Another reason to stop accelerating subsidies directly to health insurance companies. These subsidies raise federal deficits and interest payments in addition to making health care less affordable.

The National Republican Senatorial Committee has requested an investigation into former Democratic state representative Todd Achilles, running an independent campaign for US Senate against Sen. Jim Risch:

Our forests have outgrown small management projects and the weaponization of litigation to stop needed projects. Expanding the size and length of stewardship contracts and increasing the ease with which projects can be approved are needed steps. mountainstatespolicy.org/fix-our-forest…

Nuclear energy is America’s creation and vital to powering our future. I am proud to designate today as World Nuclear Energy Day and celebrate America and Idaho’s advancements in the industry. risch.senate.gov/public/index.c…

It’s literally *THREE* forms that every Senate candidate nationwide fills out, but that’s beyond Todd Achilles’ capabilities?? Equally disqualifying, honestly…

Our op-ed in Idaho Capital Sun - Fix Our Forests Act may be enough to fix our public lands management backlog idahocapitalsun.com/2025/12/04/fix…

There are a lot of bad policies that would change if enough people paid attention. State taxpayers spend billions every year on ineffective economic development programs generate more press releases than results.

It is unthinkable that Democrats would stall a bill to prevent Idaho tax dollars from funding the Taliban. This isn’t over, and I will work to move this important legislation as quickly as possible.

Looks like the Senate Republicans just raised some serious questions about Achilles for Idaho | U.S. Senate 2026 and his decision to skip filing the required personal financial disclosure for his U.S. Senate run. Federal law gives candidates 30 days to file after entering a race. According to the documents,

Great news. All 8a companies, which get special preferences from federal agencies, got their status because of race. That ended in 2023 but the Biden Admin tried a sneaky work-around. SBA is now doing the right thing & making sure race isn't being used.

The lower Snake River dams are a critical source of reliable and affordable energy for the Gem State. I have committed to keeping these dams intact, and it is great to see Secretary Chris Wright do the same!
