Idaho Senator Jim Risch is the chair of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and 3rd most important foreign affairs leader after the President and Sec. of State, but he remains silent as the U.S. deploys a massive military force toward Venezuela.

Idaho deserves a leader who answers to working families, not corporate PACs, political parties, or career politicians. Costs are up, wages are stuck, and D.C. elites say "everything's fine" while playing by rules written by their billionaire buddies.

Pete Hegseth deliberately distorts Sen. Mark Kelly’s words and creates a needlessly dangerous situation. Hegseth’s reckless conduct is unconstitutional.
No one leading the world’s most powerful military should speak this irresponsibly.

Idaho deserves better than a Congress run by corrupt career politicians. If you’re tired of wages that don’t keep up and leaders that don’t show up, you’ve got an alternative on the ballot in 2026: Todd Achilles, Independent for U.S. Senate.

Sen. Risch NEVER misses a high-dollar D.C. dinner, yet the moment Idaho constituents ask for a meeting? Suddenly, he’s booked solid.

The House just voted overwhelmingly to release the Epstein files. This is a hard fought and long awaited win for the victims and an important step toward healing and accountability.

It's time for term limits.
Career politicians are more corrupt and less interested in what their voters need.
I've taken the pledge to support a Constitutional amendment for term limits and commit to serve no more than 2 terms as Idaho's US senator

Are we going to have any hearings on this @SenatorRisch ?
The Executive branch is pushing us toward war in Venezuela. You’re chair of Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Where the hell are you?
The Founders were clear on your Constitutional duty and it’s not stay silent

It’s been 6,160 days, or nearly 17 years, since Senator Risch has held a real, public, in person town hall. We don’t count any of the heavily-screened telephone town-halls we’ve spooked him into hosting, where he doesn’t have to face the very people he’s “represented” for almost two decades.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The government is opening soon: no more excuses. Release ALL of the Epstein Files!
We demand justice for the young girls abused by Epstein and his powerful friends. Nobody gets a pass; that is how justice should work in America.

Happy Veterans Day
Gathering with fellow vets at the USS Boise memorial to honor the 107 killed at the Battle of Cape Esperance near Guadalcanal, Oct 11-12, 1942. The Boise would sink 6 Japanese ships before a shell nearly sank her. 12% of the Boise’s crew died in that fight

This Veterans Day, I want to honor seven sons of Nezperce who gave everything for our country in World War II. These brave men served until their last breath and define the very best of America. I learned their stories during my SUTS tour at the BRYC Post #8 American Legion.

This was my first unit—2nd Platoon, Bravo Company, 3/69 Armor—training with the Kuwaiti Army in 1992
We came from every corner of this great nation: from Maine to California, Washington to Puerto Rico. No one asked about politics, it didn’t matter
What mattered was the flag on our shoulder

Thanks POTUS!
Antimonopoly action against the Big 4 meatpackers is long overdue. There is clear evidence they collude to push down prices on Idaho ranchers and raise prices on consumers - keeping all the profit for themselves.

In one vote on July 7th, Senator Risch gave Google, the most profitable corporation in our country, a $13B tax cut, while at the same time eliminating the tax credit for working Idahoans to afford health care and now premiums have skyrocketed making health care unaffordable for Idahoans.

Outstanding veterans day event at Idaho @farmbureau in Pocatello.
Great to hang out with fellow vets like Jim (23 years Navy seabee), Dave (4 years Navy), George (21 years USAF), Duff (4 years USAF), and Mike (23 years Army)

What do these two politicians have in common?
They are both 82
They were both first elected in 1970
They both have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars.

Idaho deserves a robust leader who is up for the job. Senator Risch shouldn’t be afraid of
that kind of work, but at 82 years old and with nearly 50 years in elected office, he doesn’t want to listen to Idahoans. #retirerisch

Why didn’t Sen. Risch, chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, know more about the details of the new Qatari facility at Mountain Home Air Force Base? He’s held or been part of countless meetings with Qatari officials since 2018.

After more than a decade "representing" Idaho in the U.S. Senate, Jim Risch remains largely unknown to the people he serves. Recent polls reveal both deep dissatisfaction with leadership and a startling lack of recognition.
