    A MAJOR victory for women and the Gem State! Idaho was the FIRST to pass a law protecting women’s sports and defend the promise of Title IX. Today, the Supreme Court upheld our law – ensuring our daughters and granddaughters have the fair, level playing field they deserve.

    The Supreme Court is due to decide its case on Idaho’s law banning men from women’s sports any day now. This commonsense law ought to be upheld under Title IX. I look forward to the decision and continuing our work to ensure fairness in female athletics.

    As the birthplace of nuclear electricity and the site of the first advanced microreactor to go critical in 50 years, @INL is leading the way to quadruple U.S. nuclear capacity by 2050. Great to have @SecretaryWright in Idaho, the heart of nuclear energy innovation!
