Clovis Unified School District did not see a significant increase in absences last month due to a student walkout, data shows. Absenteeism data acquired by The Fresno Bee, per California’s Public Records Act, shows that on Feb. 10, Clovis Unified recorded 642 unexcused absences, including 211 high school students and 87 intermediate students. 

During a California Senate subcommittee hearing, lawmakers grilled State Librarian Greg Lucas over $650,000 in unaccounted funding tied to a Dolly Parton–backed child literacy program. Senator Sasha Renée Pérez called the missing funds “incredibly serious,” while Senator Shannon Grove warned the lack of transparency “reeks of … potential fraud.” 

Brian Cole Jr., charged with planting pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters on Jan. 5, 2021, is now seeking dismissal of charges, arguing that Trump’s sweeping Jan. 6 pardons extend to his alleged actions since they were “inextricably tethered” to the Capitol events. His lawyers contend the clemency was worded broadly to cover pending and past charges tied to Jan. 6, while the White House disputes that interpretation.
