At this moment, anyone who tries to convince you that it’s a good time for any kind of violence is just wrong. There is nothing Steven Miller would like more than us being violent right now.

Either elections still matter and we've got about a year of Trump steadily making himself more and more hated before a Dem wave causes a deadlock between Congress and the WH, or they don't and we're in the long game. Either way, undermining their popular legitimacy is step 1.

Fiscal conservatism means cutting vital services so that you can cut taxes for rich people by a billion dollars over a few years and half a billion dollars in one year. #idpol #idleg #idgop #idahogop #Idaho

or we could just move to proportional representation, make one statewide multimember district for Utah, and stop all this goddamn endless litigation.

Red state government declaring open war on blue city governments in Florida.

This is the MAGA model: using every tool of the state to punish political opponents, without even a pretense that you are governing "for everyone."

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

Both parts of his story are evil. Pure evil.

I am struck by how lack of standing seems to so frequently evade court challenge to unconstitutional government actions.

It's an odd thing missing, given that this problem was solved in ancient Athens: for certain matters the entire citizen body ('ho boulomenos,' 'whoever wishes') had standing.

“We can give $20 billion to Argentina but we can’t afford the CDC’s measles experts” is a hell of an argument

I love guys who are just blithely confident in their ignorance, they read like one statement on a tankie forum four years ago and now they think they know everything about one of the most involved conflicts in human history.

I find it frustrating because liberals used to be evidence and fact-based and now we don’t know how to critically look at information either.

I wouldn’t have pegged Mountain Home as the issue that would be the latest reason I want to leave social media. But here we are.

Hegseth sucks. The Qataris suck. But we aren’t giving Qatar an airbase in Idaho. It’s building dorms etc. at an existing base to train them on F-15s we sold them, just like Singapore already has there. Common arrangement we have with lots of countries. This one was already being planned under Biden.

We live in a country where the government honors insurrectionists who sacked the Capitol, and defines peaceful protest, even before it occurs, to be terrorism.
They know their position is weak, they know they are unpopular, which is why they are seeking to stamp out dissent.

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

It never was. They only ever believed in whatever increased their own power and privilege at any particular moment.

Sure, Mike 🥴

Idaho’s “modern” GOP has binders full of unhinged pet projects they are excited to unleash on those of us with connected brain cells.

While leaving untouched the unconscionable “unintended consequences” from the last few sessions 😒

The way you know that Labrador is full of crap is that he would be outraged if the Oregon National Guard was deployed to Idaho without the permission of Gov. Little. These people are beneath contempt and they are betraying their oaths to the US Constitution and tearing the country apart. #idpol

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

It's one thing to be politically divided into red states and blue states. We are now being militarily divided into red states and blue states. It's crossing the Rubicon, a bright-red flashing warning that the constitutional order is coming unglued, in a way that will have monumental consequences. /x

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.
