This is who Republicans just made FBI Director. Kash Patel calls for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media”

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Paging Mr. Orwell. What is wrong with these people?

Again, since Musk is just a random non-Senate-confirmed WH adviser, federal law enforcement should arrest him & march him out in handcuffs when he enters federal agencies & tries to undo things Congress has authorized. Folks need to start remembering that they swore oaths to the Constitution.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

A Mount St. Helens ranger. A plant scientist on the rolling hills of The Palouse. An entire staff of backup crews meant to support front line firefighters during a raging wildfire. Across the PNW, the Trump administration gutted most of them. Here is their story: www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Please, middle-of-the-roaders, keep telling me this MFer is not a Nazi.

Let me ask again: where are presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton. Where are the Fortune 500 CEOs? The university presidents. Is all this “leadership” stuff they tout just words? I don’t want to think so but the question must be asked.

"No Kings on Presidents’ Day" protest w/ 50501 @50501movement.bsky.social it was energizing to join so many local people in #Boise #Idaho to protest against a lawless president and his billionaire benefactor.

Retribution and money. Trump has never cared about the country except as a vehicle for his ego and avarice. "“The entire force and power of the United States government is now part of the business support structure for the Trump family.”

Great turnout today on a cold, rainy morning here in #Boise, standing for democracy. @50501movement.bsky.social #idaho

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

Dem leadership still isn't quite understanding that if it doesn't stand up more fiercely now, there won't be any midterms to win.

This is probably the most accurate take.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

First, Trump pardoned violent J6 Neo-Nazis. Then Musk's salute made it clear his antisemitic online activity wasn't just for show. The Senate approved a christian nationalist to run the military. Now the U.S. Vice President is in Europe telling the Germans to stop being mean to their own Neo-Nazis.

We can't let these blatant attacks on our fundamental freedoms go unchallenged. Where is Congress?

COMMENTARY | Repealing Medicaid expansion means returning to a harmful reality where tens of thousands of Idahoans live in the coverage gap, writes guest columnist Kelly McGrath.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for access to immigrants transferred from the United States to detention at Guantánamo Bay in Cuba. Immigration lawyers have called Guantánamo a "black hole" in terms of lawyer's access to their clients.

Don't ever let them tell you they care about the Constitution. #idpol @SenatorRisch @MikeCrapo @RussFulcher @CongMikeSimpson idahocapitalsun.com/2025/02/12/i...

@foxnewsradio.bsky.social y'all are liars

#Idaho Republicans continuing their decades-long effort to make this state the Mississippi of the Northwest.

Until further notice...

But, sure, sure, keep believing they mean to *help* women with all this warfare against women...
