@PaulJKBOI Off-topic but, with the breeders cup happening today, I can’t help but think of my countless summers hanging out at Les Bois Park, reading the racing form, and listening to Paul J call the races “It’s Idaho Lea out in front!” I miss those times but thanks for the memories! 🥲
My statement in response to Governor Little directing agencies, including the Idaho Department of Education, State Board of Education, and colleges and universities to prepare for cuts.
I think today was an inflection point - maybe small, but real.
The President, having launched a global trade war, feted in the Oval Office a Central American dictator who runs a mega-prison known for starvation and torture - a prison to which our government has, by its own admission, sent at least one person "in error."
They disappeared a man without a single criminal charge who's lived and worked here for 15 years - who was alleged to be a member of a gang based in a state he never lived by one anonymous informant. No other evidence. No trial. No conviction. Nothing but a legal order that he not be deported to El Salvador, where he's now serving a life sentence.
The Supreme Court just ruled, without any noted dissent, that the government must facilitate the man's release.
But Trump and his dictator friend said no. They laughed. They mocked the journalist who asked whether they'd abide by the Court's order. The Attorney General, the Secretary of State, and the White House Deputy Chief all lied about the facts of the case. Then the President repeated his proposal to send American citizens to the dictator's prison, and asked him to build five more.
The same day we found out that the government knowingly disappeared a PhD student for nothing but an op-ed, a man's 19-year old son who agents admitted was the wrong kid, and a visa-holding Russian scientist at Harvard who forgot to declare frog embryos at the border.
But: it's all breaking through. It's getting more coverage. More people are paying attention. More elected Democrats are speaking up. More conservative pundits and legal scholars are speaking up. Even Joe Rogan thinks it's bullshit.
Now we have to keep pushing. This is much bigger than immigration or deportation policy - this is about whether we live in a free country or a police state. It's the whole ballgame.
Instead of standing up for Idaho values, Brad Little is in D.C. celebrating Donald Trump and the corrupt billionaire he put in charge of dismantling public education. Here is our statement:
@BJRains@BNNBroncoNation Why do you think Peanut goes for 21 points the previous game and then only plays 11 minutes against UNR. This type of thing happens SO often!
