@brianalmon We really need a new, upgraded term for this tier of RINO.

Sen. Jim Guthrie is debating against H752 on the Senate floor, defending trans-identifying people using restrooms that correspond with their “gender identity”.

@TheCalvinCooli1 If he wants someone more Libertarian leaning, he should throw all of his support behind Massie.

🚨Just in: Kentucky Senator Rand Paul says he is 50-50 on running for President in 2028 He believes he can link the libertarian wing with the business wing to counter GOP populists. Paul said: “We’re thinking about it. I would say 50-50.” Via: CBS News

So cool seeing it all laid out like that.

@michaeljknowles @AOC I'm fine with gambling regulation so long as it is left in the hands of the states. However, these companies have side stepped state laws and now many pundits (not necessarily Michael) want a federal solution.

Should I invite @AOC onto the show to discuss her excellent point on betting sites?

@unusual_whales Owner of company that benefits from AI being overhyped overhyped AI. More at 11.

@SenRandPaul We passed this in Idaho last year, it was a fantastic choice.

I’ve introduced the Nutritious SNAP Act. It prohibits SNAP funds from being used to buy junk food because subsidized groceries should support health & wellness, not chronic disease. So far, not a single Democrat has co-sponsored the bill. reviewjournal.com/opinion/editor…

@unusual_whales One of the most destructive platforms of our generation, for both men and women.

@elonmusk I find this... Improbable

Optimus+PV will be the first Von Neumann probe, a machine fully capable of replicating itself using raw materials found in space

@gemstatechron Appreciate these play by plays!

Rep. Skaug closes by reminding the committee of Chloe Cole, who was first socially transitioned, then physically, to the point of a double mastectomy. He adds that doctors have been ignoring real issues with depression and suicide and heading straight for gender dysphoria. He says dysphoria was a fad that is going the way of frontal lobotomies, and someday we'll look back in horror on what was done to children.

Sen. Todd Lakey convenes the Senate Judiciary & Rules Committee, which will soon debate House Bill 822, prohibiting schools from socially transitioning children without parental consent. 🧵

@brandendurst We also generally are not good at collation building. We spend more time fighting our own side than the enemy.

Conservatives do not understand this. They ride their rugged individualism all the way to the L column. The only reason we have a GOP majority (which is super weak) is because populist traditionalists understand the power of collective action.

@kenvogel The Trevor Milton pardon remains one of the most egregiously corrupt actions in recent memory. Absolute slap in the face to anyone who has built a business honestly.

Trump has granted clemency to more than 70 people convicted in fraud cases. At the same time, he says he is waging a "war on fraud." Those granted clemency included allies & donors. Those targeted in the "war on fraud" include Somali & other immigrants. nytimes.com/2026/03/19/us/…

@brianalmon I generally like policy that reduces the layers of unelected officials under elected officials. This is a positive step in that direction.

Senate Bill 1300 - makes the directors of IDOT, Fish & Game, and Parks & Rec subject to appointment by the governor and confirmation by the Senate, rather than by appointed boards. What do you think?

@TheRabbitHole Unfortunately the Woke AI currently works much better for most technical tasks. Hopefully X AI can close the gap.

Which way?

@unusual_whales 10x on 200M? Rookie numbers for this administration...

Last year, Donald Trump Jr. invested in a rare earths startup at a $200 million valuation, per Bloomberg. Three months later, the U.S. government announced a major loan backstop. Now the company is valued around $2 billion, per Bloomberg

@michaeljknowles Tremendously disappointed with just about everything Trump has done this term... Except the press conferences, which have been every bit as legendary as anyone could have hoped.

“Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” No press conference response will ever top it.

@JoelWebbon I'm not sure we can recover if we lose the trifecta in 28. Trump failing to deliver the America First agenda in this term may be the final harbinger of doom.

Prediction: We get crushed in 2026 and 2028. America First replaces MAGA in 2032. Stay the course.

@elonmusk @diana_dukic The AI spam is really frustrating. It gobbles up a massive amount of physical scrolling space, and it usually takes a few second to identify (as opposed to old school spam/trolling that is instantly recognizable).

@diana_dukic What needs to be better?

Went from scrolling 24/7 to not even wanting to log in. X just hasn’t been hitting the same lately.

In the last half hour, I've had four different parcels delivered by three different shipping companies... I have yet to decide if this makes the shipping industry incredibly efficient or incredibly inefficient.

@SamLariat @HollyBender20 @gemstatebrief Yep, here it is: legislature.idaho.gov/legislators/me…

@FerrinsThoughts @HollyBender20 @gemstatebrief Caleb - I am unable to find Kelly Anthon in the search. Can you send the information please?

This is the year to push all of the anti-illegal immigration bills through.

@HollyBender20 @gemstatebrief Send a polite email to Kelly Anthon, the Senate Pro Tem. Unlike Guthrie he is generally receptive to constituents and he has substantial power in the Senate.

@gemstatebrief So what can we do?
