“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. ❤️

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.

"While Charlie Brown did once again accelerate toward the ball, miss it entirely as Lucy pulled it away, flip backward through the air, and land violently with a disquieting crunch, we do not believe that now is the time for a dramatic change in kicking strategy."

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.

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?
Federal immigration agents who killed a man during a traffic stop in Houston on Tuesday had been searching for a different person, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman.

Scott Pelley has been fired by '60 Minutes.' From earlier today, here's some admiration for his willingness to speak truth to power.

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
If you're looking for hope, high school students in Coeur d'Alene, ID organized an anti-ICE protest. If the past is a guide, these students will face threats and vitriol online from the MAGA adults in our town. These kids are courageous for this effort. cdapress.com/news/2026/fe...
I register high school students to vote, and I'm constantly trying to tell them they have the power IN THEIR HANDS. Here they are, using that power. Freaking love it.
Over 100 high school students rallied at the Colorado Capitol in Denver on Wednesday to urge lawmakers to pass a bill that would ban most production of 3D-printed guns in the state.

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.
"Images obtained by CBS News appear to show the zip ties and bruised wrists of Anabel Romero's 14-year-old daughter SueHey, a U.S. citizen who was tending to her 6- and 8-year-old siblings when the agents descended on the crowd in military-style gear and herded them into a confined area."
“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?”
There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.
DHS should be abolished. Visiting high schools where people vote has nothing to do with its mandate.Suppressing the vote improves the security of no one.

ID legislature is in their max-villain era this year. Massive cuts to Medicaid and public schools, and now we have to brutalize the few left on Medicaid while they are AT THE HOSPITAL.
Rep. Jordan Redman of Coeur d’Alene on Wednesday introduced draft legislation that would create a new requirement for hospitals that accept Medicaid to ask patients on their intake forms what their immigration status is. #idleg#idpol

Texas fire department helps ICE detain roofers—using tower ladder truck that should be reserved for local emergency.
Agents grab at workers' legs to yank them off multi-story house—even using pepper spray atop roof.
Firefighters did equip ICE with safety harness for this risky series of maneuvers.
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.
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.
