I spoke to a sold out event in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho…a beautiful city in northern Idaho.
It’s important to remind Dems and Independents in these difficult spaces that they are the majority. Idaho isn’t red. Idaho is uncontested.
Sure would be cool if maybe the Idaho Democratic Party would help support candidates in the five northern counties, where extremists are handing us our asses. The candidates did their part by standing up to run, they deserve support.
Idaho disbanded the maternal death review committee. Things are not going well…
Mortality rate for mothers rose 121.5%
1 in 5 didn’t receive 1st trimester prenatal care
Tomorrow’s outfit choices narrowed to:
Y’all Motherfuckers Need Science
Vasectomies Prevent Abortions
Abort the Patriarchy
Divorce your Republican Husband
Gonna be a hell of a caucus!
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?

Good news- federal review is over
Bad news- it almost killed me
Good news- I was offered an amazing job
Bad news- it’s in Spokane
Good news- it’s hybrid work from home
Bad news- it’s about $15k less a year than I’m willing to take
Good news- it’s still more than what I make now
Most children who are losing access to Medicaid or CHIP live in nine states, new data shows.
Idaho is one of those states. It tied for the highest rate of decline in children's coverage, with over 50,000 children removed.
Students who signed up to testify against a law that would ban gun free zones at Idaho schools were not allowed to speak. But an NRA lobbyist was twice allowed to speak in favor of this harmful bill. H415 passed on party lines & against the majority of public testimony.

Having fearless female legislators like Ilana Rubel and Melissa Wintrow for Idaho gives me hope, so grateful for the leadership & example they set!

We’ve collected signatures for the Open Primaries Initiative in all 44 counties, and voters everywhere want the same thing: An election system that gives all voters—including independents—a real voice in our elections.

Do you love snow? And moose? And dumb motherfuckers from the northern part of the country who insist on flying the confederate flag? Let’s house swap for 4-5 days because I need a fucking break from here.
What kind of ignorant and entitled fuck thinks human rights and genocide are simply issues we can disagree on? Fuck the IDP- I’ve decided I won’t be attending the gala.
I don’t give a fuck if your favorite restaurant is closed today, and the kids eat free, and they have dollaritas, and half priced apps- do not go to Applebees.
But, please tell me again, Idaho, how we need to save our children from the disastrous harms of well funded public education, public libraries, and drag queens.
While we recognize religious freedom as a fundamental American—and deeply Idahoan—value, our religious liberties do not grant a right to discriminate based on a person's sex, gender, or gender expression.

For those of you who don't know, our despicable AG Raul Labrador just told Idaho legislators and prosecutors to start jailing doctors for providing INFORMATION on how to obtain an abortion across state lines.

I thought legislation and control didn’t work, or is that only for guns?
How about decriminalizing harm reduction strategies, like legalizing fentanyl test strips?
Today's editorial from the CDA Press:
"Idaho’s 270,000 independent voters...cannot participate in Republican primaries. As a result, extreme candidates favored by the extremists in power have a tremendous advantage..."

My best friend just texted me, “Oh! Also I gotta be very honest with you. I don’t understand what antifa is.”
After explaining it, she said, “Ohhhhhh. I remember that. Very nice. I love not nazis.”
Do you know how many people, children especially, have been affected by the horrific superfund site that is the Silver Valley, Jim?! These families are STILL testing high and the effects will be felt for decades!
It is time for America to see the power of the US mining industry, invest in it, & secure our supply chain. To ensure not just economic success but also national security, Congress must revamp our mining laws & substantially reduce irrelevant regulations.
Adam is simmering the chicken, making pico from scratch, prepping the beans, cleaning the bbq for the carne asada and I’m eating said pico and looking cute. It’s a balance.

25 years ago we were shunning the extremists/Aryan Nations. They were here, but far less welcomed. Now we’re recruiting them. And electing them.
