Never been more true in ID. Healthcare for women is on the ballot. Vote YES on Prop 1.

“Have more babies!” they say. 🙃 Meanwhile… 🦠 Measles is back. 💸 Daycare costs more than a mortgage. 🤰OBs are nowhere nearby. Make it make sense. 🫠 PUBLIC HEALTH IS ON THE BALLOT. 🗳️ Women and our families deserve better. Don’t just share this meme. GO VOTE. ❤️ #PublicHealth #Vote #Affordability

Idaho, election day is coming up! PLEASE check your voter registration. People get dumped off the rolls without realizing it. If you aren't registered, no worries! We have same day voter registration. However, you need to bring proof of residency (like a utility bill) and a current ID.

Went to an event discussing impacts on physicisns of ID strict abortion ban. ID has now lost 43% of our OBGYNs in 2 years. Up from 35% in May 2026 and 25% in May 2025

Women in large portions of the state now have to travel an hour or more not only to give birth, but for any kind of gynecological care. You can imagine the impact this will have on women surviving childbirth but also surviving cancers normally dx by a gynecologist.

Prop 1 in Idaho can help prevent these unnecessary deaths.

Abortion is healthcare. Deaths from ectopic pregnancy increased in states with abortion bans than others. An untreated ectopic pregnancy causes bleeding, fallopian tube rupture, death. www.propublica.org/article/ecto... #pinks

The vandalism and desecration of the White House isn't just vanity and it's not trivial. It's caesarism, as in literally what Julius Caesar did to the symbolic architecture of civic republicanism. Our national iconography matters and allowing the disfiguring of it to persist is a substantive harm.

I live in ruby red north Idaho, and see zero reason to "reach across the aisle" to mourn lindsey graham. It changes zero minds and the assholes who threw all their convictions away for Trump need to see that it fucks up their legacy. You can't win hearts and minds with weakness.

Today Trump said he "just finished a perfect physical at Walter Reed, I do ​it every six months, and I requested another Cognitive Test..." If it was May, not having a realistic sense of the passing of time is clear dementia symptom. If it was today, wtf getting another test done so soon?

I am constantly overwhelmed by what our young people are enduring: Covid isolation, AI stealing jobs, lack of affordable housing, ICE stealing their classmates. We are creating a truly traumatized generation. They deserve so much better.

Trump: "We've taken people that were dead. We had a person given the last rites -- gone, the kids are crying and everything -- and started them on this drug. And the person became better. It works."

A “former Palantir executive recently confirmed what many have long suspected. In a public stmt, the whistleblower said it plainly: Palantir intended to take over the US government, & many of his former colleagues are now installed inside the federal apparatus. He called it an occupied nation.” 1/

Hell yes! Needs to happen in CDA. So many properties sitting empty, meanwhile all the service industry people can't afford rent in our town or even dream of owning a home.

I think the history books will show that most of the damage done during the Trump era was by ignoramuses supporting other ignoramuses to do really shitty shit.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Coeur d'Alene, ID No Kings protest had approximately 2,000 people. Bigger than last time, and more importantly ZERO counter-protesters (aside from the stupid Trump Train that drives EVERY Saturday). NK1 had armed counter-protesters across the street, NK2 had less than 6, NK3 - ZERO.

The bill faced opposition from associations representing county sheriff’s offices and local police departments, who said the 287(g) program should be optional, mainly because of costs associated with forcing agencies to enter into them. #idleg #idpol

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

Donahue "a self-proclaimed cowboy who participated in the raid on horseback" said "law enforcement is not evil because we contained everybody and detained them until we sorted it out. That's not evil." They ZIP-TIED A 14 YR OLD CITIZEN. Not OK for non-citizen kids either. How brave, big cowboy man.

I hate what we have done to children, not just the last 10 years, but over the last 25 years. My son was the same age as the children who died at Sandyhook. We've raised a whole generation to be afraid that the worst can happen at any minute.

The anti-ICE protest in CDA, pulled together in less than 24 hours, was larger than this pathetic display.

BOISE: The pro-ICE event at the Idaho State Capitol building was a massive flop. It appears they reserved the entire park and had the streets blocked off all the way through Cecil D. Andrus Park. You can barely make them out, not filling up the steps in front of the building.

BOISE: Right-wing out of town group, Idaho Liberty Dogs, will be invading downtown Boise on Saturday, January 31st, at 1 PM for a Vanilla Ice themed PRO-ICE rally at the Idaho State Capitol Building. Expect them to be armed and have state and local police support. Usually bait conflict for media.
