The first few weeks of the year have been dominated by an onslaught of unprecedented news. The rapid exercise of executive power, the constant churn of headline-driven policy, the sidelining of Congress, and the absence of accountability should concern every Idahoan—regardless of party.

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country
Mike Johnson comes out against additional guardrails on ICE as Democrats call for it.
“I think there's a lot of Democrats playing games right now with national security and with law enforcement. And I think it's dangerous. Ice is doing what ice is designed to do by its very name.”

My calls to Jim Risch's office are not connecting. Can't even get to the voicemail. Sometimes calls connect to a different business, like a restaurant.
This has been going on for several days. Anyone else?
