We will be out front of the Boise Centre Grove to see if folks are ready to roll up their sleeves and plant the seeds for Democracy. We’re collecting food & hygiene items to support the people in our community struggling. 208 FMA is also building easter baskets for families in need!

I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.

San Diego Chaldean bishop is arrested at airport, charged with financial crimes Bishop Emanuel Shalet, who is accused of embezzling church funds and money laundering, visited brothels in Tijuana, according to an article in The Pillar, which is staffed by a team of Catholic journa...

More than $427,000 in church funds are missing, but it could be as much as $1 million. The bishop was apparently a regular at a Tijuana brothel called The Hong Kong Billionaire’s Club where he was a VIP client.

As filings close, Republican Steve Daines withdraws from U.S. Senate race Daines praised Alme in a press release issued after campaign filing ended.

I was on a flight tonight, so I missed the extraordinary decision by Senator Daines to quit his reelection race minutes before the deadline to pave the way for his chosen successor without triggering a competitive GOP primary. montanafreepress.org/2026/03/04/r...

In the last 4 days one of my senators broke a Marine’s arm, the other one announced he wasn’t running minutes before the filing deadline so his hand-picked successor could take his place without a primary and my rep announced he was giving up his seat as well.

How’s y’all’s congresspeople doing?

Oregon is set to become the first state in the country to require insurers to cover those costs for cervical cancer patients, and that policy could expand nationwide if a new federal regulationΒ  takes effect at the start of next year.

Many outlets have written about CPCs over the years, but surprisingly few people understand what they are, even those who are well-informed about the political landscape around reproductive care.

The bulk of the money Missouri gives to pregnancy centers comes from federal funds meant to assist families with basic necessities and child care.

As many as $3 of every $4 was from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program in 2024, and in 2026, it will be $2 out of $3.
