Soaring gas prices — topping $5.50 a gallon in parts of California — are reigniting calls to suspend the state’s 88‑cent gas tax, the highest in the nation. Supporters say it would give drivers relief, while Gov. Gavin Newsom and consumer advocates argue it would mostly pad oil company profits and drain road‑repair funding.

California Politicians Call For Suspension Of Gas Tax To Lower Prices

Healthy Eating Keeps The Brain Younger

Nicotine Pouches Are Everywhere 

Americans Thoughts On Shooting Someone

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.

Cesar Chavez Sexual Abuse Allegations 

Meteor Breaks Sound Barrier 

Dolores Huerta, the iconic United Farm Workers leader, publicly accused co-founder Cesar Chavez of sexually assaulting her twice in the 1960s and fathering two of her children—claims she kept secret for decades to protect the movement. She revealed the allegations to coincide with The New York Times’ broader investigation into Chavez, prompting local leaders in Fresno and Bakersfield to call for removing his name from public streets and landmarks. 

A meteor roughly 6 feet across and weighing about 7 tons streaked over northeastern Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania, breaking the sound barrier and triggering a thunderous sonic boom that rattled homes and was captured on satellite & National Weather Service data. The space rock exploded at about 30 miles altitude, releasing energy equivalent to 250 tons of TNT, and a fireball was visible across 10 states and southern Canada before fragmenting high above Earth.

Cesar Chavez Sexual Abuse Allegations & Meteor Breaks Sound Barrier

A century-old schoolhouse in Sanger has been transformed into Schoolhouse Restaurant & Tavern, delivering unexpectedly high-end fare that surprises in a rural farm setting. Chef Ryan Jackson, a Napa Valley veteran who grew up nearby, uses local produce to create gourmet dishes—like spectacular fried Brussels sprouts—that have quickly made the historic spot a standout stop.
