Senate Bill 199 enshrines the federal "Do No Harm” earnings test contained in President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill.” That standard, scheduled to take effect this summer, would shut off federal financial aid for students in college programs that cannot show that after four years following their graduation, a program’s graduates earn more, on average, than a working adult with only a high school degree. 60% of employers have fired recent Gen Z grads within months of hiring them, citing lack of initiative, poor professionalism, and weak communication skills. Bosses call for more workplace readiness like teaching networking, proper attire, and responsibility to better prepare new graduates. The argument is being made that the FCC must upgrade America’s aging broadband infrastructure now, so the internet can handle the explosive data demands of AI. Commissioners are poised to streamline federal rules this Thursday an opportunity to boost network capacity and prevent broadband from becoming a bottleneck for AI innovation. The National Review says real programs like cloud seeding and geoengineering research have blurred the line between science and so‑called “chemtrail” conspiracies. The lack of transparency, it argues, is fueling public mistrust even when the science is legitimate.

The Pentagon is planning to deploy a brigade combat team from the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division to the Middle East to support operation against Iran. A written order to deploy the unit, made up of roughly 3,000 soldiers, is expected in the coming hours, the officials confirmed. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sees a “historic opportunity” to remake the region, according to people briefed by U.S. officials on the conversations. President Trump announced The US will hold off on striking Iranian energy infrastructure and that any negotiated settlement would include Tehran handing over its supply of enriched uranium, a critical element of the country’s nuclear program. The geography of the Strait of Hormuz, where shipping lanes are just 2 miles wide, gives Iran unique power over the global economy. But its history shows the current battle for the strait is just the latest iteration of a centuries-old fight to control the critical trade entrepôt.

A Fresno police officer made an unusual catch Sunday in the Tower District — chasing down and detaining a loose pig near Ferger and Olive.

The U.S. Supreme Court is weighing a major Republican National Committee challenge that aims to ban states from counting mail ballots that arrive after Election Day, even if they were mailed on time. Roughly 30 states and D.C. currently allow a post‑Election Day grace period, meaning a ruling for the RNC could overturn long‑standing voting rules nationwide just months before the 2026 midterms.

Call it a case of scenario fixation syndrome. Last week as Iran laid mines in the Persian Gulf, four of the U.S. Navy’s few specialist minesweepers were on the move to Philadelphia and their eventual decommissioning. The Navy hasn’t had a significant mine clearing capability in decades. Now it faces having to deal with the risk of mines in one of the world’s most important waterways while the West’s thinking on how to deal with the seaborne threat is in flux.

A 12-year study of over 1,600 adults found that those who closely followed the MIND diet—rich in leafy greens, berries, fish, and olive oil, while limiting fried foods and red meat—had brains that appeared roughly 2.5 years younger on MRI scans. A new University of Michigan‑led survey finds that about 19 million Americans (7%) have seriously thought about shooting someone, including 8.7 million within the past year, though most do not act on these thoughts. While firearm ownership wasn’t tied to these thoughts, respondents who considered shooting someone were more likely to either bring a gun to a location or plan to acquire one—highlighting critical intervention opportunities. Nicotine pouches — like Zyn — have exploded in popularity, but instead of ending up in trash bins, they’re turning up as litter everywhere from urinals to sidewalks, rivaling cigarette butts as a sanitation nuisance.

Councilmember Miguel Arias plans to introduce a motion on March 26 proposing to restore the original names—California Avenue, Ventura Street, and Kings Canyon Road—to segments previously renamed Cesar Chavez Boulevard. The move comes in response to sexual abuse allegations against Chavez, which have prompted intense community backlash. Gov. Gavin Newsom said he's considering renaming César Chávez Day in California after disturbing sexual abuse allegations surfaced involving the late labor leader—including accusations from Dolores Huerta. He emphasized the importance of honoring the broader farmworker movement rather than one individual, calling the situation a “sensitive moment” and suggesting conversations are already underway. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Tuesday denounced personal attacks aimed at judges and justices, calling them “dangerous.” “It’s got to stop,” he said.

AI chatbots are now “poisoning” academic research by inventing realistic-sounding but completely fake citations, which are then being cited in real scholarly articles, a problem that began with student essays and has now spread to professional journals. In the 1960s, a shaky film shot in the wilderness helped launch the Bigfoot industry, enriching and then upending the lives of the men behind it. ‘Capturing Bigfoot’ chronicles the fallout. GameStop has officially labeled the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii U as “retro consoles” and launched a Retro Trade-In Bonus, running through March 21, offering an extra 10% credit on these trade-ins.

The Wall Street Journal argues that coverage of Iran has become relentlessly one‑sided and alarmist, dominated by worst‑case scenarios that downplay Tehran’s own aggression and internal weaknesses. The editorial says Americans are being fed “only bad news fit to print,” distorting public understanding of the conflict and overstating Iran’s strength while ignoring its strategic failures and domestic instability. One of the United States’ top counterterrorism officials resigned on Tuesday, citing his opposition to the war in Iran and what he said was Israel’s influence over the Trump administration’s policies, a sign of emerging divisions in the Republican coalition.
