Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador is fighting tirelessly to protect the state's sacred right to prohibit gambling, while said state's lottery continues enthusiastically separating Idahoans from their money. We examine the government's selective commitment to liberty, Idaho's latest kratom prohibition crusade, and the legislative wisdom of never mentioning freedom when lobbying for less taxation. Meanwhile, NPR mourns Idaho's budget cuts, lawmakers consider a $75 fine for driving too slowly in the left lane, and the elimination of license plate stickers somehow becomes another bureaucratic production. Plus, Dr. Ryan Cole commits the unforgivable sin of independent medical thinking, a moment of silence sends Boise activists into a panic, and lawmakers grapple with the constitutional crisis of whether food stamps should buy cookies with sprinkles. It's another week of protecting Idahoans from themselves, whether they like it or not.
