A hydrothermal event is seen in Biscuit Basin in Yellowstone National Park in 2009. Yellowstone officials say a similar explosion on Tuesday, July 23, 2024, sent tourists running for cover and destroyed a boardwalk. They say such events are relatively common.

Lawmakers react to President Biden's decision to step down, an update on the recent explosion at Yellowstone National Park, less students are participating in FAFSA this year and a look at exceptions to Idaho's abortion ban.

It’s Friday, which means it's time for our Reporter Roundtable when Idaho Matters gets you up to date on all the news that made headlines this past week.

Our journalist panel today:

Logan Finney with Idaho Reports
Nate Eaton, News Director at EastIdahoNews.com
Nicole Blanchard, outdoors reporter for the Idaho Statesman
