A growing consortium of University of California (U.C.) educators is imploring the state system to consider basic testing standards for STEM applicants. As of Thursday, more than 1,400 U.C. faculty members have signed onto a letter calling for the reinstatement of the SAT/ACT mathematics requirement for STEM majors, citing a dramatic drop in math proficiency.
The letter, written by four U.C. Berkeley math professors and a law professor, claims that U.C. STEM professors now "observe preparation gaps so severe that instructors must reteach middle-school mathematics while simultaneously teaching the material students need for sciences, engineering, economics, and other quantitatively demanding fields."
The Chicago Bears announced Friday that they are moving forward with a plan to build a new stadium in Hammond, Indiana, which would move the sports team out of Illinois.
The announcement comes after the Bears' board of directors voted Thursday to advance their stadium development plans in Hammond, although the exact site of the domed stadium is still to be determined, according to ESPN.
"We believe a world-class stadium project in Hammond will transform the region, connecting Northwest Indiana and
The authority for the United States government to capture the electronic records of all Americans without warrant falls under the auspices of FISA-702. Reauthorization of the current authority is being debated. This is a deep walk into why this issue is so important to our government.Having researched almost every aspect to the construct and the argument, I am confident FISA-702 authority underpins a much bigger, quasi-constitutional justification for the collection of U.S. citizen metadata. Without the 702 authority the legal justification for the apparatus of surveillance no longer exists. It really is that simple.

BAR HARBOR, Maine — Rep. Ro Khanna of California on Friday said that Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner should apologize to the women who recently came forward describing disturbing behavior they experienced with him.
NBC News IconIn a brief interview with NBC News, Khanna — here to rally on behalf of Platner and other Democratic candidates before Tuesday’s primary — said that he rejected the behavior Platner allegedly displayed against three women who described their past relationships with Platner to The New York Times.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., has confirmed longheld Republican suspicions: Protests are bought and paid for by big donor Democrats.
Murphy admits he has been pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his donor money to fund left-wing street protest organizations.
Now, he’s telling radicals that the 2028 presidential election might not even take place.
The Connecticut Democrat made the alarming claim at a May 26 book tour event during a Q&A with former NBC journalist Katie Couric to help sell his new book, “Crisis of the Common Good.”
When Couric asked Murphy about his national ambitions, he answered by suggesting the country might not make it to the next election.

New information about the brutal stabbing murder of 18-year-old Henry Nowak continues to surface, and each revelation is seemingly worse than the last. In the latest development the Daily Mail now outlines that Nowak’s killer, Vickrum Digwa, actually recorded his victim lying on the ground in agony as the murderer mocked him.
Incredibly the judge in the trial ruled the killer’s own recording of his murder, “too disturbing to be shown” in court. Digwa did not call for an ambulance after stabbing his victim but did take pictures and record Henry Nowak. However, the killer’s own video was NOT shown in court! The footage the court ruled
The St. Paul city attorney says no state charges will be filed against anti-ICE protesters who demonstrated in a St. Paul church earlier this year. The protesters disrupted a Sunday service in January because a church leader there is also a ranking official in a local ICE office.
In a statement sent to MPR News Wednesday, attorney Irene Kao said the decision comes after her office reviewed evidence submitted by law enforcement.
The House Judiciary Committee considered a constitutional amendment proposal that would cap the U.S. Supreme Court at nine justices on Wednesday. Not a single House Democrat on the committee supported it.
The moment came during a committee markup for HJR 1, which would require SCOTUS to “be composed of nine justices.” The measure’s passage along party lines (15-8) means it now goes to the full House for consideration.
The primary method used to amend the Constitution requires that any proposed amendment receive at least two-thirds support from both chambers of Congress and three-quarters of the states in order to ratify America’s founding legal document. sizeable number of Democrats will need

Samsung Electronics America will relocate its US headquarters from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, to Plano, Texas, by the end of 2026 — the second time in less than a year the South Korean electronics giant has uprooted its American nerve center. The company notified employees of the decision on May 29 and issued an official statement on June 1, with a broader announcement including layoff details expected June 5. About 1,000 workers at the Englewood Cliffs campus face a choice: follow the company to Texas or lose their jobs.

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman is roughly one percentage point away from leapfrogging Republican candidate Spencer Pratt in the L.A. mayoral race with 78% of votes counted. After slowly gaining on Pratt for several days, Raman, a Democrat, is still sitting in third with 26.21% of the vote, Saturday night’s latest election numbers show. Pratt, a reality TV star, is now clinging to second with 27.32% of the vote.

Lose Hundreds From Monthly Checks By 2032,
Report Says 29 replies
Millions of Americans who rely on Social Security could see their monthly benefit checks reduced by an average of around $500 if lawmakers don’t address a looming crisis, according to an analysis.
Social Security’s retirement trust fund is projected to become insolvent in 2032, an August 2025 letter from the Social Secutiy Administration’s (SSA) Office of the Chief Actuary read. At that point, the rules of the Social Security Act would make the agency unable to pay full scheduled benefits and require an across-the-board 24% reduction, according to a Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget analysis released Wednesday. The average beneficiary nationwide would lose approximately $500 per month, with retirees
Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden gave an update on former President Joe Biden’s cancer on Saturday, saying that though the 83-year-old will live with cancer for the rest of his life, he maintains a busy schedule, but has slowed down.
Biden explained during a discussion with political commentator and “The View” co-host Ana Navarro for her new book “View From the East Wing: A Memoir,” that while her husband was still president and had a team of doctors, she mentioned that he was getting up seven times a night to go to the bathroom, and she assumed that someone would follow up on that.
Probably the strangest paragraph in the New York Times ‘sneak preview’ write-up of the Obama Library that some people are calling the Obamalisk because of its general ugliness and ominous blot on the Chicago skyline. More creative folks have compared it to a “Klingon prison”, a “Stalinist vertical gulag” and the Dorian Grey picture of the state of Obama’s soul. And things aren’t that much more cheerful on the inside.
So many people who have visited the Obama museum in its “soft launch” have cried that the staff has left out boxes of tissues. “Lots of tears,” said Valerie Jarrett, the chief executive officer of the Obama Foundation. “Lots of tears.”
For years, Denver was one of America's great success stories. Drawn by its snow-capped mountain backdrop, thriving economy and coveted outdoor lifestyle, thousands of Americans flocked to Colorado's capital during and after the pandemic. Home prices surged, cranes filled the skyline and developers raced to keep up with demand. Today, the picture looks dramatically different. Downtown office towers sit eerily empty. Storefronts remain vacant.
Here we go again.
If you have been following the race for mayor of Los Angeles, you have probably noticed that Spencer Pratt’s lead is slowly being eroded and Nithya Raman, the far left Democratic Socialist (communist) candidate keeps gaining.
The explanation for this is very simple. It’s fraud. Raman is benefiting from the state’s system of mail-in ballots, which SOMEHOW always benefits the left. Isn’t it fascinating how ballots that are tabulated after the election always benefit just one side?
NBC News recently admitted this on the air, without a hint of irony.
Democrat Senator has been funding left-wing

The political committee of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy — himself well versed in the "Resistance" talking points against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — is dedicated to resisting President Donald Trump and has funded a prominent left-wing nonprofit that has been at the center of highly organized, “mass mobilization” anti-ICE protests around the country.
Murphy’s newly rebranded Political Action Committee, American Mobilization, donated $100,000 last year to Indivisible, a progressive movement and organization formed in the wake of Trump’s first election in 2016 and dedicated to resisting the Trump agenda, Federal Election Commission records for the PAC show.
Donald Trump slammed Barack Obama's new $850 million presidential library, with a photoshopped prediction that it would be surrounded by homeless camps within ten years.
A 'giant trash can' is just one of the unflattering comparisons the new center has been called ahead of its opening on the South Side of Chicago on June 19.
And Trump weighed in by posting a photo of the library with a garbage bag on top and homeless encampments surrounding it to Truth Social on Saturday.
Trump wrote over the AI-generated image: 'The Barack Hussein Obama Library, in 10 years, when fully matured!'
I remember the scene on the Senate floor. The occasion was the vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act—Obamacare. It came down to John McCain, who hated Donald Trump with a burning passion eclipsing common Trump Derangement Syndrome. As one of his final acts on this Earth, McCain, aping every corrupt, movie Roman Emperor, raised his thumb and ominously, slowly, grinning like an evil lunatic, turned it thumbs down. Obamacare—arguably Obama’s most expensive destructive legacy-- was saved, and not because it has ever worked. McCain saved it out of spite.
That was only one of Obama’s destructive legacies. Jon Gabriel’s classic Twitter post sums up another:
McDonald's customers could soon find themselves placing orders with an AI system. The chain is currently piloting an AI-powered drive-thru ordering platform called ArchIQ at five US locations. The effort falls under a broader brand initiative known as McDonald's Next, which was unveiled earlier this week. At the launch, McDonald's CEO Chris Kempczinski stated that customers shouldn't have to choose between "hospitality or speed,” per Fox Business. An X account representing a McDonald's franchisee indicated that Google is involved in the project.
The federal government's Medicaid program is paying Native American shamans in California $826 a day to perform ancient rituals such as drum circles and spiritual dances to treat drug and alcohol addicts. The alternative treatments are part of Democratic governor Gavin Newsom's embrace of "indigenous knowledge," a pseudoscience that claims Native Americans have mystical healing powers that transcend the realm of traditional medicine.
The Biden Department of Health & Human Services gave its approval in October 2024 for California to reimburse Native American "Traditional Healers" with federal Medicaid dollars to treat addicts by drawing on their innate knowledge of ancestral healing rites.
