It's not getting "better" for our troops. As Chuck Schumer gets more comfortable playing political games and appealing to the far-left, military families are paying the price.

After being taken a prisoner of war in 1944 and buried as an unidentified solider in Hawaii, Lt. Atteberry’s remains have returned to the Gem State. Thank you to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) for their work bringing this war hero home to rest. Welcome home, 2nd Lieutenant Charles S. Atteberry.

This year’s NDAA ensures our military remains mission-ready, can protect and defend our nation, and provides servicemembers with a well-deserved pay raise – if only Democrats would end this government shutdown. This legislation prioritizes recruitment of the best candidates to

From the wheat fields on the Palouse to Bingham County potatoes, the Gem State is full of hardworking farmers who fuel our economy and feed Idahoans. Today, we celebrate their invaluable contributions to Idaho and the world!

Today would have been Charlie Kirk’s 32nd birthday. He was a great leader for the next generation and all Americans. Today, we remember his life, pray for Erika and the Kirk family as they continue to grieve this profound loss, and honor his death by standing for truth over hate.

Thanks to President Trump, lethal drugs are now at the bottom of the ocean and no longer on route to endanger thousands of Americans. Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for keeping our communities safe!

Vicki and I join many Idahoans in praying for President Dallin Oaks as he begins his calling as the 18th President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. May his leadership, hope, and wisdom guide the Church for years to come.

Idaho’s law protects women’s sports and ought to be upheld. Last month I submitted an Amicus Brief to the Supreme Court in support of Idaho’s law and I will continue to stand up for the rights of our daughters and granddaughters to fair competition. foxnews.com/sports/federal…

As Democrats continue to pander to their far-Left base, our troops, law enforcement, families, and federal workers are hanging on by a thread and wondering how they’ll afford groceries next week. Let’s open the government and stop this nonsense.

Schumer said, “every day gets better for us.” Well, who is us? It isn’t the working people. It isn’t the single moms that have to feed their kids. It’s the Democrats, and it is just flat wrong.

Senate Democrats are continuing to leave Americans in the dust to cater to the most extreme members of their party. The government can reopen in minutes, all it takes is 5 more Democrat votes.

Not only are Democrats refusing to reopen the government, they’re now refusing to fund our national security. By treating military paychecks like bargaining chips, Senate Democrats are putting our men and women in uniform last.

President Trump and his cabinet continue to slash through bureaucratic red tape! The approval of the Caldwell Canyon mine will keep Idaho at the forefront of American mineral production for many years to come.

It’s in Idahoans’ DNA to help one another when times get tough, and I applaud Idaho Falls for supporting TSA agents working without pay. But it shouldn’t have to come to this. Senate Democrats must end these political games that hurt Idaho communities. eastidahonews.com/2025/10/local-…

In just 9 months, President Trump has secured the southern border, put an end to the disastrous Lava Ridge wind project, and created the largest tax cut for working families in American history. Democrats want to stop President Donald J. Trump from continuing this winning streak, so they shut down

A shutdown is not an efficient way to run the government. From delaying services for the American people to withholding pay for federal employees, this Democratic shutdown is flat wrong.
