And Idaho public schools will suffer.
Unbelievable. With a 10 to 1 opposition, Governor Little demonstrated that he genuninely does NOT care about Idahoans. He just voted yes on the school voucher scheme.

Join me and sharing your disappointment with him:

AND THEN VOTE HIM OUT IN 2026!

How to assign blame - Trump edition. Step 1: Blame DEI. Step 2. Blame Joe Biden.
REPORTER: I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash.

TRUMP: Because I have common sense, ok? And unfortunately a lot of people don't

"For a party in a state that’s so focused on liberty, it’s sad and shameful that the supermajority Republican Legislature decides to use its political capital not on expanding the freedoms and liberties of its citizens, but on taking them away."

This seems out of touch with popular opinion. All of those Cannabis Dispensary billboards around the valley and full parking lots at certain businesses in Ontario is exhibit A.
House Republicans overwhelmingly signed off on a bill setting a minimum, mandatory fine for those convicted of simple possession of marijuana. Those caught and convicted of possessing fewer than three ounces of the drug would face a misdemeanor, with a minimum fine of $300 under the legislation.

Set out into the sagebrush. It's the habitat most people pass through on their western US national park roadtrip.

But healthy sagebrush is home to so many cool species. Here are some to spot.

Using a fascist salute to terrorize and intimidate and assert impunity is what fascist salutes were designed for. Musk used it in the originally intended manner.
Is Elon Musk an Asshole or Is He a Nazi?
These are not mutually exclusive options.

Bishop Mariann Budde's extraordinary sermon calling out Trump also gives Dems language to highlight his coming immigration horrors. Its impact shows there's still a way to reach people's decency and humanity.

On the pod, we dig into this. Listen in this link:

Trump’s executive order directs, as a matter of government power, that trans people don’t exist: That a person can’t transition to a gender different from their birth-assigned gender.

It’s hard to overstate how radical this order is: A government dictate that a class of people simply doesn’t exist.
