Fresno Unified is proposing about 200 layoffs to help close a $77 million budget deficit, with district leaders planning $39 million in staff cuts and reorganization. Superintendent Misty Her says the move is difficult but necessary, while the teachers union warns the cuts will harm students.

The FCC has received hundreds of complaints after ABC aired Jimmy Kimmel’s segment joking about the killing of Charlie Kirk, with viewers calling the remarks insensitive and inappropriate. Critics accused ABC and Kimmel of making light of a politically charged tragedy, while the network has not commented on the backlash.

Fresno Unified’s Layoffs & FCC Complaints 

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has announced 17 nominees for the Class of 2026, including major artists such as Phil Collins, Mariah Carey, Lauryn Hill, Shakira, Iron Maiden, INXS, P!NK, Luther Vandross, Wu‑Tang Clan, and more. Ten nominees including Hill, INXS, Etheridge, Shakira, and Vandross are on the ballot for the first time, with inductees to be revealed in April. 

Historians at Manhattan’s Merchant’s House Museum have determined that a hidden passageway found beneath a built‑in dresser drawer was likely part of the Underground Railroad nearly 200 years ago. The narrow, deliberately concealed shaft built by Joseph Brewster, an abolitionist drops about 15 feet underground and is now considered a rare, intact piece of architecture used to help enslaved people escape to freedom.

The Missing Epstein Files

The PM Lounge in Fresno, a 16,000‑square‑foot private social club, debuted with a star‑studded, three‑day grand‑opening featuring celebrity guests and performances by Steve Aoki, Shaquille O’Neal (DJ Diesel), Ben Harper, and “The Voice” winner Michael Huntley. Now officially open, the lounge is operating more quietly for members, with management saying the Vegas‑style launch was only “the tip of the iceberg” as the club builds out its full experience. 

President Trump’s surgeon general nominee Dr. Casey Means faced tough bipartisan questioning in the Senate, including concerns about her vaccine stances and lack of an active medical license. Means avoided direct answers on debunked vaccine autism claims, drawing scrutiny over her qualifications and alignment with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
