The founders intended our U.S. Senators to serve as a moderating, independent check on presidential power, especially in foreign relations. Unfortunately, that “independence” is missing from Idaho Senator Jim Risch.

Come election day, I invite you to challenge this ongoing display of loyalty to foreign interests by showing up to the polls and voting for a candidate who won't sell Idaho out to the highest bidder. Vote Todd Achilles, independent veteran for U.S. Senate. #AchillesforIdaho #retirerisch

As of July 2025, Idaho ended the Family-Directed Care (FPCS) program—cutting off a proven, cost-effective lifeline for families caring for children with disabilities. In this video, I talk about how to advocate to your state legislators for restarting FPCS in Idaho: ⬇️

You asked, we listened: our Dumpster Bill of the Week segment is BACK! We started this series during my time in the Idaho Legislature, and we're bringing it back to take out the trash in D.C. (we may need bigger dumpsters). 🗞️🗑️ This week, we're tossing the SAVE Act.

“So, what inspired you? What was the ‘aha’ moment when you said, ‘You know what—I’m going to run for the U.S. Senate’?” Hear this answer and more on the Political Potatoes podcast—a conversation about debt, digital privacy, healthcare markets, and the limits of party politics in Idaho.

As an Army vet who deployed to the Middle East, I’ll say this: nobody is defending Tehran. But Vietnam taught us something—you don’t bullsh*t the American people about war.

Our latest campaign announcement is echoing across the country. Todd Achilles, Independent veteran for U.S. Senate from Idaho, is officially on the ballot for Nov 2026. We are taking on an 82-year-old multi-millionaire who has lost touch with the people he is meant to serve here in the Gem state.

I'm back with my favorite segment: Dumpster Bill of the Week. This week, I'm tossing the Stop Insider Trading Act straight into the garbage. Idahoans deserve real reform, and that is what I will bring. We need actual legislation, not garbage hiding behind a convincing title.

Donald’s feelings are super hurt because everyone except Vanilla Ice pulled out of his political stunt… I mean concert. He says he’s going to perform for everyone instead, and that he’s even better than Elvis.😆 I wonder whether he’s gonna buy or rent his clown costume.🤡🎪

Ukraine is strong. Ukrainians are brave. But resilience is not infinite. In Odesa, I see businesses closing, people leaving, and growing fatigue after five years of war. Even bamboo snaps if bent too far. The world must stop confusing courage with endless capacity. #Ukraine

See, I didn't mention any Israelis. I mentioned American Jews. Why it's racist is because you brought that up. Think on it. Because you're American does that mean I should blame you for everything Trump does? But if you're a racist, you'll blame all Jews for Netanyahu. Israel's just a dog whistle.
