A text message from Risch’s Chief of Staff Ryan White to Little’s Chief of Staff Zach Hauge included a post about the announcement and said, “this was news to us,” to which Hague responded, “same,” according to public records obtained by the Sun. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/10/…

More people should tell folks at @VocesInternship that something can't be done so @Ximena_Bustillo/ @nicoleMfoy will put their heads together and prove everybody -- everybody -- wrong. Voces continues to shape the reporting landscape in Idaho in ways nothing else has for a WHILE.

“It’s going to be a tough next couple hours. I’m hoping that somebody has a clear shot and is able to neutralize (the shooter),” Sheriff Norris said. “Because they are not showing at this point in time any evidence that they are wanting to surrender.” idahocapitalsun.com/2025/06/…

On a call w/ reporters, @IDSecOfState McGrane says Idaho has passed half a million voters (with early morning turnout today, absentee ballots and early, in-person voting totals) for the 2024 general election. Clerks report lots of same-day voter registration across the state!

McGrane said some lines were forming right as polls opened at 8 a.m. and expects the busiest hour to vote will be 5-6 p.m. after people get off of work. Lines may be present then also, he says.

In a press call today, Idaho Secretary of State Phill McGrane said if you're voting early today (today is the last day to do so!), and if you're in line by 5 p.m., even if it's a long line, you'll still be able to vote. 350,000 Idahoans have voted so far in the general election!
Lots of folks using their franchise. 🇺🇸

I voted early yesterday at the Ada County Elections Office and there were 30-40 people in line the entire time I was there, and the election worker said that it's been that busy every day! Love to see it!

The federal Rehabilitation Services Administration placed Idaho’s vocational rehabilitation grant on “high risk” status due “significant concerns” about the division's ability “to ensure appropriate financial accountability." Important read from @pfannyyy: idahocapitalsun.com/2024/09/…

Very hard to believe it's been a year since I got the call that J.J. had died. Our @maldonado_mia_ does a graceful job of showing his impact to Idaho's Latino youth and our state. This weekend, I'm putting on my fancy shoes for you, Super J.J. idahocapitalsun.com/2024/09/…

Shout out to the man who would relentlessly call the Idaho Press office to scream into the telephone whenever we got this wrong. I don't get it wrong anymore. Your hill is now my hill, big guy ;)
This is the kind of word nerd specificity that gets AP style fans very excited: A speaker stands behind a lectern, on a podium or rostrum, or in the pulpit.
