New public lands sale leaves Boise Foothills vulnerable.

In addition to kicking millions of Americans off their health insurance, cutting taxes for the wealthy, and adding trillions to the deficit, other parts of Trump’s Budget are also harmful and unpopular. We need to make sure more people learn about them.

God, I really want one of their t-shirts. www.joemygod.com/2025/06/tens...

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...

A valid point! They can’t claim there was no time to consult the Congressional Gang of Eight and share key intelligence with them, as required before committing the nation to war.

Tr*mp caused this war. He allowed Iran to build nukes when he cancelled the nuclear agreement that forbade enriching uranium & allowed inspections. When Iran (obvs.) built nukes, h started a war with them. Tr*mp is extremely dangerous.

He’s a total hypocrite.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Why are no headlines focusing on the unconstitutional and dictatorial nature of this action?

Her sign is coming with her, the former West Ada teacher said.

A question every reporter should be asking Trump and Republicans: If Trump doesn't trust his own Director of National Intelligence, and by extension, US intelligence, then which country's intelligence is he relying upon?

In ALL wars leadership oft slips into hyperbole. In this one we will be in a constant state of bold-faced lies. There is a difference.

So now there may be a war because #TrumpleThinSkin couldn't stand an Obama success?

Michael Boren is the last person who should be in charge of the Forest Service.

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

Trump's ICE raids mean Washington farmers cannot harvest this year's cherry crop, and that many will now go out of business. www.spokesman.com/stories/2025...

Every accusation is a confession.

I know my colleagues already dropped this line (h/t: @brendanvduke.bsky.social ), but it bears repeating - there already exists a rural hospital fund and it is called: 🚨🚨MEDICAID🚨🚨 www.politico.com/live-updates...

The U.S. exports coups. But now they’re being staged right here at home out in the open. Kristi Noem says DHS is in California to “liberate” people from their elected leaders. It’s time to change course America.🇺🇸

1/2 This is appalling in principle—and shocking in detail, if you Zoom in on specific parcels offered for rush sale. www.wilderness.org/articles/med... Eg (shown in dark green) Forest Service land people use for hiking, camping, horse-riding, general outdoors-ing in San Bernardino Mountains.

He needs to be censured.. then booted out.

“Over 250 million acres of public lands are eligible for sale in the bill, including local recreation areas, wilderness study areas and inventoried roadless areas.” www.wilderness.org/articles/med...

I bet those Wilkes boys are frothing over potential land buys.

Public Lands. What we all lose if sold off: access to your favorite trout stream, your elk camp, freedom to hike & roam, make a wilderness camp & watch the aurora borealis, listening to a wolf pack howling at first light, gathering morels & huckleberries. List goes on & on. KEEP IT PUBLIC!!!

Fuck all of this shit. #Veterans #VA #DougCollins www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Compare and contrast scenes from yesterday in America. On the one hand, Trump's low-energy Dear Leader parade (that cost you $45 million). On the other, millions of people across the country gathering peacefully to say: Here, we have no kings.

Question: When are we going to call the white man who clearly plotted and schemed an act of violence, and shot two Minnesota law makers and their spouses out of political hatred a terrorist?

Yes, it is!

In my decades of statehouse protest, I've never seen a larger or more energetic crowd. From the top window I surmised 5K+. But in walking the crowd I realized ALL the public space was occupied under the trees across the street. Huge diversity of age and race. 7-8K #Boise #NoKings

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

Way to go Boise!

BORDER PATROL: “Are you an 🇺🇸 citizen?” 🔥 NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN: “FIRST ONES. We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us… what are you? You’re not first born. You’re not from this f*ckin’ land. Punk-as* b*tches.”

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Surprise! It was slavery all along.
