Hunting, fishing, camping, hiking are not partisan. Our public lands are part of what makes Idaho special. It'd be foolish and short sighted to sell them off. Instead, we should be improving access to them and encouraging their enjoyment by the public!

Just remember...there was absolutely nothing normal about the United States Deputy Attorney General, Todd Blanche, meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell. Nothing. Not by protocol. Not by precedent. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

When it comes to Epstein, the grand jury transcripts aren’t the ones that people seeking the truth should be interested in. Prosecutors always say, “Follow the money.” That’s as true here as in any other case. Read about how it could happen: joycevance.substack.com/p/laffaire-e...

One reason we tolerate the evisceration of USAID is skepticism about aid's effectiveness. Yet aid can and does save lives. As @billgates.bsky.social notes here, child deaths from diarrhea have fallen 72% since 2000: www.gatesnotes.com/work/save-li...

The chaos Trump is experiencing is the result of not considering the cost of keeping a promise before making it.

I struggled with this until I was about 30 years old. Trump is 79...and the President of the United States. He hasn't learned. This is an ingrained pattern for Donald. He. Never. Learns

The Trump administration is going to destroy close to 500 metric tons of emergency food-enough to feed about 1.5 million children for a week

That cost American taxpayers nearly $1 million

Instead of distributing it to starving kids around the world

Waste
Fraud
And abuse

Plus sheer incompetence

Yesterday, Maurene Comey, who prosecuted the Epstein case, was summarily fired from SDNY. Her letter to colleagues pulls no punches. "Fear is the tool of a tyrant, wielded to suppress independent thought."

Just in case anyone is falling for it, Trump continues to hurt Ukraine with too few weapons provided too late. The real message sent yesterday Russia is there will be no real pressure on them for the foreseeable future. And the whole secondary sanctions thing is a red herring. Won’t happen.
