Trump reschedules weed from Schedule I to Schedule III, but Idaho's Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch push back, warning the move undermines efforts to protect young people, public safety, and make America Great Again. 

The state also responds to the Potato Drop fireworks accident that injured a young girl, while lawmakers freeze $14M in childcare funds over Minnesota fraud concerns. 

Plus, Idaho receives $1B for rural healthcare, ITD plans beltways to combat Treasure Valley traffic, and the Supreme Court prepares to hear arguments on school choice tax credits.
