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

So Trump is just going to put farmers out of business and give them corporate welfare?

While sending $20 billion to Argentina?

This is the Golden Age?

We can’t support our farmers. We can’t provide medical insurance subsidies or fund education properly but we can bail out a country with a lunatic leader? Seems legit.

We did the math, and Sen. Risch has officially sold out Idaho families for his billionaire friends. Senator Risch voted to drastically raise healthcare premiums for Idahoans.

This is a pretty great 🧵 that captures my SCOTUS thoughts pretty darn well & expresses them far better than I ever could.

Mark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 20h

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.

Dems are advancing a winning populist issue and they either aren't campaigning on it or they aren't getting traction in the new balkanized media. Either way, they need to unfuck it. Good on Idaho Ds for this.
