ICE needs to follow the law and operate consistently with the Constitution.

No more administrative warrants.

Sen. Mullin can make a difference by tightening the standards and operations that were ignored by his predecessor.

Again, we will be watching closely.

We will continue raising awareness and calling out failures in government wherever they appear.

A government that truly serves its people requires constant scrutiny. We’re not going anywhere, and we won’t stop pushing for leadership that earns the public’s trust.

Our homeland security institutions matter, and they must be led by people who take the job seriously and put the safety of Americans first.

We’ll be watching the transition closely. Any new leadership must understand that the American people expect competence, transparency, and results.

The Department of Homeland Security has one of the most serious missions in government: protecting the American people. When leadership fails that mission through recklessness or incompetence, the public has every right to demand accountability.

Kristi Noem Sent PACKIN’ Home! πŸ‘ To celebrate, we’re taking a look back at our call for her resignation.

BREAKING: DHS Sec. Noem has been fired, with Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) reportedly poised to replace her.

Roughly 20% of Idaho land falls under BLM control! Once again, we see Risch isn’t serious about protecting public lands. He would rather be a part of the insider club in Washington DC than stand by and defend Idaho land.

@senatorrisch just days ago fed us lip service about the importance of protecting our public lands. Yesterday, Risch was a deciding vote to appoint β€œsell-off” Steve Pearce to the BLM.

You can count on me.
Unlike Risch, I’m working to restore the Constitution and revitalize Congress, not profit off it.

Our latest campaign announcement is echoing across the country. Todd Achilles, Independent veteran for U.S. Senate from Idaho, is officially on the ballot for Nov 2026. We are taking on an 82-year-old multi-millionaire who has lost touch with the people he is meant to serve here in the Gem state.

I will insist on accountability, constitutional war powers, and an America First strategy that protects our people without endless wars.

Senator Jim Risch is one of the most powerful voices on foreign policy in Washington. Idaho needs him to be a check on reckless escalationβ€”not a rubber stamp for it.

Right now, there is no credible exit plan, our partners are under attack, and β€œhope” is not a strategy. Meanwhile, major new commitments in the Middle East pull resources from other prioritiesβ€”border security, rebuilding our industrial base, and deterring adversaries elsewhere.

28.02.2026 21:49 πŸ‘ 2 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

We owe it to our troopsβ€”and the thousands of Idahoans serving todayβ€”to use military force only when diplomacy has been exhausted, our objectives are defined, and our leaders can explain how we get in and how we get out.

That’s why the White House must not unilaterally claim an β€œimminent threat” without presenting the facts to Congress and the American people. The Constitution is clear: Congress decides when we go to war.

Iran is a serious challenge, but it is not Iraq. It’s a large, capable country, and rushing into escalation without a clear mission, clear facts, and a clear end state, risks dragging America into another costly war.

As a veteran, I’ve seen what Washington too often forgets: wars have consequences for service members, families, and the taxpayers who foot the bill long after the headlines fade.

Boise, Idaho β€” The Iranian regime is brutal. It oppresses its own people, targets women’s rights, funds terrorism, and threatens stability across the Middle East. Idahoans can condemn that evil without signing up for another open-ended conflict.

We’re reclaiming Idaho’s Senate seat from corporate interests and partisan games β€” and returning it to where it belongs: government of the people, by the people, for the people.

Now, let’s get to work

Today, joined by my incredible wife, dedicated team members, and local volunteers, we took to the Capitol steps. We turned in nearly double our required signatures to officially qualify for the ballot, along with my filing paperwork.

Achilles relishes independent Senate run against Risch An Idaho independent candidate seeking a U.S. Senate seat met with more than 50 Idaho Falls residents at a meet and greet event Wednesday in the local Elks Lodge.

β€œAchilles is part of a 2026 independent wave of military veterans challenging incumbent U.S. senators in deep-red states, aimed at creating an independent fulcrum in the Senate.β€œ

I’ll be watching this plant closely. Pocatello depends on these jobs, and there should be real opportunities to expand, scale up, and modernize operations here.

I’m in Pocatello at LA Semiconductor, a fabrication plant that has been part of this community for years. At its peak, the facility employed around 1,000 people; today, that number has dropped to just over 300, with growing concerns about potential closure… ⬇️

SCOTUS did the right thing here, and the American consumer will benefit from Congressional oversight.
