Skeptic. In my previous life I was an Idaho Statesman investigative reporter (Idaho Press Club reporter of the year 2017, 2008). Now I am merely a spectator.

All-female crew at Ansots Basque Chorizos today! Bri, Maren and Grace ran front of house. Ellie, Tracy and I ran back of house. Smooth and easy all day. Listened to the Rat Pack and Bad Bunny for good vibes. #noboysallowed #dreamteam

Congrats to Elon Musk! I can only assume this $400 million contract was won entirely on merit, since we live in a merit-based society now #MAGA!!

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity.

He just resigned.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner & Chair of @FEC. There’s a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn’t it. I’ve been lucky to serve the American people & stir up some good trouble along the way. That’s not changing anytime soon.

Despicable. As families grieve, Trump should be leading, not lying. We put safety first, drove down close calls, grew Air Traffic Control, and had zero commercial airline crash fatalities out of millions of flights on our watch.
President Trump now oversees the military and the FAA. One of his first acts was to fire and suspend some of the key personnel who helped keep our skies safe. Time for the President to show actual leadership and explain what he will do to prevent this from happening again.

Matt Gaetz would be the first Attorney General to need a pardon from the President before taking office.

[Sisyphus Idaho @Sisyphus43]

Simpson really hates that mf. Didn't Simpson take Gaetz' attempt to become Speaker to the mat (so to speak)?

A longtime producer for Tucker Carlson is out of a job after being deemed responsible for the onscreen message this week that referred to President Joe Biden as a "wannabe dictator." https://t.co/hLINuyyvul

"We can never normalize the ending of democracy." @Justinjpearson on being expelled from office

[Cynthia Sewell @CynthiaSewell]

@ElieNYC Unfu**ing believable. But yet not really, because racists are, if nothing else, consistent in their hatred.

Dan and Ellie are a tour-de-force. Together they have created something that is more than a restaurant. It is a vibrant hub steeped in Basque culture and a love of food and people. I am forever grateful to them for letting me work at Ansots and to be a part of this magical place

[CBS Saturday Morning @cbssaturday]

Dan Ansotegui is a James Beard nominee who's owned multiple restaurants in Boise, Idaho. His latest, @AnsotsBoise, has become a sit-down dining destination, bringing an authentic taste of the Basque country to the American West.

This is a hard one. He was one of the most authentic and magnetizing artists to grace the country music art form in the modern era.

Luke Bell has died at 32.

In making this decision, I sat down with an open mind and asked myself how much I have benefitted culturally from Neil Young vs. Joe Rogan.

@ClueHeywood @LeapDay_William We are hard-core Rosa’s fans. Rosa’s salsa is medicinal, carne seca phenomenal, green corn tamales heavenly. In just 8 weeks we point our trusty Jeep south for annual pilgrimage from Boise to Tucson for all things Rosa’s and more.

[Cynthia Sewell @CynthiaSewell]

@ClueHeywood @LeapDay_William Pray tell you are talking about Rosa’s!
