I’m a journalist. I’m also an Idahoan. A couple weeks ago, I stood outside my child’s school, chatting with the school nurse. As we talked, my phone buzzed. It was a call from the person behind Idaho's new law — one that limits how a school nurse can respond if measles arrives.
My State Banned Vaccine Mandates. Here’s How I Covered It as an Idaho Journalist.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

This is obsurd.
A self professed Christian Nationalist in charge of our military forcing our troops, built on diversity, to pray for a man who openly fed into the oppression of POC, women, LGBTQ+, “other” religions and pushed white supremacy beliefs is insane.

Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
