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.

Robert Netzly sat down to show how an Idaho company forced Costco to ban abortion drugs, and why that fight should make every Idahoan and American rethink how they invest. We also covered his updated book Biblically Responsible Investing, how Inspire Investing screens funds and 401(k)s, and how everyday people can use their portfolios to shape corporate behavior instead of funding causes they reject.
