The private company that runs Idaho Medicaid’s mental health benefits is planning to cut critical services for people with severe mental illness.

The cuts stem from the state’s attempts to avoid a projected budget shortfall.

We must stand with Ukraine. I'm sending a donation to u24.gov.ua
And calling my U.S. Senators to demand we not force Ukraine to accept surrender to Russia's invasion.
Odesa is currently under a massive drone attack. Local channels report that parts of the city are without power.

Anyone else worried about what he's going to do to distract from the Epstein news? If I were Venezuela I'd be worried right now.

And now Middleton is going to take advantage of legislation that was meant to provide state funding to rural areas of Idaho that don't have the tax base to build school facilities, rather than communities that have money but don't want to pay anything, like Middleton.

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! 100% correct!
The two options here were to not shutdown the government 40 days ago or to shutdown the government and hold until the Republicans caved or killed the filibuster.

Instead, it’s the pain of a 40 day shutdown without anything substantial to show for it, which just pisses everyone off.

You are going to Cave on the shutdown for Nothing in return. Rep. concessions are meaningless.
-by law, fed employees must be paid, so that's not a win.
-ACA subsidies vote in Dec will amount to Nothing.
-Fed employees that'll be rehired, will simply be fired again.

The day looks a lot lighter after last night. Nice to relax for a bit and then keep moving forward together.

Dropped off ballots at the election office and headed home after a great day, of Ada County voters voicing their choice at the ballot box.
Happy #Election2025.

Traffic inbound (East) on the Boise I-84 connector was at a total bumper-to-bumper standstill this evening. Traffic backed up for several miles. Took me an hour to drive home, usually a 15 min drive.
An ambulance has to try to ride the left shoulder through this mess with lights and siren blaring.

So, I'm supposed to take my mother to the opera on Friday. How awkward is it going to be to have an earphone in, listening to Game 6 during Sweeney Todd?
