Here's video I found of Marjorie Taylor Greene calling electeds an awful slur used against those with learning disabilities. She then says "I'm not trying to talk down on people with Down's Syndrome. But that's what these people are." Expel Greene.
BIG QUESTION: What exactly leads Moscow Police to believe this is an ISOLATED incident and there is no threat to the community. That's the question we need answers to today.
Whenever I asked him how he was doing in the morning, he would always say “it’s another day in paradise".
Guess what, Larry? Now you really are in paradise. I know God welcomed you with open arms. But, we are sure going to miss you down here. That's the hardest part. 💔
THREAD: There is a lot of discussion about D.M., the roommate who saw the killer walk by her after the murders, froze, and then locked herself in her room. Steve Goncalves (Kaylee's dad) spoke to NBC about D.M., and I will share some of the transcript here.
This was taken by Jason McNealy of Boise.
He’s a surgical tech at

He captioned this powerful photo...
“My city standing with me.”
You’ll all be happy to know I managed to “come out of the home” and get to work today. I’m helping to support my family and contributing to this great community... because... 2021.
The outpouring for Larry is simply incredible. I woke up today to hundreds of messages to respond to. Larry was so loved. He would want me to respond to all of you, so I will. 💔

Thousands gather in Boise for Planned Parenthood rally - The rally was held in response to the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion that would overrule the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion nationwide.
Can we get free breakfast and lunch for all Idaho children in our schools? That would be incredible and such a blessing for struggling families.

It’s law:

Paddles Up Poké in downtown Boise has decided to do something pretty incredible for the employees from a local restaurant that recently closed without paying them.
INCREDIBLE GESTURE. ❤️

Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. My 6th grade son tested positive a few days ago, so it was bound to happen. My symptoms have been pretty rough the past 24 hours. My littles are also sick & presumed positive. We’re a hot mess over here, thank you for all your encouragement!
This photo circulating is

and her own daughter. They live in the same household and therefore do not have to social distance or wear masks together. If they come within 6 feet of others, they do. They seem ready to do so. McLean’s mask order goes into effect tomorrow.

@KTVB
Well, it happened. My vaccinated kid tested positive today and really isn’t feeling well.
This means I’ll be off the news for a bit, isolating with the family. Watching for symptoms for the rest of us. Will keep you all posted.
I have to admit I’m just… sad.
Stay healthy!
What an amazing night!!!

Today, I choose to focus on this beautiful little girl. Ruya Kadir of Boise was brutally attacked at her 3rd birthday party. Yesterday, she passed away. She was so loved, such a bright light, and her favorite thing was Disney princesses. Let’s all honor her today. 💔
I have such incredible news. My parents are both over 75, and they got the first dose of the

vaccine today! They went through a drive-thru clinic at the
@TheForum
in Los Angeles. The relief I feel is overwhelming.
I just picked up my 2nd and 4th graders from WASD.
My 2nd grader says every child in class wore a mask! WOW.
My 4th grader says only two students out of 24 were not wearing a mask.
I am encouraged, my friends. It’s a good day.
Goncalves: "I think it's another victim of this crime." He also said "My heart goes out to her, and she came up to me in different celebrations of life. And she showed herself to me that she didn't behave in a fashion of somebody who was involved in something like this."

All he wanted was to meet Skinner & get his mini helmet autographed. But, he kept missing him at games!
Skinner heard about it and reached out. He set up a special meet and greet just for Cade!

Thank you, Toni. Thank you.
We say this is not our Idaho. With so many stories like this, I’m sorry to admit it may just be our current reality. Things have to change, but how? How do we bring back civility? Ideas?
West Ada school board member Amy Johnson resigns, saying 'the last six months have been shocking and appalling’.
In her resignation letter, she cited harassment and threats directed at her and her family.

I got pulled over today for a registration issue, and my kid said “mommy is a very very bad girl and should go to jail” to the officer. 🤦🏻♀️
Thank you Eagle Police Officer Lim for not taking me to jail.
We’re getting set up to go LIVE from our homes...and I just realized I have FIVE children AT HOME.
Sometimes I’ll be in studio, sometimes I might be at my crazy house bringing you the news.
Well, let’s just say it’s going to be interesting TV. 😂
Mulligans in downtown Boise is at it again! Last year they offered Thanksgiving meals to people in need, and this year, the owners are offering that again.
SO KIND & GENEROUS.

Teachers.
This is how much they care.
My daughter’s 3rd grade teacher bought these, with her own money, for each student’s desk to try to keep them safe.
Things are so tough for our kids’ teachers right now, say thank you as much as you can. ❤️
#NEW
Boise State University confirmed to KTVB that the new face mask requirement would include fans at Albertsons Stadium attending Bronco football games.
MORE DETAILS: Goncalves also talked about what happened during the 911 call later that day: "You got to remember these two girls were so upset that when they went outside after seeing this... it wasn't very legible. They couldn't quite understand what these girls were seeing."
This is a Meridian, Idaho man... his name is Gregory Sumsion. Going viral again! He's the same guy who picked up his daughter from high school dressed as Buddy the Elf. (Let's just say she will never forget it.)
This time, he pranked his hiking partner!
Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed a bill last week that prohibits transgender students in the state from using public school bathrooms that do not align with their gender assigned at birth.
For all the people who are asking me WHY...
WHY ARE SCHOOLS NOT OPENING? WHY DO WE HAVE TO WEAR A MASK? WHY IS THERE NO HS SPORTS? WHY ARE PEOPLE RUINING OUR LIVES? WHY DON'T YOU DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
People, we simply report what is happening, we don't make the decisions.
(Language warning!)
This is disturbing. The man at Costco is just doing his job. The disrespect in this country is reaching record levels. If you don’t want to wear a mask, don’t go to businesses that require it. It’s very simple.
These individuals apparently burned masks the

So… 7/7 of us did in fact get the virus. My son who was the first to test positive - tested negative today and feels great.
The rest are lagging behind since we didn’t test positive until days later. We are all recovering.
Thanks for all the support!

I just had a round of parent/teacher conferences for my middle schooler, and can I just say, our teachers are incredible and deserve everything good in this world.
