If you were unfortunate enough to e-file your US #tax using HR Block, Taxact or Taxslayer, your most sensitive financial information was nonconsenually shared with Facebook, where it was added to the involuntary dossier the company maintains billions of people, including people who don't have Facebook accounts.

The FCC's preliminary maps for U.S. #broadband coverage show a few spots in the country with zero coverage, including a strip through the #Idaho panhandle.

"The FCC’s older maps collected data at the census block level, meaning that if a single home was served in a census block, the whole block would show up as served on our maps. The net result was maps that were overly optimistic, lacked location-specific information, and subsequently glossed over gaps in coverage."

@LabSpokane the kind of freedom that is the opposite of freedom. We know a lot about that in Idaho
This latest interview with Wold, posted after I wrote the piece, details some of his work in the Trump administration, including to deny asylum seekers entry at the border. His general critique of the conservative movement is that it's too ivy league, too focused on Washington, and (here's the important part) too focused on propriety to develop an appetite for wielding power.

The man Labrador has tapped to become Idaho's chief litigator in September gave a speech where he argued that conservatives have ceded the cultural battlefield by advocating economic neutrality. He argued they should use the power they have in state governments to force conservative values into businesses. #Idaho #Boise #idpol

@yocum137 @IDAHbOt (sorry, realized I accidentally posted this reply from the bot account). absolutely understand. fwiw, it is set up to allow you to filter out twitter content if you only want news. you just add the filter _IDAHbOt_twitter, and all twitter reposts should disappear
Hey #idaho, #boise, #idpol and #idleg friends, I'm beta testing a bot that pulls together news from Idaho news websites along with twitter posts from #idleg and #idpol. If that seems like something you'd be interested in, request to follow @IDAHbOt. Take a look at it and let me know if you see any problems or have any suggestions so I can polish it up before I make it public.
@vaughnodon I have a beta up now. Doesn't have #idedu yet but I can add it if folks want it
I have a beta version up for testing. Request a follow and I'll grant it. @IDAHbOt currently replicates new Twitter posts in #idpol and #idleg as well as updates from a few Idaho news. Let me know what you like and don't so I can polish it up before I make it public.
