THERE'S SOMETHING FISHY ABOUT BEAVERS (NBC BAY AREA)

Beaver dams on San Jose’s Guadalupe River are trapping silt on salmon spawning gravel just as Chinook spawn, NBC Bay Area reports; Valley Water sees no flood risk and is checking fish passage. But bigger threats are human-made: channelization, dams, low, warm releases, mercury and trash. Runs fell from about 1,000 adults in the late 1990s to nearly none (PLOS One).

------

MARX OUT OF TEN (FOX NEWS)

Fox News Digital asked more than a dozen University of Michigan students to define socialism. Answers ranged from Nordic-style safety nets and “mostly I think of Canada” to government ownership of production; several said peers seem confused, and at least a dozen declined to go on camera. A March Fox poll found a record 38% of voters say moving toward socialism would be good.

------

SPRING FORWARD, FALL FLAT (NBC NEWS)

Clocks fall back at 2 a.m. Sunday, Nov. 1. The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act, making daylight time permanent, 308-117 in July, but the Senate never voted; it sat in the Commerce Committee as senators left for the midterms. Sen. Tom Cotton blocked a fast-track try in Oct. 2025, and Trump posted Cotton’s cellphone number. Sleep doctors favor permanent standard time.
