There is no honor in lies. There is no honor in liars. And Idaho’s liars have profited off their dishonor too long. That’s why I think Idaho should give a big “thank you” to Eric Posey of Post Falls for standing up to one of Idaho’s far-right lies. Last week, an Idaho...

Gov. Brad Little is confronted with an easy decision: veto the Legislature’s attack on librarians, or let it become law. It should be super easy for him to veto this $250 bounty on librarians: 1) it is the right thing to do; 2) it is also the popular thing to do....

Super Bowl Sunday gave me an idea about how to put more eyes on Idaho’s Legislature: let’s start really marketing the meaningless drama! I admit it. I enjoyed the Super Bowl’s spicy pre-game storyline about the romance between Taylor Swift and Kansas City tight-end...

Gov. Brad Little is so scared of his enemies that he can’t tell right from wrong. This time, he is wrong about sending Idaho State Troopers and money to Texas. Why is that wrong? It’s expensive. It’s dangerous. It’s a crass political pantomime that attacks our...
