Happy Thanksgiving neighbors! I hope we can still be friends in two years.

Jim Risch has served almost 18 years, and his TV ad's onlyl message is that he fought to not sell public land (vs Utah Rep). He doesn't mention his personal wealth went from $20M to $52M. He's pro school prayer, “Religious Education Week,” and supports homeschooling. Go away Jim. Time to retire.

I think it’s great when I’m in Boston. But if we can’t help the local folk making donuts then I don’t want any donuts. And I never don’t want donuts!

The anti-prop 1 folks are bending language in the prop. It does not legalize abortion up to 9 months - it allows it to be a medical option if necessary. There were less than 2 abortions at or beyond 21 weeks (5 months) in Idaho in 2022. (CDC data) Keep religion out of our laws. Vote Yes.

This law allows the police to pull over anyone, anytime. The reasoning of "...simplifying requirements for drivers and reducing long-term costs for the state" sounds lovely, but this law makes EVERY vehicle on the road subject to a traffic stop. itd.idaho.gov/news/idaho-e...

Idaho ends annual registration stickers July 1 and shifts to permanent license plates. Drivers must still renew registration, and Parks and Rec stickers remain required for small‑plate vehicles.

Jim Risch is running ads about how much he's defending Idaho's Public Lands. Jim Risch is also supporting the BLM leadership nomination of Steve Pearce. This is like proclaiming the health benefits of a vegetarian diet while eating lamb chops with your hands. Either defend them Jim, or don't.

Mike Simpson - who looks like he died 5 years ago and nobody told him - used the words 'Idahoans are tired of status quo in Washington DC' in his TV ad. Mike Simpson has been in DC for 27 years. TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS!! Mike Simpson IS the status quo in DC.

I had no idea! I've parked 5' from crosswalks for about 35 years.

#Boise - anyone ever get a ticket or warning about parking within 20’ of a crosswalk? In 35 years I’ve never heard of this. I was 5’ from the crosswalk of an intersection on 14th.

The CEO of Dr Pepper, Tim Cofer, makes $7 million dollars a year and their entire advertising campaign right now is how generous they are to offer $100,000 to the student who can throw the most footballs into an oversized can.

It is sad to me that the NCAA and Dr Pepper talk about providing one student with tuition (she threw footballs at a target) while LSU is using $54M in actual Louisiana tax dollars to fire their last coach. $54M would pay 4-year tuitions for 1,083 students at LSU. Priorities, NCAA.

Jim Risch - you coward - come back to Idaho and meet us in person. 19 years in office and all you've done is OPPOSE helping Americans - so come talk to us in person (not on the phone) and tell us why you're now just rolling over and agreeing to ideas that hurt us even more.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

St. Al's with the new 'Bring It' advertisement - yikes. It's like MMA meets hospital services. That was horrible. (And the scene with the woman holding her leg in pain, just like Peter added a humorous element they probably didn't intend)

If I'm watching a movie on Prime and a commercial comes on for Rexulti, should I feel paranoid that my taste in movies may not be good for my overall mood? I just wanted to watch a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. (Dear Prime: I mute the TV during your ads)

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Christianity is a religion about following Jesus’ teachings of love, forgiveness, and spiritual salvation. Christian nationalism is a political movement that uses Christian symbols and language to justify power, exclusion, and control — often in ways that conflict with Christianity’s core message.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.
