(Courtesy missindianarizona / Instagram) A piece of the World Trade Center made a historic stop on Tribal land in Arizona. The Tunnel to Towers Foundation's “Steel Across America” tour visited the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community near Scottsdale, Arizona this summer. A nearly 17,000-pound steel beam recovered from the World Trade Center's South Tower was displayed at the USS Arizona Memorial Gardens at Salt River. Organizers say it was the tour's first and only stop on sovereign Tribal land as the beam traveled more than 10,000 miles across the country ahead of the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The foundation says the stop recognized the longstanding tradition of military service among Native people. The memorial gardens are home to a piece of the USS Arizona, which was destroyed during the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor. For the first time, steel connected to the 9/11 attacks was displayed there alongside steel from the USS Arizona. Jani Ingram’s students investigate a water source on the Navajo Nation. (Courtesy Jani Ingram) A professor at Northern Arizona University has added new data to a map of safe drinking water on the Navajo Nation. KNAU's Chris Clements reports the map is intended to help tribal communities still struggling with the effects of past uranium mining. Professor Jani Ingram, Navajo Nation, had been driving across the reservation for a while with her student. Their goal? Find and test a remote well that one family was using. “It’s something that needed to be tested because it it really wasn’t great. It had pretty high uranium.” It can be hard for Navajo families to know if the wells near their homes have been contaminated by high uranium levels, which have been linked to health issues like kidney disease and lung cancer. Blue and red dots show water points installed using federal funds from the Indian Health Service CARES Act following the COVID-19 pandemic. (Courtesy Navajo Safe Water) Ingram mapped safe wells using water quality data she and her students collected from years in the field. The map can be found online at the website Navajo Safe Water. And her work is not over: there are tons of tribal wells that have not been tested, something she says she is willing to do at no cost. Indigenous students enrolled within the Chandler Unified School District are featured in a land acknowledgement video from 2025. (Courtesy CUSD) Last year, Indigenous students filmed a brief land acknowledgment for the Chandler Unified School District in Arizona. Following a fierce public debate Wednesday, the governing board voted to play this video at the beginning of all its meetings and future graduation ceremonies. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has more. “We recognize the past, present, and future inhabitants on this land.” “We will cherish, respect and protect this land for generations to come.” This message is only a minute and 43 seconds long, but it means a lot to Indigenous Parent Committee co-president Monique John. “We went into creating this video with positive intentions for our students and communities – all students Native and non-Native.” Chandler governing board member Kurt Rohrs disagrees. “It has no real purpose in addressing our primary mission of improving academic performance for our students. This statement is an empty performance gesture of wokeness, which really doesn't accomplish anything.” Basha High senior Syndel Preston, who is president of the school's Indigenous student club, suggests otherwise. “I want my Indigenous peers to know that they are seen, that the lands CUSD stands on is theirs as well. I don't believe it is divisive to want that for my community and those like me.” The measure passed in a 3-2 vote. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

DeFi Dave, Head of Growth at Cap Money, joins us to talk about how Cap found product-market fit for restaking. Dave breaks down Cap's three-sided marketplace connecting stablecoin users, market makers (operators), and risk takers. Operators access undercollateralized loans backed by restaked ETH/BTC, paying 8-11% to beat their strategies. If they fail, risk takers eat the loss—users stay protected. We also dive into lore building, why most restaking hype was overblown, and how Cap brings Wall Street on-chain.

In this episode, Sebastien Couture is joined by Benjamin, the founder of CAP, a stablecoin protocol designed to provide insured yield. The protocol features two main products: CUSD, a digital dollar, and stCUSD, its staked, yield-bearing version. Yield is generated through an "allocation engine" where third-party operators borrow from the protocol's reserve to execute yield strategies. To ensure user deposits, these operators must be vouched for by restakers on protocols like Symbiotic. If an operator defaults, the restakers who vouched for them are slashed, protecting the stablecoin holders' funds. This model shifts risk from the end-user to the restakers, who have a bilateral relationship with the operators they underwrite, often backed by legal agreements.Topics covered in this episode:Benjamin's background and perspective on ChinaJourney into crypto and stablecoinsHot Take: Stablecoins are not as safe as you thinkThe evolution of stablecoin modelsHas DeFi forgotten about decentralization?CAP's design: CUSD and stCUSDHow CAP generates yield with operators and restakersThe role of restakers and legal agreementsIntegrating with Symbiotic and views on EigenLayerThe best use cases for shared securityNavigating the Genius Act and global regulationsRebuilding trust in the DeFi ecosystemWhy the stablecoin space is not too crowdedEpisode links:Benjamin on XCap MoneySponsors:Gnosis: Gnosis builds decentralized infrastructure for the Ethereum ecosystem, since 2015.

INTERVIEW: Clint Olivier/Clovis Unified School District discusses Assembly Bill 1390, introduced in 2025 by Assemblymember Mike Fong and coauthors, proposes a major overhaul of school board compensation in California. The bill would raise the monthly pay cap for school board members from the current range of $60 to $1,500 to a new range of $300 to $7,500 (or $90,000 per year), depending on the district’s average daily attendance. Supporters argue the increase would attract more diverse and qualified candidates, especially in large districts like Los Angeles and Fresno. Critics argue it's not necessary.

Two campuses within Clovis Unified School District (CUSD) were without working air conditioning Wednesday, a day after it went out. According to CUSD, both Reyburn Intermediate and Clovis East High were impacted by the air conditioning outage. A spokesperson for CUSD said teams are currently working to fix the issue. Montana became the first state in the U.S. to enact a complete ban on TikTok on Wednesday when Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte signed a measure that's more sweeping than any other state's attempts to curtail the social media app, which is owned by a Chinese tech company. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) for California's Senate race in 2024, but behind the scenes, the powerful Democrat appears to be working to ensure he is the Golden State's next senator. Pelosi's oldest daughter, Nancy Corinne Prowda, is helping Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) recover from her battle with shingles and keep up with her Senate duties, per Politico. While the senior senator from California remains in office, the three representatives jockeying to take her seat next are staying confined to the campaign trail — a factor that aids Pelosi's favored pick. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is a direct relationship between the value of living in Claremont and the quality of Claremont's schools.   In an effort to maintain and strengthen that link, Alex McDonald MD is  running for Claremont Unified School District (CUSD) in the Special Election for Trustee, District 4 to be held on July  25, 2023.   Alex was able to take a short break from his busy schedule as a CUSD parent and his practice as a family and sports medicine specialist to answer some of the most pressing questions about his perspectives, plans and strategies should he be elected.In this very personal and forthright interview, Alex reveals that he, by personal experience, knows what it is like to be a patient with critical needs and a student with special educational requirements.  As a physician, more than most, he sees the direct and collateral results and benefits of a good education ,  as well as the disadvantages and damage that poor education can cause.  As a result, as CUSD's D4 Trustee, he can focus on solving the many crucial issues facing the students, faculty, administration and board.  Alex openly and honestly takes on a variety of very direct questions about the toughest current topics, such as critical race theory, gender identification, gun control and shooter/lock-down drills, childhood obesity and diabetes due to today's diet and exercise habits, drugs in the schools, and the immediate, if not crisis-level need for increasing the physical, emotional and mental health of our students.  As a physician who has made a career of healing others, he believes that his education, experience and his many successes bring an extra layer of unique qualifications that he can apply directly to improving the quality and effectiveness of the education which CUSD students receive.  For anyone who has or, actually is, a student in the CUSD system, and especially if you are in District 4, this interview should be considered required listening before meeting him at a public meeting or Candidate Forum, and certainly before casting your vote.=================================For more information, visit Alex McDonald's CUSD campaign Website:https://www.mcdonald4cusd.com/   Email:mcdonald4cusdPlatform:https://www.mcdonald4cusd.com/dr-alexs-platformOn Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/McDonald4CUSDOn Twitterhttps://twitter.com/mcdonald4cusdOn Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mcdonald4cusd/Feedback, questions, comments, constructive criticism are all welcomed and encouraged.Send to claremontspeaks@gmail.com with Feedback in the subject line, or go to the appropriate page on Claremont Speaks' website - https://www.claremontspeaks.comClaremont Speaks is a Paradise Road Media production.

In the middle of the current race for the Claremont Unified School District's Board Seat for Area 4, experienced classroom educator and sixteen year CUSD School Board veteran Steven Llanusa  took some time to respond to today's tough, complicated questions facing the Board, the staff and the students.    Given the importance of the issues at hand, Steven Llanusa took Claremont Speaks' challenge to eclipse the level of the popular group forums,   Steven embraced the opportunity and took full advantage of this open and completely unrestricted platform to provide direct, cogent answers - straight from his decades of experience and his heart - on topics that parents, students, faculty and staff...and most of Claremont...would surely place at the pinnacle of importance.  The value of his experience, empathy and abilities is evident as he discusses school funding, critical race theory being taught (or not) in the schools, banning of books in the library vs. required reading, the value and harm of different levels of active shooter drills, mental health programs for the students and the impact/value of the School Resource Officers on the students as a few examples.If you care about Claremont's schools, this is the "must-listen" episode of this year's CUSD Board election.  After listening and gaining a better understanding of this candidate, vote from a more informed vantage point.  But DO vote, please.  And when you see Steven, in the store, at a meeting or even in the park at the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast, please take a few seconds to tell him how much you liked this CS interview.=======================Steven Llanusa's Contact Information:Email: stevenllanusa@gmail.comCampaign Website: tiny url.com/lea 2022Feedback, questions, comments, constructive criticism are all welcomed and encouraged.Send to claremontspeaks@gmail.com with Feedback in the subject line, or go to the appropriate page on Claremont Speaks' website - https://www.claremontspeaks.comClaremont Speaks is a Paradise Road Media production.
