    TUESDAYS WITH TERRY: Protect College Sports Act, PHD’s & City College Bachelor Degrees

    The Wall Street Journal reports that the proposed Protect College Sports Act is a federal effort to create nationwide rules for college athletics as schools, athletes, conferences, and lawmakers grapple with the rapidly changing world of NIL (name, image, and likeness) compensation and athlete payments. The growing shortage of academic jobs for Ph.D. graduates is not just a crisis, but a sign that higher education is producing more doctorates than the academic job market can absorb. For years universities have trained large numbers of Ph.D. students even as the number of tenure-track professorships has stagnated or declined. As a result, many graduates face temporary positions, lower-paying jobs, or careers outside academia. A pair of new California laws will allow the California Community Colleges system to offer up to 12 new bachelor's degree programs each year, expanding beyond the limited number previously allowed. The goal is to help fill workforce shortages in high-demand fields where four-year degree programs may be limited or unavailable.

    TUESDAYS WITH TERRY: FUSD’s Budget, a Pit Viper & 3D Printed Protein

    In an opinion piece, Miguel Arias argues that Fresno Unified School District is effectively "robbing Peter to pay Paul" by moving money between funds and relying on one-time resources to cover ongoing expenses. The article questions the district's long-term financial strategy amid budget pressures. The man who reported seeing a large venomous snake in his Santa Ana backyard has confessed that he made up the story and admitted that the photo he showed neighbors and police of the viper was AI-generated.

    GUNS: Newsom Signs New California Gun Law

    Gov. Newsom is allowing winter-blend gasoline to be sold early to help lower prices. How much do you think this will actually save drivers? A new California law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom will require most prospective gun buyers to complete a firearms safety course before purchasing a gun. The requirement is set to take effect in 2027. Gun-rights groups argue the requirement creates an additional barrier for law-abiding citizens. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a new law banning the sale of single-use, battery-powered nicotine vapes in California to address litter, pollution, and battery-fire risks. The law applies to tobacco/nicotine disposable vapes, but does not include cannabis vape devices.

    The WSJ art Some colleges are cutting tuition as families push back on rising costsicle highlights a shift in higher education: instead of automatically raising tuition every year, some colleges are lowering sticker prices or redesigning financial-aid strategies to attract cost-conscious families.

    JUSTICE DEPARTMENT: Election Denier Kurt Olsen Resigned from DOJ

    The BBC story covered a Walmart patent for an internet-connected shopping trolley capable of tracking items, displaying information, and potentially simplifying checkout. It was an example of how major retailers were experimenting with smart-store technology, although a patent filing alone did not guarantee the system would ultimately be deployed in stores. Kurt Olsen, a prominent figure in efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, has resigned from the Justice Department. He had been working in the Southern District of Florida on a high-profile investigation targeting Obama- and Biden-era officials, a probe that has not yet resulted in charges. His departure follows other personnel changes on the same investigative team.

    SPACEX STARSHIP FLIGHT 14: Musk's Biggest Rocket

    There’s a growing controversy surrounding White House-funded television spots featuring Donald Trump. The newest ad, which is nearly identical to a 2024 Trump campaign video but ends with "Paid for by the U.S. Government," has intensified debate over whether the commercials are legitimate public-service announcements or taxpayer-funded political messaging ahead of the November midterms. SpaceX is attempting the first orbital flight of Starship, a major test of the spacecraft that the company hopes will eventually carry astronauts to the Moon and Mars. A successful mission would be a significant milestone for both SpaceX and future deep-space exploration.

    MEDIA: Are TV Networks Still Covering Trump?

    The Washington Post article examines the increasingly unusual state of presidential television coverage following the White House's dispute with several major news outlets and the subsequent breakdown of the traditional TV pool system. The short answer, according to the piece, is: yes, networks are still covering President Trump, but not in the way they traditionally have. According to Mediaite, a new television ad featuring President Donald Trump aired on Fox News Sunday and sparked criticism because the ad disclosed that it was"paid for by the U.S. government."

    TERRORIST PLOT: Agencies Investigating Links to RAF Fairford Target

    According to ABC News, a British government minister cautioned that information provided by a whistleblower or tipster regarding an alleged security plot connected to RAF Fairford may represent only part of what investigators are examining. The comments come as authorities continue investigating a case involving the Royal Air Force base used by U.S. military aircraft. Andrew Bailey, the former Missouri attorney general who joined the FBI in 2025 in the newly created role of co-deputy director, is stepping down after about a year in the position. Bailey, the former Missouri attorney general who became an FBI co-deputy director in 2025, is resigning and returning to Missouri for family reasons. His departure marks another leadership shift at the FBI and leaves the future of the bureau's unusual co-deputy-director structure uncertain.

    ROGER LAW: Trump Dividend, Lindsay Clancy Defense & Texas Judge Controversy

    Trump is promising a $5,000 "Trump Dividend" for every American adult if Republicans keep control of Congress after the midterms. The proposal would likely cost over $1 trillion, faces legal and constitutional questions about spending authority, and would almost certainly require congressional action. The latest development in the Lindsay Clancy case centers on the lone holdout juror whose vote prevented a unanimous verdict. The defense wants the judge to investigate his conduct and truthfulness, while the juror's attorney argues that such an investigation would unfairly target a juror simply because he disagreed with the other eleven members of the panel. The story is about fallout from a viral video showing Nathan Milliron angrily confronting an IT employee. Subsequent emails in which the judge told a subordinate "I'm much smarter than you" intensified criticism and fueled a broader debate in Houston's legal community about judicial conduct, professionalism, and accountability.

    TEXAS: James Talarico Debate Challenge to Ken Paxton on Fox News

    The argument is that Hasan Piker has evolved from an internet personality into a national political issue. His ability to mobilize younger progressive voters makes him attractive to some Democrats, but his history of controversial remarks has made him an increasingly valuable target for Republicans. As the midterms approach, Democratic candidates such as Abdul El-Sayed are facing ongoing questions about how closely they want to be associated with him. According to reporting cited by the Washington Post, Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico is trying to put pressure on Republican nominee Ken Paxton by challenging him to a debate on Fox News, while Paxton has yet to commit to any debate.

    END-OF-THE-WORLD: Why We Keep Predicting the Apocalypse

    In The New York Times Magazine, columnist David Wallace-Wells explores a recurring question in human history: Why are people so drawn to predictions of the end of the world?

    WHITE HOUSE: Takeaways from the Trump-Xi Summit

    Communities across the country are marking Dolly Parton Day with celebrations honoring the life, music, philanthropy, and cultural impact of Dolly Parton. The observance centers around her enduring influence as a singer, songwriter, businesswoman, and charitable advocate. The Hanford Police Department is asking residents to rally behind K-9 Jett as he undergoes treatment for a serious medical condition. The department hopes community donations and support will help cover veterinary expenses and aid in his recovery. The summit succeeded in lowering the temperature of U.S.-China relations and extending the current trade truce, but it did not resolve the biggest disputes between the two powers. Trade, Taiwan, AI, and international security issues remain unresolved, leaving future negotiations to determine whether the two countries can move beyond symbolic cooperation toward more substantive agreements.

    LOCAL JOURNALISM: The Disappearance Of Valley Newspapers Is A Crisis

    In an opinion essay for The Merced FOCUS, editor Marijke Rowland argues that the continued decline of traditional newspapers in the San Joaquin Valley represents a serious threat to civic life, but she rejects the idea that local journalism itself is dying. A surprising trend is emerging among former vapers: some adults trying to quit e-cigarettes are ending up back on traditional cigarettes instead. According to data cited by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), nearly 30% of adults who stop vaping eventually return to combustible cigarettes.
