks to the #Idaho #GOP.

Rep. Rod Furniss, R-Rigby, and former legislator Karey Hanks both claim they best represent the interests of citizens in Fremont, Clark, Jefferson and Lemhi counties. #idleg #idpol
Thinking about my neighbors today. I hope they are with their families, forgetting about their policy driven hardships.
I’ve had thousands of face to face convos with my fellow Idahoans in recent months.
We all want the same thing. Autonomy & safety. If we work together, we can have them. #idpol
#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.

"By failing to hold hearings on the Iran War, U.S. Sen. Jim Risch, R-Idaho, who chairs the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee, abdicates his constitutional duty."
Idaho needs a senator who takes his duties seriously.
Vote him out.
