Elections & Money: Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane says the 2026 primary is “topsy-turvy,” with out-of-state PAC cash rising fast and legislative races now looking like $100,000 contests. Water & Agriculture: IDWR ordered curtailment for junior Eastern Snake Plain Aquifer groundwater users unless they’re covered by an approved mitigation plan, as Snake River shortfalls tighten the squeeze. Local Infrastructure: DEQ awarded Sandpoint more than $40.5M for wastewater upgrades. Higher Ed: University of Idaho named Brian Kane dean of its College of Law as enrollment climbs. Public Safety: A Bear Lake rollover left two injured, including one ejected. National Politics: Democrats are increasingly backing independents in red states to dodge the party brand—while the Supreme Court temporarily preserved access to the abortion pill through mail and telemedicine. Culture & Community: UI and Idaho’s Shakespeare partners launch a five-year expansion of modern verse Shakespeare translations.
