Idaho blocks California's electric truck power grab that would have forced costly mandates on our state. This successful effort united Idaho with 16 other states to stop California from dictating nationwide trucking standards.

Gov. Little defends how school choice helps Idaho families, while Sen. Risch fights to stop taxpayer money from funding youth transgender operations. We also cover twelve more stories that matter to Idahoans - from libraries that protect children from harmful content to Sandpoint students who compete in national rocketry finals.
