Gavin Newsom has reversed course and will now enforce federal rules requiring truck drivers to pass an English‑proficiency test, after the USDOT froze over $40 million because California was the only state refusing to comply. Gov. Gavin Newsom is firing back at critics who’ve accused him of racism over comments about his low SAT scores in an onstage chat with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens — with an expletive-filled rant online.

California Finally Enforces English Tests For Truck Drivers & Newsom Can’t Read

Congressional Candidate Stolen Valor

Child Predator Sting 

Whoppers Over Big Macs

Veterans are criticizing a California Democratic candidate after reports surfaced that he exaggerated his Navy service record. The controversy is raising questions about credibility and transparency as the race heats up ahead of the 2026 election. 

Police in Huntington Beach arrested a man accused of running a vigilante sting after allegedly posing as a minor online to lure suspects. Investigators say the operation crossed legal lines, raising concerns about safety, due process, and the risks of civilians trying to carry out their own crime stings. 

McDonald’s is losing ground as Burger King’s revamped Whopper gains momentum with customers. Analysts say menu upgrades, pricing pressure, and changing consumer tastes are putting new strain on the fast‑food giant’s once‑dominant position.

Trump Agrees To Two-Week Ceasefire

Trump Pauses Iran Strikes To Negotiate 

President Donald Trump said he’d agreed to a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday, less than two hours before his 8 p.m. deadline to destroy a “whole civilization.” 

President Donald Trump has set an 8 p.m. ET deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or else the U.S. will begin targeting the nation's power plants and bridges Tuesday. Iran has rejected proposals put forward by the U.S., and Trump in turn shut down a 10-point plan from Tehran on Monday, saying it was "not good enough."

FUSD Removal All César Chávez 

FUSD Retirees’ Marital Status Audit

Fresno Unified is considering whether to remove all references to César Chávez from district schools and facilities. The debate has sparked strong reactions, with supporters calling it an erasure of civil‑rights history and critics questioning Chávez’s legacy and whether schools should honor controversial figures. 

The district launched its audit on retirees’ dependents amid a network dispute that temporarily disrupted health care services for thousands of retirees and their dependents. Retirees last month filed a class-action lawsuit against the district over healthcare plan changes in 2023 they say diluted their benefits.
