Brad Little stopped state checks on dyed diesel for 30 days through November 8, right in the middle of harvest, as the Iran war pushes Idaho diesel to $6.41 a gallon. This week's report also covers two Canadians charged with voting in Idaho's 2022 election, the photos of the room where firing squads will execute inmates, Bryan Kohberger asking for a new judge, ten Republicans lining up against Prop 1, the English-language amendment on your ballot, a federal judge upholding Idaho's Medical Freedom Act, and Attorney General Labrador suing OpenAI.
