The 68th Idaho Legislature has been sworn in. As the feelings of excitement and nostalgia subside. I'm reminded how very blessed we are to serve the great people of ID. I have given my oath to protect the rights given by God, the US, and ID constitutions. I look forward to being our voice at the capital. Thank you again for this honor.

Last year Congress reduced the $200 tax on silencers and short-barreled rifles/shotguns to $0 in the OBBB, but kept the related federal paperwork and fingerprinting requirements. We joined other states and gun rights organizations challenging those requirements. A federal court issued a permanent injunction preventing the government from enforcing the paperwork requirement against the parties to this case.
The ruling has caused some confusion. It clearly applies to Idaho’s state agencies and the members and customers of the specific organizations and companies involved in the case. It is not as clear whether it applies to individual Idahoans who were not plaintiffs in the case. I’m working with other Republican Attorneys General to ensure that it applies to every single law abiding citizens and will continue to fight for your 2nd Amendment rights.

🚨 BREAKING: I’ve received confirmation from the Trump Administration that the DOJ will NOT appeal our historic court victory against the NFA.
THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP and Attorney General Blanche, for delivering the most significant Second Amendment win in OVER 90 YEARS!

Under current federal restrictions, State Medicaid Fraud Units can use federal funding to investigate and prosecute fraud committed by Medicaid providers, but not fraud committed by recipients.
I'm calling on Congress to pass the STOP FRAUD in Medicaid Act to expand states' ability to investigate and prosecute Medicaid recipient fraud.

🚨BREAKING🚨
In GOA's case, a federal court just stuck down NFA registration for:
❌Suppressors
❌Short-Barreled Rifles
❌Short-Barreled Shotguns
GOA & our allies in Congress eliminated the tax.
The National Firearms Act of 1934 is now UNCONSTITUTIONAL as applied.

I called up the Guard to help on the Big Grass Fire in Owyhee County. My fire emergency declaration also taps additional resources to help the firefighting efforts in our state. Do your part to prevent fires and stay safe, everyone! gov.idaho.gov/pressrelease/g…

At this point, if you don't support mandating voter ID and proof-of-citizenship to vote, I will just assume that you're in favor of illegal aliens voting and foreign adversaries compromising our elections.
Nuclear Renaissance in Idaho!
Congratulations to @DeployableE & @AaloAtomics for reaching reactor criticality at @INL. Building on @AntaresNuclear’s recent success, these milestones highlight the incredible momentum happening right here in Idaho.
Idaho National Laboratory continues to help drive innovation that strengthens America's energy future, and I'm proud to call it Idaho's national lab. energy.gov/articles/departme…
Two hundred fifty years ago, our courageous forebears stood firm against tyranny. They did not shrink from the moment. Instead, they declared with bold resolve that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed — not from the arbitrary will of kings or distant parliaments.
As the Declaration of Independence so eloquently proclaims:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
They made a sacred vow:
“...we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
What would those patriots of 1776 ask us today? Would they not say:
“Have you kept the faith we placed in you? Have you guarded the Republic we bequeathed to you? Or have you allowed the chains of tyranny to creep back upon a free people?”
That spirit — the spirit of Philadelphia in 1776 — built the greatest republic the world has ever known. A Republic, not a pure democracy ruled by fleeting majorities, but a constitutional Republic anchored in law, limited government, individual rights, and moral virtue.
Today, as we look toward America’s 250th anniversary, we must ask ourselves: Will we, in our generation, honor that same pledge? Will we defend liberty against all threats, foreign and domestic? Will we uphold the Constitution, teach our children the true history of our founding, and pass on this inheritance undiminished?
Let this Independence Day renew our commitment. May we stand as worthy heirs of those who pledged their all for freedom.
May God continue to bless the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.
Happy Independence Day!🇺🇸 🎆

The leaderboard of the nuclear race; 5 of the reactors in development and testing are at Idaho National Labs.
