A potential food crisis is brewing in Arizona that could be a warning to other states as changes to the Supplemental Food Assistance Program start to take effect. Federal funding cuts and major changes to state administration of SNAP have caused enrollment in that state to drop by half. As many as 200,000 children who once received SNAP benefits now go without. Many of those who were dropped are eligible, even with new work requirements, but they can't get through the state's restructured system. State officials estimate one in three Navajo Nation residents receive SNAP benefits. Native Americans in general are much more likely to rely on SNAP than the general population. Arizona has been aggressive in initiating SNAP changes. Those same changes in other states are expected to start rolling out after the midterm elections. We'll find out what's different — and what's the same — in Arizona when it comes to the looming SNAP changes. GUESTS Chairman Julian Hernandez (Pascua Yaqui Tribe) Carly Griffith Hotvedt (Cherokee Nation), executive director at the Indigenous Food and Agriculture Initiative Mary Greene-Trottier (Spirit Lake Nation), president of the National Association of Food Distribution Programs on Indian Reservations and director of the Spirit Lake Tribe Food Distribution Program Jaynie Parrish (Diné), executive director of Arizona Native Vote Michelle Estradé, research associate at the Center for Human Nutrition at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

This week, the fellas kick things off with a conversation about Black-owned businesses, Black consumer support and what we actually expect from businesses that market directly to our community. That leads us into the controversy surrounding Earn Your Leisure co-founder Rashad Bilal and his viral Invest Fest comments, the backlash that followed and his response to the criticism. From there, we get into Stephen A. Smith vs. the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) after the organization gave him its “Thumbs Down” award over what it described as a pattern of disrespect toward Black women in media, sports and politics — and Stephen A. firing back at the organization. We also break down the wild Penn State fraternity cocaine-trafficking investigation, where 14 people have been charged in an alleged drug operation connected to two fraternity houses, and the bizarre story out of Philadelphia involving a man in a Chucky-style mask accused of chasing, threatening and terrorizing people near City Hall. All that plus more trending news, culture, debates and unfiltered conversation on this week's episode. for more,

She studies why anti-racist professional development in schools so often fails to change how teachers actually treat students — and what works instead. Dr Abby C. Emerson is an assistant professor of Childhood Education at Hunter College, CUNY, where her research spans anti-racist and abolitionist teacher education, restorative justice, and the critique of whiteness in educational spaces. She's been named National Association for Multicultural Education's Critical Teacher of the Year, and this fall she releases her book, From Anti-Racism to Professional Learning for Liberating Schools, with Harvard Education Press. Most schools running anti-racist professional development hit the same wall: teachers learn the theory, reflect on their own bias, update a unit — and the discipline data doesn't move. Dr. Abby C. Emerson studied schools across New York City to find out why, and she found the fix isn't another workshop. It's handing the mic to students.

Chronic absenteeism doesn't get fixed by counting absences. It gets fixed by asking why. Dr. Leah Marsh is Assistant Principal at Niles Middle School in Ohio and one of three finalists in the country for the National Association of Secondary School Principals Middle Level Assistant Principal of the Year. Under her leadership, Niles Middle School reduced suspensions by 32% while attendance and engagement went up. She did not relax a single standard to get there. SPONSORED: Ellis, a program of Children's Health Council, sponsored this episode. All opinions are my own and that of the guest. In this episode she walks through what her team actually did: pulling the absence data apart until it named real causes — a bus-driver shortage was one — building a Check & Connect mentoring program that pairs struggling students with one adult in the building who is glad to see them, and opening a room called the Dragon Den where a student can re-regulate and go back to class instead of collecting a detention. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why the number on your absenteeism report is the beginning of the question, not the answer • How her team decides which students get a mentor, out of 450 to 500 kids • What the Dragon Den is, and why it isn't just another detention room • Why a rise in tardies can be a win when whole-day absences fall • Her answer when someone asks whether a teacher's wake-up call is really the parent's job Full show notes, resources, and the complete transcript: https://www.coolcatteacher.com/e974  If this episode gave you something to try, leave a review wherever you're listening — it helps other educators find the show.

Black on Black Cinema breaks down the National Association of Black Journalists giving Stephen A. Smith its "Thumbs Down" award, reserved for commentary the organization considers especially insensitive, stereotypical, or at odds with NABJ's mission around fair representation of the Black community. NABJ's statement specifically cited Smith's recurring pattern of disparaging commentary toward prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media, saying it reinforces harmful narratives and undermines fair, respectful representation.We agree with NABJ here, and we break down exactly why. Smith has spent years building a media empire on saying whatever gets a reaction, and his commentary toward Black women specifically has followed a consistent, well documented pattern that deserves scrutiny; not just from critics online, but from an organization built to hold Black media figures accountable to Black communities. Smith's response was predictably combative, essentially promising retaliation on his platform. He even ran to Fox News' Sean Hannity to make his thoughts known. A curious platform if he is trying to reach Black people...hmmm. We discuss why that reaction proves NABJ's point more than it disproves it, what accountability from within the profession actually looks like, and why Smith's expanding political platform makes this moment even more significant.We also announce the next film to be reviewed which is the 1989 film "Chameleon Street" which follows a social chameleon who impersonates reporters, doctors and lawyers in order to make money. (Film is available to watch on Tubi for free).Black on Black Cinema is a long-running podcast featuring in-depth Black movie reviews and frank conversations that matter to the Black community.

A bipartisan bill gaining momentum in Congress could double the capital gains tax exclusion for homeowners who sell their primary residence. The proposal would raise the exclusion from $250,000 to $500,000 for single filers and from $500,000 to $1 million for married couples filing jointly, with future increases tied to inflation.   Supporters say the change could also help unlock housing inventory by removing a potential tax barrier for longtime homeowners who are reluctant to sell. Kathy Fettke explains what's in the More Homes on the Market Act, why the National Association of Realtors is backing it, and what the proposal could mean for homeowners, housing supply, and real estate investors.   Learn more about investing in Real Estate at RealWealth.com.   Source: https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/capital-gains-tax-exclusion-more-homes-on-the-market-act/

Stephen A. Smith took a beating from the National Association of Black Journalists — a "thumbs down" that landed less like disapproval and more like a middle finger. Jason Whitlock breaks down why Smith won't apologize for calling a black man a devil on tape, yet he ran straight to Sean Hannity's couch the moment black women in his own industry turned on him.

When was the last time you went to the doctor?Not necessarily for something big, not for a broken finger or the flu. Just a checkup. A regular annual visit to make sure everything is ok with your health.For about a third of Americans, it's probably been too long. In 2024, more than 100 million people did not have a regular primary doctor at all, according to the National Association of Community Health Centers.The outlook is particularly bleak for young people. More than a quarter of people aged 18 to 29 polled in a national survey this summer said they didn't have a primary care doctor. And over half of them who did have a doctor said they skipped or didn't schedule an annual wellness check up in the past year.But the blame shouldn't fall solely on the patients. Primary care doctors are getting squeezed by the current healthcare system. There's a growing shortage of primary care physicians. That can mean wait times of months just to get an appointment.For today's installment of our series, “In Good Health,” we're unpacking the state of primary care—and what to do if you don't have access to it.Find more of our programs online.

A former professional basketball player is running to become South Carolina's first Black governor. Dr. Jermaine Johnson will explain why he's the best man for the job. The Trump administration is bragging and taking the credit for violent crime going down, but those crimes have been declining since 2022 - when he wasn't in office. We'll talk to the Senior Director for Public Safety from the Center for American Progress about the numbers. Attorney General Todd Blanche is considering seeking the Supreme Court's intervention to compel states to hand over voter rolls. California prosecutors told jurors Tupac Shakur's 1996 killing was 'an act of revenge' during today's opening statements.

A real estate transaction may involve homes, emotions, and major life decisions, but underneath all of it is money. Can the buyer afford the property? Will the taxes affect their qualification? Does the appraisal support the deal? Is the financing actually a good choice for the client? Agents who cannot answer those questions may struggle to advise buyers, identify problems early, or find the solutions that keep transactions moving. In this Best Of episode, we revisit a practical conversation with real estate and financial technology entrepreneur Teresa Grobecker about why agents need a stronger understanding of the financial side of real estate. Teresa argues that real estate professionals should know more than whether a buyer has received a preapproval. They should understand the financial information to determine whether that client can actually reach the closing table, and whether purchasing the property is a responsible decision for them. You'll learn: Why real estate is fundamentally a financial transaction How financial knowledge can help agents close more deals Why a preapproval does not tell an agent everything they need to know How property taxes can affect a buyer's ability to qualify Why understanding PITI gives agents a strategic advantage How financial knowledge can help agents identify overlooked solutions Why agents must disclose any compensation connected to financing How helping buyers evaluate their options can build greater trust   Guest Bio Teresa Grobecker is a recognized innovator in the real estate, fintech, and proptech sectors. With over a decade of experience as a licensed real estate broker and deep expertise in brokerage management, compliance oversight, and technology integration, Teresa has consistently pioneered solutions that bridge the gap between traditional real estate processes and emerging technologies. As the first founder to successfully take a real estate brokerage onto a blockchain, Teresa combines her deep understanding of regulatory requirements with forward-thinking technology strategies to drive operational efficiencies and revenue growth. Her background includes founding and scaling multiple companies in real estate and finance, serving as a venture partner, and contributing as a thought leader in both industries. As the founder of the first online real estate and mortgage brokerage in San Francisco, she showcased her innovative approach. With a background as an equity partner at a global investment bank, Teresa has deep insights into capital markets and has advised the Federal Reserve, SEC, and FHFA on regulatory matters. Additionally, she led three National Association of Realtors portfolio companies during high-growth stages and consulted with Blackstone's ancillary services, advising bank CEOs and presidents. Her expertise in underwriting loans and enhancing their appeal to secondary and capital markets further strengthens her ability to craft compelling marketing strategies that drive growth.

Allany offers an encouraging message for people who are newly diagnosed: life may look different, but it can still be full, meaningful, and connected. ​ For more information and support: Visit the CDC's epilepsy resources, the Epilepsy Foundation's seizure-first-aid materials, and the National Association of Epilepsy Centers' patient resources. You can also follow our guest, Allany Muniz, and Diary of an Epileptic on Instagram and TikTok at @DiaryofanEpileptic, and on YouTube at Diary of an Epileptic. ​ ​Bio: Hey, my name is Allany Muniz, a woman who happens to have epilepsy. In my 14 going on 15 years of having epilepsy, I have experienced PTSD, healing, mental health issues, paranoia, finding my confidence/voice, and isolation. I got diagnosed in August of 2011. That particular day was typical, except for feeling excited to start my freshman year. I was ready to get rid of the nightmares I endured in middle school and saw high school as my fresh start. Honestly, I can't even tell you what he said; all I heard was seizures and epilepsy. A few days later, I had a seizure, which confirmed my epilepsy diagnosis. Of course, in my life, I've been the center of embarrassment and humiliation, so when I had 3 seizures at school, I became known as the "seizure girl."  Throughout the years, I received opportunities to speak about my story and spread awareness. The idea of Diary of an Epileptic started in 2019 when I would have these creative... self-talk moments (now known as vivid visions/dreams). In November 2020, I fractured my ankle and thought, " Might as well, since I had nothing else to do. It was weird at first because I forgot I was still loopy from the anesthesia, but it felt... right like I was on the right path.

   We got our first peak at the 2026 Chiefs on Saturday and as you might expect, it was a mixed bag.  Lots of sloppy play, one  player with a disappointing defensive performance and a couple guys on offense that turned heads.  It's a start and was nice to see football again.  One question... why are the Chiefs hyping Patrick Mahomes so much publicly?  The whole broadcast felt like an "oversell."    You're going to need a bowl of popcorn to watch this one.... Steven A Smith of ESPN is given a thumbs down award from the National Association of Black Journalists and he has now vowed to report things he says he's known for years about this organization.  I can't wait.    Royals left Noah Cameron is on a heater and his latest is a near no-hitter against the Angels.  Jac Caglianone is on his way to becomgin Royals player of the year. Legendary pitcher Tommy John dies at age 83 and it's a crying shame he's not in the Hall of Fame.  I'll explain why.     In the news, Donald Trump does a 180 on North and South Korea.  Ty Masterson gets a big union endorsement.  My interaction with an off duty KCK police officer is just fantastic and scientists have discovered the dolphins know how to fish with bait.

Keke Palmer spoke on her podcast and specifically praised blue-collar professionals like mechanics and firefighters, reigniting a broader social media debate about modern dating standards and what truly makes a partner “high value.” The entertainment buzz continued with growing reactions to Stephen A.

The National Association of Black Journalists recently gave ESPN host Stephen A. Smith the "thumbs down" award due to his "recurring public pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports and media." Former ESPN host Jemele Hill joins Don to break this down.

Nolan Wells' friends' apologist Officer Tater joined psychotherapist Elliott Connie recently to discuss the Wells case and Tater's related interviews. Mr. Connie joins us live this morning to break that discussion down. Also, Stephen A. Smith was given an 'F' by the National Association of Black Journalists in regards to "his recurring pattern of disparaging commentary directed at prominent Black women across politics, sports, and media." Let's talk about it!

In this episode, we kick things off with an alarming wave of high-tech cargo theft that's costing the freight industry a staggering fortune. Cargo thieves have stolen nearly $111 million in data center freight since early June, with individual cases ranging from $2 million to a jaw-dropping $38 million. In a disturbing new tactic, criminals deliberately crashed into security escorts protecting high-value technology shipments, then continued driving with the loads in what experts call the "bump-and-run" method. Next, we discuss a massive fraud case unfolding in Georgia where the FBI is urgently seeking truck drivers nationwide who may be victims in a 54-count tax fraud indictment. Federal prosecutors charged 62-year-old Diane Marie Poe, owner of Genuine Financial Services in Walton County, with 32 counts of bank fraud and 14 payroll-related tax offenses. Prosecutors accuse Poe of keeping money that customers provided for estimated tax obligations instead of delivering promised services, with at least 26 identified clients working as self-employed truck drivers who relied on her company for bookkeeping and tax preparation. Finally, we head south to examine how Mexico's heavy-duty truck production surged 51.8% in July as tariff tensions continue to simmer. Mexico's National Association of Bus, Truck and Tractor-Trailer Producers reported that manufacturers produced 14,675 heavy-duty vehicles during July, while exports climbed 66.7% year over year to 13,117 units. With a staggering 92.4% of Mexico's truck and bus exports through July shipped to the United States, ANPACT officials are urging policymakers to preserve the USMCA's core principles and renewing their call for changes to Section 232 tariffs.

The final hour begins with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans speaking to the media, as ITL listens in and reacts to his biggest comments with Houston preparing for another important week of training camp and joint practices with the Raiders. The show wraps with Figgy's Mixtape, featuring the wild story of a Houston man accused of threatening the Texas Governor's Office after having issues accessing his favorite anime website, another Houstonian going viral for taking matters into his own hands and helping move traffic on the Northwest side, and the growing feud between Stephen A. Smith and the National Association of Black Journalists after NABJ gave Smith its 2026 “Thumbs Down Award.”

ITL kicks off the show by reacting to another weekend of Texans Training Camp, where the offense and defense once again exchanged blows during practice. With Houston's defense expected to be one of the NFL's best, the guys ask whether the offense consistently holding its own against that group is enough evidence to say this Texans offense is legitimately better. The conversation then shifts to the Astros and the AL West, as ITL debates what winning one of baseball's weakest and most tightly contested divisions would actually say about where the Astros are as an organization. The first hour wraps with the Question of the Day: What endeavor or project would you take on if you were rich? ITL then goes Around The NFL, reacting to the biggest news and storylines from across the league before asking whether the Texans could be headed for another slow start to the regular season and what needs to happen to prevent it. What's Popping closes the hour with the biggest stories from sports and entertainment. Later, Reggie shares what he learned from conversations with several Texans assistant coaches at practice, giving the crew insight into different players, position groups, and developments taking shape as camp continues. The guys and listeners then come clean during another edition of ITL Lunch-Time Confessions before handing out their Winners & Losers of the Weekend. The final hour begins with Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans speaking to the media, as ITL listens in and reacts to his biggest comments with Houston preparing for another important week of camp.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Federal credit unions are limited to investing 1% of their assets, in the aggregate, in credit union service organizations. That number went into the Federal Credit Union Act in the 1970s, and when NACUSO went back and researched it, they found no legislative history explaining why 1% was chosen. It is, as NACUSO general counsel Brian Lauer puts it, truly an arbitrary number — and it is now colliding with the capital requirements of artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and stablecoin.In this episode, Mark Treichel is joined by Brian Lauer, general counsel to the National Association of Credit Union Service Organizations (NACUSO) and a partner at Messick Lauer & Smith P.C., for a wide-ranging conversation on where CUSOs stand and where the rules governing them are headed.Brian explains why NACUSO has shifted from a defensive posture on Capitol Hill — largely a response to NCUA's push for vendor authority — to an offensive one. Over roughly the last 18 to 24 months the association has been on the Hill four times and returns in September, as its own organization rather than as part of an industry fly-in, pushing for changes to the Federal Credit Union Act that would eliminate the 1% cap and let credit unions manage CUSO investments on a balance-sheet-by-balance-sheet basis, the same way boards already manage capital above the statutory prompt corrective action floor.The conversation also covers a second statutory issue that gets less attention: the "primarily serves" limitation. As Brian describes it, "primarily serves" is not a limitation on investment powers in the Act, but when NCUA wrote the modern CUSO regulation in the 1990s it conflated investment and lending and applied the standard to both. The practical effect is that a credit union asking for a strategic seat at the table with a technology company has to tell that company half its business must be with credit unions — and the company is usually the one that walks away.Elsewhere in the episode: why NCUA's CUSO numbers are unreliable, with the most recent registry list dating from 2024 and no verification of the self-reported data, even as Brian's own practice forms 30 to 40 CUSOs a year; the consolidation and acquisition activity now visible in the CUSO space, including third-party vendors buying CUSOs that fit their lanes and regional CUSOs merging across geographies; and what a one-member NCUA board does to the regulatory pendulum — faster swings, Brian argues, with less compromise built in.The episode closes on the GENIUS Act. CUSOs are named in the legislation, which Brian calls a real win, and federal credit unions that want to issue a payment stablecoin will need to do it through a CUSO. He makes the case that credit unions need a stablecoin of their own for the same reason they needed shared branching, that the only way it works is through collaboration among a large group of credit unions — he estimates closer to 1,000 than 100 — and that adoption will likely be slower than the conversation suggests, with the payments side mattering most. Mark adds the argument that moved him from skeptic to something closer to convinced: if stablecoin helps keep the dollar the world's reserve currency, that is a reason to want it developed here rather than somewhere else.Brian can be reached through his firm at cusolaw.com and on LinkedIn. NACUSO's annual conference is in Las Vegas in the spring of 2027, and the association also runs the VentureTech event for credit unions focused on technology.Concise version — social and discoveryFederal credit unions can invest only 1% of assets in CUSOs. That number went into the Federal Credit Union Act in the 1970s, and there is no legislative history explaining where it came from.Brian Lauer, general counsel to NACUSO and a partner at Messick Lauer & Smith P.C., joins Mark Treichel to explain why that arbitrary ceiling now matters more than it ever has — and what NACUSO is doing on Capitol Hill about it.Inside the episode: the 1% cap and the campaign to remove it; the "primarily serves" limitation that keeps credit unions out of strategic fintech investments; why NCUA's CUSO count cannot be trusted; CUSO consolidation and acquisition activity; what a one-member NCUA board does to the pace of regulatory change; and why any credit union stablecoin under the GENIUS Act will have to be issued through a CUSO — and will only work through collaboration.

Doc Walker and Anthony dive into the war of words between Stephen A. Smith and the National Association of Black Journalists. Smith believes the organization unfairly targeted him and questioned why it didn't address its concerns with him directly, while the NABJ says his public commentary has crossed a line. The guys debate whether the organization handled the situation properly and whether Smith's political explanation holds water.

Newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche speaks to the employees at the Justice Department about their hard work and integrity, respecting the authority of the judiciary, and letting people of different political backgrounds disagree to work out the best policy.

"How do we continue doing this work when the socio-political realities are unimaginable? I've been living in Paris the last few years, and I continue to have a full caseload in Tehran and other cities. There was a time that the internet was cut off for our Iranian patients, so there is reality, and then there is a reality that actually affects the frame -  they couldn't contact their analyst. But in the middle of all of these things, something very interesting came up, which is, some patients, as soon as there was the possibility of contacting me, they would find a way. There were other things that came up in the supervisions I was doing, particularly if the analysts were outside of Iran and the patients were in Iran. For example, one thing that came up in the supervision was that the analyst would write to the patient all the time, saying, "Are you safe? Are you okay?"  That's not something I chose to do. When we discussed this and reflected upon this in the supervisions I felt like the analysts were feeling quite guilty for feeling that they are in a safe place and the patients weren't, or they were at times terrified of the aggression that could be awaiting them in the session. It was in a sense like a little bit of an acting out on the part of the analyst."  Episode Description: We begin by acknowledging the ongoing war and Gohar's safety in Paris while many of her patients remain in Iran. We explore what this gradient  in danger between analyst and analysand means and evokes for both parties. Gohar notes that many supervisees contact their patients to ask, "Are you OK?" and she invites them to reconsider this response. She also describes working with Russian colleagues, many of whom were abandoned by their Western supervisors after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This leads to a discussion of analytic work with patients whose political views sharply differ from those of their analysts. Gohar reflects on Jonathan Lear's concept of "radical hope" and shares her perspective on the Woman, Life, Freedom movement. She closes by reminding us that, even with those we regard as 'other,' "our emancipation is inherently intertwined, whether we like it or not."

If you have ever tried to lose weight only to find the weight crept back on, you're not alone. In fact, for tons of people, this happens over and over again. This is called “weight cycling,” and a bunch of influencers are saying that this is terrible for us.

A Quick Note to Listeners: Before this week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: How can I set the tone on Day #1? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Will Darter: Dr. Will Darter is a rural school superintendent, author, presenter, speaker, and national advocate for small school leadership. He is the host of the Rural Education Leaders Podcast that elevates and celebrates rural voices and focuses on impact for leaders. Will is the author of The Empowered Rural Education Leader, where he champions the belief that big things come from small schools. Will’s transformative leadership and service have had him recognized as the Emerging Superintendent by the Southwest Missouri Association of School Administrators, a Leader of Impact in Small Schools by the National Association of School Superintendents, and a member of the Springfield Business Journal’s 2026 40 Under 40 Class for his leadership, service, and impact in education. Will is passionate about equipping leaders with practical systems, clear vision, and a deep commitment to service. Through his writing, speaking, and podcasting, he empowers educators to build strong cultures, steward resources wisely, and create lasting impact in the communities they serve. Let’s Get Into the Episode: In this episode, hosted by Dr. Jen Schwanke, we challenge the “bigger is better” narrative that often dominates educational conversations. While urban and suburban districts frequently capture the national spotlight, the heart of American education beats strongly in its rural communities. My guest today, Dr. Will Darter, joins us to share his unique journey from a childhood in Orange County, California, to the rural heartland of Missouri, where he now serves as a dedicated administrator and advocate for small schools. We discuss the challenges and value of tight-knit communities, the shift from a “scarcity mindset” to one of stewardship, and why the most impactful leadership isn’t about a ladder of status, but about climbing a “wall of significance.” Significance Over Status: Rural leadership offers a unique level of visibility and impact. In a small district, leaders can't hide; success is measured not by “flashy” facilities, but by the faithfulness of service and the depth of connection to every student and staff member. The “Speedboat” Analogy: Unlike large “cruise ship” districts that take a long time to turn, small schools function like speedboats. With a clear, written plan and a driven team, rural leaders can implement change and see the direct impact of their vision almost immediately. Stewardship vs. Scarcity: Rather than focusing on what they lack compared to suburban and urban districts, rural leaders are best served by focusing on the resources they do have. This includes building local partnerships where the community and students work together to improve their own schools. Connection as the Antidote to Burnout: Rural administration can feel like an island, but isolation is often self-imposed. Dr. Darter emphasizes that “connection beats burnout” and advocates for maintaining a tight inner circle of mentors and peers to sustain long-term passion for the work.

(Chris Clements / KNAU) The states that share the Colorado River have a new federal framework in place for managing the embattled waterway, but as KNAU's Chris Clements reports, the impact of the U.S. government’s strategy on tribal nations is less clear. The new framework from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation could result in steep cuts to the Central Arizona Project, a delivery system for Colorado River water. That worries some tribal leaders like Orlando Carroll, chairman of the White Mountain Apache Tribe in eastern Arizona. “We definitely would be concerned of any cutbacks that are generated.” Under a federal settlement, Carroll's tribe can lease its share of water from the river, but at least his tribe's water rights have been spelled out. Other tribes, like the Navajo, Hopi, and San Juan Southern Paiute are watching the U.S. put out a Colorado River management plan for the states, while their own water rights in Arizona remain unquantified. Brenda Jesus is a Navajo Nation council delegate. “I just don’t understand that they’ve gotten their water rights decree, yet in the year 2026, the Navajo Nation doesn’t have any.” A settlement to give the Navajo Nation its water rights in Arizona is still under consideration in Congress. Golden king crab season runs from August 1, 2026 to April 30, 2027. (Courtesy Ethan Nichols / Alaska Department of Fish and Game Golden king crab season opened on Saturday in the Aleutian Islands. This year, the total allowable catch for the region is 13% higher than it was last season, as Katie Reuther reports from KUCB. Ethan Nichols is an Area Management Biologist with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) based in Dutch Harbor. He says this reflects a sizable increase for the western area of the fishery, at over a million and a half pounds this season. “The quota in the east this year is a very slight decrease from last season, it’s down 4%. In the western area, it's a large increase this year. It’s a 79% increase.” Due to the size of the golden king crab fishery, it is split into two different management areas: one east of Atka and the other to the west, each with their own harvest levels. “The east has more fishable depths or more fishable ground, whereas you get further west and much smaller islands that drop off quicker.” That means better fishing in the eastern area. Even with a slight decrease in allowable catch this year, the eastern area's limit is still more than double that of the west's limit at over three million pounds. Nichols says he is optimistic about the upcoming season. “I think it's a really unique crab fishery, just where the fishing occurs, it being a deep water fishery from a select few vessels, and I'm excited about the upcoming season.” Just four vessels are expected to fish for golden king crab this season. The fishery was worth $29.5 million at the dock last year, according to preliminary figures from ADFG. This year's season ends next April. The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) meets for a business meeting in June 2026. (Courtesy ACHP / Facebook) Tribal historic preservation leaders are voicing concerns over proposed changes to the federal review process for projects that could affect sacred sites and cultural resources. Last month, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation voted to advance a proposed rule revising Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, a key law requiring federal agencies to consider impacts on historic properties and consult with Tribal Nations. The National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers says the proposal would weaken tribal consultation, narrow protections for places of religious and cultural significance, and give federal agencies greater authority over the review process. The proposal now heads to federal review before it is published for public comment. Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily. Sign up for our daily newsletter today.
