Idaho has been in the fight for conservative values in court from day one. With fewer Republican attorneys general left, states like Idaho will be relied on even more, and we'll do everything we can to fill that gap and fight for our country. foxnews.com/politics/gop-ags…

Idaho's water belongs to Idahoans. The Feds want to play by a different set of rules, and we won't let them. Every water user in this state follows the same law, including the federal government. We'll work with federal agencies to meet their needs, but we will never sacrifice the water Idaho farmers, ranchers and families depend on. idahostatesman.com/news/nort…

Idaho Strong! Idaho makes English official language, adopts iconic state gun, defeats pro-abortion ballot measure thepostmillennial.com/news/i…

Thank you, Idaho. I'm still thinking about what you accomplished on Tuesday. For years I've defended our pro-life laws in court. This fall I traveled the state to explain what our laws really say and answer your questions. So many of you wanted the truth after the other side tried to mislead you, and those conversations stayed with me. What I saw this fall was Idaho at its best. Catholics, Evangelicals, Protestants and Latter-Day Saints stood together for life. Families and volunteers gave their evenings and weekends to talk with their neighbors. The Stop Prop 1 coalition never let up, and my friend Chairwoman Dorothy Moon rallied Republicans to get out and vote. More people made this win possible than I could ever name. I’m proud that Idaho chose life, and I'm proud of every one of you who made it possible.

Thank you, Idaho. Last night you sent a clear message that good conservative policy and keeping your word still matter to voters. I'm honored by your trust once again, and I'm ready to get back to work. By defeating Prop 1, you also sent a message to the whole country that Idaho stands up for life and is not for sale. Idaho emerged as a bright spot amidst a challenging night for Republicans nationwide, and our party should take heed of this. The American people trusted the promise of peace and lower prices, only to face a war overseas and increased costs at the gas pump and grocery store. Instead of abandoning our principles, we must deliver on them. This requires leadership that actively listens to everyday Americans, communicates the truth, and follows through on our promises.

Happy Columbus Day! On this day in 1492, Christopher Columbus reached the New World and carried Western civilization and the Christian faith across the Atlantic. That inheritance is ours. Our duty is to guard it and hand it down stronger than we found it.

Happy National Farmer’s Day! God bless our hardworking men and women who work sun up to sun down to put food on our tables.

Idahoans can now buy suppressors, short-barreled rifles, and short-barreled shotguns without registration, lengthy waits, or federal taxes following guidance issued by ATF on Friday  that it will stop enforcing those requirements nationwide, following the court victory Idaho won with 14 other states. Idaho gun dealers and owners should read the ATF’s FAQs at: atf.gov/firearms/update-to-n… before buying or transferring firearms or seek a private attorney for more questions.

Today we honor the Constitution, the greatest governing document ever written. Our Founders understood that our rights come from God, not government. The Constitution was designed to protect those liberties and limit the power of government. As Attorney General, I will always defend the Constitution and the freedoms it guarantees.

Twenty-five years after September 11, we remember the nearly 3,000 Americans killed by Islamic terrorists who sought to destroy our nation, our values, and our way of life. We remember those who died, all the heroes who ran toward danger, and the families who still carry the loss from that day. We will never forget.

NEWS: We’ve delivered the largest big tech settlement in history for child protection. Meta agreed to pay $17.1 billion, with at least $89.2 million of that coming to Idaho. More importantly, Meta will change how Instagram and Facebook treat children: - Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls - “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access between midnight-6am - Robust measures to more effectively verify the age of young users - A two hour daily limit on a child's account - No notifications, and limited access for children during the school day

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.

One week ago, an evil individual opened fire in a Twin Falls In-N-Out drive thru and took the innocent lives of three, leaving many more wounded. My prayers remain with the victims, the injured, and every family carrying this loss. Even in the worst moment, Idahoans showed us who they are. A former officer ran straight at the gunman. An off-duty trooper stayed inside to get people to safety and exchanged fire to protect them. A visitor’s center employee stood his ground on a nearby trail, drawing the gunman’s attention so others could escape. Bystanders and coworkers rushed to render aid to the wounded, some while still under fire. We do not take that kind of courage for granted. Idaho is grateful for these heroes and grateful to be a state full of people who run toward danger instead of away from it. ktvb.com/article/news/crime/…

On Saturday, a gunman opened fire at a crowded Twin Falls In-N-Out. In that moment, Jordan Salinas drew his firearm, took aim, and ran toward the shooter. Salinas and an off-duty police officer together drove the shooter off the property, giving families and employees the chance to escape. Their courage, without a doubt, saved lives. Idaho is grateful for Jordan Salinas. We are grateful for the off-duty officer who stood with him. And we remain grateful for the right of law-abiding Idahoans to defend themselves and each other when it matters most. idahostatesman.com/news/loca…

Idaho families should never have to fear going to the park, walking the Greenbelt, or being killed by an illegal alien behind the wheel. We can and must do more to protect Idahoans from the consequences of illegal immigration. It’s time for the Legislature to strengthen our laws and ensure that businesses that knowingly employ illegal immigrants face meaningful consequences.

Praying for everyone in Twin Falls as first responders continue searching for the suspect near In-N-Out. Twin Falls Police, Idaho State Police, and fire and paramedic crews remain on scene working to secure the area. If you’re in the area, please listen to local authorities and stay away from In-N-Out and the surrounding streets so first responders can do their jobs.

My heart goes out to the families of Madison, Kaylee, Xana, and Ethan, who have already endured unimaginable loss and now must face today’s deeply painful news. My office stands ready to do whatever is necessary to ensure justice is fully carried out. cnn.com/2026/07/27/us/idaho-…
