Southern Oregon/Idaho.“We the People” means everyone. (he/him)

FACT CHECK: Christine Drazan backed a bill to dismantle the vote-by-mail system Oregonians have trusted for more than 25 years, pushing Trump’s voter suppression agenda right here in Oregon.

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.

Trump is such an abject failure that the GQP is concerned about @democrats.org flipping a seat in…<checks notes>… Idaho. I don’t trust that Idaho Mormons & Evangelicals in Idaho have come to terms with the fact that Trump has no Christian values whatsoever. They haven’t despite 10+ years of proof.

Idaho residents recently received a fundraising appeal from Vice President JD Vance to support Idaho’s Republican U.S. Sen. Jim Risch in his campaign for reelection, claiming Democrats were prepared to spend millions to defeat the incumbent in what Vance said is an “urgent national race.” #idpol

I asked Trump’s AI if FHWA has data showing bike lanes make streets safer. “Yes, FHWA lists bicycle lanes as a proven safety countermeasure…studies found roadways did not see an increase in crashes or congestion when travel lanes were narrowed to add a bicycle lane.” @davidzipper.bsky.social

Screen shot showing my question. Screen shot showing the answer. Another screen shot of the answer.

This is priceless. Check out how local news is reporting on Sen Eric Schmidt’s clown-show grilling of Jack Smith. They found Jack Smith at the game… “Top corner, section 109, row 1. In fact, that seat doesn’t even exist in Atlanta.”

Idaho is a pathetic Christo-fascist state. These troglodytes have the state’s approval to let their kids die, but parents of transgender kids cannot provide them evidence-based care. 🖕🏼you Idaho legislature and spineless Brad.

Between 2015 and 2025, at least 15 children in an Idaho faith-healing sect died of treatable conditions. State law allows that to happen: Parents who say their faith prohibits giving their children lifesaving medical care can’t be prosecuted.

Fox News hosts spend their day telling their audience that Democrats are communists and communists are evil people, then in the evening they all got dressed up to attend a state dinner honoring a communist.

Every argument used against Trans kids in sports is a better argument against tackle football. Kids don't know / can't consent to the lifelong mental health risks and irreversible physical changes. Peer pressure to do it. Adults with financial stake in the decision. A culture that promotes it.

The president of the White House Correspondents’ Association is Fox News’ Jacqui Heinrich. She’s married to a Republican congressman, Brian Fitzpatrick. Expecting the WHCA to forcefully fight Trump’s ban on CNN, MSNOW and Politico is like expecting your goldfish to cook your dinner.

Hard to take electoral advice from party leaders that lost to a completely unqualified guy who said "grab em the pussy", "Mexicans are rapists", mocked a disabled guy, demeaned veterans, bankrupted casinos, and had a lifelong rep as guy who stiffs contractors and rapes teenagers, who then... 👇🏻
