July 31, 2025 - Republican senator James Risch, who received more than $250k in donations from the Israel lobby, literally runs away from a CODEPINK activist attempting to ask him questions about Israel's genocidal starvation of Gaza. In his panic the Idaho senator even leaves behind the soda he just bought. [video]

Republican office holders are all Trump's bitches now.

The problem for them is that after Trump is gone, their self-abasing, grovelling, and humiliating comments will still be on the public record.

An unequivocal defeat for Trump would send the GOP into a vortex of chaos. That's even more of an incentive to make sure he's beaten.

Risch holds up spending bill, angry over naming of wilderness after former rival Andrus

Idaho Sen. Jim Risch held up a vote on the omnibus spending bill because it contained a piece of legislation to rename an Idaho wilderness area after former Gov. Cecil Andrus.

A lot of things can go haywire when Congress tries to pass an omnibus spending bill at the last minute.

But Idaho GOP Sen. Jim Risch raised a lot of eyebrows, and plenty of ire, when he decided to risk blowing up the spending bill to wage a political battle.

The battle he chose? Preventing the renaming of 90,769-acres of Central Idaho wilderness the Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds Wilderness. Andrus died in August.

How Deep Will the Senate Delve Into Flynn Investigation? How far will the Senate go in investigating the events that led to the resignation of National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, amid wider concerns about Russian interference in the election? Judy Woodruff gets two reactions from Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, and Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., who both sit on the Intelligence Committee.

The most conservative member of the Senate has his office not far from the Russell Rotunda, where many of his colleagues regularly approach the mic under the lights and go on national television.

But you won’t find James Risch, the high-energy, low-visibility junior Republican senator from Idaho, anywhere near the camera. That also explains why you may not have heard of him.

Yet it was Risch—not Sens. Mitch McCon­nell, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, or Marco Rubio—who compiled the Senate’s most conservative record, according to National Journal’s newly released 2013 vote ratings. And he did so for the second straight year and third time overall since he took office in 2009.

Risch stands in contrast to his Republican Senate colleagues, not so much because he’s more conservative but because he doesn’t seek the spotlight like some, including three possible presidential candidates. Risch cedes the point. He may indeed have the lowest name recognition compared with his colleagues.

I’ve got to do some research on this guy. The fact that he has been ranked the most conservative senator three out his five years in the Senate yet I’ve never heard of him because he isn’t an egotistical media whore like pretty the entire rest of the Senate is intriguing.
