Women will be left to die on hospital beds.
At the cannabis dispensary in Ontario Oregon and every car in the parking lot has an Idaho license plate. Idaho dollars paying for Oregon’s roads and teachers. Another missed opportunity brought to you by the Idaho GOP
Today we were paddling down the river and this woman goes where are you from and I said oh we just moved here. She says “well are you conservative at least” and Vlad from about 500 feet away screams “WE’RE GAY, SO NO”. Sometimes he knows just what to say.

This guys one of the Idaho State Senators (truly any nobody can be one nowadays I guess) who voted for this bill. Donate to the

🚨Breaking🚨 Idaho State Affairs Committee Chair Brent Crane (R-Nampa) says that they will hear legislation in the wake of the overturning of Roe to BAN IUD’s and other forms of birth control.

The same Idaho Republicans who believe in forcing women to have children just voted down a $545,000 grant for summer food aid for hungry kids.
Cindy Carlson (R) was concerned that it didn't require the kids to work.
What in the hell is wrong with these people?
Its official! The
@IdahoDems
have filed in every single district across Idaho. From Bonners Ferry to Bear Lake and everywhere in between the Idaho Dems will be competing for your vote.
Idaho's GOP legislators just turned down 36 million dollars in federal funds for childcare for working families. Now, thousands of families will no longer be able to access childcare at all - especially in rural areas.
Looking at results from Idaho’s Election last night and its clear that the GOP’s war against libraries and the freedom to read backfired big time last night. Almost all of the pro-library candidates won in the major races that pitted them against book banners. Let's take a look:

@MicronTech
is a true homegrown Idaho success story. In Idaho, we are proud that years of fiscal conservatism and key investments have made our state a great place to do business.
Happy 4/20. I really wish all the Idaho dollars paying for Montana, Washington, Oregon, and Nevada's roads and teachers today was invested here instead. Thanks Idaho GOP.
Just heard in the oral arguments at SCOTUS today that every other week a pregnant woman is life flighted out of Idaho because of our complete abortion ban.
Idaho is not a safe place for pregnant woman.
Republican politicians are why.
Hey Boise - there is a REALLY important election on September 6th for the Boise school board. It has recently come to our attention some far right candidates are planning to try to take over our school board. Read more below for how you can vote in this election and fight back
In August, Democrats in Idaho outpaced Republicans in terms of absentee ballot requests for the first time this year by almost 2-1 margin. This is huge. Help keep the momentum up by requesting your absentee ballot today here:
This exchange happened on the same day here in Idaho between the GOP legislative leaders who passed this law and Dem Party Chair and legislator
@NecocheaforID
. Watch:
I spoke in Idaho two weeks ago and reminded those in attendance that Idaho is not a red state, but an uncontested state. I got a text from their Democratic committee chair: three folks have signed up to run in previously uncontested seats.
We can do this!
#NoSeatUncontested
We are now in the third week of the
#idleg
session and all we've seen are anti-gay marriage, anti-choice, and anti-public education bills. Nothing from the GOP to repeal the grocery tax, implement property tax fairness, or pay our teachers more.
If you rent in Boise, Idaho Republicans just made your next apartment search more costly and even legalized fraud (ie collecting an application fee from you even if the apartment isn’t available..).
Do Idaho Republicans do anything but punch down?
Please like and share this tweet. We need to sound the alarm. Rush a donation to the Idaho Dems so we can get this info out and fight back against this
This property tax fiasco in the
#idleg
is infuriating. Why are they rushing this in the final days of the session? They had three months to get this right and instead they spent their time going after libraries, women, and trans kids.
You cannot make this stuff up. The "Idaho Freedom Foundation" took a $130k PPP loan - since forgiven - from the federal government. Then they lobbied against any assistance to actual working families during the pandemic. Grifters gonna grift
I’m so proud that the candidates who have stepped up to run this year in Idaho are getting noticed by the national press. Idaho isn’t red - it’s been uncontested and this year we change that.
One thing to remember in this Idaho voucher fight - vouchers are *incredibly* unpopular in Idaho. 63% of voters are opposed and only 23% support. Vouchers are unpopular with majorities of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. We can win this fight. Stop the voucher vultures.
Check out what the Idaho GOP has been calling

Idaho GOP representative Jack Nelson compares women to cows during conversation about reproductive rights. He won his seat by 84 votes against a Democrat. We will make sure that doesn't happen again
The thing the Idaho Legislature is working on today is repealing a ban on private militias and a 6 week abortion ban. Its almost as if they don't care about our actual problems...🤔
To anyone who thinks they are not smart enough or capable enough to run for office - this is why Rep. Heather Scott is sponsoring a bill to expand Idaho's cannibalism ban.
Trust me - you're qualified. DM me to learn where to start.

Idaho has a trigger law meaning as soon as SCOTUS releases this opinion the rights on women in Idaho will be rolled back 50 years immediately. The Idaho Democratic Party is the only party in Idaho that is committed to defending a woman's right to choose.
Here's the part of Little's proposal that we need to talk about:
$250 million to reduce the highest income tax bracket for individuals and corporations from 6.5% to 6%.
Idaho should not line the pockets of the wealthy after short changing schools and communities for decades
This is the vice chair of the Ada County Republicans. This is also the same guy who flew a banner over Pride this year saying “Repent. The rainbow belongs to God”.
The Republican Party of Idaho has turned into a hate group.
After watching what happened at the Caldwell School Board meeting I requested my absentee ballot for all Idaho Elections this year. The extremists are coming for our schools and our LGBTQ kids. Request yours now and don't miss a single election this year!
Absentee ballots are arriving Idaho! One question you'll see on your ballot is a vote to allow the Idaho legislature to call itself into special session any time, for any reason
The Idaho Democratic Party strongly recommends voting AGAINST this change to the state constitution.
The extremist Idaho GOP continues their bullying of trans kids here in Idaho. Shame on Rep. Chris Trakel for being a great example of what is wrong in the world. We will fight back.
Its voter suppression week at the Idaho Capitol! HB 549, sponsored by Rep. Moon, would make elections in Idaho unrecognizable. Why is this needed you ask? Good question. It's not. Rep. Moon cannot point out one instance of fraud in Idaho. Lets look at what this bill would do:
Did an interview on the importance of Pride today and how the
@IdahoDems
will never stop fighting until all LGBTQ Idahoans can live authentically and free from discrimination.
ID Senate passed on party lines (H124) to outlaw use of a Student ID for voting. Laws communicate values & eliminating student IDs sends a poor message to students that they aren’t valued in the Dem process. Why is the GOP fixated on making it harder to vote? What is the fear?
🚨BREAKING🚨: President Biden has announced a $583,256,249 grant for high speed internet in Idaho!! More than half a BILLION dollars will be a game changer for homes and businesses across Idaho, especially rural idaho.

Idaho 2nd on this list and as someone who’s been out knocking doors recently - this makes perfect sense. You can almost feel the ground shifting here. Women are furious and they know exactly who did this to them.
Here are the states with the biggest gender gap among new registrants since the Dobbs decision was handed down. This isn't just a blue state phenomena. In fact, it is more pronounced in states where choice is more at risk, or has been eliminated by the decision.

@GregAbbott_TX
If you can just ignore Supreme Court rulings then every abortion clinic in Texas and Idaho should be reopened immediately
The

just voted against providing menstrual products for girls in schools. Republicans called the policy “woke” and “very liberal”. What a bunch of idiots.
Just dropped a couple hundreds dollars on this weeks insulin. I really hope my Senators

and
@SenatorRisch
will vote next week to cap out of pocket insulin costs to 35 dollars a month.

Raul Labrador argued that it is a crime for a doctor to refer a patient to another state for reproductive care. He wants to control even the conversation you can have with your doctor. Thankfully, he lost. A big win for Idaho and the First Amendment.
Every gay man who is alive today because of the women who had our backs at every turn needs to be ready to fight this fight with every dollar and ounce of energy we have.
Idaho Republicans believe they have to protect you from books and librarians, but that poison sprayed on you by a multi-billion dollar corporation? Tough cookies.
Got 10 petition signatures knocking in Nampa today for
@reclaimID
education initiative! Everyone agreed. Time for the rich to pay their fair share and for Idaho to not be last in the nation in education funding!
Today, Senate Republicans introduced a bill to ban abortion nationally. Both of Idaho's Senators, Risch and Crapo, are signed on as co-sponsors. We cannot let the GOP regain control of Congress this November.
Request your vote by mail ballot here now:
They just killed a bill that would have allowed doctors to remove a dead fetus from a woman’s body or end a deadly ectopic pregnancy. Some “culture of life”. Psychopaths.
National news outlets have recently taken an interest in Idaho’s prohibition on elective abortions. It’s not surprising, but it is further proof that the radicalization of our state is being coordinated by far-away organizations and out-of-state money.
Let me be clear. The
@IdahoDems
are PROUD sponsors of
@boisepride
. These ridiculous lies only serve as an important reminder why more than ever it’s critical to stand proud with the Idaho LGBTQ community. We have your backs.
This is a direct result of President Biden's CHIPS and Science Act and will result in over 15,000 total new jobs here in the Treasure Valley. Incredible news for Boise. Thanks President Biden!
This is ridiculous. Idaho kids who rely on free/reduced lunches will go hungry this summer because Republican politicians didn't do their jobs.
Meanwhile, in Democratic controlled states like Michigan and Minnesota school kids now get lunches for free.
Spending the morning today in Nampa where the
@IdahoDems
are hosting classes on the US citizenship exam for members of our immigrant community. This is one the coolest things we’ve ever done and I’m so proud of it!
Watching Sen. Tammy Nichols try to answer basic questions about the bill she is sponsoring makes it embarrassingly clear that she has no idea what this bill will do to Idaho and she is pushing this for outside special interests.
What the Idaho GOP is doing to NIC they will do to your local school board, your local library, your local hospital. Fight back and run for office. Want to find out more about what that takes? Email me jared

A huge thank you to everyone who voted to keep our libraries open, welcoming, and free to all Idahoans. A big thank you to the Idaho Dem chapters who endorsed, many for the first time ever, and worked hard to get pro-library candidates across the line.
Rural communities are often held together by the local schools activities. It's the Friday night football game where everyone see's each other. If Idaho allows vouchers to go through its going to be the football team, the band, the activity bus, that are first to go.
We haven’t even begun to see the how intense the backlash to these abortion laws is going to be yet. Wait till women can’t even deliver babies in Idaho anymore and the police are investigating miscarriages.
BREAKING: Idaho’s Bonner General Health, the only hospital in Sandpoint, announced today it will no longer provide obstetrical services to the city of more than 9,000 people, meaning patients will have to drive 46 miles to deliver babies moving forward.
What do these legislators propose these people do to get to work? How about all the childcare workers who will lose their job or see their pay cut. These workers make on average between 10-12 dollars an hr. This is another attack on the working poor by the GOP.
First, in Meridian we had
@Hart4Mld
running against a book banner candidate who actually signed the petition to DISSOLVE the Meridian library all together. Not only did Destinie win in a landslide she won every single precinct in the district.
The Build Back Better bill now includes a provision so diabetics like me won’t pay more than $35 a month for insulin. This is a game changer. This will save lives. I feel so relieved.
Idaho House kills a bill that would have eliminated registered voters' ability to sign an affidavit to verify their identity and vote in Idaho elections.

We must stop 🔥THE WOKE CULT🔥 from taking Idaho!
Neo-liberalism is a

The thing about these municipal and school board races happening across the country on Nov 2nd is with a handful of votes we can stop the careers of the next Janice McGeachin, Marjorie Taylor Greene, or Ted Cruz. Everyone starts somewhere. Get out and vote.
Not sure what she's smiling about. This voucher bill will cost her local school district $451,000 in Custer Co. Thats the pay for more than 10 teachers.

See what this bill will cost your schools district here:
The entire platform of the Idaho GOP can be summed up in Maria’s tweet here. “Lock up the doctors and the parents”.
Government so small it’ll imprison your family if you live differently than Maria wants.
This is child abuse. Lock-up the doctors … and the parents.
“And she worries, a little, about never having a baby – but says her plans to be a famous actress won’t allow time to be a mom anyway.”
#TransCult
One tough spot in the night in Kootenai County where the two pro-library candidates lost - continuing Kootenai County's descent into Brent Regans right wing dystopia. We aren’t giving up tho and will keep up the fight.
While our neighboring states are increasing teacher salaries and improving infrastructure with tax money from marijuana, Idaho Republicans want to fine and jail you for what's legal in 40 other states.
This is so mind numbingly dumb. So every student will have to have their parent sign a permission slip stating their pronouns? Does Ted Hill understand that everyone uses pronouns?
Another invented problem instead of dealing with Idaho's actual problems.
The
@IdahoDems
statement on the new GOP site ranking members of the Idaho Legislature for their adherence to the most radical, hateful, party platform in the country.
Dems understand we answer to the voters - not party bosses.
As the
#idleg
winds down and we still don't have any meaningful property tax reform I'm reminded of something else we aren't getting - a repeal of the grocery tax. 82% of Idaho voters are in favor of repealing the tax on groceries. Idaho Dems have pushed this for two years.
Poor Scott. The pro-library candidate won with 59% of the vote even despite disgusting last minute attacks about drag queen story hour 🙄. His candidate for the hospital board came in dead last.
Voters have recalled West Bonner County trustees Keith Rutledge and Susan Brown. With all five precincts reporting, in Zone 4 the vote was 745 votes in favor of the recall to 450 votes against. In Zone 2, there were 613 votes for the recall to 51 against it.
My name is Loree Peery, and I'm running for Idaho State Representative in District 2A
I'm a mother, a wife, and a retired RN - I can't keep sitting on the sidelines while our legislature fixates on culture wars and cannibalism. Will you help us?
