Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. www.dailymail.com/news/article... "Ukraine's success at targeting the [oil] industry in Russia has caused a crisis for Putin, but the nation does still have surplus diesel it can spare." And this president looks to "deal." Not OK.

Trump made diesel deal with Putin 'after Zelensky ignored US requests'

The diesel pact between Mr Trump and Mr Putin stunned Kyiv, with the Ukrainian leader accusing the US president of 'weakness' in caving in to Mr Putin.

What does Trump and his handlers mean by the terminology "cut red tape"? Seems to mean "screw the People" and destroy essential natural resources. Kill the environment. Kill public education. Yes, this crisis "we" are all in it together. #EPluribusUnum And we're being fleeced.

Add Karen Smith to my list of badasses whose mouthy approach I respect. Actions usually speak louder than words. This is a hero, Y'all. Well done, Ma'am. You're gonna kick ass in your new position. ✊📖

We actually don't hate this administration enough

It'll take more people showing up to candidate forums just like they have the protests. Only difference is it may give more people the encouragement to DO more. #Idaho idahocapitalsun.com/2026/09/28/l...

Today at We Are Idaho Meet the Candidates, I talked with teachers, young voters & students about Idaho's affordability crisis, immigration reform, and protecting our public lands. Conversations like these are why I'm running — Idaho deserves a senator who shows up and listens.

Funny how one incident can lead to another. A friend was posting about a slippery slope & it triggered my memory of this. "Education content should not be subjected to our politicized lawmaking process." thecrucialvoice.com/2017/07/11/t... It was science in 2018; it's the content of the Bible now.

I love PBS! 👏👏👏💙

A huge thank you to CNN, MS NOW, Politico, ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, Fox News, PBS News, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, HuffPost, the Associated Press, Reuters, Getty Images, and AFP for standing together in defense of a free press.

They all knew ahead of time who he is...

Having lived through those years, I remember the fear many reporters faced but carried on despite all. Thank you.

I'm with Nils here and I have no idea who this person is but I have long been watching what this presidents ventures into crypto and other escapades were doing to the dollar. 😡

Ignoring the fact this is obvious bullshit (as opposed to a lie), if implemented this would instantly grow the 2027 federal deficit from a projected $2.1 trillion (already a great job, MAGA!) to $3.5 trillion. Which, if you were trying to destroy the dollar, would be a great idea. (Oh, wait....)

#LaborDay2026 I never had the type of job where I was presented with the choice to join a union. But that hasn't stopped me from sincerely appreciating the efforts of union members. I support all the efforts of those still struggling to keep this country #UnionStrong ❤️🤍💙 #InSolidarity ✊

I can't believe Zabel hasn't withdrawn her name from the District 1 race. #Idaho #IdPol A three way race favors a Republican win — I've never seen an exception. Today is the last day to withdrawal. Maybe it will still happen. Country above self? ... This would be the time to prove that.
