Idaho-call the governors office 208-334-2100. The recording will ask if you are calling about HB93, the school voucher bill. Press 1 (yes). When it asks if you want Gov. Little to sign or veto, select VETO (option 2). Took less than 30 seconds. Pass along to anyone supporting public education.

Donald Trump isn't interested in a smaller government, he wants a weaponized government. He doesn't want fewer federal employees, he just wants them loyal to him.

I'm proud to be part of the fight.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

“We’ll pull the rug out from under them later.” That’s what school-voucher advocate Ryan Spoon said a few weeks ago, admitting openly that the end game is to defund our public schools. Today Spoon made his case for vouchers at a Freedom Foundation event at the Capitol. #idpol

Sorry, America. We can feed the elderly with Meals on Wheels or we can let billionaires cheat on their taxes. We can't do both.

"Libraries, the report’s authors write, tend to be having “increasing difficulties buying new titles on physical media, hastening the shift to digital audiobook." Ya think? And can I say how much I hate the Audible monopoly? Fewer choices in both digital and physical for libraries. 😡

Had a cheery holiday weekend - participated in the Library's read aloud of A Christmas Carol yesterday and then spent this afternoon giving tours of the Stricker House during our Victorian Christmas Event. Drinking some wassail and feeling not quite as humbug tonight 🎄.

Hosted game night last night, so the house is still relatively clean, I have leftovers for goodies savory and sweet, and not much on my to-do list today but read. Happy Pajama Sunday to me!

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.
