Idaho Abortion Ballot Fight: Gov. Brad Little’s GOP allies face a new statewide test as Democrat Terri Pickens and independent John Stegner back a November ballot initiative that would end Idaho’s strict abortion ban, restoring abortion access through fetal viability and for emergencies. Courts vs. Trump Voter Data Push: Federal courts rejected the Justice Department’s bid to access state voter rolls with personal identifiers, with Idaho among states resisting a federal effort that critics warn could become a surveillance database. Grizzly Management Shift: The Interior Department moved to return grizzly bear management to states (not delisting), reopening a public comment period on a revised rule; Idaho Gov. Brad Little backed the change. Wildlife Protections Rolled Back: Interior also canceled an ESA rule that provided automatic threatened-species habitat protections, a move conservation groups say could speed extinctions. Local Public Safety/Justice: Boise police say Collision Cam footage posted online helped lead to a drug arrest after suspected meth was recovered from a storm drain. Idaho Courts/Forestry: The 9th Circuit revived a conservation group’s Idaho logging project challenge, saying the group should have been allowed to raise an argument earlier. Community & Culture: Sun Valley earned DarkSky resort certification, and volunteers helped renovate Sandpoint Junior Academy ahead of the fall term.
