We did it! The Secretary of State has verified over 1,000 of our signatures, which means we’ve qualified for the 2026 ballot! These signatures came in from neighbors, farmers and ranchers, small business owners, veterans, and families I’ve been lucky enough to meet across Idaho.

The tax law passed by Congress last year let Amazon pay just $2.8B in federal income taxes—down from more than $7B in each of the prior two years.

All while its profits jumped 44.5% to $89.5B.

This is the same company that announced 16k layoffs last month.

Breaks for investment and research lowered the company’s payments to the U.S. government.

This last month has felt heavy, and I’m sure you’ve felt it too. I want you to know: you are not alone. You are not powerless.

In this week’s newsletter, we’re talking about what’s happening lately & why community matters, the American Dream rediscovered, and why Independence is the key to change.

POTUS owes the American people an apology for sharing racist content online. The White House is supposed to unite this country, not sow division and hate. The post may be deleted, but the damage is done—this is unacceptable.

Elected officials and those in power must hold this behavior accountable.

By every definition, Alex Pretti is a damn good American who should still be here today. Pretti was an ICU nurse for the VA, exercising his 1st and 2nd amendment rights at a protest when ICE pinned him down and shot him to death.

I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Joe B. McNeal. A decorated U.S. Air Force non-commissioned officer who served our nation for 26 years, Joe also made history as Mountain Home’s first Black mayor.

The Wall Street Journal calling out DHS’ dishonest statements. This is the good, truthful reporting that our nation depends on.

Today, another fatal shooting claimed the life of Alex J. Pretti, a registered nurse, AFGE Local 3669 member, and American citizen exercising his 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

Untrained, unprofessional ICE agents are killing American citizens.

My opponent is a millionaire incumbent who’s been in Washington since 2009—and now ranks among the wealthiest in the Senate.

We can’t match his dollars, but all together we can grow our momentum and take Idaho's seat back in 2026. ⬇️

It was 32 days at the time of this recording, and today marks 34 days since the DOJ was required by law to release the Epstein Files in full.

Where are the Epstein Files? Who are they protecting?

Last week, I stopped in to Bonners Books to buy something that's been on my reading list for a while. I was lucky enough to catch the owner that day, who told me about how he had left Bonners Ferry for 40 years and eventually came back to run this community staple. #Idaho

The first few weeks of the year have been dominated by an onslaught of unprecedented news. The rapid exercise of executive power, the constant churn of headline-driven policy, the sidelining of Congress, and the absence of accountability should concern every Idahoan—regardless of party.

We had a big crowd turn out for my Sandpoint meet and greet last Friday! I got to give my spiel, take some really good questions, and chat with folks across the political spectrum who feel ready to put people over party this November.

Thank you for having me, Sandpoint. 🇺🇸

In today's Todd Talks: Greenland pt. 2 (recorded Jan 19, 2026). We debunk claims used to justify seizing NATO allies, and reaffirm what “America First” means to Idahoans.

“America First” apparently now means talking about seizing Greenland and straining relationships with our NATO allies.

Instead of governing, we’re getting reckless distractions. Here are three real reasons why floating the idea of taking over Greenland is a bad idea for the United States.

As chair of the Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Jim Risch owes it to all Americans to ensure that our sons and daughters in uniform are not being used to fuel yet another forever war.

Great turnout today in Bonners Ferry before we booked it to Sandpoint for our Fri night meet and greet! 🚐🎤

Man, I love North Idaho.

My opponent is a millionaire incumbent who’s been in Washington since 2009—and now ranks among the wealthiest in the Senate. Most Idahoans will never experience that kind of wealth, and he still has the audacity to ask you for more money. These recent asks show how out of touch he’s become… 1/2

Meatpackers are getting busted again for price fixing, and that's why the food on your dinner plate is costing you more and more. If we're going to be America first, we need to actually put Americans first and put a stop to the rot of corporate greed.

I'm excited to announce I'm going to be at the Banff Mountain Film Festival this SAT, Jan. 17th at 7:00 p.m. in Sandpoint.

This is such a cool indie festival with 6 short films to view on Saturday night.

Kicking off a rally to protect Medicaid and common sense healthcare policy in Idaho.

The President is right on this one! Stock buybacks are crippling the functionality of our markets by putting wealth extraction at the top of the priority list. This is NOT the same as making a business more profitable.
