This will continue our warm, humid, and briefly windy days until Wednesday, as we establish a strong pressure gradient between these two systems over our region. After Wednesday, this ridge of high pressure will begin to expand and slowly move off to our east, causing our winds to weaken locally, and help to push our temperatures closer to the 100-degree mark beginning this Friday, just in time for the Fourth of July celebrations. Heat index values will stay between 100-105°F throughout the rest of the week, with rain chances staying very low to none this week.Continue to exercise heat precautions and safety when outdoors and take frequent breaks when possible.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-texas-weather-today-forecast-10-day-fort-worth-temperatures-june-29/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Michael Autovino","publishDate":"2026-06-30T03:39:11.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2F7b36211d-4651-439b-9af5-43e5ff5a258b%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fc795d511e158660b0ddae5765ad7865b%2Fweather-2.png","slug":"above-average-temperatures-high-winds-expected-throughout-workweek-in-north-texas"},{"id":"2em9g9","title":"Preston Hollow residents oppose proposed $800 million mixed-use development in Dallas, survey reveals","excerpt":"It's called a blue card survey.

But some residents in the Preston Hollow neighborhood of Dallas believe it could be their ace in the hole and their fight against the proposed development. The 2019 tornado left a trail of destruction in North Dallas, including Victor Toledo's home. He said been able to rebuild along with others in his neighborhood.But he says one area is still an eyesore. \"It's become a very desirable neighborhood, other than that one corner, that one corner is still stuck six years ago with the old office buildings,\" said Toledo.That \"one corner\" he's referring to is the southwest side of Preston Road in Royal Lane.It's where developers want to build an $800 million 19-story resort hotel, apartment building, and mixed-use development.There are signs all around Preston Hollow opposing the project.A recently completed survey of residences within 500 yards of it reveals just how strong the opposition is. City of Dallas survey:258 opposed7 in favor 18 no response Margaret Chabris hopes the city's planning and zoning commission, which meets again on Aug. 6, will take the results of the survey seriously. \"It does have an impact because this is what the city wanted to know, and this is the chance that residents and property owners right here can voice their opinion; it should have a considerable impact.\"But some residents, like Toledo, believe the benefits of the development outweigh concerns about traffic and construction. \"It'll be great for the neighborhood to have that kind of amenity,\" Toledo said. \"To have hotel options, new restaurants. Now it's a vacant old building that wasn't being used much.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/preston-hollow-residents-oppose-proposed-800-million-mixed-use-development-in-dallas-survey-reveals/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"J.D.

A century-old family home swept away by Guadalupe River floodingMike Trolinger's family home has a century of history with it.\"My great-grandfather had settled on this hill,\" he said. \"This property has been in my family for 100 years. My great-aunt and great-uncle had built this house along with my grandfather.\"For Trolinger, there's nothing more familiar than the banks of the Guadalupe River. \"I learned to swim in that river, my kids learned to swim in that river,\" he said.And it's along this river where Trolinger, a San Antonio police officer, built a life. First, with the house he restored, piece by piece.\"Did all the trim and hung the doors. Did that on weekends, coming in from work from San Antonio. Did the flooring in a couple of weekends. I put a lot of blood, sweat, and equity in this house,\" he said.He eventually got another set of hands with Brenda Espinoza, a colleague who would become his wife.\"I was a dispatcher, he worked narcotics,\" she said.\"I had the house, and then she comes along and makes it a home,\" said Trolinger.A dream retirement in a dream home. From dream home to disasterBut faster than a rushing river, that dream became a nightmare when disastrous flooding hit Kerr County last summer.\"So that night, it started raining about 11 o'clock on the third,\" remembers Trolinger. \"About 4:45 a.m., a neighbor called me and said, 'You awake?' I could hear the tone in her voice, and I said, 'I am now.'\"\"I just remember being scared, not understanding what was happening, and he said we just have to get out of here,\" said Espinoza.\"We went out the back door, opened the back door, and a wall of water up to our waist had hit us, and we just held on to each other,\" said Trolinger.\"It was scary, and he just kept telling me to hold on,\" said Espinoza. They waded through waist-deep water and made it up the hill to where Trolinger's father lives. \"Within 10 minutes, we watched the whole house get enveloped in water,\" said Trolinger.Just like that, their dream was swept away. The flood couldn't stop his call to helpBut the former San Antonio officer didn't stop. Once he knew Espinoza was safe, he went back to help. He found a woman stranded on her roof. The woman's 95-year-old mother was still inside in her bed. \"She was paralyzed; she had floated. My husband went over there, broke the window, and with the help of somebody else, they got her out. He saved her life,\" said Espinoza.\"I was in law enforcement for 37 years, and those that are in law enforcement, first responders, firefighters – you don't think of yourself; you think of your neighbors, and you put them first. I got her safe, I knew she was fine, and then you just go into that mode of, well, who needs help?\" said Trolinger.But who helps the helpers like Trolinger and Espinoza when the water recedes? Community Foundation helps rebuild more than just a house\"I just remember coming down here and just seeing the devastation. Just seeing our stuff everywhere,\" said Espinoza, \"The next day, me and Mike standing out there going 'What do we do, where do we start?'\"That's where the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country stepped in.\"The donor dollars that have come in to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund are rebuilding homes, not houses,\" said Jayne Zirkel, the Chief Marketing Officer with the foundation. Eight months after the flood, Trolinger and Espinoza's nightmare turned into something they never expected: a $200,000 remodel of Trolinger's family home, complete at no cost to them.\"If it wasn't for that, I mean I could have done it, but I would have been in debt for the rest of my life,\" said Trolinger, \"It's nice coming home and putting your feet down and going, 'We're home.'\"\"We're home,\" Espinoza repeated. Espinoza and Trolinger are just one of the families back in their own home; the Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country has put 54 families back in their original home, and another 53 are on their way.

The recent Frisco High School grad says it's been difficult to reach them after twin earthquakes killed more than 1,700 people and displaced thousands. \"They lost communication completely,\" she said. \"I think yesterday they don't have electricity. So, it was pretty harsh. They lost their houses and there are a lot of kids there. There's no water right.\"While she waits for answers, she and local volunteers have started a donation drive. Using her trucking business, she's collecting supplies. \"She's driving all around and when they say we have something to give - she goes and schedules the pickup,\" Hispanohablantes' Alma Juarez said. Over the weekend, they collected a lot of clothes and now say they're looking for essentials, items like bottled water, canned goods, and medicine. The group plans to ship the items to Venezuela. They're also looking for someone willing to donate a storage unit to help organize supplies.Over the weekend, Venezuelan families gathered in Frisco to pray, with city leaders joining them in support. \"We have residents in Frisco who are hurting and are concerned and have family that they can't get in touch with,\" Frisco City Councilwoman Ann Anderson said. \"They're part of our family here in Frisco.\"\"It really touched my heart that people from everywhere came and supported Venezuela,\" Ng said.Ng says she hopes Venezuelans know they're not alone.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/north-texas-community-group-hispanohablantes-gathers-items-to-help-venezuelans-recover-from-deadly-earthquakes/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Erin Jones","publishDate":"2026-06-30T03:26:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2Fe50e2e8f-a2ec-4547-ae90-42d86cf83d79%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F99e6dcf53e4b13817a85eaa3c5ecfe37%2Fcbsn-fusion-venezuela-earthquake-death-toll-keeps-climbing-voices-pierce-through-the-rubble-thumbnail.jpg","slug":"north-texas-community-group-hispanohablantes-gathers-items-to-help-venezuelans-recover-from-deadly-e"},{"id":"js679k","title":"Long lost North Texas brothers reunite after 58 years","excerpt":"Kurt Carroll, by some estimates, was sitting at the right place at the right time when someone asked him the right questions: \"Aren't you adopted?

Did you ever find your biological parents?'The 58-year-old retired Dallas Police Department officer recalls sitting in a courtroom with his daughter and a coworker, who tagged along with her father to court sometimes.\"I was adopted in Dallas. I was born in Dallas Osteopathic Hospital,\" Carroll said. \"And I said, I was picked up at Sears and Roebuck right down the street here.\"A lifetime search for answers begins with a sealed adoption fileHis coworker got him to a sealed file. The judge who could help him was one courtroom over. Carroll made his case to the judge, gained his favor, and began his journey looking for his parents. His adoptive family, he said, never hid his past from him.A little detective work on Facebook and other signs, like his son's unrelated search on an ancestry site, yielded, \"Dad, you know anyone named Rossing? It says we're related to them.\" Carroll had discovered who he believed were his siblings. One in particular works at the Benbrook Fire Department.A sticky note leads to a life-changing family reunionOver the last year, he's tried multiple times, half a dozen or so, to reach out here to no avail. Ultimately, giving up, telling the secretary to \"Give him my number and tell him to call me, please,\" Assistant Fire Chief Chris Rossing said.Rossing said he kept missing Carroll. Finally, he saw a sticky on his door with Carroll's name, number and \"Please call.\" So, he did, thinking a citizen might have a complaint. Instead, it was a Terrell-raised man who said, \"I wanted to tell you this in person.\"\"He was like, 'This is Chief Rossing. I was told I needed to call you,'\" said Carroll. \"So, I just kinda led into the deal and asked did he know these people? And he said, 'I know both of them. They're my parents.' And I was like, 'They're my parents too, apparently.'\"Dallas man discovers long-lost siblings after decades of searchingRossing, who is a twin, was the oldest of the brothers and sisters he knew about. His brother, Tony, works in the restaurant industry. They have a sister and step-siblings. \"I mean, what he said went in and out of my head. And then it took me a minute to realize, wait, what did he just say?\" Rossing said. \"So I questioned him, 'what did you just tell me?' And he had to repeat it. And I was just dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.\"The assistant fire chief said he had no reason for disbelief. His twin, Tony, is so accustomed to the rhythm and connectivity twins have that after 58 years a new older brother is going to take some getting used to.\"I'm still am trying to [absorb] it all and take it all in and learn it. It's fascinating. It's going to be very interesting to go down this road,\" Tony Rossing said.From strangers to brothers: a new family bond beginsCarroll said he wants to know about his biological family's history, and he sees what this means to his brothers. However, if he doesn't get any answers, he has an existing family who continues to love him. The newly found brothers had not shared the discovery with their father, who is in Fort Worth and described as estranged. But, the retired officer has started building bridges with his twin brothers.\"When he [the assistant chief] invited me to his house, and I go up, and I knock on the door, and he opens the door, it's like, 'Holy moly,'\" Carroll said.Rossing said others have cast a lot more doubt than he has. \"When I saw him, I was like, he's definitely got my genetics. There's no way this guy is not related to me,\" Rossing, \"It's so good now because it's so unexpected and such a welcome surprise that no regrets at all.\"

Trejo, who plays for Club Sport Maritimo La Guaira, a second-division team in Venezuela, had searched for his wife Yanina and children Aaron and Ainhoa in the rubble for three days before rescue workers recovered their bodies, CNN reported. \"Club Sport Maritimo La Guaira deeply mourns the irreparable loss of our player's wife and children,\" the team said in a post on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of the family.\"Peace to their souls and comfort for Lucas and all his loved ones,\" the team wrote in a post on X. Trejo, 38, was at a team training camp in Caracas when the quakes of magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck on Wednesday evening, and immediately returned to his home in La Guaira — the state worst hit by the disaster — to \"a horrific scene,\" Trejo's brother-in-law Ricardo Ardiles told CNN Espanol. \"He found absolutely nothing of what the building itself had been,\" Ardiles said.The wife and two children of Argentine footballer Lucas Trejo died after powerful twin earthquakes struck Venezuela, his team said on Sunday.\n \n Instagram/Lucas Trejo\n\n More than 1,700 people have died and tens of thousands are still unaccounted for, Venezuelan authorities said Monday.Race to find survivorsOver the weekend, a mother and her 9-month-old baby were pulled from the rubble of a collapsed building in Venezuela by a U.S. search and rescue team. Virginia Urban Search and Rescue Task Force 1 shared a video of its members pulling a woman from the rubble of a collapsed building. Neighbors cheered as she was pulled from the wreckage. Another video, shared by the U.S. State Department, showed the baby being removed from the rubble wrapped in blue fabric. The baby's face was blurred, but it could be heard crying. Venezuelans have reported seeing few state rescue teams in the hardest-hit areas, though acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the Venezuelan government was mounting a full response. The government of Caracas said Saturday that about 200 people had been rescued. But online databases say about 51,000 remain missing.In La Guaira, a woman named Diana Sandrano told CBS News that she will search for her missing brother \"as long as it takes.\" \"He deserves to live and have a future,\" Sandrano said, after a day of searching.

But after decades of living in the home, this family of five was recently torn apart.\"It was just sad seeing them go,\" said their other daughter, Brisa Granados Rojas. \"I wasn't able to give them a last hug.\"Family stopped by THP troopers during trip to college graduationOn May 19, the Granados Rojas family was on their way to El Paso to celebrate their daughter's college graduation from the University of Texas at El Paso. While driving through Taylor County, they were stopped by state troopers for not having a front license plate. Jennifer said the troopers then asked to see the entire family's documentation.\"After providing the documentation, after another long time, we saw a truck pull up, it seemed like an unmarked car, but it was like ICE… Border Patrol and they asked my dad to step out of the car,\" Jennifer Granados Rojas said.Parents detained by CBP immigration agentsTheir dad, Jorge Granados Rojas, was detained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Shortly after, their mom, Esperanza Granados Rojas, was also taken into custody — leaving their 16-year-old son without a parent at home.\"I'm angry that this had to happen, I'm sad that I don't know when I'm going to see my parents or if I'm ever going to see my parents again,\" Brisa Granados Rojas said. A CBP agent at the scene said that while the couple entered the country legally, they were detained for not having valid visas.\"They are going to have two options, they can either go back voluntarily, and I'll put them on a bus tomorrow, or if they're going to fight their case, I'm going to guess they are going to fight their case, then I'll put them on the same bus, and they are going to go to a detention center in Pearsall, Texas,\" said an unidentified CBP agent during the incident.ICE says parents overstayed their tourist visasA U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesperson said that the couple \"overstayed their tourist visas\" and \"presented expired driver's licenses\" when they were pulled over, subjecting them to removal proceedings. The couple is currently in ICE custody awaiting their court hearing, leaving the responsibility of their teenage son to their daughters. Their daughters are DACA recipients, and their son is a U.S. citizen.\"I think he's still in shock,\" said Jennifer Granados Rojas, regarding her brother. \"He won't share a lot of his feelings, and so it's hard not knowing what he's feeling.\"Family attorney and experts say the arrests reflect policy shiftsThe Trump administration has said it is primarily targeting immigrants who are in the country illegally and have criminal records, but the Dallas County Sheriff's Office found no prior criminal record for either of the parents. The couple's attorney, Tessy Ortiz, said this is a family that has positively contributed to society.\"They have been here for more than 10 years, in the U.S. They have good moral character, no crimes, they pay taxes, they don't lie on their taxes, they are hardworking, and they have minor children,\" said Ortiz. \"They are not just numbers, they are families, they are human beings, and they are good human beings.\"DPS defends cooperation with immigration enforcementA Texas Department of Public Safety spokesperson said it's standard procedure for state troopers to collaborate with federal law enforcement, even if an individual has no criminal record.\"It's not unusual. It happened even under other administrations. What is a little different under this administration is the extent to which local law enforcement is getting involved in finding those families, those individuals that have been here for years without status, and then turning them over to immigration,\" said Denise Gilman, a University of Texas School of Law professor. TxDPS confirmed it has always worked with immigration agencies, but added that \"in recent months, these agencies have been increasingly responsive\" to the department's calls for assistance. Gilman said most undocumented immigrants are not a security threat and shouldn't be an enforcement priority.\"Then they create a breach with the community, and it actually makes their job harder to protect public safety because members of the community are less likely to come forward when crimes are committed,\" Gilman said.Daughters left waiting, fearing family will be separated foreverAs the Granados Rojas daughters reminisce on the good times, they're left waiting and wondering whether their parents will be deported — not knowing if they'll ever be a family of five again.\"I pray to God that I'm able to see my parents, and that they get out just fine,\" Brisa Granados Rojas said. Jorge Granados Rojas' immigration court date is set for Tuesday. Esperanza Granados Rojas' is at the end of June. If the parents are deported and other family members already in the U.S. don't intervene, experts say the 16-year-old son could end up in the foster care system.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-parents-detained-by-ice-expired-visas-leave-behind-son/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Marissa Armas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:53:08.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2025%2F06%2F09%2Fdd9ad825-e8d2-4306-ae2e-aafd58441114%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F82002234181c74a87a02fd767fe790db%2Fsnapshot-2025-06-09t172936-180.jpg","slug":"dallas-familys-graduation-trip-turns-into-immigration-nightmare-as-parents-are-detained-by-ice"},{"id":"jzcqz8","title":"Fort Worth neighbor shoots, kills machete-wielding man who was allegedly dragging woman down street, police say","excerpt":"A neighbor shot and killed a man who was dragging a woman while armed with a machete, the Fort Worth Police Department said.

According to FWPD, at about 10:20 p.m. Sunday, officers responded to a call concerning a person with a weapon in the 2900 block of Ross Avenue. When officers arrived, they found a man suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead. After speaking with witnesses, officers learned that the man was involved in a verbal and physical argument with a woman and dragged her down the street while being armed with a machete. Witnesses told police that the woman was screaming for help, and one neighbor came outside to tell the man to stop. Police said the man who witnesses said was dragging the woman then approached that neighbor while he was still armed with the machete, and the neighbor shot him at least once. That's when witnesses called 911, and the neighbor stayed at the scene to be interviewed by homicide detectives, officials confirmed. At this time, no arrest has been made, and the names of those involved have not been released. This is a developing story. We'll update as more information becomes available.

But as far as dreaming about coaching in the NBA, I never dreamed of coaching in the NBA, of coaching college, of coaching anywhere other than just being a coach in high school in my state. So as far as a dream, no, this wasn't a dream. But now, I've been preparing for this, to go against the best, for a long time.\"May spoke with the new president of basketball operations, Masai Ujiri, to his left on a stage on the practice court of the club's arena. His wife and three boys were in the first row, with reigning Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg right behind them.May brings Michigan championship experience to Dallas Also in the crowd was Morez Johnson Jr., drafted No. 9 overall last week by the Mavericks as the first of three Michigan players taken in a span of four lottery selections.Yaxel Lendeborg, the No. 11 choice before Aday Mara went one pick later, had jokingly accused May of playing favorites with Johnson. May has no problem with that characterization now.\"I'm on Rez's team now, so he's definitely my favorite,\" said May, who reiterated new general manager Mike Schmitz's message on draft night that May had little to do with Dallas picking Johnson. \"Those guys, they had some friendly banter with all that. But the beautiful part of it, there was never any envy. These guys were each other's biggest fans. And that's one thing that we want to bring here to the Dallas Mavericks.\"May is replacing Jason Kidd, who was let go two weeks after Ujiri was hired. The Mavericks have missed the playoffs the past two seasons after reaching the 2024 NBA Finals behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.The landscape shifted suddenly with the shocking trade of Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2025. Nico Harrison, the engineer of that middle-of-the-night deal, was fired as general manager in November with the team off to a slow start last season.Mavericks enter new era under May, Ujiri leadershipUjiri didn't come on board until after Dallas finished with a 26-56 record, its worst since losing 58 games the season before getting Doncic, the third overall pick in 2018.Schmitz was hired days after Ujiri's introduction, and with the coaching staff complete, the Mavericks have wrapped up 17 months of upheaval by finishing the move into a new era.\"We want to bring joy back to basketball here,\" Ujiri said. \"It is a goal and I know we're going to do it and I know the beginning of this joy and this goal starts here with this guy that we welcome as our basketball coach.\"Flagg is the centerpiece of a roster that includes two veterans with NBA championship pedigrees in Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson. Irving missed all of last season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in March 2025, a month after the Doncic trade.Johnson has a chance to contribute to a frontcourt that includes 2023 first-round pick Dereck Lively II, whose career has been plagued by injuries, fellow center Daniel Gafford and forward P.J. Washington Jr.Irving improves the outlook of the backcourt considerably, and the Mavericks on Monday exercised their 2026-27 contract option on point guard Ryan Nembhard, an undrafted rookie a year ago.Flagg played plenty of point guard early in his only season under Kidd and has said he'll be better for it if he settles into a more familiar role as a wing or small forward.\"We have some really unique pieces,\" May said. \"Masai said, we're here to win. When you have the nucleus we have, you can figure out a way to overachieve until you become the best team.\"Seven years ago, another Michigan coach — John Beilein — made the jump to the NBA but didn't last one season. May has the advantage of his two seasons with the Wolverines coming in the era of players being paid for name, image and likeness.May, who also led Florida Atlantic to its only Final Four appearance, sees \"similar problems, similar issues, similar challenges\" in college and pro games that are \"closer than ever.\" He also sees limits to his advantage.\"It's like being a parent,\" May said. \"You're never prepared, you're never ready. But hopefully you've prepared and done everything in your power to tackle all the challenges.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dusty-may-never-imagined-coaching-in-nba-but-says-he-prepared-for-jump-to-mavs-from-college/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T23:44:16.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2Ff88a5f1a-a91a-4fa7-a559-c7b0d2bc6bda%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F33293c5c8436c86268858398bb3c7e75%2Fap26180711890618.jpg","slug":"dusty-may-introduced-as-new-dallas-mavericks-head-coach-says-hes-ready-for-nba-challenge"},{"id":"uooz04","title":"Mabank mourns loss of Fire Chief Charlie Woodard after a truck hit him while directing rodeo traffic","excerpt":"Over the weekend, the town of Mabank lost a pillar of the community.

Fire Chief Charlie Woodard was struck and killed while directing traffic outside a community rodeo on Saturday night.\n \n City of Mabank\n\n The Texas Department of Public Safety said it was called to a vehicle vs pedestrian crash on US Business 175 and County Road 4006 around 10:30 p.m. According to the report, while directing traffic near the rodeo grounds, Woodard stepped into the westbound lane of US Business 175 and was hit by a Chevrolet pickup truck. He was taken to a hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. Many in the community say they are at a loss for words, still wrapping their heads around the fact that someone they are used to seeing out and about is no longer here.\"He definitely was a man who served his community with a purpose and a passion,\" said community member Marina Boulware. \"He was genuine, he had kindness, and he just didn't matter what kind of day you were having. Charlie was going to try and make you laugh.\"Woodard served many roles: he was a former police officer, a baseball coach, a husband and a father. His wife is pregnant and due any day now with their third child.\"I'm praying,\" said Ailish Haney, a friend of Woodard. \"I will constantly be praying anytime I think of his name or I think of the family or their babies. So it hit really close to home for me, too.\"Texas DPS said the driver of the Chevy truck was not injured.

Representatives Matt Shaheen of Prosper and Jeff Leach of Allen are from Collin County, Paxton's home turf. \"I think the Republican voters spoke loud and clear that they preferred Ken Paxton,\" said Shaheen. \"He won overwhelmingly in the primary. We need to motivate our base, make sure that the Republican base gets out. Ken Paxton has clearly demonstrated that he can get our Republican base out. So, we look forward to helping him out and doing everything we can to get him and all of our awesome Republican candidates across the goal line.\"\"Primaries are a time for us to pick our roster, to pick our candidates, to kind of have our family fights if you will,\" said Leach. \"But once the slate is chosen, which the voters of Texas have done, it's incumbent upon us and for all Republicans to get out and support the ticket from the top to the bottom. So, it's never a question for me. We know who our candidates are headed into November, and we're going to do everything we can to make sure every single one of them, from the top to the bottom, is elected.\"Shaheen and Leach were among the 60 House Republicans who voted to impeach the Attorney General in May 2023. Leach was also an impeachment manager who spoke during Paxton's trial in the Senate. The Attorney General had been at odds with them ever since. Paxton was acquitted on all articles and strongly denied any wrongdoing. The Attorney General then campaigned against Shaheen and Leach in their respective Republican primaries. When asked if they had spoken with Paxton recently, Leach said, \"I've reached out, and I haven't heard back yet. But I'm hopeful that he'll contact me soon.\" Shaheen said, \"I had a brief conversation with Attorney General Paxton. It was brief. He's busy as you can imagine. He's hard to get a hold of. But we had the opportunity to speak just for a couple of minutes, and we committed to support each other and told him that me, and all the Republican representatives in Collin County, are going to do everything we can to get him across the goal line.\" \"We're talking about having a big get-out-the-vote event,\" Shaheen added. \"So, it was a brief conversation, but it was really positive. We're united to make sure our entire slate wins in November.\"Paxton's campaign advisor, Nick Maddux, sent CBS News Texas a statement, saying, \"We are grateful for the support of State Representatives Shaheen and Leach. We all share the same goal: keep Texas red from the top of the ticket all the way down. We look forward to working with them to accomplish that goal.\" Both Shaheen and Leach have blasted Talarico's past votes and statements and said they hope Cornyn's supporters will vote for Paxton in November. \"I've heard of some that plan to maybe just not vote in the race,\" said Leach. \"That in and of itself is a vote for Talarico.\" \"Ken Paxton stands strong in protecting women's privacy,\" said Shaheen. He stands strong in protecting our jobs and our economy. He's clearly the person to vote for this November.\"The stakes are very high in the Senate race. The four most recent independent polls on the Texas Senate race show it's a dead heat between Paxton and Talarico. The average of those polls taken between June 1 and June 21 shows Paxton leads Talarico by 1.3 percentage points, 45.8% - 44.5%. The Cook Political Report rates this race as \"Lean Republican.\" This week's full episode can be found below:Watch Eye On Politics at 7:30 Sunday morning on CBS News Texas on air and streamingFollow Jack on X and Instagram: @cbs11jack ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/two-republican-lawmakers-endorsed-john-cornyn-now-back-ken-paxton-texas-senate-race/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jack Fink","publishDate":"2026-06-29T22:47:03.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F26%2F4892af00-cd22-4ee7-8268-6029f27b786f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa8c96df1b73351634648b78c500eaa84%2Fcbsn-fusion-what-national-implications-cornyn-paxton-race-texas-thumbnail.jpg","slug":"republican-representatives-from-ag-paxtons-home-turf-originally-campaigned-against-him-explain-why-t"},{"id":"ln3yre","title":"Dallas begins cleanup at Trinity River illegal dump site","excerpt":"The city of Dallas has started a massive cleanup of an illegal dumpsite along the Trinity River after police arrested a man for running a dumping scheme on the property he allegedly stole with a forged deed.","content":"The city of Dallas has started a massive cleanup of an illegal dumpsite along the Trinity River after police arrested a man for running a dumping scheme on the property he allegedly stole with a forged deed.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-begins-cleanup-trinity-river-illegal-dump-site","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Lori.Brown@fox.com (Lori Brown)","publishDate":"2026-06-29T22:46:42.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F062926-trinity-river-dumping-qt-530-pkg_kdfw7dfa_1_00.00.13.08.jpg","slug":"dallas-begins-cleanup-at-trinity-river-illegal-dump-site"},{"id":"vgzzxj","title":"GOP Reps from AG Paxton's home turf originally campaigned against him, now they back him, here's why","excerpt":"Representatives Matt Shaheen of Prosper and Jeff Leach of Allen are from Collin County, Attorney General Ken Paxton's home turf.

One of the biggest decisions involves birthright citizenship, which is expected to come down on Tuesday.Immigration attorneys like Tessy Ortiz are trying to keep up with the drastic immigration decisions that continue to come down from the U.S. Supreme Court.\"It's very, very stressful, not only for our clients, for us to keep up with all the changes,\" said Ortiz. \"Everything changes so fast, and we have to give the best advice to our clients. So, we are, yes, we live in an alert mode right now.\"Last week, the high court ruled that immigration officials can continue turning away migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. The practice was introduced under the Obama administration and later expanded during President Trump's first term, after an increase in asylum seekers arriving at the U.S. border. \"That is a decision that basically affects people that are outside the U.S and want to come in to request asylum,\" said Ortiz. \"It is not affecting people already in the U.S.\"The court also allowed the Trump administration to end Temporary Protected Status for Haitian and Syrian refugees, a decision that could soon lead to thousands of deportations.\"It's a victory for the executive branch as well,\" Ortiz said.Tuesday, the court is also expected to make a decision on the president's executive order restricting birthright citizenship, which grants U.S citizenship to any person born in the country, regardless of their parents' immigration status. It's a big decision, leaving immigration advocates, attorneys like Ortiz, nervous about the future.\"It's for future births, but it is going to have a huge impact on hospitals. For example, how are they going to determine who is a citizen and who is not a citizen,\" said Ortiz. \"This is going to be tough. This is going to be massive.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/u-s-supreme-court-poised-to-rule-birthright-citizenship/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Marissa

De la Espriella narrowly won Sunday's runoff by less than a percentage point and has pledged to use a heavy hand on crime when he takes office in August. In his first cabinet announcement, the millionaire lawyer named Rodrigo Lara as his interior minister. \"He who NEVER, despite having been a victim of violence, stopped working for his homeland,\" De la Espriella said in a social media post accompanied by an AI-generated video. The incoming minister's father, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, was serving as justice minister in 1984 when he was gunned down in Bogota on Escobar's orders.In a 2021 social media post, Lara noted his father's assassination.\"He fought and died alone, knowing he was going to be killed. He never wavered; he never yielded to the power of the worst criminals,\" Lara wrote. \"His sacrifice was an act of supreme love for Colombia—an act of faith and hope.\"\n \n Hace 37 años fue asesinado mi padre, Rodrigo Lara Bonilla, cuando tenía 37 años de edadLuchó y murió solo, sabiendo que lo iban a matar. Nunca se amilanó, nunca cedió al poder de los peores criminalesSu sacrificio fue un acto amor supremo por Colombia, de fe y esperanza. pic.twitter.com/1TBKPbBD5X— Rodrigo Lara (@Rodrigo_Lara_) April 30, 2021\n\n\n \n\n The notorious drug baron's forces were engaged in open confrontation with the state at the time, in an effort to prevent cartel members' extradition to the United States. Lara, who was eight years old when his father was killed, subsequently went into exile in Europe with the rest of his family, and spent several years away before returning to Colombia. \"We will forge a major agreement on the fundamental things that unite us,\" the lawyer and former senator wrote on X. Lara previously served as former hardline president Alvaro Uribe's anti-corruption czar. As a lawmaker, he promoted policies related to the historic peace accord with the now-defunct rebel army FARC -- an agreement De la Espriella now virulently criticizes. The president-elect told AFP during the campaign he wants to bomb the country's myriad armed groups and construct \"mega-prisons.\"Right-wing millionaire backed by TrumpThe newly elected president, whose business ventures include a clothing line, wine and rum brands, and a restaurant, earned President Trump's endorsement despite never having run for office. He defeated progressive lawmaker Iván Cepeda by 1 percentage point, or more than 251,000 votes.The result effectively was an indictment of outgoing President Gustavo Petro's government, whose policies Cepeda had promised to continue, including a largely failed effort to establish dialogue with multiple armed groups.Studies have found that Petro's attempted peace negotiation policies have resulted in the expansion of power and membership of armed criminal groups. Cepeda had participated in and continued throughout the campaign to promote negotiations with guerrillas and cartels. The issue has been particularly salient for low-income families living near fields of coca, the shrub used to make cocaine, as human rights organizations documented more than 50 massacres in Colombia just this year.De la Espriella's victory adds Colombia to a growing list of countries that have turned to political outsiders in search of solutions to complex social, security and economic challenges.Similar to Mr. Trump, de la Espriella was seen as a combative political outsider. He got into multiple clashes many considered disrespectful, especially with women journalists, during the campaign. He was also known for using pyrotechnics during his campaign events.Historically, Colombia has been the United States' top ally in counternarcotics and one of its most important trade partners in the Western Hemisphere. But U.S.-Colombia relations deteriorated sharply under Petro. In 2025, Mr. Trump formally determined that Colombia had \"failed demonstrably\" in its counternarcotics commitments and threatened military strikes on the country's land.

The remaining assets, which will remain under the Comcast name, will include Xfinity, Xfinity Wireless and Comcast Business. NBCUniversal includes the NBC and Telemundo TV networks; Universal film and television studios; streaming platform Peacock; Bravo cable network; and a theme parks division.Like other cable companies, Comcast has in recent years shifted away from traditional cable toward streaming and other revenue sources, such as its movie studio, theme parks and home wireless and internet services.\"Comcast shares have traded poorly due in large part to concerns about the secular outlook for the broadband and cable businesses,\" Wall Street analyst Adam Crisafulli, head of Vital Knowledge, said Monday in a research note.The new NBCUniversal spinoff will include \"an attractive mix of assets, including the theme parks and Universal film/TV studio ... and should presumably have more flexibility to participate in the industry's aggressive wave of M&A,\" he wrote. But, Crisafulli added, \"Worries about the broadband business outlook won't go away, and if anything, this deal will leave that unit more exposed.\"The planned move comes after Comcast announced in November 2024 that it was spinning off cable networks such as USA, Oxygen, E!, SYFY and Golf Channel, as well as CNBC and MSNBC into a new company. Movie ticketing platform Fandango and the Rotten Tomatoes movie rating site were also included. Vikash Harlalka, an analyst with New Street Research, said that spinning off NBCUniversal and Sky will position Comcast to pursue mergers and acquisitions. \"On the cable side, the most obvious transaction is a merger between Comcast and Charter. Charter should also trade up on this news,\" he told investors in a research note. \"On the media side, we think any of the media assets out there are fair game for some permutation given the need for scale.\"Leadership of the new companiesComcast co-CEO Mike Cavanagh will become the CEO of NBCUniversal. Comcast's former chief financial officer, Michael Angelakis, will become the CEO of Comcast following completion of the separation. In the interim, he will serve as a strategic adviser. Comcast chairman and co-CEO Brian Roberts will continue to be actively involved in the leadership of Comcast and NBCUniversal, working in partnership with the CEOs of both companies.Comcast will retain a 19.9% ownership stake in NBCUniversal, the statement said. The transaction is expected to be completed in about 12 months. Once the transaction is complete, Comcast stockholders will own shares in both Comcast and NBCUniversal.

Park and city leaders revealed details about the project on Monday morning, which will expand the park to 7.1 acres.The park, which opened in 2012, connects Uptown Dallas with the Arts District over a recessed portion of Woodall Rodgers Freeway. The construction will span west to cover the remaining portion of the freeway, totaling 1.7 acres of new park space, according to the plans released Monday. It will feature the Jacobs Lawn, a 37,000-square-foot green space that can be used for all types of community gatherings, performances and markets. In the winter, the lawn will feature an ice rink. Next to the lawn, the Overlook will give visitors a view of the highway traffic below them.Rendering of the Jacobs Lawn\n \n HKS\n\n The expansion will also include a two-story pavilion with 24,000 square feet of climate-controlled event space, plus a rooftop terrace. \"This expansion isn't simply about adding acreage. It's an investment in Dallas, an investment in the community and an investment in future generations,\" Klyde Warren Park chairman Jody Grant said in a statement.\n \n Klyde Warren Park\n\n \"The expansion of this Park is exactly the kind of transformative investment we must continue to make throughout Dallas's urban core. It will add new green space for residents to enjoy while driving continued economic growth, connecting our communities, and enhancing the quality of life that makes Dallas a destination for families, businesses, and visitors from around the world,\" Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson said in a statement.Construction firm Archer Western won a competitive bid to work on the project, the same firm that built the first phase of the park.

Republican National Committee, the high court split 5 to 4 in finding that Mississippi's measure does not conflict with federal statutes that set Election Day as the Tuesday after the first Monday in November in certain years.Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the majority opinion, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the three liberal justices to uphold Mississippi's law. \"The Framers recognized the difficulty of crafting election laws 'applicable to every probable change in the situation of the country.' So instead of constitutionalizing election law, they decided that 'a discretionary power over elections' needed to be lodged 'somewhere,'\" Barrett wrote. \"Suffice it to say, that power was not lodged in this Court. The election-day statutes say nothing about ballot receipt, and we cannot add to the words Congress chose.\" Federal election laws requires the electorate to make its choice on Election Day, she said, which happens as long as that is the deadline for voting, like it is in Mississippi.\"But the election-day statutes do not set a deadline for ballot receipt, so they do not prevent Mississippi from counting ballots postmarked before election day yet received afterward,\" she said.With the November midterm elections just months away, the case threatened to upend similar laws in more than a dozen states that allow ballots that are postmarked by, but arrive after, Election Day to be tallied. President Trump frequently criticizes mail voting, claiming without evidence that it leads to election fraud, and he has attempted to unilaterally curtail the practice. His administration backed the challenge to Mississippi's law brought by the RNC, arguing that Election Day is the day the ballot box closes, and when election officials must have all ballots.In response to the Supreme Court's decision, Mr. Trump urged Congress to pass legislation called the SAVE America Act. The bill would impose stringent voting rules, including eliminating mail ballots, with some exceptions, and set voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements.\"There is no excuse for a politician, or otherwise, to be against the above three requirements,\" he wrote in a Truth Social post.Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch, a Republican, urged state lawmakers to eliminate the post-Election Day deadline for mail ballots.\"With the bedrock constitutional principle of federalism now affirmed, I am hopeful that the Mississippi Legislature will take this opportunity to amend the law and require absentee ballots be received on the same day ballots are cast at the polling place,\" she said in a statement. \"President Trump is right to prioritize improving public trust in our elections.\"All 50 states require ballots to be marked and submitted by the day of the election. But in 14 states and the District of Columbia, election officials will accept and count mail ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but received after that day. Twenty-nine states and D.C. allow at least some military and overseas ballots to be received after Election Day.Under the Mississippi law at issue in the case, ballots received up to five days after the election are tallied so long as they were postmarked by Election Day.The case is one of four involving elections that the Supreme Court heard in its current term. In January, the court revived a Republican congressman's lawsuit that challenged Illinois' law for counting late-arriving ballots, though its decision was procedural. The Supreme Court's conservative majority also weakened a key provision of the Voting Rights Act, setting off a redistricting scramble in some Southern states just as primary season got underway.The high court is also weighing a significant campaign finance case involving the legality of federal caps on the amount of money a political committee can spend in coordination with a candidate.The dispute over Mississippi's law dates back to 2024, when the Republican National Committee and Mississippi's Libertarian Party filed lawsuits challenging the ballot-receipt deadline. The parties argued that federal statutes enacted in the 1800s, which set a uniform day for the election for president and Congress, require ballots to be received by the day. Mississippi's grace period, they said, was in conflict with those laws.A U.S. district court upheld Mississippi's five-day deadline for late-arriving ballots, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit found that federal law preempts the state's law. The Supreme Court's ruling Monday reversed that decision.Since he returned to the White House, Mr. Trump has sought to exercise more control over federal elections, including through a pair of executive orders that seek to change election rules, including by tightening the rules for mail voting and requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal contests. The president has defended the measures as necessary to protect the integrity of elections, but both have been blocked by the courts from taking effect.Barrett, writing for the majority, acknowledged the concerns that some practices, like Mississippi's deadline for late-arriving ballots, may lead to the appearance of fraud. But she said any efforts to address those issues must come from either Congress or state legislatures.\"Election fraud and its appearance are serious issues. Like other such issues, however, they must be addressed through the democratic process,\" she wrote, adding, \"If varied deadlines for ballot receipt similarly call for a national solution, the American people must choose it through their elected representatives.\"But in a dissent, Justice Samuel Alito warned that the majority's decision risks undermining public trust in elections.\"Allowing absentee ballots to pour in over the days and weeks after election day, by which point preliminary election returns are being publicly reported, creates greater opportunity for fraud and risks further undermining the public's confidence in election integrity,\" he wrote.Alito was joined in his dissent by Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/supreme-court-mail-ballots-mississippi-law-watson-v-rnc/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Melissa Quinn","publishDate":"2026-06-29T18:38:17.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2F53502e0c-1131-4933-8af7-3bd6c7e59beb%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F9ca3b01a9f72429e1277ee1165a94ce1%2Fap24032053443202.jpg","slug":"supreme-court-says-states-can-count-mail-ballots-that-arrive-after-election-day"},{"id":"gyi5be","title":"1 killed in accidental shooting in Grand Prairie, 19-year-old suspect arrested","excerpt":"A 19-year-old faces a manslaughter charge after an accidental shooting inside a vehicle in Grand Prairie overnight.","content":"A 19-year-old faces a manslaughter charge after an accidental shooting inside a vehicle in Grand Prairie overnight.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/1-killed-accidental-shooting-grand-prairie","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Tracy.DeLatte@fox.com (Tracy DeLatte)","publishDate":"2026-06-28T01:27:11.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F062726-sh-gppd-shooting-macarthur-blvd_kdfw7572_18_00.30.34.40.jpg","slug":"1-killed-in-accidental-shooting-in-grand-prairie-19-year-old-suspect-arrested"},{"id":"b7y6f1","title":"Texas announces $34M AstraZeneca settlement over Medicaid scheme","excerpt":"Texas is recovering nearly $34 million from AstraZeneca to settle allegations that the pharmaceutical giant used an illegal kickback scheme to improperly influence Medicaid prescriptions.","content":"Texas is recovering nearly $34 million from AstraZeneca to settle allegations that the pharmaceutical giant used an illegal kickback scheme to improperly influence Medicaid prescriptions.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/ken-paxton-announces-34m-astrazeneca-settlement-over-medicaid-scheme","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-06-29T22:03:06.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fgettyimages-2267045829.jpg","slug":"texas-announces-34m-astrazeneca-settlement-over-medicaid-scheme"},{"id":"391mow","title":"Dallas Mavericks name Michigan's Dusty May as their next head coach","excerpt":"The Dallas Mavericks have decided on Dusty May as their next head coach, the team officially announced on Tuesday. \"I am honored to join the Dallas Mavericks organization,\" May said after the news of his hiring. \"This is one of the most respected franchises in professional sports, with passionate...","content":"The Dallas Mavericks have decided on Dusty May as their next head coach, the team officially announced on Tuesday. \"I am honored to join the Dallas Mavericks organization,\" May said after the news of his hiring. \"This is one of the most respected franchises in professional sports, with passionate fans, a talented roster, and a clear commitment to building a championship organization.

Before that, he was head coach at Florida Atlantic University from 2018 to 2024, taking the Owls to the Final Four in 2023. May has spent his entire career in the college coaching ranks.Head coach Dusty May of the Michigan Wolverines hoists the trophy after defeating the UConn Huskies 69-63.\n \n Michael Reaves / Getty Images\n\n The decision to hire May fell to Dallas Mavericks president Masai Ujiri, who took over the team last month following the firing of former GM Nico Harrison in November. Ujiri removed Jason Kidd as the Mavs head coach just over a month ago. \"We set out to find a leader who embodies the values we want to define our organization,\" Ujiri said in a statement. \"Dusty has won at every stage of his career because of his ability to build. He develops players, creates accountability, and brings people together around a shared standard of excellence.\" He also complimented May's work ethic and said all of his qualities make him a great choice to lead the Mavericks.

Johnson, now 40, said he received the diagnosis last year. He shared the news in a \"Good Morning America\" interview with Michael Strahan, a retired NFL player himself and co-anchor of the talk show. The interview aired Monday.\"If sharing my story helps even one person get diagnosed sooner, inspires more research, or gives another family hope, it's worth it,\" said Johnson.He told Strahan that doctors believe he has \"sporadic\" ALS, because there's no history of ALS in his family. The vast majority of cases — about 90% — are considered sporadic, meaning there isn't an inherited or genetic link, according to the National Institutes of Health.ALS, or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that impacts nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, severing the connection between the brain and muscles. People with the illness eventually lose their ability to walk, speak, eat and breathe, according to the ALS Association. Doctors are developing new treatments that help ease symptoms or slow down their progression, but they have not found a way to stop or cure it.Chris Johnson visits the field during the second half of an NFL football game against the New York Jets, Sunday, Sept. 15, 2024, in Nashville, Tennessee.\n \n George Walker IV / AP\n\n For Johnson, the disease progressed quickly. On \"Good Morning America,\" he used a device to speak for him, which he maneuvered with just eye movements that the machine picked up through sensors.\"Just over a year ago, I was picking up my 7-year-old daughter so she could make a wish for her birthday cake,\" said Johnson, who said the disease \"can be so shocking,\" for a number of different reasons. He appeared on \"Good Morning America\" beside his wife, Brittany Johnson, with whom he shares four children.\"All I could think about was our kids and how young they are,\" she said, recalling her response when her husband was first diagnosed. \"The life that we previously had is now a thing of the past, but we're still hopeful.\"Johnson said he initially began to notice weakness in his right hand. Symptoms started with \"little things,\" he told Strahan, \"like my grip didn't feel right and I wasn't as strong as I've always been.\"Over a 10-year NFL career, Johnson rushed for 9,651 yards, scoring 55 touchdowns on the ground for the Tennessee Titans, New York Jets and Arizona Cardinals. He is one of only nine running backs to rush for over 2,000 yards in a season, setting that mark for the Titans in 2009, when he was named Offensive Player of the Year. A first-round draft pick out of East Carolina, Johnson was a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first three years in the NFL.He said he hopes his \"Good Morning America\" interview helps debunk some assumptions people may have about ALS and those who live with it.\"First, I want people to know that I'm still me. ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn't changed who I am,\" said Johnson, adding: \"Your mind stays sharp.

Lautaro Martínez added a penalty in the 31st, and Messi scored in the 80th after entering as a second‑half substitute. The tournament's leading scorer now has six goals and extended his all‑time World Cup record to 19.Messi was one of nine starters rotated out since Argentina had already clinched Group J. He entered in the 60th minute, three days after his 39th birthday, returning to the same stadium where he broke the scoring record last Monday. He has scored in seven straight World Cup matches, breaking a tie with France's Just Fontaine and Brazil's Jairzinho for the longest streak in tournament history.Martínez, who was subbed off for Messi, and goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez were the only Argentina players to start all three group matches.Argentina, unbeaten in its last nine World Cup games with seven wins and two draws, advances to the round of 32 and will face Cape Verde on Friday in Miami, home of Messi's MLS club. This is Argentina's fifth perfect group stage and its first since 2010 and 2014. The team is 14‑2‑3 in its last 19 group matches. France and Mexico were the only other teams in the expanded 48‑nation field to finish with nine points.Jordan, ranked No. 72 in the world, lost all three matches in its World Cup debut and was outscored 8–3. Mousa Altamari scored in the 55th minute after entering at halftime.Lo Celso and Martínez both scored their first World Cup goals. Lo Celso had an earlier attempt waved off for offside, then earned the free kick after being tripped just outside the box by Mohannad Abutaha, who received a yellow card. It was Argentina's first direct free‑kick goal in a World Cup since Messi scored against Nigeria in 2014.After Martínez hit the crossbar, Julián Álvarez's follow‑up header was tipped over the net by goalkeeper Yazeed Abulaila. A VAR review showed Álvarez was kicked in the face on the play, resulting in the penalty.Nicolás Paz, who debuted as a late substitute in Argentina's opener, made his first start. Paz and Lo Celso were joined by Marcos Senesi and Giuliano Simeone in earning their first World Cup starts. Paz and Simeone are the first sons of former Argentina national team players to appear in a World Cup; both were born in Europe.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/argentina-jordan-world-cup-group-j-recap/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-28T04:36:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F28%2F7b1b5eee-9c4a-4d52-81db-6b618968e5ac%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F2f5ab23115581be4d5ab4c19fdfc7524%2Fgettyimages-2283152297.jpg","slug":"lo-celso-messi-lead-argentina-past-jordan-to-complete-perfect-group-stage"},{"id":"ijcq5n","title":"Fort Worth Walmart parking lot stabbing leaves 1 hospitalized","excerpt":"One person was hospitalized and a suspect was taken into custody following a afternoon stabbing in a Fort Worth Walmart parking lot on Clifford Street Saturday.","content":"One person was hospitalized and a suspect was taken into custody following a afternoon stabbing in a Fort Worth Walmart parking lot on Clifford Street Saturday.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/fort-worth-walmart-parking-lot-stabbing-leaves-1-hospitalized","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Tracy.DeLatte@fox.com (Tracy DeLatte)","publishDate":"2026-06-28T00:36:46.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F062726-fw-clifford-st-stabbing-lv_00.02.48.46.jpg","slug":"fort-worth-walmart-parking-lot-stabbing-leaves-1-hospitalized"},{"id":"79erlx","title":"Body of man who went under water while trying to help child at Benbrook Lake has been recovered, officials say","excerpt":"The search for a man who went missing after going underwater at Benbrook Lake over the weekend has concluded, with Texas Parks and Wildlife saying his body was recovered Monday morning.In a statement, the agency said the man was recovered around 9 a.m. by Texas Game Wardens and the U.S. Army Corp...","content":"The search for a man who went missing after going underwater at Benbrook Lake over the weekend has concluded, with Texas Parks and Wildlife saying his body was recovered Monday morning.In a statement, the agency said the man was recovered around 9 a.m. by Texas Game Wardens and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Texas Parks and Wildlife said it would not release identifying information to respect the wishes of his family and friends.\"Our thoughts and prayers are with the man's family and friends during this difficult time,\" the agency said.The search began Saturday, around 1 p.m., when officials said they were summoned for a possible drowning. Two men reportedly jumped from a vessel to help a child. One of the men went underwater and didn't resurface.The search near Longhorn Park Drive launched and continued throughout Saturday afternoon and evening, resuming Sunday morning again. Officials said windy conditions on Sunday, coupled with trees on the lake bottom, presented challenges that made searching slow. Search efforts resumed Monday morning.Safety awareness urgedThis incident is one of several that Texas Game Wardens are working on this weekend across the state. As a result, the department is urging the public to review water and boating safety guidance. In 2025, Texas recorded 178 reportable boating incidents that led to 50 deaths and 77 serious injuries. This past weekend alone, Texas Parks and Wildlife says six people have drowned in state lakes.84% of those who died were not wearing a life jacket, and Texas Game Wardens made 223 Boating While Intoxicated arrests last year.Basic precautions for boatersTexas Game Wardens urge boaters to follow basic safety steps before heading out:Wear a life jacket – it must be U.S. Coast Guard–approved, and children under 13 must wear one while the boat is moving.Stay sober on the water – never operate a vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs.Use the engine cut‑off switch – if your boat has one, the operator needs to wear the lanyard or keep the fob on their person.Travel at a safe speed and keep a lookout for other boats, swimmers, and hazards.Complete a boater education course – required for anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1993.Check the weather and be ready for sudden changes.Share a float plan with someone you trust.Avoid overloading the boat – too much weight can make a vessel unstable.Rules for paddlers statewideState rules require anyone in a paddlecraft to have a life jacket that meets U.S. Coast Guard standards, and kids younger than 13 must keep theirs on at all times. Paddlers also need to carry a whistle or another device that can make a loud sound, and they must display a white light visible from every direction when they're on the water after dark, during low‑light hours or in poor visibility.Anonymous tips encouragedThe department is also asking the public to quickly report any unsafe or illegal activity on the water, noting that tips can be submitted anonymously. Rewards of up to $1,000 are available for information that leads to convictions for violations of boating, fishing, or wildlife laws.People can send a tip by texting TXOGT and their information to 847411, using the Texas OGT app on iOS or Android, or calling the anonymous hotline at 800‑792‑GAME (4263). Tipsters are encouraged to include any details, photos, or videos that could help investigators.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/benbrook-lake-texas-man-recovered-6-29-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Matthew Ablon","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:27:22.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2F53b741c5-e348-49bd-b695-f9d3a6737c44%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fb84f28187b915cc0dc1ae3b7b6e13734%2F530p-pkg-benbrook-lake-missing-man-search-06282026-dawn.jpg","slug":"body-of-man-who-went-under-water-while-trying-to-help-child-at-benbrook-lake-has-been-recovered-offi"},{"id":"20umv9","title":"No rain in the forecast as temperatures peak into triple-digits by end of week in North Texas","excerpt":"Expect the dry weather to continue through Friday, July 3, with just a slim 10% chance of a shower on July 4.","content":"Expect the dry weather to continue through Friday, July 3, with just a slim 10% chance of a shower on July 4.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/no-rain-in-the-forecast-as-temperatures-peak-into-triple-digits-by-end-of-week-in-north-texas/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:25:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2F7930d8d4-619f-4bc8-9416-9ecd029fb7fa%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F906319f295930724d264d34e8ba67dd6%2Fc47d26dca2364b11ba5c4107f6ea2002.jpg","slug":"no-rain-in-the-forecast-as-temperatures-peak-into-triple-digits-by-end-of-week-in-north-texas"},{"id":"4pwoed","title":"Memorial highway sign unveiled in honor of fallen Fort Police officer","excerpt":"Family and friends gathered along Northwest Loop 820, just east of the Marine Creek Parkway ramp, to see the sign honoring Hank Nava Jr. He died in 2005 after being shot while trying to serve a warrant.","content":"Family and friends gathered along Northwest Loop 820, just east of the Marine Creek Parkway ramp, to see the sign honoring Hank Nava Jr. He died in 2005 after being shot while trying to serve a warrant.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/memorial-highway-sign-unveiled-in-honor-of-fallen-fort-police-officer/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T17:22:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2Fdb01e6b8-5a6a-4bc2-bbda-9e5808e95bcf%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F2f897d82ecc3ffc77707b85f34b60594%2Fe179d9283c2faf875339c50791da288d.jpg","slug":"memorial-highway-sign-unveiled-in-honor-of-fallen-fort-police-officer"},{"id":"xb0flj","title":"Search for missing man ends after body recovered at Benbrook Lake, officials say","excerpt":"In a statement, Texas Game Wardens said the man was recovered around 9 a.m. on Monday, June 29.

Jean Carroll sexual abuse case","excerpt":"The writer E.

Jean Carroll triumphed over President Trump on Monday when the Supreme Court refused to consider overturning a jury's verdict that he was liable for sexually abusing and defaming her.Carroll celebrated the victory in a brief note on her Substack blog, writing in all capital letters, \"WE WON!\"\"THIS WIN IS FOR EVERY WOMAN IN THE WORLD!\" Carroll wrote.The unanimous federal jury found that a preponderance of evidence supported Carroll's claim that Mr. Trump sexually abused her during a mid-1990s encounter in a New York City department store. Mr. Trump did not attend the 2023 civil trial, and his attorneys called no witnesses before the jury awarded Carroll $5 million. The jury of six men and three women deliberated for less than three hours. Mr. Trump has denied Carroll's allegations since they first surfaced in 2019, when she went public with a book excerpt published in New York Magazine.He has also appealed a separate federal jury's January 2024 verdict finding him liable for making further defamatory statements against Carroll. That jury awarded her another $83 million. Mr. Trump indicated in court filings he wanted Supreme Court review of both cases.Carroll's attorney, Roberta Kaplan, said the Supreme Court's decision \"affirms once and for all the jury's unanimous verdict that President Donald J. Trump sexually assaulted and defamed E. Jean Carroll. His multiple efforts to appeal that verdict have all failed and today's ruling ends his quest to avoid accountability for his actions.\"A spokesman for Mr. Trump's legal team called the case a \"Democrat-funded\" hoax. \"President Trump will keep winning against Liberal Lawfare, as he continues to focus on his mission to Make America Great Again,\" the spokesman said, in reply to a comment on the president's legal defeat in the Carroll case.Mr. Trump claimed in his appeal of the sexual abuse case that Carroll's claims were \"implausible.\" He argued testimony in the case stretched \"credulity past the breaking point,\" and railed against the trial judge's decision to allow testimony from other women who alleged inappropriate sexual conduct at his hands. Carroll urged the Supreme Court to decline to hear the appeal. She argued that Mr. Trump failed to raise any argument that would be grounds for the Court to overturn the jury's verdict. She said the Second Circuit Court of Appeals concluded that evidence from the other women was properly admitted at trial, and the outcome of the case would have been the same even without it.Attorneys for Carroll said during the eight-day trial that her allegations fit a pattern, or \"modus operandi,\" for Mr. Trump. In addition to two other women who described Mr. Trump suddenly turning casual confrontations into alleged sexual misconduct, the jury heard from witnesses who said Carroll confided in them after the incident. The jurors were also shown an \"Access Hollywood\" video clip in which Trump could be heard describing with vulgar language grabbing women's genitals.The Second Circuit denied Mr. Trump's appeal in December 2024, and in June 2025 rejected a request for an en banc review, in which all the judges on the court would have considered the case.The Supreme Court was Mr. Trump's last hope of overturning the case. The jury rejected Carroll's claim that she was raped, though the trial judge, Lewis Kaplan, later wrote that the conclusion that Mr. Trump was liable for sexually abusing Carroll by forcefully inserting his fingers was an \"implicit determination that Mr. Trump digitally raped her.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/supreme-court-trump-e-jean-carroll-sexual-abuse-case/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Graham Kates","publishDate":"2026-06-29T16:54:52.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F29%2F0fa20846-d93e-4efa-a8e1-88d54db18c95%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F9baf2082788f802bcc9ca739aa4e9253%2Fcbsn-fusion-doj-investigating-outside-funding-e-jean-carroll-received-lawsuits-against-trump-thumbnail.jpg","slug":"supreme-court-wont-hear-trumps-appeal-of-e-jean-carroll-sexual-abuse-case"},{"id":"1w19jv","title":"Man killed in Dallas shooting; suspect identified as Jermiah Savage","excerpt":"A 21-year-old man has been arrested following a fatal shooting early Friday morning in Dallas, police said.","content":"A 21-year-old man has been arrested following a fatal shooting early Friday morning in Dallas, police said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/man-killed-south-dallas-shooting-suspect-identified-jermiah-savage","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-06-27T17:24:25.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fjermiah-savage.png","slug":"man-killed-in-dallas-shooting-suspect-identified-as-jermiah-savage"},{"id":"c2kx3r","title":"Texas Parks and Wildlife issues extreme heat guide for summer visitors, pets","excerpt":"As temperatures and heat indexes soar past 100 degrees this holiday weekend, Texas Parks and Wildlife is urging state park visitors to protect themselves and their pets with these essential heat safety tips.","content":"As temperatures and heat indexes soar past 100 degrees this holiday weekend, Texas Parks and Wildlife is urging state park visitors to protect themselves and their pets with these essential heat safety tips.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-parks-wildlife-issues-extreme-heat-guide-summer-visitors-pets","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-06-29T20:42:35.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F06%2FGettyImages-1328237455.jpg","slug":"texas-parks-and-wildlife-issues-extreme-heat-guide-for-summer-visitors-pets"},{"id":"i5vfin","title":"Dirty water, foul odor and chemical burn claims fuel outrage over troubled North Texas water system","excerpt":"A fight over clean water is underway in the city of Trinidad, where concerns about water quality are growing, prompting residents to demand action.

Residents said they've been dealing with discolored water, sediments, and foul odors for months, and some said the problem has now become a health concern. While water is essential to life, in the city of Trinidad, that lifeline is deteriorating.\"If we had the flashlight here, you'll see a lot of particles and stuff,\" said Misty Logan, a longtime Trinidad resident. \"Discoloration, sometimes it looks really orange, brown, smells like lake water, even sometimes when it's clear, it smells like lake water.\"Logan said the city's water is a painful reminder of the agony she claims it caused her 16-year-old daughter, MacKenzie.\"She was on my floor crying... literally burning head to toe,\" Logan said. \"She said some spots itched; she got a couple sores off of it on her leg.\"Logan said a doctor determined her daughter suffered chemical burns likely following repeated exposure to something in the water.\"Afraid of water\": residents describe growing crisis\"Never thought that we'd be afraid of water,\" she said. They've now filed a lawsuit. Jennifer Combs, who lives in Kerens, shares their attorney and has also filed a lawsuit. \"The water is the main issue and residents were being silenced,\" she said. \"I got involved because a 70-year-old woman was basically bullied online, and her post was taken down, and all she was asking for was where she could find water to be donated.\" Combs says at the center of this was the former Trinidad police chief, Charles Gregory. \"So the police chief took my post, took a screenshot of it, posted it on the Police Dept's page, and made a big long speech about inciting the public in a panic,\" Combs said. She says she was arrested on a felony charge of making a false alarm or report and went to jail for 23 hours. That charge was later dropped. Then the city's police chief resigned. Last month, she filed the lawsuit.\"It's against the police department and it's against the council members and the city of Trinidad,\" she said. Combs says she also attended this meeting, wanting to learn more about the water issue. Mayor cites aging infrastructure and funding challenges\"Like a lot of small towns, we've got infrastructure that's very old,\" Mayor Dennis Haws said. Residents said the water concerns are nothing new. Several said they've dealt with sediment, discoloration and foul-smelling water for years.Beth Callingsworth said she and others have repeatedly brought these concerns to city council members and the city administrator, with little progress.\"They made it clear, especially in the last meeting that they don't care,\" Callingsworth said. \"I'm watching people suffer. There are so many immunocompromised here, and disabled and elderly and children.\"Trinidad Mayor Dennis Haws agrees the water issues are alarming. \"Like a lot of small towns, we've got a lot of infrastructure that's very old, we have a water plant that's pretty old,\" said Hayes. Residents said while they feel some city leaders are listening, others are not taking the crisis seriously. Haws said finding the money to fix the water system is a challenge.\"We need help, we need help,\" said Haws.In April, the city of Trinidad and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued a boil water notice after numerous complaints from residents. But it was lifted two days later. The city then notified the state that it would change the disinfectant used in its water distribution system because of ongoing concerns. TCEQ confirmed to CBS News Texas that it has received multiple complaints regarding Trinidad's water quality, and said the investigation is ongoing.\"It's not easy for a small town like Trinidad to address these issues, \" said Haws. It's very expensive to dig these pipes up and put new pipes in.\"Multiple lawsuits filedAt least five residents have filed lawsuits against the city tied to the growing tensions inside the community. Attorney CJ Grisham represents several of those plaintiffs.\"What it really boils down to is corruption and incompetence,\" Grisham said. \"We're going to litigate this issue until our clients feel like they've gotten justice. We're going to ensure that the people are held responsible who are responsible.\" CBS News Texas reached out to all city council members and the city's administrator to ask them about the ongoing water issues, but after numerous emails, they did not return the request for comment.Last week, residents organized their own town hall, searching for solutions and hoping to put pressure on leaders to act.\"It's scary and we have a lot of concern,\" said Callingsworth. \"Do you see it? There's a lot of emotion in these meetings. Hopefully, today, because this is all we've asked for years, is a beginning.\"Haws is also calling for additional state assistance, such as bringing in the Texas Rangers to investigate the city's ongoing issues, but any of those actions will take time.As for Logan, whose family now uses bottled water and takes showers outside the city, she said time is something she and her neighbors simply don't have.\"We need our pipes fixed. We need good clean water, that's what it boils down to... Someone to take accountability for what happened to my child, too,\" Logan said. \"We need action. Let's get it fixed.\"City Council meeting held over water crisisA city council meeting was held on Thursday, where the council approved the purchase of a single water turbidity meter, saying it will buy more time. \"Best result the state comes in and makes changes and fixes the water for the people,\" Combs said. Both she and the Logans say this issue is far from being resolved. City leaders have called a special meeting for next Thursday.CBS News Texas reached out to all city council members and the city's administrator to ask them about the ongoing water issues, but after numerous emails, they did not return our request for comment.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dirty-water-foul-odor-chemical-burn-trinidad-texas-water-system/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Marissa Armas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T16:29:06.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F74112cf5-f4ba-4257-9e84-f3b88912b7b7%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8f30bad6d96b091a87a0178b0b4c1473%2Fsnapshot-2026-06-18t172838-541.jpg","slug":"dirty-water-foul-odor-and-chemical-burn-claims-fuel-outrage-over-troubled-north-texas-water-system"},{"id":"opljw4","title":"Golfing, jewelry, and a reality show: where money meant to feed hungry Texas kids was actually going","excerpt":"Payments for country club dues, luxury jet services, and even a reality show competition are not how you'd expect a community non-profit to use its donations, but the CBS News Texas I-Team found tens of thousands of dollars in questionable spending by a charity that was supposed to be feeding low...","content":"Payments for country club dues, luxury jet services, and even a reality show competition are not how you'd expect a community non-profit to use its donations, but the CBS News Texas I-Team found tens of thousands of dollars in questionable spending by a charity that was supposed to be feeding low-income children.It's been six months since the I-Team's first investigation showing how a Dallas nonprofit had secretly stopped doing the work it promoted. Now the I-Team is finally getting a look at the finances to see how the grants and donations have been used.How it startedFor years, Hunger Busters had relied on corporate volunteers and restaurant donations to help feed thousands of Dallas Independent School District children a third meal after school.\n \n Hunger Busters\n\n Latame Phillips, a onetime delivery driver at the nonprofit, took over as CEO in 2023. He increased the number of board members, planned and promoted large-scale fundraisers, and managed all of the finances and record-keeping.Phillips served as CEO of Hunger Busters from 2023 to January 2026.But at some point, the meals stopped. The CBS News Texas investigation found that the only people using the kitchen now work for a meal prep company that makes salads and wraps for Dallas coffee shops.In January, Phillips admitted it had been at least a year since the nonprofit last made regular meal deliveries.Another nonprofit that gave Hunger Busters approximately $116,000 in grants is suing to get the money back. Tyler Street Foundation requested bank records as part of the discovery process. When Phillips and his attorney failed to turn them over, the foundation subpoenaed the banks. While discovery is shielded from public view, subpoenaed information can be shared, which is how the I-Team obtained the statements.\"It's just a mess.\"After CBS News Texas combed through five years of records, the I-Team asked two nonprofit experts to do the same. Both said the spending raises serious concerns.\"I'm really lost for words,\" said Laurie Styron, the CEO of Charity Watch. \"I don't come across situations this dire very often.\"New York University professor Thad Calabrese expressed similar concerns, saying the records were a \"sign of a suboptimal - to put it lightly - a suboptimal control system.\"For example:$33,125 in payments to Million Air, a company specializing in charter flights and private hangar storage$14,447 in dues to ClubCorp, a nationwide golf club membership program$9,500 in payments to The Blox, a reality show competition and mentoring program for entrepreneursThe Hunger Busters payments to Million Air were evenly split and paid over the course of a year. It is unclear what the payments were for, but company employees we contacted said it is unlikely the amount is enough to cover the use of a private jet. Still, Calabrese says any kind of travel expenses should go through layers of approval and be properly justified. \"There better be some kind of documentation about why that is absolutely critical and the only possible way to accomplish what the organization is trying to do,\" Calabrese said.It's also unclear why Hunger Busters paid for private club use. According to the bank records, the first payment to ClubCorp happened in October 2023 and continued monthly, with amounts varying.Styron said she has seen large nonprofits spend money at golf clubs or country clubs as a way to gain high-dollar donations through networking, but she questioned that approach for Hunger Busters. \"Those are really the only instances where we see those kinds of transactions justified,\" said Styron. \"And for a charity of this size, it's pretty much unheard of.\"The reality show paymentsPhillips competed in season 20 of the week-long Blox boot camp in January 2025. In episodes posted online, Phillips claims he started Hunger Busters, which is not true.The former chair of the board at Hunger Busters told the I-Team that Phillips told trustees the show paid him to appear, adding, \"at no time was it communicated that this opportunity cost anything to the organization.\"Phillips competing on The Blox.\n \n Blox Ventures\n\n Bank records show Phillips paid $4,000 as a competition fee, then an additional $5,500 for additional mentoring and coaching.In a statement, a spokesperson, Cassie Cregger COO, for Blox Ventures, told the I-Team:\"During his participation, Mr. Phillips discussed, learned about, and promoted Hunger Busters within that educational context. Directing a nonprofit leader toward entrepreneurship education and skills development could reasonably be argued to support an organization's broader operational mission. We want to be clear that we are not making that argument to rehabilitate his reputation. If the allegations you are reporting are accurate they are serious, embarrassing, and entirely inconsistent with the values of our community. We have permanently revoked his access to all of our programs and events as a result.\"What we can say with confidence is that every dollar he spent with our organization went toward legitimate entrepreneurship education programming. None of it was misappropriated, and we do not believe participation in educational programming constitutes an inappropriate use of professional development funds.Regarding awards: Mr. Phillips did receive recognition through one of our program awards. We want to be precise here because it matters to your reporting. The specific award he received does not carry a monetary prize. While some of our awards do include financial recognition, his did not. Any representation to the contrary to his board or otherwise would be inaccurate.\"Two months after filming, Phillips also used Hunger Busters money to give $25,000 to a toy company owned by one of the show's mentors. The woman, who helped judge contestants in Phillips' season, told the I-Team she had a written investment agreement with Phillips.Phillips and Andrea Furtick. Phillips paid Furtick's toy company $25,000\n \n Blox Ventures\n\n Other paymentsThere are pages of purchases that do not appear to have obvious links to the mission of feeding children brown bag meals. For example:$411.95 to a Zales jewelry store in Mesquite$1,834.56 to a medical boutique in Arlington$2,500 for tickets to InvestFest, an annual conference focused on business, wealth, and cultureIt's unclear who else knew about the spending during Phillips' time as CEO. He was the only one signing the checks and making withdrawals on the accounts we've seen. The experts say that alone is a red flag. \"You would not want the person who is approving payments to be the same person signing checks,\" said Calabrese.\"Thousands of dollars in purchases for anything, the board should really be involved at a deeper level,\" echoed Styron.Both say it's difficult to get a full picture of the finances without internal ledgers. Six months after resigning, Phillips has yet to turn over any records. Even the IRS says it has not received required financial filings in three years.Phillips did not respond to our requests for comment, but his attorney, LeDouglas Johnson, sent us this statement:\"Thank you for reaching out for comment. As you know, our firm represents The Food Foundation d/b/a Hunger Busters and Dr. Latame Phillips in the pending civil litigation. Because this matter is actively being litigated, we are not going to try the case through the media or respond to isolated characterizations of financial records without first reviewing the specific documents, dates, amounts, and context on which your inquiry is based.We do not agree that a list of vendor names, standing alone, fairly establishes personal misuse or spending unrelated to Hunger Busters' charitable operations, fundraising, donor relations, or organizational activities. The parties' respective positions will be addressed in the appropriate forum.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/golfing-jewelry-reality-show-hunger-busters-money-hungry-kids/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kelsy Mittauer","publishDate":"2026-06-29T13:50:34.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F28%2F602cf684-ac7d-4a26-80bc-281d7e2ddd55%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F53730a59cc6fa8bcd1dbd5bf9522d55c%2Fdownload.png","slug":"golfing-jewelry-and-a-reality-show-where-money-meant-to-feed-hungry-texas-kids-was-actually-going"},{"id":"4fp501","title":"Hot, humid and windy conditions expected ahead and on Fourth of July","excerpt":"The above-average temperatures and feels-like temperatures in the triple digits continue this week.

Kennedy Jr. over his vaccine skepticism and handling of the nation's public health, despite having delivered the key vote to advance Kennedy's nomination last year. Cassidy, a medical doctor who chairs the Senate health committee, said on \"Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan\" that it's \"easy to surmise\" that Kennedy made promises to him to win his vote, and since then, the commitments that the HHS secretary made to him and the country \"have been violated.\" \"If you build public health upon a foundation of lies, then you're going to have the absence of adequate public health,\" he said. Brennan's interview with Cassidy was conducted on June 25. Cassidy explained that he cast the vote to help confirm Kennedy because the alternate scenario was having him installed in a czar-type role without any congressional oversight. \"Bobby Kennedy was going to have the ear of the President. The President seems to be fascinated with the Kennedys,\" Cassidy remarked.\"Either he was going to be in a position where there were guardrails, and I did have commitments made as to kind of guardrails. Or he was going to be appointed White House health czar, in which case he would have the president's ear without the guardrails,\" Cassidy said. \"You can criticize it, but I chose to have the one with the guardrails.\" Asked whether Kennedy has restored trust in public health, as Cassidy thought he might do, the senator declared, \"He has not restored trust in public health\" and pointed to reports of the Trump administration trying to rein in Kennedy. \"Polling shows that the American people understand that vaccines are important, and for someone to be out there saying that they're not goes against their experience,\" he said.Asked if the president is aware of the public perception around some of Kennedy's agenda, Cassidy said, \"The administration clearly has gotten off the anti-vaccine message into something more positive.\"In a speech on the Senate floor on Feb. 4, 2025, Cassidy said that Kennedy had made a number of promises to him including a pledge that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would keep statements on its website noting there is no established link between vaccines and autism. The current CDC web page has a heading stating \"Vaccines do not cause Autism,\" but it appears with an asterisk and says at the bottom of the page that the phrase remains on the site due to an agreement with Cassidy. Immediately below the heading, the page reads, \"this webpage has been updated because the statement 'Vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim.\" The page goes on to raise questions about the statement, arguing that \"there are still no studies that support the specific claim that infant vaccines DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV, do not cause autism.\" Research has found no evidence of increased rates of autism among those who are vaccinated compared to those who are not.In the \"Face the Nation\" interview, Cassidy said \"I can tell you that that broken agreement that I had with the secretary, that that was not supposed to happen.\" HHS did not respond to a CBS request for a response to Cassidy's accusation.Kennedy last June testified in a budget hearing before a House Energy and Commerce subcommittee that he is \"complying with all the agreements\" he made with Senator Cassidy. Still, Cassidy gave credit to Kennedy for his focus on ultra-processed foods. \"If that's where he stayed, our country would be really much better off,\" he said. \"But the concept that immunizations somehow are bad has been clearly disproven by life experience, because what's happening is people getting sick, in some cases dying, and the administration clearly has moved away from that.\" Pulte as acting DNIOn President Trump's choice of housing regulator Bill Pulte to temporarily lead the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Cassidy said his objection \"is that he used personal information to target a political enemy of the president.\" Pulte, who also leads the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has accused several Trump foes of mortgage fraud and lacks any experience in national security, prompting a wave of disapproval from lawmakers. \"You should not be using the force of government to crash upon somebody just because the person in charge does not like them or finds them inconvenient. The fact that Bill did that is disqualifying for someone to be the director of national intelligence,\" he said. Pulte has sent criminal referrals to the Justice Department alleging mortgage fraud by a number of Mr. Trump's political foes, including New York Attorney General Letitia James, Sen. Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook and former Rep. Eric Swalwell. Mr. Trump cited the fraud allegations against Cook to justify her attempted firing, which is currently before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on Cook's case this week as it wraps up the current term before beginning summer recess.All four have denied wrongdoing, and only the investigation into James has resulted in criminal charges to date. That case was eventually dismissed.Democrats on Capitol Hill asked the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office to examine whether Pulte \"potentially misused federal authority and resources to publicly accuse prominent Democrats and President Donald Trump's perceived political enemies of mortgage fraud.\" The office confirmed in December that it was investigating FHFA's mortgage fraud investigation procedures and any recent changes in the process. On June 2, a GAO spokesperson said the office expects to issue the results in \"late 2026 or early 2027.\"Todd Blanche and Jan. 6The Louisiana senator indicated he could withhold his support for Mr. Trump's attorney general pick, Todd Blanche, who is currently serving in the position in an acting capacity, until there's written assurance that the Justice Department won't move forward with the $1.8 billion \"anti-weaponization\" fund to pay people who claim they were politically persecuted. Blanche told House lawmakers earlier this month that the Justice Department is \"not moving forward\" with the fund, but the Trump administration has refused to submit a sworn declaration verifying that the fund is dead. \"It doesn't seem hard to just write a letter saying we're not going to do it,\" Cassidy said. \"But nonetheless, he has said that he is not going to. The president has sent conflicting signals, that's something that has to be sorted out before the vote.\" Trump sometimes \"acts as if Congress is merely an appendage\"Cassidy said it is not Congress' job to act as a rubber stamp on Mr. Trump's priorities, but at the same time, he's not sure if Mr. Trump understands the separation of powers. \"Sometimes he acts as if Congress is merely an appendage, and frankly, sometimes Congress acts like it's an appendage,\" Cassidy said. \"Congress wants to be read in, and Congress has our rules and procedures that our Founding Fathers set up, and they set it up precisely so that there would not be too powerful of an institution of a presidency designed to reflect all of the American people, not just the will of one person,\" he added. Cassidy is among a handful of Republican senators who have at times been critical of Mr. Trump's policy and personnel decisions. Three of them, including Cassidy, are either retiring or lost their primaries to Trump-backed challengers. Asked whether anyone else would be left to hold the president accountable after they leave, Cassidy replied, \"the simple answer will be yes.\" \"The Senate is a separate body, separate from the presidency. I think we're seeing that,\" he said. Cassidy and Mr. Trump clashed Wednesday when the president attended a GOP lunch at the Capitol. Their testy exchange came after Cassidy voted in support of a war powers resolution to limit Mr. Trump from taking further military action against Iran. Before the meeting, Mr. Trump abruptly canceled a signing ceremony for a bipartisan housing affordability bill that had overwhelming bipartisan support as he sought to increase pressure on Senate Republicans to pass a voting regulations bill known as the SAVE America Act. Some of Mr. Trump's other priorities, including funding related to a massive new White House ballroom and the Justice Department's proposed \"anti-weaponization\" fund, also hit roadblocks in the upper chamber. \"I cannot get inside the president's brain,\" Cassidy said of Mr. Trump's priorities. \"What I think should be the priority is, how do you make life more affordable for the American people?\" Cassidy also told Brennan that after his dustup with the president, he passed a note to Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, saying he'd consider changing his vote if he received a briefing on the war. Witkoff gave him a briefing, and Cassidy then withdrew his support for the resolution.Thursday night, Trump called Cassidy and thanked him for changing his position on the procedural vote on the Iran war powers resolution Wednesday night. Cassidy told CBS that the conversation was \"positive and looking to build a working relationship.\"The White House did not respond to a request for comment. Work on Dyslexia In his final months as a senator, Cassidy is trying to get federal support for early intervention to help kids with dyslexia, and may take up Mr. Trump's offer to work together in the future. Millions of Americans are dyslexic — up to 20% — according to an estimate cited by the American psychological association.And it is a cause particularly important to Cassidy. His daughter is dyslexic and his wife - also a doctor - runs charter schools in Louisiana with a special curriculum for children who have been diagnosed with the disability. Cassidy said backing from the federal government to help identify and accommodate learning differences can ensure kids across the country don't suffer long term consequences. \"If the federal government kind of puts a little bit of oomph behind it, it's going to happen.\" Cassidy also said, \"It makes sense if 20% of the children learn to read differently and we are not accommodating the difference in how they learn to read, then they're going to be stuck, and we lose that social capital.\" He was also sharply critical of Mr. Trump's criticism of California Governor Gavin Newsom's disclosure that he is dyslexic. Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social posts in March that Newsom is \"dumb\" and has a \"mental disorder.\" \"It's harmful,\" Cassidy said of the rhetoric when asked what impact it has on younger generations. \"You should not insult people.\" \"We should have a gift of encouragement,\" Cassidy said in the interview. \"If you look at some of the people who are dyslexic, who are really bright, they just learn to think differently. Charles Schwab describes himself as dyslexic. Charles Schwab is a pretty smart guy, and he thought differently.\"Vaccine diplomacyCassidy also disagreed with Kennedy's efforts to roll back U.S.-led initiatives to help end disease in Africa and elsewhere, arguing it undercuts America's national security. \"I strongly objected to what Bobby did with immunizations overseas,\" Cassidy said. \"That is a form of soft power. We are in a global geopolitical competition with China. One thing that's helped us tremendously in Sub-Saharan Africa is the PEPFAR program and immunization programs, in which people there thank the United States and are predisposed to work with us.\" PEPFAR - also known as the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief - had its operations disrupted in the early months of the second Trump Administration as part of Elon Musk's closure of USAID, which administered parts of the program. The initiative was signed into law by President George W. Bush more than two decades ago and saved an estimated 26 million lives by delivering vital medications and education about the disease according to the State Department. Kennedy has also curtailed U.S. participation in GAVI — the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization — which helps immunize people in third world countries. \"It is better than sending troops, it's cheaper than sending troops, it's a humane thing to do,\" he said. \"It's in the U.S. interest. Bobby was opposed to it because he had some foolish notion about the dangers of vaccines, but instead we see, more, people are dying of disease. Next, there's not a vaccine for Ebola, but it's, but it's fair to say that the infrastructure we had helped create in Africa had been damaged by the changes in USAID, for example, and that probably made us less capable of responding.\"On GAVI, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a Senate Foreign Relations hearing on June 2 that \"the State Department's going to be renengaging,\" and that HHS will still have a role. \"We want to take their input, but we'd like to get this issue resolved and an outcome that's acceptable both to Congress and also to our goals on global health,\" Rubio said.

Jorge Rodriguez, the president of the National Assembly, said Saturday afternoon the death toll has risen to 1,430. Another 3,238 people are injured, he said. Venezuelans have taken the search for missing loved ones into their own hands, citing a scarcity of government rescuers. Aid agencies consider the first 48 to 72 hours to be a crucial time frame to retrieve people alive, though that can be extended if they have access to food and water.Venezuelans reported seeing few state rescue teams in the hardest-hit areas, despite authorities projecting an image of a robust government response. Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said the Venezuelan government was mounting a full response during these \"critical hours for rescuing people alive\" and welcomed the arrival of international rescuers and humanitarian aid. In hard-hit La Guaira, Diana Sandrano told CBS News her brother has been missing for two days. The building where he lived was destroyed in the quakes. Rescue workers and search dogs scoured the building as she prayed for a miracle. Sandrano said she will search for him \"as long as it takes.\" \"He deserves to live and have a future,\" Sandrano said, after a day of searching. More than 200 people have been rescued so far, the government of Caracas said. But about 51,000 remain missing. The figure likely includes people who have been unable to communicate with loved ones due to the lack of cellphone signals, and some reports may be duplicates. The International Organization for Migration said up to 6.76 million people in Venezuela could be affected by the earthquakes, including some 2 million in Caracas alone. Residents and rescue workers search through the rubble in La Guaira, Venezuela, on Friday, June 26, 2026. \n \n Juan Pablo Arraez via AP\n\n Officials block access to epicenter as families wait and hope Authorities announced Friday night they would block access to La Guaira, the epicenter of the destruction just north of Caracas, as chaos and traffic began to hamper search efforts. Anyone who wants to enter would now have to seek official permits, but provided few details of who would be allowed in.Rodríguez said food and water is being distributed in the region by government officials. She said La Guaira had been militarized and more help was on the way, even as residents said it was just a fraction of what they needed.Nazareth Jimenez sobbed into a loved one's shoulder as she watched neighbors use hammers and power tools to try to cut through slabs of concrete in a building reduced to a mountain of debris. She was wracked with anxiety as she waited to see if her siblings, nephews, nieces and friends would emerge alive.\"My God, how are we going to get them out of there?\" Jimenez said.Jimenez pleaded for machinery capable of moving collapsed structures. \"We're making a call for help to the government and countries across the world,\" she said. \"There are still people alive in there.\"Residents search through rubble in Catia La Mar, in Venezuela on Friday, June 26, 2026.\n \n Fernando Vergara via AP\n\n Omar Reyes said around 20 family members died in the disaster. \"I've been left alone in this life,\" Reyes said, walking through the rubble where two of his children were buried.Because the two quakes took place within a minute, many people did not have time to evacuate their buildings, Northwestern University professor emeritus Emile Okal told CBS News. The shallow depth of the quakes led to a massive impact on the surface. The twin earthquakes were also followed by a series of aftershocks, including a 4.5-magnitude quake recorded on Friday. Loyce Pace, the International Red Cross' regional director for the Americas, said \"people are still terrified to reenter what were their homes.\" Earthquakes amplify economic and political turmoil The disaster poses a huge challenge for Rodríguez, the former vice president who took office in January after the capture and removal of then-President Nicolás Maduro by the United States. Venezuela has been facing economic disarray for more than a decade, and many people reject the legitimacy of the political movement Rodríguez represents.In the city of Maiquetia, people lined up outside stores and pharmacies that served them one by one behind closed doors. At one point a woman in a crowd threw herself to the ground to protect a package of diapers with her body, desperate to keep it.Traffic and throngs of motorcyclists at times disrupted search efforts. Mexican soldiers and volunteers repeatedly asked for silence to try to hear signs of life under the rubble, but bikers — civilian and uniformed — continued to honk horns and rev engines. This combination of satellite images shows buildings in Caraballeda, Venezuela on Dec. 28, 2025, left, and on Friday, June 26, 2026, after an earthquake.\n \n Satellite image ©2026 Vantor via AP\n\n Some people began to carry off basic goods such as toilet paper and food from stores in Catia La Mar, a neighborhood in La Guaira that holds over 200 housing towers. Others swarmed a civilian pickup truck that was giving out bread and water, until a soldier intervened. The parking lot of a pharmacy turned into a makeshift shelter with tarps, hammocks and tents.A few miles away, Yuleidy Cadenas, 28, stood across the street from a collapsed public housing building, hoping her son, mother and brother would be pulled out alive.She fled barefoot from another building as it collapsed Wednesday and found her mother's 12-floor apartment tower had pancaked.\"I got on top of the rubble and told them to yell back, and nobody did, not my brother, nor my son or my mother,\" Cadenas said.International rescuers bring resources and expertise Venezuelan authorities said Friday that 861 volunteers from Mexico, the U.S., El Salvador, Switzerland, Colombia and beyond were in the country, and more were coming from elsewhere.Rodríguez said she spoke to President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Friday and they reaffirmed their commitment to send rescue teams and aid equipment. A senior administration official said Saturday that it has deployed two 80-person search and rescue teams, one from Fairfax County, Virginia and the other from Los Angeles. Teams from Miami are also responding, the official said, for a total of nearly 250 specialized civilian rescuers. The State Department has already announced $150 million in aid. An additional nine-figure funding package is expected to be announced in the next day or so, the official said. Meanwhile, aid planes have begun to land at Simon Bolivar International Airport, the official said. The airport was closed for several days after the quakes, but two runways opened on Saturday, the official said. Mobile hospitals are expected to land at the airport, the official said, including two run by aid organizations, and humanitarian supplies are being surged in. The USS Fort Lauderdale, an amphibious military ship, is in position off the country's coast to allow for more operations around La Guaira, the official said.

With so much else to rebuild, a baseball season in 2026 seemed like more than a dream. But just like every other challenge, this community, with a little help from some major league friends, came together and did what some thought was impossible. They made sure that baseball was back, right on time for opening day this March. Fresh cut grass, chalk on dirt, and the familiar sound of strikes being thrown.It's baseball season in Texas, opening day in fact.\"I could not go to sleep, I was just so excited. I got up early, took a shower, did my hair,\" said Lilly Wirth, a softball player. And with opening day comes fanfareBut nothing about this march day was promised. Just eight months prior, this beautiful ballpark simply was washed away. \"We had our last game July 2, and we closed up shop and were like, 'We'll come back kind of clean up maybe this weekend,' kind of go through stuff, and we all know that did not happen,\" said Amy Barnes, a mom and the concession stand manager. Like almost everything else, the July Fourth flooding completely destroyed the Little League fields in Hunt. Barnes and Caroline Key are both moms in the Little League; Key coaches her kids' teams. They thought they had lost their season, along with so much more.\"July 5, when we walked around, we were... stuck, we were devastated and sad and pretty bummed,\" said Barnes.\"My daughter is a student at the Hunt school, and we lost two students from our community. In addition, we lost some of our friends too,\" said Key.\"When we woke up in the morning, everything was wrecked. We had a pretty good view of where it happened... It was wrecked,\" said Annie Key, Caroline Key's daughter and a softball player.When asked how she felt after the floods, Annie Key said she was sad, \"Cuz I lost some friends,\" she said. \"I had three sets of little eyes looking up, saying, 'Where are we going to play next year?' And we said we would figure it out,\" said Barnes. Not playing ball was simply not an option. And that meant getting a little help from some major league friends.\"We came over to see what we could do to help and it became immediately evident that the fields were wiped out. Looking up over the hill there was really nothing left here. So, right then, I decided whatever we got to do to figure this out and get it done,\" said Jim Crane, the owner of the Houston Astros.The Astros joined forces with the Texas Rangers, Communities Foundation of Texas and others to pitch in nearly $3 million to rebuild the fields so these kids didn't miss a single pitch.\"This joy you feel today has been this pent-up joy this community has had for so long,\" said Austin Dickson, the CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. That joy was bursting at the seams; the kids couldn't wait for the ceremonial ribbons to be cut. They just wanted to play.\"Cut the ribbon, cut the ribbon, cut the ribbon,\" the kids screamed.\"Because of the people of what we had during the flood, I knew, I didn't expect this, but I knew something would happen,\" said Barnes.And with every pitch thrown and ball hit, these kids are getting something back that was ripped away from them.\"If we can get a hot dog to a little kid, I mean, what else do you need besides baseball and hot dogs, right?\" said Barnes. A chance to just be kids and play a little ball.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/historic-floods-texas-hill-country-little-league/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Bo Evans","publishDate":"2026-06-29T03:30:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2F81ba91f5-b7dc-4e88-9d33-7a33cbd08560%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F01c9c5e4e836c87f80f79bb2a6198a91%2Fsnapshot-2026-06-28t222337-691.jpg","slug":"after-historic-floods-texas-hill-country-little-league-is-back"},{"id":"oydl8o","title":"North Texans rally to help Venezuela earthquake victims","excerpt":"Millions of Venezuelans have been affected by the earthquakes that struck the country earlier this week.

Over the weekend, search crews moved quickly to find those still missing.Sandoval says they were able to fill three containers with food, clothes, and other essentials. He says the containers are on their way to Houston, then Miami, before being flown over to Venezuela.\"Despite the situation, I feel happy that we were able to do something; this was truly a community effort,\" said Sandoval.The International Organization for Migration said up to 6.76 million people in Venezuela could be affected by the earthquakes, including some 2 million in Caracas alone.Sandoval says he does not have family in the region impacted, but knows people who lost loved ones.\"In difficult moments is when we realize how much we care about each other; we really are a team and that's beautiful to see despite what's happening,\" said Sandoval.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/north-texans-rally-to-help-venezuela-earthquake-victims/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Briseida Holguin","publishDate":"2026-06-29T03:26:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F18adbf4b-3f84-449c-bb4b-cea364924a71%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fd572148ce7db98504da35b75a7c5fb53%2Fap26177702621588.jpg","slug":"north-texans-rally-to-help-venezuela-earthquake-victims"},{"id":"on3h2c","title":"After devastating floods, Texas Hill Country Little League is back","excerpt":"With so much else to rebuild, a baseball season in 2026 seemed like more than a dream.","content":"With so much else to rebuild, a baseball season in 2026 seemed like more than a dream.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/after-devastating-floods-texas-hill-country-little-league-is-back/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-29T03:24:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F29%2Fc5087ecc-529f-46bb-90b3-baf00ea6a422%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa1f11e6fe341d4147f768ef3906d57af%2F46dd9a26ad0ab9c072a5212530ce5075.jpg","slug":"after-devastating-floods-texas-hill-country-little-league-is-back"},{"id":"yx83jt","title":"Fort Worth Gun Violence detectives investigate late-night shooting on Ward Park Lane","excerpt":"A woman was hospitalized late Friday night after being shot during a dispute in northwest Fort Worth, police said.","content":"A woman was hospitalized late Friday night after being shot during a dispute in northwest Fort Worth, police said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/fort-worth-gun-violence-detectives-investigate-late-night-shooting-ward-park-lane","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-06-27T16:11:47.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F062726-sh-ftwpd-shooting-ward-park-ln_kdfw756a_186_00.04.46.02.jpg","slug":"fort-worth-gun-violence-detectives-investigate-late-night-shooting-on-ward-park-lane"},{"id":"qdcnin","title":"North Texas could hit 100 degrees before Fourth of July","excerpt":"Triple-digit heat is on the way.

call about the potential drowning came in around 1 p.m. on SaturdayWitnesses told officials that two men jumped from a vessel to help a child. One went underwater and did not resurface.Crews searched the northeast portion of Benbrook Lake near Longhorn Park Drive throughout the afternoon and evening but did not locate the man, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.The search resumed at 8 a.m. Sunday, with the Texas Game Warden Underwater Search and Recovery Team joining local responders. Texas Game Wardens in Tarrant County, members of the Underwater Search and Recovery Team (dive team) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers searched Benbrook Lake all day for the missing man. The day's windy conditions and trees on the lake bottom presented challenges that made searching slow. Search efforts will resume around 8 a.m. on Monday. Authorities were not immediately releasing identifying information out of respect for the man's family.State urges safety awarenessThe possible fatality at Benbrook Lake is one of several that Texas Game Wardens are working on this weekend across the state. As a result, the department is urging the public to review water and boating safety guidance. In 2025, Texas recorded 178 reportable boating incidents that led to 50 deaths and 77 serious injuries. This weekend alone, Texas Parks and Wildlife says six people have drowned in state lakes.Eighty‑four percent of those who died were not wearing a life jacket, and Texas Game Wardens made 223 Boating While Intoxicated arrests last year.Basic precautions for boatersTexas Game Wardens urge boaters to follow basic safety steps before heading out:Wear a life jacket – it must be U.S. Coast Guard–approved, and children under 13 must wear one while the boat is moving.Stay sober on the water – never operate a vessel under the influence of alcohol or drugs.Use the engine cut‑off switch – if your boat has one, the operator needs to wear the lanyard or keep the fob on their person.Travel at a safe speed and keep a lookout for other boats, swimmers, and hazards.Complete a boater education course – required for anyone born on or after Sept. 1, 1993.Check the weather and be ready for sudden changes.Share a float plan with someone you trust.Avoid overloading the boat – too much weight can make a vessel unstable.Rules for paddlers statewideState rules require anyone in a paddlecraft to have a life jacket that meets U.S. Coast Guard standards, and kids younger than 13 must keep theirs on at all times. Paddlers also need to carry a whistle or another device that can make a loud sound, and they must display a white light visible from every direction when they're on the water after dark, during low‑light hours or in poor visibility.Anonymous tips encouragedThe department is also asking the public to quickly report any unsafe or illegal activity on the water, noting that tips can be submitted anonymously. Rewards of up to $1,000 are available for information that leads to convictions for violations of boating, fishing, or wildlife laws.People can send a tip by texting TXOGT and their information to 847411, using the Texas OGT app on iOS or Android, or calling the anonymous hotline at 800‑792‑GAME (4263). Tipsters are encouraged to include any details, photos, or videos that could help investigators.CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/benbrook-lake-missing-man-search-texas-game-wardens-boating-safety/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Doug Myers","publishDate":"2026-06-29T03:17:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2021%2F06%2F09%2F0e815429-12bf-4141-83ca-01d7c707294d%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F10c7f34efe2492b5a4443552a605873d%2FScreen-Shot-2021-06-09-at-9.42.57-AM.png","slug":"search-for-missing-man-at-benbrook-lake-slowed-by-high-winds-rough-water-officials-say"},{"id":"bs1lnw","title":"City Playgrounds: The Work Behind the Play","excerpt":"Mayor Shawn McCaskill explores the work behind play and the people who help keep playgrounds safe.","content":"Mayor Shawn McCaskill explores the work behind play and the people who help keep playgrounds safe.","url":"https://mysouthlakenews.com/city-playground-the-work-behind-the-play/","source":"City of Southlake News Flash (official gov)","author":"City of Southlake News Flash (official gov)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T14:31:37.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmysouthlakenews.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F2026.06.22-SCS-Playground-Inspection.jpg","slug":"city-playgrounds-the-work-behind-the-play"},{"id":"tfr7ov","title":"Mabank Fire Chief killed while directing traffic at rodeo, officials say","excerpt":"Authorities are investigating after the Mabank Fire Chief was struck and killed while directing traffic at a community rodeo Saturday night, officials said. \n \n City of Mabank\n\n According to the Texas Municipal Police Association, it happened in ...","content":"Authorities are investigating after the Mabank Fire Chief was struck and killed while directing traffic at a community rodeo Saturday night, officials said. \n \n City of Mabank\n\n According to the Texas Municipal Police Association, it happened in Mabank, about an hour southeast of Dallas.

I just want justice. I believe in Texas law.I hope he pays for what he did because they need to put him in jail forever because we don’t want him on the street.”\n\n\n\nVasquez, who was a beloved son, nephew and friend, was a talented bass player in the North Texas band, Evolución Latina. The group practiced on Sunday for the first time without him since the tragedy.\n\n\n\n“He was the one who put energy on every practice,” Efrain Martinez, Tony’s friend, said. “Dancing, enjoying the moment, enjoying the music. That’s how he was.”\n\n\n\nTony got his love for music from his father. While mourning his absence, his family now waits for justice as Ibarra faces a number of charges, including intoxication manslaughter.\n\n\n\n“We’re a Christian family, so we leave everything in God’s hands and we trust,” Luis Vasquez, Tony’s uncle said. \n\n\n\nIbarra faces several felony charges including intoxication manslaughter, collision involving death and being in the country illegally. He is being held on a $350,000 bond and also has an immigration hold.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/man-killed-by-drunk-driver-watching-world-cup-match/4042289/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Jala Washington","publishDate":"2026-06-28T21:47:22.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2F0_34-KXAS-WKND-10P-SUN-_-PKG-DFW-FIFA-WC-Game-Intox-Man-Killed-Pedestrian.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"man-killed-by-alleged-drunk-driver-watching-world-cup-match"},{"id":"wb0avi","title":"Mabank mourns Fire Chief hit, killed while directing traffic near rodeo grounds","excerpt":"The Mabank community is mourning the loss of Fire Chief Charles Woodard, who was killed while directing traffic outside the Mabank Rodeo Grounds.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Woodard was directing traffic Friday night when he stepped into the westbound lanes of U.S. High...","content":"The Mabank community is mourning the loss of Fire Chief Charles Woodard, who was killed while directing traffic outside the Mabank Rodeo Grounds.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Woodard was directing traffic Friday night when he stepped into the westbound lanes of U.S. Highway 175 and was struck by a pickup truck.\n\n\n\nWoodard was taken to UT Health in Gun Barrel City, where he succumbed to his injuries and died.\n\n\n\nThe driver of the pickup was not injured, DPS said.\n\n\n\nThe Mabank Fire Department shared an image honoring Woodard and asked the community to keep his family and fellow first responders in their prayers.\n\n\n\n“There are no words that can ease the pain of such a tremendous loss.

The kits also have tea to help comfort a woman battling cancer. There are also letters of encouragement with daily affirmations. The kits include a tumbler, lip balm, hard candy, unscented lotion, beauty products and journaling materials.\n\n\n\n“Think about females that are going through a very vulnerable time in her breast health journey. We want to be able to offer her a tangible expression of hope. So there’s always an opportunity for people to fundraise, pack and deliver these kits,” said Ashley Miller, the Senior Director of Public Relations and Official Spokesperson at NBCF.\n\n\n\nMiller said group events help them meet their demand for the kits, which have a waiting list. They’re always looking for large groups to volunteer to assemble the kits.\n\n\n\n“We currently have over 5,000 women waiting for these HOPE Kits across the county. So I would just encourage people to sign up to not only donate a HOPE Kit to a female in need, but maybe to host a Hope Kit packing party at their business, maybe for your sports team, or even just for a fun girls night out. These are all things that we can do remotely and we would love to help you guys have a hands-on opportunity to help more women now,” said Miller.\n\n\n\n“As a leadership team, we feel it’s really important to not only come together to build team, but also to serve others. This is a opportunity not only to come together, but to give back,” said Pierson.\n\n\n\nNBCF was founded in 1991 by breast cancer survivor Janelle Hail, who wanted more information about the disease after she was diagnosed in 1980 at the age of 34.\n\n\n\nAfter completing her treatment, she started the non-profit to help other women going through the same experience have resources about the disease. Hail is currently the Chairman of the Board at NBCF. \n\n\n\nClick here to learn more about the HOPE Kits, which can be requested and sent to someone battling breast cancer.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/frisco-city-leaders-help-non-profit-hope-kits-breast-cancer/4042014/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Sophia Beausoleil","publishDate":"2026-06-27T18:05:07.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fimage-41-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","slug":"frisco-leaders-help-non-profit-pack-hope-kits-for-women-fighting-breast-cancer"},{"id":"pu27la","title":"Celebrate the Fourth of July with Dallas' favorite arts groups","excerpt":"Arts organizations have some spectacular ways to celebrate Independence Day.\n\n\n\nSHAKESPEARE DALLAS\n\n\n\nCombine theater and fireworks for an unforgettable Independence Day celebration.

During intermission, audiences will step out of Wonderland and look up together as fireworks fill the sky over the park before settling back in for the second act. It feels festive and a little unexpected in the best way. One of the things I love most is that it is such an easy way to celebrate. You can park, settle into your seat, enjoy live theatre under the stars, and experience the fireworks without the usual crowds and logistics. It becomes this joyful summer evening where storytelling, community, and celebration all come together in one place,” said Jenni Stewart, Executive & Artistic Director of Shakespeare Dallas.\n\n\n\nLearn more: Shakespeare Dallas\n\n\n\nDALLAS CHAMBER SYMPHONY\n\n\n\nCheck out Dallas’ newest park on July 4 and enjoy a free concert from the Dallas Chamber Symphony beginning at 7 p.m. Conducted by Richard McKay, Dallas Chamber Symphony’s Music and Artistic Director, the program will feature beloved American classics performed as the sun sets over the park’s lawn and seating areas.

companies say tariffs affecting imported electrical components and changes in refrigerant rules, combined with higher material, fuel, and labor costs, are driving prices higher across the industry.\n\n\n\nDavid Hart, owner of Frontline HVAC Services, said the average cost of a new residential HVAC system is now about 10% to 12% higher than it was a year ago. He said some repairs cost as much as 30% more than they did 12-18 months ago.\n\n\n\n“With the demand for materials, copper, refrigerant changes, and efficiency requirements added on top of it, repairs just aren’t even feasible for the average consumer anymore,” Hart said. “We’re seeing folks take out financing for repairs now because something that you could have done for 30% less just 12 to 18 months ago is going through the roof.”\n\n\n\nHart said more customers are financing repairs and replacements, with some taking out loans for as long as 10 years to make the monthly payments more affordable.\n\n\n\nDespite the rising costs, Hart said homeowners can help avoid major repairs by staying on top of routine maintenance, including changing air filters, cleaning outdoor units and addressing small issues before they become bigger problems. He also urged homeowners to hire only licensed HVAC contractors. Consumers can verify a contractor’s license through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation before allowing someone to work on their system.\n\n\n\nRecognizing the financial strain many families are facing, Hart said several HVAC companies in Parker and Tarrant counties are setting competition aside to host a free back-to-school community event on August 7th.\n\n\n\nThe event will provide free school supplies, children’s haircuts, and other resources for local families, along with a free concert featuring country artist Kevin Fowler.

So it’s going to be managing that traffic of the folks coming to the event as well as everyone that’s trying to leave work for the weekend,” Palk said. \n\n\n\nPolice are not planning any street closures but may temporarily block roads if needed to safely move pedestrians.\n\n\n\n“The biggest, you know, areas around the park here, of course, are the Woodall roads of service roads between St. Paul and Pearl,” Palk said.\n\n\n\nDallas police said Klyde Warren Park has hired additional off-duty officers for the event, and the department is deploying extra resources while not anticipating any major issues.\n\n\n\nArea employers, including Hunt and the Federal Reserve, were advised about the potential for heavy traffic near Klyde Warren Park.\n\n\n\nLess than a half-mile away, another 10,000 people are expected for the Dallas Arts District’s Flora Street Live festival, which begins at 6 p.m. and stretches along Flora Street from the Meyerson Symphony Center to the Moody Arts Center.\n\n\n\nAndrea Kim with the Dallas Arts District said organizers are ready for the increase in visitors.\n\n\n\n“Dallas wants to welcome all visitors from all ranges, and it just so happens to be in the middle of FIFA,” Kim said.\n\n\n\nKim said the district has added security and traffic control measures.\n\n\n\n“We hired additional DPD officers to be crosswalk attendants, and PSO officers, as well, to assist with the traffic control of the region,” said Kim.\n\n\n\nPolice are encouraging anyone attending the events to follow officers’ directions as they manage vehicle and pedestrian traffic throughout the evening.\n\n\n\n“The biggest thing is, you know, as you see officers out here, if they’re directing traffic or helping people across the street, just follow their instructions,” Palk said.\n\n\n\nKlyde Warren Park is scheduled to close at 11 p.m. Park officials said the venue has hosted several events with crowds of around 10,000 people and has accommodated as many as 35,000 visitors in the past.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

The day it happened all of our lives were changed forever,” Beckley said.\n\n\n\nBeckley said the lack of resolution in the case has made the grieving process even more difficult. He described the uncertainty surrounding the investigation.\n\n\n\n“What I would say might be the toughest part of that is we haven’t gotten resolution to the accident, to the crash itself,” Beckley said.\n\n\n\nAt the time of the crash, investigators in Pilot Point said the driver left the scene but later returned and cooperated with authorities.\n\n\n\nAccording to a crash report obtained by NBC 5, the 23-year-old driver did not have a driver’s license and was “speeding and not paying attention in front of him” when he struck the cyclists from behind.\n\n\n\nBeckley said he hopes the tragedy leads to meaningful safety improvements. He said stronger protections could help prevent similar crashes.\n\n\n\n“It was a needless accident. We’d love roads become safer where we don’t have these kinds of things happen and affect people’s lives,” Beckley said.\n\n\n\nIn the months following the Pilot Point crash, two more bicyclists were killed in separate crashes involving motorists in McKinney and Richardson.\n\n\n\nHoping to improve safety for cyclists and all road users, Beckley and other members of the Frisco Triathlon Club met with state Rep. Jared Patterson at his district office in Frisco.\n\n\n\nThe group is asking lawmakers to strengthen bicycle safety laws during the next legislative session.\n\n\n\nBeckley outlined what the club hopes lawmakers will accomplish.\n\n\n\n“We really want to see some teeth in some regulation, some laws passed,” Beckley said.\n\n\n\nAmong the proposals discussed were expanding dedicated bike paths, requiring a minimum three-foot passing clearance for motorists and preventing drivers involved in crashes from refusing drug or alcohol tests.\n\n\n\nFollowing the meeting, Beckley said he was encouraged by Patterson’s response. He said the club understands legislative change can take time.\n\n\n\n“Hopeful. Rep. Patterson seemed to be very responsive to our suggestions, very empathetic to our cause. We recognize that it takes time for legislation to occur. It may not happen in a single session,” Beckley said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

That’s the case for Jordan, a World Cup contender for the first time in its history. \n\n\n\n“So many people probably did not hear of Jordan before,” said Adham Shawish, a business owner in Richardson. \n\n\n\nBut on Monday night, more than 2,500 fans filled the Arabian Village in Richardson with the largest crowd the venue has ever seen to watch Algeria and Jordan face off on the pitch.\n\n\n\nShawish owns the property and described the atmosphere as electric: cheering, dancing, and people from all backgrounds celebrating side by side. Jordanian culture was everywhere: traditional food, clothing, chants, and flags filling the space with color and sound.\n\n\n\n“Americans, Arabs, Europeans,” he said. \n\n\n\nShawish said as a lifelong soccer fan, he loves the FIFA fever taking over the country, and spanning generations. \n\n\n\n“I’m very, very happy to see that my kids, other generations, younger or older, everybody is shifting toward soccer,” he said. \n\n\n\n“I think this is a good opportunity to learn more about soccer, about the country, about dreams they can have in the future,” added Hamza Salameh, another Jordanian fan. \n\n\n\nHis son, Wissam Shawish, said the turnout reflected only a small piece of the pride Jordanians feel.\n\n\n\n“It only shows a fraction of the excitement and the dedication of our people and how proud they are of their culture,” he said.\n\n\n\nThe 2026 World Cup holds special meaning for Jordanian fans.\n\n\n\n“It was achieving a dream that everyone was living in Jordan, to have their Jordan team in a World Cup,” said Hamzeh Tahat.\n\n\n\nThat dream is still realized, even though Jordan lost their match. \n\n\n\n“Just seeing our flag in the crowd, seeing our fellow community members come out to venues like this one and the level of generosity, the level of excitement, that’s stuff that, it’s there regardless, no matter the score at the end of the game,” Wissam said. “So, it doesn’t matter if they can get a goal, if they can’t, if they concede, just them being there is enough for us, and just us being able to watch them is enough for us,” he added. \n\n\n\nWissam said seeing his team’s behavior off the field gives him pride. FIFA posted about the players cleaning up their locker room after Monday’s match and leaving gifts for staff. \n\n\n\n“So many people probably did not hear of Jordan before,” Shawish said. \n\n\n\nHe said that as he learns more about other cultures, he hopes others are learning about his, too. And even though Jordan’s run may be over, that cultural exchange is worth keeping the celebration going. \n\n\n\n“Everyone is still ready to go to the match here in Dallas Stadium,” Hamzeh said.\n\n\n\nJordan’s Tourism Board is partnering with the City of Arlington for a Visit Jordan Experience at the Levitt Pavilion from June 25-27.\n\n\n\nAccording to the website, the free three-day festival will include “FIFA World Cup 26™ public viewing events, live entertainment, authentic Jordanian cuisine, a vibrant street bazaar, family activities and immersive tourism experiences that bring the sights, sounds and hospitality of Jordan to the heart of Downtown Arlington. The celebration culminates Saturday night with a public watch party for the historic Jordan vs. Argentina match.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/jordan-fans-in-north-texas-celebrate-world-cup-history-and-cultural-pride/4041839/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Tahera Rahman","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:14:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FJordan-fans.png%3Ffit%3D598%2C336%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"jordan-fans-in-north-texas-celebrate-world-cup-history-and-cultural-pride"},{"id":"u79az7","title":"Dallas Museum of Natural History, Old Mill Inn welcoming Fair Park visitors again","excerpt":"Two historic buildings that have welcomed generations of Texans are once again entertaining visitors at Dallas Fair Park.\n\n\n\nClosed for the last 14 years, the Dallas Museum of Natural History is opening to the public on Sundays only during the World Cup.\n\n\n\nThe museum spent decades teaching Texan...","content":"Two historic buildings that have welcomed generations of Texans are once again entertaining visitors at Dallas Fair Park.\n\n\n\nClosed for the last 14 years, the Dallas Museum of Natural History is opening to the public on Sundays only during the World Cup.\n\n\n\nThe museum spent decades teaching Texans about the state’s diverse wildlife.\n\n\n\nFormer exhibit director Walt Davis said seeing people tour its halls again feels like coming home.\n\n\n\n“It reminded me of my first visit here when I was 3 years old,” Davis said.\n\n\n\nBuilt to celebrate the Texas Centennial, the museum’s taxidermy displays date back to the 1930s. Each diorama depicts native wildlife and painted landscapes.\n\n\n\n“It was lovingly done by human hands, depicting a state with a really wonderful natural history,” said Davis.\n\n\n\nMore than 500 people showed up for last Sunday’s opening. \n\n\n\n“When they came through, they started telling each other stories about when they were children, brought their own children and grandchildren. It was like a big family reunion,” Davis said.\n\n\n\nThe free viewings are from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 28, July 5, July 12 and July 19. Volunteers with Texas Master Nationalists, who worked with Fair Park on the project, are on site to answer questions. \n\n\n\nDavis said he hopes the limited reopening will spur interest in a Texas the museum sought to capture.\n\n\n\n“Anything that we can do to encourage people to preserve it and respect it and enjoy it is a good thing,” Davis said. \n\n\n\nAlso revived at Fair Park is the Old Mill Inn. Isaac Rousso, one of the concessionaires behind some of the most popular foods at the State Fair of Texas, has turned the landmark into a full-service bar and restaurant.\n\n\n\n“We’ve been eyeing this place for so long, we could see the potential, we just wanted to have a chance to bring it,” said son Joey Rousso.\n\n\n\nOutside, the water-powered paddlewheel is once again turning and inside hang old photos and relics of State Fair history, including belt buckles once worn by Big Tex. Open throughout the FIFA Fan Festival, the restaurant is already welcoming World Cup fans to its large patio to watch games.\n\n\n\nLater this summer, Rousso plans to unveil more details about what the pop-up concept will offer during the State Fair. He boasts that the patio offers the best view of Big Tex, and it will be an ideal place to share a bottle of wine.\n\n\n\n“This place is so unique and so original to the State Fair that Fair Park needed to have a restaurant,” Rousso said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-museum-of-natural-history-old-mill-inn-welcoming-fair-park-visitors-again/4041836/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Katy Blakey","publishDate":"2026-06-26T16:10:22.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FDallas-Museum-of-Natural-History.png%3Ffit%3D598%2C336%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"dallas-museum-of-natural-history-old-mill-inn-welcoming-fair-park-visitors-again"},{"id":"n5qzrc","title":"Colombia will advance, but what else is at stake in Group K tonight?","excerpt":"Colombia wins World Cup Group K and plays in Kansas City on July 3 as long as they do not lose to Portugal.

It’s just a home renovation.\n\n\n\nThe Swedes were surprised to see mangled metal and other demolished construction materials on one side of Toyota Stadium — the home of MLS team FC Dallas — during their training session Wednesday night.\n\n\n\n“I just thought, ‘What happened?’ As far as I knew, there hadn’t been any storm,” Sweden midfielder Besfort Zeneli told Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet.\n\n\n\nThat scheduled work, done earlier in the day before Sweden’s session, is part of a years-long renovation project at the stadium. The construction company in charge said work is being done during “scheduled off-hours.” \n\n\n\nThat area on the west side of the stadium has been blocked off since before Sweden started using the stadium as its base camp after arriving in the United States in early June. The construction has had no impact on the pitch or any facilities being used by the team in Frisco, about 30 miles north of downtown Dallas.\n\n\n\nStill, that very visible demolition from the latest work caught some players by surprise when they arrived for training ahead of their final Group F match against Japan.\n\n\n\nFC Dallas said in a statement Thursday that the work “was part of a planned and controlled demolition within an active construction zone. The work was conducted using a pull-down demolition method and did not involve explosives.”\n\n\n\nNo one was injured.\n\n\n\nThe renovation project, being carried out in phases, began in early 2025, with full completion expected before the start of the 2028 MLS season. FC Dallas is still playing regular-season games there during the renovation.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/demolition-greets-sweden-at-its-world-cup-base-camp-during-fc-dallas-renovation-project/4041736/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-26T12:05:58.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fposter-frame-1782494582907.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"demolition-greets-sweden-at-world-cup-camp-during-fc-dallas-renovation-project"},{"id":"yhgzif","title":"Texas board approves Bible stories as required reading in public schools","excerpt":"The Texas education board on Friday approved a required reading list for more than 5 million public school students that includes Bible passages, widening conservative efforts to push Christian teachings in U.S. classrooms.\n\n\n\nThe Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans...","content":"The Texas education board on Friday approved a required reading list for more than 5 million public school students that includes Bible passages, widening conservative efforts to push Christian teachings in U.S. classrooms.\n\n\n\nThe Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans, approved the list over critics who argued the titles lack diversity and blur the separation of church and state enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Supporters say Judeo-Christian traditions were fundamental to the nation’s founding and that should be reflected in the public school curriculum.\n\n\n\nThe proposal, which mandates literary works such as Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” alongside passages from the New Testament, has been closely followed by education observers who say it appears to be the first of its kind in the nation. It is a departure from letting schools or teachers decide what students read.\n\n\n\nThe rollout will be staggered, starting with elementary school students in 2030.\n\n\n\nTexas, which educates roughly 1 in 10 of the nation’s public school students, has been at the forefront of a charge by conservatives to incorporate more religion into classrooms. The state also allows public schools to hire chaplains to counsel students, mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms and has approved an optional Bible-infused curriculum.\n\n\n\nA focus on Christianity\n\n\n\nCritics say the reading list lacks diversity, blurs the separation of church and state that is enshrined in the Constitution and leaves teachers and students with little room to decide what to read.\n\n\n\n“Kids of all faith backgrounds and no faith are served by Texas schools and they should all feel welcome in Texas schools,” said Elva Mendoza, legislative communications associate for the progressive Texas Freedom Network. “But this is sending the message to children that one and only one religious text — a Christian one — is worthy of making this required reading list.”\n\n\n\nOthers applauded the idea of mandated Christian religious reading in public schools. Brooke Mazel, a retiree from Lubbock, said her children and grandchildren grew up with “strong faith and family values.”\n\n\n\n“America should celebrate our 250 years that started as a nation of unwavering Christian values,” Mazel said.\n\n\n\nThe board is also set to vote Friday on a social studies curriculum that links Bible stories with American history.\n\n\n\nTexas may be a trailblazer\n\n\n\nA state law passed in 2023 required a mandatory list of at least one literary work be taught in each grade level. The new list contains around 200 texts, including Bible passages, essays and books, far in excess of that requirement.\n\n\n\nAntero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University professor, said he doesn’t know of any other state with a mandatory reading list that includes religious texts. Educators at the district and school level usually choose the texts their students will read, Garcia said.\n\n\n\nKasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, agrees the move is “unique” to Texas.\n\n\n\nPicture-book stories for elementary students including “David and Goliath” and “Daniel and the Lion’s Den” are on the required reading list. By fourth grade, students will encounter passages about Jesus in the New Testament.\n\n\n\nIn middle school, students will be expected to read passages about Jesus, including his most famous sermon and another where he instructs people to cast aside earthly anxiety and seek the kingdom of God.\n\n\n\nFor high schoolers, the list requires the reading of specific Bible passages as supportive materials for literary works including works by Dickens and Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.”\n\n\n\nHolding diversity in check\n\n\n\nSuch strict requirements amount to “almost de facto censorship,” Meehan said, comparing the list to book bans.\n\n\n\n“It certainly leans ideologically more conservative,” she said. “It excludes a lot of diverse voices from the reading list.”\n\n\n\nThe list mandates that students reading Shakespeare’s “The Tragedy of Julius Caesar” also read a eulogy for President Ronald Reagan written by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a staunch conservative.\n\n\n\nFrank Strong, an English and journalism teacher and co-founder of the student advocacy group Texas Freedom to Read, said diversity is not only important for students who need to see themselves in what they read but also as a way to learn about different cultures.\n\n\n\nMany of the books on the reading list are not controversial, but Mendoza asks why books like “Chicka Chicka Boom Boom” need to be required for kindergartners.\n\n\n\n“Can’t our kindergarten teachers be trusted to choose board books?” Mendoza asks.\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tTexas State Board of Education\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEducation\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 25\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to know about the push to make Bible stories required reading in Texas public schools\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treligion\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas board prepares vote on curriculum changes that expand Bible instruction\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treligion\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 22\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhy Texas schools could soon teach more Bible content","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/texas-school-board-to-vote-friday-to-add-required-bible-readings-in-public-education/4041712/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Jim Vertuno and Jamie Stengle | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-26T11:31:13.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2282949598.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D3000%2C1688","slug":"texas-board-approves-bible-stories-as-required-reading-in-public-schools"},{"id":"jdsyoc","title":"Dan Hunt hopeful North Texas hosts 2031 Women's World Cup Final","excerpt":"Dan Hunt wants the summer of soccer to turn into an era that North Texans will never forget.

Hunt, whose family owns FC Dallas and the Kansas City Chiefs, is hoping the success of the 2026 Men’s World Cup leads to FIFA selecting North Texas for the 2031 Women’s World Cup Final. \n\n\n\n“I think we did an outstanding job with our bid. I mean, North Texas has just shown like no other market, and you know, having nine games in the international broadcast center and two base camps,” Hunt said. “But Dallas is a global city. We’re ready to host a final. The women’s World Cup final in 2031 would be my next goal.”\n\n\n\nAT&T Stadium in Arlington is among 14 U.S. stadiums proposed for the tournament. Mexico and Jamaica are also part of the bid, like Mexico and Canada were for 2026. Seven of those 14 stadiums are being used for 2026 (Dallas/AT&T, Atlanta/Mercedes-Benz, New York/MetLife, Houston/NRG, Los Angeles/Sofi, Kansas City/Arrowhead, and Seattle/Lumen). The other seven are Charlotte/Bank of America, Denver/Empower, Minneapolis/U.S. Bank, Nashville/Geodis Park, Orlando/Camping World, San Diego/Snapdragon, and Washington, D.C./future Commanders stadium. \n\n\n\n“I’m ecstatic. I mean, this could not have turned out any better. We have had so many great matches,” Hunt said. “The soccer fandom that I’m seeing, and not just following the U.S. Men’s National Team, so many people are talking to me about England and Croatia, the fact that we had our star player, Petar Musa, for Croatia score against England. I mean, that couldn’t have turned out any better. And that was one of our most popular posts ever in the history of the club, and so it’s an exciting moment for soccer.”\n\n\n\n\n\n26 additional stadiums could be used for the expanded 48-nation tournament. It’s a mix of NFL and MLS venues. Final decisions on venues will likely not be made for years.\n\n\n\n“One of the coolest things is reading all the articles from fans saying, you know what, I owe American sports an apology. These football stadiums are tremendous for soccer. I think that’s been maybe the most striking thing to international fans is what we’ve been able to achieve in great stadiums like Dallas Stadium,” Hunt said. “You see them walking around, and they just can’t believe that this is a sports venue in which it’s not just sports, it’s an entertainment venue, and it’s, you know, very, very unique.”\n\n\n\n\n\n“This is the moment we had all thought and hoped it would be, except it’s even greater than that. Our nation has embraced this in a way that I couldn’t even dream of having happen,” Hunt said. “So to have this to have his excitement to have the U.S. playing the way they are to have FC Dallas shining not just for the US men’s national team, but for Croatia and for Sweden, you know, and for Haiti, that it’s such a big moment for the club. Soccer has more than arrived now.”\n\n\n\nMexico would host at the same three sites they used for the 2026 World Cup, plus Torreón (Corona).\n\n\n\nProposed ticket prices of $35 for the cheapest seats in the opening round to $120 to $600 for the final were listed in a ticket grid.\n\n\n\nBrazil is hosting the 2027 Women’s World Cup.\n\n\n\n\n\nHunt added he now believes in his father’s vision that soccer will one day rival the NFL in the U.S. “I can actually now see that. I can feel it.”\n\n\n\nOther U.S. venues listed as possibilities are Foxborough, Massachusetts (Gillette), Philadelphia (Lincoln Financial Field), and Santa Clara, California (Levi’s), all venues for next year’s men’s World Cup.\n\n\n\nAdditional sites included were Baltimore (M&T Bank), Birmingham, Alabama (Protective), Carson, California (Dignity Health Sports Park), Cincinnati (TQL), Cleveland (Huntington Bank Field), Columbus, Ohio (Lower.com Field), Frisco (Toyota), Glendale, Arizona (State Farm), Harrison, New Jersey (Sports Illustrated), Los Angeles (Memorial Coliseum), Miami (Chase), Nashville (Nissan), New York (Etihad Park), Orlando (Inter & Co), Pasadena, California (Rose Bowl), St. Louis (Energizer Park), San Francisco (Oracle Park), Sandy, Utah (America First Field) and Tampa, Florida (Raymond James).\n\n\n\n\n\nSecond possible sites in cities, all with lower capacities, were included for Houston (Shell Energy), Kansas City (CPKC), and Washington, D.C. (Audi Field).\n\n\n\nIndianapolis was listed for a proposed stadium.\n\n\n\nMiami’s Hard Rock Stadium was the only 2026 World Cup venue not included.\n\n\n\nChicago was not listed after dropping out of bidding to host in 2026 because of what it said were FIFA’s burdensome financial demands.\n\n\n\nAdditional possibilities in Mexico are Pachuca (Miguel Hidalgo) and Querétaro (Corregidora), along with Universitario as an alternate choice in Monterrey. Saprissa was listed as an alternate site in San Jose, Costa Rica.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/dan-hunt-hopeful-north-texas-hosts-2031-womens-world-cup-final/4041640/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"RONALD BLUM | The Associated Press, Meredith Land and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-06-26T09:11:57.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FAP26152859663810.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D6000%2C4000","slug":"dan-hunt-hopeful-north-texas-hosts-2031-womens-world-cup-final"},{"id":"coj6to","title":"Australia, Côte d'Ivoire lock in knockouts at Dallas Stadium, opponents TBD","excerpt":"The 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 32 starts Sunday in Los Angeles.

If France wins or draws, they’re headed to New York for the Round of 32. Norway needs a win. The team that finishes second will play Côte d’Ivoire on Tuesday, June 30, at noon at Dallas Stadium.\n\n\n\nFrance has one of the strongest rosters in the world. They won the World Cup in 2018; they finished runner-up in a thriller against Argentina in 2022; and some would argue their 2026 roster features Kylian Mbappe in his prime, plus plenty of support from Ousmane Dembele, Michael Olise, and Desire Doue in attack. Premier League champion William Saliba of Arsenal headlines the defense, but Saliba is not available for today’s game.\n\n\n\nMbappe and Norway’s star striker Erling Haaland are chasing Lionel Messi for the Golden Boot Race; they’re both tied with Brazil’s Vinicius Junior at 4 goals (Vini has already played his third Group Stage game). Messi has 5 after two games.\n\n\n\nHaaland is one of the top goal scorers in the world over the past few seasons.

The mothers open up together for the first time about their grief, their bond, and their investigation into what happened.\n\n\n\nIn unison, the mothers tell Holt that the tragedy could have “100%” been averted and reveal that the owners of the camp, the Eastland family, remained virtually silent after the floods. Patricia Bellows, mother of Margaret, tells Holt that they “never received a debrief,” with Jennie Getten, mother of Ellen, adding, “they’ve never called us.” \n\n\n\nReflecting on the support they have found in one another, Bellows explains that after the devastation, “the person you were before is gone. That person is dead.”\n\n\n\n\n\nDuring the one-hour broadcast, the Eastlands’ attorney spoke exclusively with Holt, arguing that nothing could have prepared the owners for what unfolded. \n\n\n\nWhen Holt asked why there was no specific flood policy in place, attorney Mikal Watts said there was, explaining: “You stay in the cabins until help can come and help you. Hundreds of girls’ lives were saved by that policy.” \n\n\n\nWhen Holt pressed him on whether he was defending the decision to keep campers inside the cabins during such a severe rain event, Watts replied, “It’s called shelter in place.”\n\n\n\n“After the Flood” also features interviews with Lindsey McCrory, who lost her daughter Blakely, as well as survivors of the flooding, including a 10-year-old camper and a camp counselor. The special will highlight the latest developments in the investigation, including news that Camp Mystic filed for bankruptcy.\n\n\n\n“I don’t think anyone can relate to what we’ve experienced except for the other 26 families. I have trouble relating to my best friends prior to July 4, hearing about their busy lives, their carpools,” Ellen Sheedy said. “That — that’s not my life anymore.”\n\n\n\nNone of the 27 missing Camp Mystic campers and counselors survived. They’re known as Heaven’s 27 — 51 parents lost daughters that day.\n\n\n\nAfter their lives were shattered came the questions: Could this tragedy have been averted?\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCentral Texas flooding\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCamp Mystic files for bankruptcy after catastrophic floods killed 28 people\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCamp Mystic files for bankruptcy after deadly Fourth of July floods\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Texas Flood\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 24\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat Camp Mystic's bankruptcy filing could mean for flood lawsuits","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/dateline-looks-back-on-deadly-central-texas-flooding/4041566/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-06-26T06:52:09.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FFSPrgFin-NBC-Dateline-Fri-6-26-Texas-After-the-Flood-Friday.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"thats-not-my-life-anymore-dateline-revisits-deadly-central-texas-flooding"},{"id":"ibz9eu","title":"A'ja Wilson scores 32 points as the Aces beat the Wings 99-84 to avoid a sweep","excerpt":"LAS VEGAS (AP) — A’ja Wilson scored 32 points and the Las Vegas Aces led nearly throughout to avoid being swept by Dallas with a 99-84 victory over the Wings on Thursday night.\n\n\n\nChelsea Gray finished with 12 points and nine assists for the Aces, becoming the fourth player in WNBA history with a...","content":"LAS VEGAS (AP) — A’ja Wilson scored 32 points and the Las Vegas Aces led nearly throughout to avoid being swept by Dallas with a 99-84 victory over the Wings on Thursday night.\n\n\n\nChelsea Gray finished with 12 points and nine assists for the Aces, becoming the fourth player in WNBA history with at least 4,500 points and 2,000 assists for her career.

Their most recent victory over Las Vegas was a 96-66 rout on June 15.\n\n\n\nThe Aces sent a message that this matchup would be quite different. They went on a 10-point run to take a 15-4 lead and led 28-17 after the first quarter.\n\n\n\n“We came in with the focus to kick their butts,” Parker-Tyus told NBA TV after the quarter.\n\n\n\nLas Vegas, which made 53.3% of its shots, went ahead by as many as 17 points. But Dallas kept chipping away and got to within 53-49 early in the third quarter.\n\n\n\nThe Wings, who were 2 of 21 from the 3-point arc, got no closer.

A local nonprofit said something free and easy can help parents encourage those reading minutes.\n\n\n\n“When kids hear someone else read to them, even if it’s an audiobook, it helps them to actually hear how it’s supposed to sound,” Ayanna Jackson, Director of Programs at Catch Up & Read, said. “It helps them to understand the pacing. Young readers can learn about reading too fast or too slow, because they can hear someone else doing it.”\n\n\n\nJackson said this also helps build your child’s confidence.\n\n\n\n“They can hear exactly how words are pronounced, so they don’t have to worry about getting it wrong. They hear it first. They can even rewind it to hear it multiple times,” Jackson said.\n\n\n\nShe said it also helps with vocabulary building.\n\n\n\nCatch Up and Read hosts various ways to help increase childhood literacy throughout the school year. Their mission is to help students in underserved communities to read on grade level by third grade. Students who are not reading on grade level by third grade are four times more likely not to graduate high school.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNBC 5 is Reading With You all summer long, with book lists in English and Spanish as well as ways to earn free stuff throughout the summer for reading minutes.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/how-audiobooks-can-help-your-child-with-summer-reading/4041542/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Laura Harris","publishDate":"2026-06-26T06:08:56.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fposter-frame-1782472308633.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"how-audiobooks-can-help-your-child-with-summer-reading"},{"id":"nsewdp","title":"Local nonprofit helps mothers achieve homeownership","excerpt":"June is National Homeownership Month, and with many families reporting homeownership is further away than ever before, Ascend Dallas’ Bright Beginnings Fund might be able to help.\n\n\n\nThe fund helps North Texas mothers who qualify turn savings into a path to owning their own home with the help of ...","content":"June is National Homeownership Month, and with many families reporting homeownership is further away than ever before, Ascend Dallas’ Bright Beginnings Fund might be able to help.\n\n\n\nThe fund helps North Texas mothers who qualify turn savings into a path to owning their own home with the help of financial empowerment and education. \n\n\n\nAmanda Gameros is one of those mothers.\n\n\n\n“My mom was a single mother, and we never owned a home,” Gameros said. “We always lived in apartments, but never owned anything of our own. I just knew when I got pregnant, I wanted to work towards getting my child a home to live in.”\n\n\n\nFor Ascend Dallas, it’s not just about getting families into their first home, but also helping families go from living paycheck to paycheck to building a stable future for their children. The Bright Beginnings Fund helps low-income mothers build savings through a combined match savings program and coaching to sustain it.\n\n\n\n“I knew that I wouldn’t be able to afford a home where I was. That’s where Ascend Dallas came in to help. They closed the gap. They helped me save and learn more about saving,” Gameros said.\n\n\n\nParticipants save their own money toward an approved goal. The hope is that these young mothers can work towards a 4:1 savings match that can go towards purchasing a home or starting a small business. That match can be up to 8:1 for education, workforce training, or career skills development.\n\n\n\nCurrent participants or recent graduates of Ascend Dallas’ Nurse-Family Partnership program are eligible to enroll. The NFP is an evidence-based program that provides nurse-led support and maternal care for first-time mothers.

But tucked into the Hickory Creek Arm is a quieter stretch where paddlers can glide past herons and kingfishers just minutes from busy roads.\n\n\n\nOfficials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday for the Hickory Creek Arm trails, which Texas Parks and Wildlife says are just the first of many. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“So when you see the signage, you’ll see the lake paddling trails, and you’ll see the names of the individual trails here in Highland Village. That’s intentional. There are more to come,” said Shelly Plante, nature tourism manager for TPWD. “For now, we have eight beautiful miles of trail here on the Hickory Creek arm of Lewisville Lake that paddlers can enjoy.”\n\n\n\nThe new trail system is designed for paddlers of all experience levels, with multiple launch points and several loop routes that allow beginners to paddle without arranging transportation back to their starting point.\n\n\n\nPlante explained that paddling trails are an easy way to get into things like kayaking, canoeing, or stand-up paddleboarding. The trails offer easy-to-navigate systems and manageable distances. \n\n\n\n“Look for a loop trail, which means you start and end at the exact same point,” said Plante. “This is one of those really easy entry-level things that help you get close to nature and really experience the outdoors in a meaningful way.\n\n\n\nThe trails will add eight miles of designated paddling routes, bringing Texas’ statewide paddling trail system to 96 official trails.\n\n\n\nCreating the trails took years of planning and coordination between Texas Parks and Wildlife and the City of Highland Village.\n\n\n\nLong before the ribbon-cutting, the trails were explored one paddle stroke at a time by local Boy Scouts, who paddled the routes by kayak, photographing launch areas, documenting wildlife, and identifying safety considerations that helped shape the official trail maps.\n\n\n\nBrian Norton, Deputy Director of Parks Operations & Projects, said Highland Village joined a regional effort to expand paddling opportunities on Lewisville Lake. \n\n\n\n“It was a big collaborative effort,” Norton said. “It was all of our team, our partnership with Texas Parks and Wildlife, and the Boy Scouts.”\n\n\n\nTexas Parks and Wildlife provided trail maps, signage, and inclusion in the state’s official paddling trail network, while the city prepared launch locations and public access points.\n\n\n\nHighland Village is the first community to open its segment of what Texas Parks and Wildlife envisions as a broader paddling trail network around Lewisville Lake, with additional routes planned in neighboring cities\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning a trip?

That bill would require voters to show identification and documents proving U.S. citizenship to vote.\n\n\n\nMany lawmakers and local housing advocates are disappointed that the housing bill, which received overwhelming bipartisan support, is being tied to unrelated legislation.\n\n\n\nAmong its many provisions, the bill creates new programs for housing funding and home repairs. It would also streamline some federal reviews to help speed up construction and reauthorize programs that help organizations like Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity build new homes.\n\n\n\nAshley Brundage, CEO of Dallas Area Habitat for Humanity, said the legislation would provide additional resources to help address the region’s affordable housing shortage.\n\n\n\n“A lot of new funding and reauthorization of current funding will help increase the supply of affordable homes and affordable apartments that we’re able to put on the ground here in the city,” Brundage said. “More homes is really what we need here. We’ve got a gap of 16,000 affordable homes for sale in the city of Dallas.”\n\n\n\nIf the president neither signs nor vetoes the bill and Congress remains in session, the legislation could still become law after 10 days under the U.S. Constitution.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/housing-bill-on-hold-trump-ties-signature-election-bill/4041347/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Brittney Johnson","publishDate":"2026-06-25T16:35:51.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2024%2F07%2FINSURANCE-SHOPPING-ZOGA-PKG-07-31-2024-10.14.52-AM_2024-07-31-18-26-05.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"major-bipartisan-housing-bill-on-hold-as-president-ties-signature-to-election-bill"},{"id":"nn0vh1","title":"Driver pleads guilty, admits to falling asleep in 7-vehicle pileup that killed 5, injured 4","excerpt":"A driver who admitted he was behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer when he fell asleep and collided with stopped traffic pleaded guilty Thursday to nine charges related to the deadly 7-car pileup that killed five people and injured four others.\n\n\n\nA plea hearing was scheduled for Thursday for 28-...","content":"A driver who admitted he was behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer when he fell asleep and collided with stopped traffic pleaded guilty Thursday to nine charges related to the deadly 7-car pileup that killed five people and injured four others.\n\n\n\nA plea hearing was scheduled for Thursday for 28-year-old Alexis Osmani Gonzalez Companioni related to the June 28, 2025, crash. At that hearing, which came just three days before the first anniversary of the crash, Gonzalez Companioni pleaded guilty to nine felonies, including five counts of 2nd degree manslaughter and four counts of 2nd degree aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.\n\n\n\nJudge Casey Blair of the 86th District Court accepted the plea bargain and sentenced Gonzalez Companioni to 20 years in state prison, after which he will be deported. Gonzalez Compan\n\n\n\nKilled in the horrific crash were four members of one family and the driver of another vehicle. The victims were identified as 79-year-old Billy McKellar, 52-year-old Zabar McKellar, 45-year-old Krishaun McKellar and 16-year-old Kason McKellar.

Police said they later learned that two of those people entered with a third person who also did not have a ticket and whose whereabouts were unknown.\n\n\n\nOfficers searched the stadium but never found the unticketed fan. In a statement to NBC 5 Investigates, Arlington Police said the department is reviewing the incident.\n\n\n\n“We take this matter seriously and are reviewing it to determine what additional measures we may need to take to prevent future incidents like this. While we remain confident in the extensive security planning that went into this event, we never become complacent,” police said.\n\n\n\nTheron Bowman, a law enforcement consultant and former chief of police for the Arlington Police Department, said attempts to get into large venues without tickets are not unusual.\n\n\n\n“Sometimes people will poke around at different entrances to try and get in. Most of the time they’re not successful,” Bowman said.\n\n\n\nBowman said that one fan breaching security rarely poses a major concern unless police have intelligence suggesting the person poses a threat.\n\n\n\nHe said Monday’s incident gives authorities an opportunity to re-examine security procedures at stadium entrances.\n\n\n\n“When we have incidents that occur. We try and make sure that we look at every potential aspect of the security or if there was a security breakdown, that we continue to train our people on that from the ushers in the stadium to the ticket takers to the security people,” Bowman said.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the weeks leading up to the World Cup, local, state and federal law enforcement officials fortified the stadium with vehicle barriers, metal perimeter fencing and heavily policed entry checkpoints. The measures were put in place to protect fans, visiting dignitaries and world leaders attending matches played by their respective national teams.\n\n\n\nWorld Cup officials have described the games as the most complex security events in U.S. history. The security breach is raising questions about whether more needs to be done to ensure that no one enters a stadium unchecked.\n\n\n\nPolice told NBC 5 Investigates that two of the four people arrested for criminal trespass at Monday’s match were Argentine nationals. Another person was from Florida and the fourth was from Plano.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 Investigates contacted FIFA to ask whether it has any concerns about security at upcoming Dallas matches, but has not heard back.\n\n\n\nAfter last week’s match between England and Croatia, some British newspapers reported England fans claimed they saw people entering Dallas Stadium in Arlington without tickets. Arlington Police said they have seen no evidence to support those claims.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/investigations/four-arrested-without-tickets-one-slips-away-in-dallas-stadium-world-cup-security-breach/4041212/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Scott Friedman, Eva Parks, Edward Ayala and Frank Heinz","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:50:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fatt-stadium-fwc-dressing.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"four-arrested-without-tickets-one-slips-away-in-dallas-stadium-world-cup-security-breach"},{"id":"y2ubv6","title":"Lucky Ducks: Lewisville Fire Department rescues three ducklings from drain","excerpt":"A family of ducks has been reunited thanks to a group of heroic Lewisville firefighters.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Lewisville Fire Department, the firefighters were finishing a workout on Thursday when they noticed a duck was standing near a water overflow drain, quacking loudly and swimming back and f...","content":"A family of ducks has been reunited thanks to a group of heroic Lewisville firefighters.\n\n\n\nAccording to the Lewisville Fire Department, the firefighters were finishing a workout on Thursday when they noticed a duck was standing near a water overflow drain, quacking loudly and swimming back and forth.\n\n\n\nOfficials said one of the firefighters walked over to the duck and discovered the problem: three small ducklings had fallen into the drain and were unable to climb out.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe firefighters worked together to safely retrieve all three ducklings from the drain, officials said.\n\n\n\nAccording to officials, the ducklings were reunited with their “very anxious mother,” and the whole family safely waddled off together. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We are always glad to help our community, no matter how small,” Lewisville Fire Department officials said in a statement.\n\n\n\nOfficials said the firefighters also used rocks to create a barrier around the drain to keep future ducklings from falling in.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/lucky-ducks-lewisville-fire-department-rescues-three-ducklings-from-drain/4041187/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Hannah Jones","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:44:01.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2F730321408_1315778040737154_3898933701268808922_n-rotated.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D589%2C350","slug":"lucky-ducks-lewisville-fire-department-rescues-three-ducklings-from-drain"},{"id":"w1ns98","title":"North Texan hosting Japan fan ahead of match vs. Sweden at Dallas Stadium","excerpt":"North Texans are literally opening their doors to soccer fans for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. \n\n\n\nMaggie Walters is hosting a 22-year-old Japanese college student named Yuto Osato.

NBC 5’s Noelle Walker first caught up with him two weeks ago. \n\n\n\n“This is my home. Yeah, I’ll be here. I feel like, yeah, comfortable,” Osata said.\n\n\n\nOsato biked from Pittsburgh to Grand Prairie; he says he’s more of a soccer fan than a cyclist. He had never biked for more than an hour before his month-long, 1,500-mile journey to North Texas.\n\n\n\nWalters and Osato connected through Facebook. \n\n\n\nOsato is attending all three of Japan’s group stage matches, including the 4-0 win over Tunisia in Monterrey, Mexico. He was supposed to bus there, because the bike ride was too long; however, a Mexican airline offered him a free plane ticket.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“When he went to Mexico for the second Japan match, he got a free plane ticket and a place to stay. He got to stay with friends, my friends, and they took him everywhere,” Walters said.\n\n\n\nOsata also attended Wednesday’s welcome party at Harwood Park in Downtown Dallas. Hundreds of fans showed up dressed in blue to enjoy barbecue and live music.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWalters made Osato lunch before the big party – tostadas. Walters said he’s become like a son to her; she has 5 kids of her own.\n\n\n\n“He has become family. We have already told him that if he ever meets a beautiful Japanese girl or Latina, we will go for both,” Walters said. \n\n\n\nWalters is not the only person helping Osato on his trip.\n\n\n\n“I was going to drop him off to the game, the first game that Japan had here. And I didn’t have to because a luxury shuttle showed up at the door to pick them both up.”\n\n\n\nOsato has been taking in Texas culture, like sombrero shopping and eating Tex-Mex. He was even gifted a custom Mexico jersey from one of Walters’ friends with his name and Japan’s flag on the back. He’s also met other Japan fans, who have become friends. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“This doesn’t end here. This is just the beginning of a lifetime friendship,” Walter said.\n\n\n\nJapan plays Sweden tonight at 6 p.m. with a spot in the knockout rounds on the line. Japan could still qualify as a third-place team with a loss, but it would depend on tie-breakers with teams in other groups. \n\n\n\nRex’s in Fort Worth is hosting a Japan American Society of DFW watch party tonight. \n\n\n\nPlano also hosted a welcome party for Japan fans ahead of their first match in Dallas two weeks ago.\n\n\n\nThe team that wins Group F will play Morocco in Monterrey, Mexico, on Monday, June 29, at 8 p.m. CST. The second-place team will play Brazil the same day in Houston at noon.

Last year, Texas became the largest state to require every classroom to display the Ten Commandments.\n\n\n\nThe proposed list has drawn fierce opposition. Critics argue that it violates the constitutional separation of church and state, lacks diversity and favors Christianity over other religions. Supporters say Judeo-Christian traditions were fundamental to the nation’s founding and that should be reflected in the public school curriculum.\n\n\n\nHere’s what to know about the proposal and the broader fight over religion in public schools:\n\n\n\nState Board of Education Chair Aaron Kinsey speaks during a meeting on proposed social studies standards at the Barbara Jordan Building in Austin on Monday, June 22, 2026. The board is considering revisions that would place greater emphasis on Christian history and biblical content in public school classrooms.\n\n\n\nRepublicans and Trump have pushed more religion into classrooms\n\n\n\nPresident Donald Trump has pledged to protect and expand religious expression in public schools nationwide, and Texas — a red state that is home to about one in 10 of all U.S. public school students — often sets the agenda.\n\n\n\nIn 2023, Texas became the first state to allow chaplains to be hired to counsel students, and the following year, the board narrowly approved an optional Bible-infused curriculum for elementary schools. Last year, Republican lawmakers required public schools to display the Ten Commandments, a measure recently upheld by a federal appeals court.\n\n\n\nTexas has about 5.5 million public school students from kindergarten through high school. If approved by the board, the required reading list would take effect in 2030.\n\n\n\n“We need to focus on what our nation was founded on and not apologize for that,” Susan Perez, founder of Citizens for Education Reform, told the education board during testimony this week. “It is the truth and we should not be afraid.”\n\n\n\nList requires Bible readings from elementary to high school\n\n\n\nPicture-book stories for elementary students, including “Noah’s Ark,” “David and Goliath,” and “Daniel and the Lion’s Den,” are on the required reading list. By fourth grade, students would encounter passages about Jesus in the New Testament.\n\n\n\nBy middle school, students would be expected to read several passages about Jesus, including one from his most famous sermon and another in which he instructs people to cast aside earthly anxiety and seek the kingdom of God. Another would connect a reading from the Book of Lamentations and its themes of the destruction of Jerusalem with readings about the Holocaust.\n\n\n\nIn high school, students would read the parable of the prodigal son, portions of the Book of Job, and the story of Adam and Eve.\n\n\n\nSome education observers said Texas may be the first state to enact a required reading list, with the added layer of mandated religious text.\n\n\n\nAntero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University professor, said he doesn’t know of any other state that has such a list. Educators at the district and school level usually choose what texts their students will read, Garcia said.\n\n\n\nKasey Meehan, director of PEN America’s Freedom to Read program, said she believes such a mandated reading list would be “unique” to Texas.\n\n\n\n“I think there’s lots of state lists that exist that are like advised readings, suggested readings,” she said.\n\n\n\nCritics say the proposal favors Christianity over other religions\n\n\n\nThe required readings rely heavily on the King James Bible, one of the most popular translations, and more recent evangelical translations that critics argue lean too heavily on Christian interpretations of the texts.\n\n\n\nOther critics question whether religious stories should be taught at all in schools attended by thousands of children of Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu and other faiths, and others who identify as atheist or agnostic.\n\n\n\n“I do think that it’s disturbing that there are no texts from other religious traditions that are included,” said Frank Strong, an English and journalism teacher and co-founder of the student advocacy group Texas Freedom to Read.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/texas-news/what-to-know-texas-push-bible-stories-required-reading-public-schools/4041176/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Jim Vertuno and Jamie Stengle | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:09:02.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2282950700.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D2936%2C1652","slug":"what-to-know-about-the-push-to-make-bible-stories-required-reading-in-texas-public-schools"},{"id":"extfp3","title":"Germany has clinched Group E, what else is at stake tonight?","excerpt":"Germany has won the group and will play in Boston on Monday, June 29, at 3:30 p.m. Their opponent is still to be determined.\n\n\n\nCôte d’Ivoire will qualify as Group E runners-up and play either France or Norway in the Round of 32 at Dallas Stadium on June 30 at noon if they win or draw against Cur...","content":"Germany has won the group and will play in Boston on Monday, June 29, at 3:30 p.m. Their opponent is still to be determined.\n\n\n\nCôte d’Ivoire will qualify as Group E runners-up and play either France or Norway in the Round of 32 at Dallas Stadium on June 30 at noon if they win or draw against Curaçao.

Japan also advances with a draw as they lead Sweden on points. \n\n\n\nIf Sweden loses, the Netherlands automatically advances regardless of their result. The Netherlands needs to match or improve on Japan’s result to win the group, since they’re level on points. The Netherlands would still qualify with a loss as long as Japan and Sweden don’t tie; if both things happen, the Netherlands would still have a chance to qualify as a second or third-place team, depending on tie-breakers.

And so that probably led to the songs that we all know and love and are part of the U.S. Men’s National Team, their unofficial anthem for the World Cup. So I think we’re gonna take as much credit as we can get for having this legend for the time he was in Fort Worth,” Martens said. \n\n\n\nNBC News reports that a spokesperson for U.S. Soccer said FIFA had asked teams to submit potential playlists for warmups, goals, and wins. When trying to determine suitable postgame songs for wins, the team sought ones that were “both representative of American artists and would be great sing-alongs for the crowd.”\n\n\n\n“Take Me Home, Country Roads” and “Livin’ on a Prayer” were the winners. The shortlist also included “Sweet Caroline,” according to the spokesperson, but England had already used that song.\n\n\n\nDenver’s lyrics “Country roads, take me home / To the place I belong / West Virginia, mountain mama / Take me home, country roads,” are recognized around the world.\n\n\n\nBut Martens says, Denver had never been to The Mountain State.\n\n\n\n“Supposedly at that time, he had never been been to West Virginia and he’d never even been that far in the United States and so it was really just a nostalgic song of coming home and you know getting back to your family and the place that you loved and I think that now connects with people more than ever and especially during this time where there’s so much pride in our teams and you, know our individual cities that are participating in the World Cup,” Martens said. \n\n\n\nAn article on the U.S. soccer website about the song quotes midfielder Sebastian Berhalter saying the atmosphere in Seattle Stadium after the win over Australia last week was insane, and the singing of “Country Roads” was pretty special.\n\n\n\nFans in the stands posted numerous videos on social media of the giant sing-along in Seattle.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe U.S. Men’s National Team and their fans hope to belt it out loud and proud all the way to a World Cup win. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/usmnt-anthem-take-me-home-has-ties-to-fort-worth/4041050/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Deborah Ferguson","publishDate":"2026-06-25T07:03:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2282406511.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4000%2C2668","slug":"usmnt-anthem-take-me-home-has-ties-to-fort-worth"},{"id":"crh7yt","title":"Allen's JP Hurlbert is ‘proof' hockey dreams can come true in Texas","excerpt":"IRVING — There may not be a place where J.P.

According to the Fort Worth Fire Department, firefighters arrived within four minutes of the calls, but found heavy flames already coming from multiple sides of the house.\n\n\n\nOfficials said one child died in the fire. Two children were airlifted to the hospital after being rescued by a citizen, another child was taken by ambulance, and one child was not injured. Two adults living in the home were also unharmed. Officials said seven people total live in the home and did not confirm the exact ages of the children.\n\n\n\nWhat if it was one of my kids? I would want to have somebody act immediately. It’s the right thing to do.Leon Segura, who is being hailed a hero for saving two children from a burning home.\n\n\n\nFort Worth Fire Department has not shared more details on the circumstances surrounding the fire.\n\n\n\nBefore firefighters arrived, police officers who were nearby helped respond and worked to prevent family members from running back into the burning home as crews battled the flames.\n\n\n\n“It was just loud popping like if it was fireworks and then you could smell the smoke coming in through the window. Then we came out and there was flames. And I saw a guy carrying out two kids and the kids looked really bad, their hands were burned,” said neighbor and witness Estefania Montes.\n\n\n\nLeon Segura, who officials said rescued two girls from a burning home in Fort Worth Thursday morning, shows the bandages and stitches from his wounds from punching out a glass door.\n\n\n\nBefore first responders got to the scene, a good Samaritan also rushed in to help. Leon Segura told NBC 5 he was driving by when he saw the flames and heard screaming. He said he jumped out of the car and rushed to the burning home.\n\n\n\n“I tried to kick down the front door, and it was really hot. Couldn’t get in at all. The flames were really super hot. I kept on hearing screaming and crying. So that’s whenever I ran to the back and it was a big old screen glass door. So I punched it and it broke,” Segura said. “I told myself, ‘Lord help me,’ and I knew I had to get those girls out,” he said.\n\n\n\nSegura said he wrapped his face with a bandana before going inside and found the children close by.

And that’s whenever the back house started booming and banging,” Segura recalled.\n\n\n\nHe said that after he carried out the second child, the fire took over, and he didn’t know that there was a third child inside the home. By that point, firefighters arrived on scene to begin their work.\n\n\n\nThe two girls he rescued were transported by CareFlite to burn units in critical condition, according to officials.\n\n\n\nSegura suffered cuts to his arm and hand from punching through the glass. He spoke with NBC 5 shortly after being treated and released from the hospital.\n\n\n\n“I’m just really glad that the little girls are OK. And that’s really what matters. I have an 18-year-old and a 17-year-old daughter. I mean, what if it was one of my kids? I would want to have somebody act immediately. It’s the right thing to do,” Segura said. \n\n\n\nFire officials credited Segura’s quick actions with helping save lives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“We were here within four minutes, but that four minutes is crucial,” said Fort Worth Fire Department spokesperson Craig Trojacek. “You’ve got a house full of kids. And that four minutes is everything. So I can’t say enough about the actions of Mister Segura this morning. There’s no doubt those two kids that he pulled out, they’re here because of him.”\n\n\n\nInvestigators remained on scene throughout the morning, working to determine the cause of the fire. Arson investigators were called in, which officials said is standard when the cause is unknown.\n\n\n\nFire officials have not yet given an update on the conditions of the injured.\n\n\n\nPolice also brought in a chaplain and additional officers to support the family, and mental health resources are being provided for first responders working the scene.\n\n\n\n“Any type of fatality involved, it’s hard for our folks. They second-guess themselves. They try to wonder what they could have done better, but they may have done differently,” said Trojacek. “But any time you hear of a kid, it takes it to a whole other level. We are dads and moms, it hits us tough.”\n\n\n\nThe home sustained heavy damage and the American Red Cross responded to provide emergency financial disaster assistance to the displaced family.\n\n\n\nFort Worth Fire Department released another statement Thursday afternoon saying, “Our hearts hurt for these children and we are holding them in our prayers as they fight for their lives. We once again want to thank the good Samaritan for his heroic efforts in pulling some of the children from the home. As you process the heaviness and magnitude of this devastating incident, please take the time to make sure you have working smoke alarms in your home.”\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/child-dead-several-hurt-in-fort-worth-house-fire/4041012/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-06-25T05:06:46.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FIMG_6494.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5712%2C3213","slug":"hero-forces-his-way-into-a-burning-home-to-save-2-children-from-a-growing-deadly-fire"},{"id":"a22q4m","title":"North Texas is hot and getting hotter","excerpt":"The hot, humid, and windy weather will continue through the end of the month.

The permit is for up to 999 people in attendance, with setup for the event on July 2 and take down on July 4. CBS News also confirmed the permit application after The New York Times first reported sources saying Swift was renting the Garden, which seats up to 19,500 people. The Times report said Swift and Kelce were planning a gathering of 100 people at the arena on July 2 followed by a second event with about 1,000 guests on July 3. There are no public events planned at the Garden from June 29 until a Bon Jovi concert on July 7. Este Haim, Taylor Swift, and Mariska Hargitay at Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. \n \n Al Bello / Getty Images\n\n Public records show that New York City issued a permit for loading and unloading theatrical materials at MSG from June 29 to July 4. Winick Productions, a company that has produced red carpet events for the Grammy and Tony award shows and movie premieres, also applied for a permit to set up a canopy or tent outside the Garden for an event involving up to 999 people.Meanwhile, just a few weeks prior, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani jokingly referenced the reports of Swift and Kelce's wedding during a press conference. Mamdani was answering questions about safety during the World Cup when he said, \"We know it coincides with July Fourth, America 250, Taylor Swift's wedding all happening at the same time, and we are so excited to welcome the world here.\"Mamdani, however, said he was not invited to the wedding.\"I wish them a lovely wedding. I'll listen to 'Only the Young' at home on my own,\" he said, referencing one of Swift's songs.MSG is a fortress, has hosted weddings beforeMadison Square Garden may not scream \"bridal,\" but the venue is available for private rentals, advertising a banquet capacity for 1,250 — or 2,000 if you are only serving cocktails. And it has hosted weddings before. Sly Stone got married to Kathy Silva there in 1974 before thousands of fans. And more than 2,000 couples were wed in a mass ceremony at the Garden officiated by the Rev. Sun Myung Moon in 1982.Located above Penn Station, the busiest rail hub in the U.S., the Garden doesn't scream \"privacy\" either. But it does have guarded entrances, a secure garage and a lack of windows, which would allow Kelce, Swift and celebrity guests to stay out of sight of photographers or camera-equipped drones.Swift and Kelce attended Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals together in Cleveland.\n \n Jason Miller / Getty Images\n\n That need for privacy popped up earlier in June when a large tent appeared next door to Swift's Watch Hill estate in Rhode Island. Despite organizers denying the event was for Swift, a wave of speculation bubbled up online as photographers and some Swifties headed to the town to see if they could catch a glimpse of a possible wedding.Yet others have theorized that the MSG buzz could be an elaborate smoke screen to throw off attention to the couple's real wedding plans. Swift did once write, \"No, you can't come to the wedding,\" in her song \"But Daddy I Love Him,\" which some fans have been reupping lately as a reminder that the wedding isn't supposed to be a public spectacle.Swift was also sitting courtside at MSG for Game 4 of the NBA Finals as the Knicks took down the Spurs. Friends, family, celebrities expected to attendSwift joked in October that \"anyone I've ever talked to\" would be invited to the wedding, telling Graham Norton that she believed \"the only stressful weddings\" are those that are small and force people to make aggressive cuts to the guest list.Yet just who exactly will show up is to be determined. The Times reported several Kansas City Chiefs players have booked hotel rooms in Midtown Manhattan on July 2 and July 3.Aside from family, Kelce's teammate Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany Mahomes, will likely be in attendance. For Swift, close friends like Selena Gomez, Abigail Anderson Berard, the Haim sisters, Emma Stone and Gigi Hadid will all likely attend.Chiefs coach Andy Reid said he couldn't talk about it when asked by The Associated Press if he was going to the wedding.\"If it's like when I got married, my wife did everything, so I just kind of followed her lead on it, showed up, right? Maybe he's doing more but he looks like he's pretty focused in on this job here, too,\" Reid said in early June.NFL tight end George Kittle confirmed he's invited, but told \"Entertainment Tonight\" he didn't know if it was taking place at Madison Square Garden.Swift's history of Fourth of July partiesPerhaps another clue why the week of the Fourth of July makes sense for Swift and Kelce's wedding is that the popstar has long been known for throwing elaborate parties over the American holiday.It wasn't too long ago that fans dubbed her Fourth of July events as \"Taymerica,\" where celebrities showed up at her Rhode Island estate wearing red, white and blue swimsuits, waving American flags and eventually shared some social media photos with the public.The timing also works with Kelce's football schedule, given the tight end once joked on his \"New Heights\" podcast, \"Don't make my friends have to choose whether or not they have to sell their tickets that week.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-wedding-madison-square-garden/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-28T03:49:02.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F27%2Fb48c6851-6485-4152-9d43-84ac661502a6%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F0d380ce0e24aed1229dc1f2d3019ad2e%2Fgettyimages-2277901710.jpg","slug":"are-taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-getting-married-at-madison-square-garden-heres-what-we-know"},{"id":"yy1zou","title":"North Texas tourist spots see visitor increases during World Cup","excerpt":"North Texas is only halfway into a summer of nine World Cup matches, and some of the region's most popular tourist destinations say they have already benefited from thousands of out‑of‑town visitors.

From the Stockyards to Southfork Ranch, DFW's signature sites report a spike in summer business.Swedish soccer fans visiting North Texas are also showing their enthusiasm for the TV show Dallas. A group from Sweden toured Southfork Ranch in Parker after attending last night's match in Arlington.\"We grew up watching this series, and it's something Dallas is known for,\" said Anders Olsson, visiting from Sweden.The group said the show was a weekly tradition in Sweden in the early 1980s, when families gathered to watch it on one of the country's two TV channels.Southfork's international appealSouthfork Ranch operators say the home of J.R. Ewing remains a major draw for fans from the 56 countries where the series aired over parts of five decades. Welcome signs for every World Cup country are displayed on-site, and visitors from Belgium, Austria, and Brazil have already signed them.\"They all have these wonderful stories about watching it with parents or grandparents,\" said Lucretia Buckett, Southfork Ranch operations manager. \"That was the thing after dinner – we all sat down together and did it as a family.\"Southfork reports a 62% increase in foot traffic through June.Other DFW attractions see growthOther North Texas destinations – including the Fort Worth Stockyards, Sundance Square, and La Gran Plaza – report an 8% increase in out‑of‑market visitors compared to the same time last year.The Sixth Floor Museum in Dealey Plaza has expanded to seven‑day‑a‑week operations during the World Cup.

Looking at the four most recent independent polls between June 1 and 21st, they show Paxton ahead of Talarico by a hair-splitting 1.25 percentage points. Paxton has 45.75%, and Talarico has 44.5%.President Trump and other Republican leaders, including Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, have said they will campaign in Texas for Paxton. As previously reported, Paxton reportedly said during a recent tele-town hall that Republicans will hold a special midterm convention at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.A source told CBS News Texas that the first two weeks of the facility have been reserved by the RNC, but it has not been officially booked yet. Republican Michael Williams, a former Texas Railroad Commissioner and former Texas Education Agency Commissioner, told CBS News Texas that the President should come to the Lone Star State, starting right away, because he motivates the grassroots. \"I think he needs to pitch a tent in Texas,\" said Williams. \"He needs to change his voter registration from Florida and move somewhere in Texas. He needs to be here on the regular, campaigning for Attorney General Paxton.\" Williams praised the idea of a midterm convention in Dallas. \"Conventions energize your voters and energize your volunteers. It gives you an opportunity to get free TV time for your candidates. That would be a great idea,\" he said.After months of speculation, the President endorsed Paxton over incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn on the second day of early voting for the primary runoff. Paxton won by a landslide, 28 percentage points. Senate Republican leaders had urged Mr. Trump to back Cornyn because they believed he would have easily defeated Talarico, while Paxton would have a tougher hill to climb. Williams said, \"He put his thumb on the scale. He broke it. He owns it. Therefore, in order to make sure that we not only win Texas, that we do not lose the U.S. Senate, that we do not change the narrative about Texas and Texas Republican victories, he needs to be here.\"During the midterm election, Williams said he believes Texas is ground zero. \"The narrative has always been that we're red, that we're redder than red. Democrats don't have a chance in Texas. The last thing we want to do is to give Democrats one inkling of an idea that they can win a statewide race in Texas,\" said Williams. \"If you lose Texas, it's my sense that you'll lose one or more of those other five U.S. Senate seats that are up for election right now. But this is one that Democrats have not won,\" he added. \"Democrats have not won a U.S. Senate race since Lloyd Bentsen won in 1988. They haven't won a statewide race of any kind since 1994.\"While Republicans in Texas have had a structural advantage for decades, Williams said this year the party can't be complacent. \"This is a different cycle. In this particular cycle, it is extremely important for Republicans to mend the sort of division between Senator Cornyn and [Attorney] General Paxton and his voters,\" Williams added. \"Paxton is going to have to work really hard to make sure that those 30% of voters who voted for Senator Cornyn to, number one, show up and, number two, vote in the U.S. Senate race, as well as those other down-ballot races, and vote for Paxton. That's going to take some humility on the General's part. There are certain Republicans who right now are saying I don't know if I can vote for A.G. Paxton.\"During a conversation with Patrick on his newly launched podcast called \"Lt. Dan\", Paxton said he hopes to get together with Cornyn. \"If it's up to me, we will. You have to have both parties willing,\" said Paxton. \"I don't know what John is going to decide. I haven't heard back from him. I'd be happy to talk to him. I'd love to have his help and support.\" While Cornyn has not endorsed Paxton individually, he has repeatedly said he supports the Republican ticket. Williams said he doubts Cornyn will back Paxton. \"That full-throated endorsement is not coming, so, at this point, I think it's less about what the Senator does and more about what the AG does,\" Williams said. \"The AG has to go back and rally Cornyn voters. He has to speak directly to traditional conservatives, maybe I should call them the Bushites. He has to talk to that part of the party that built this party and make sure they're on board going forward.\"Ad Impact Politics estimates the projected overall political ad spending in Texas this year will total $850 million. That's nearly $290 million higher than originally thought last year. In the Senate race alone, Ad Impact Politics predicts $446 million will be spent when it's all said and done. Talarico began airing a new ad in many Texas media markets last week, including the DFW market. It's called \"Drowning\" and focuses on lowering costs. Paxton released his own ad called \"Hypocrite\", which focuses on Talarico's record. It aired in the Corpus Christi market, where Texas Democrats held their party convention, which wrapped up Saturday.

I'm not going to say that it's not,\" Randall told Jack Fink. \"The infighting has been pretty high. But with the race that I just won, all I ran on was 'I have a plan, and I have a plan for the Republican Party of Texas to succeed. I have a plan for the midterms.'\" Randall said she wants to engage the young people who have gotten involved in politics. \"Since Charlie Kirk's assassination, we had 86,000 chapters of Turning Point that grew and prospered all over America and in Texas. It's the same way our youth are very engaged,\" she said. \"But if we do not capture that, if they don't feel they have a partner, then they are going to go about their lives, and they're not going to be part of the party.\" \"I've got to make sure that I capitalize on that,\" Randall added. \"Get them involved, and we have a back bench for Republicans that are coming up in the future. Having a direction, having a vision, having a product that everybody believes in, that's how you bring unity.\" She unified the party in a big way during the State Republican convention in Houston recently. Randall, the party's Vice Chair, defeated Abraham George, the party chairman. \"We won by 80% of the vote. So that was historical for the Republican Party of Texas, and it's a mandate for me. It's also something that I've got to live up to,\" said Randall. \"All factions of the Republican Party voted for me. It was the grassroots, the far right - which I am - and it's the ones that are more moderate. They all said we've got to have a different direction because the midterms are right around the corner,\" she said.The four most recent independent polls on the Texas Senate race show it's a dead heat between Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democratic State Representative James Talarico of Austin. The average of those polls shows Paxton leads Talarico by 1.3 percentage points, 45.8% to 44.5%. One question Randall said she is facing is how to ensure Republicans who supported Senator John Cornyn in the contentious primary and runoff will turn out to vote for Paxton, rather than Talarico or staying home altogether. \"That's one of the questions that everybody is asking right now,\" said Randall. \"Two weeks is a lifetime in politics. We've got until November to show everybody what Talarico is, what he wants to do for the state. His policies and his thinking are beyond anything I've ever heard, that Jesus is non-binary, and he's supposedly a pastor and all of these things. But it's also that he missed over 700 votes whenever he was in office. You have to look at his record. You have to look at his rhetoric because what he is saying in his rhetoric is what he wants to do in policy.\"Randall said some Cornyn voters have already decided to back the Attorney General. \"I had a call today before I got here with Cornyn voters who are saying, 'Yes, we have to vote for Ken Paxton.' Paxton has had a tremendous record as Attorney General, and he was a senator [state]. So, we have to look at his successes. They are starting to see that Texas will fail if we have somebody like Talarico in there.\"The party has been fighting to close its primaries, something Randall said she supports. \"The Democrat Party should never choose our elected officials in the Republican Party, just like we should never choose theirs,\" she said. When asked if that happens, Randall said, \"There's been a few races. David Covey, who's the Vice Chair, he ran against Dade Phelan (former Texas Speaker of the House), and when Dade looked like he was going to lose, he made a deal with Democrats, and 2,000 of them came over and voted. David only lost by 366 votes. The thing is, it's only Republicans who vote for me and vote for the Vice Chair. So, why, if it's good enough for the leadership to only have Republicans vote for us, then why can't we do that with every nominee?\" During the party's convention, Governor Greg Abbott announced his support for closing the Republican primaries. Randall said, \"I'm very excited to see that Governor Abbott is embracing it as well because I think that we really have a chance of making that happen.\"This week's full episode can be found below:Watch Eye On Politics at 7:30 Sunday morning on CBS News Texas on air and streamingFollow Jack on X & Instagram: @cbs11jack ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/new-texas-gop-republican-chair-drinda-randall-discusses-vision-unifying-party-midterm-election-november/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jack Fink","publishDate":"2026-06-28T10:00:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F27%2Fbc0152b2-c661-4db6-a14c-eb70e902847a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1e46354abdbdc7ce2beb745c5f5ae831%2Fscreenshot-2026-06-26-210327.png","slug":"new-texas-gop-chair-drinda-randall-discusses-her-vision-for-unifying-the-party-in-time-for-the-midte"},{"id":"aibqem","title":"World Cup crowds pack watch spots across DFW","excerpt":"Across the Dallas-Fort Worth area, World Cup excitement is spilling far beyond the stadium.

Our earlier story is below.At least 235 people were killed and some 4,300 injured by a pair of powerful earthquakes that rocked Venezuela Wednesday evening, officials said Thursday. The toll was likely to keep rising as rescuers continued searching collapsed buildings and emergency crews raced to access devastated areas. \"Unfortunately we have received around 235 patients who arrive without vital signs or die when they arrive at our health facilities,\" Health Minister Carlos Alvarado told state media Thursday.The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblors had magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5. The agency's predictive modeling indicated the quakes could have killed thousands of people, with a 42% chance of at least 10,000 fatalities, though that is based on historical averages and does not take into account many factors specific to this event.Communities across the country sustained damage. La Guaira, on the nation's northern coast, apparently was the hardest hit state, Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodriguez said.\"Dozens of buildings have collapsed and we are engaged in the arduous task of rescuing the lives that God allows us to save. The state of La Guaira is facing a true tragedy and has become a disaster zone,\" she said.Rescue workers and municipal police officers work at the site of a collapsed building following an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026. \n \n Manaure QUINTERO /AFP via Getty Images\n\n The earthquakes, among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century, roiled the region, with buildings evacuated in cities and areas impacted as far as Brazil's Amazon, about 1,050 miles from Venezuela's capital of Caracas.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media early Thursday that, at President Trump's direction, the U.S. is deploying search teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid to Venezuela.Rubio spoke with Rodriguez and offered the full assistance of the U.S., a State Department official told CBS News, adding that those efforts were already underway. Rodriguez later confirmed the call in a social media post.Earlier, Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform: \"The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths. The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good!\"A senior American military official arrived in Caracas to oversee U.S. relief efforts, the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) wrote on social media on Friday. U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Kevin J. Jarrard will be the senior SOUTHCOM official on the ground, SOUTHCOM said.The U.S. Treasury on Thursday moved to waive some sanctions until Oct. 23 to allow transactions related to earthquake relief efforts in Venezuela that would otherwise be prohibited.Jeremy P. Lewin, the U.S. undersecretary of state for foreign assistance, said the State Department had mobilized a disaster assistance team and task force to coordinate the aid in coordination with the interim Venezuelan government.Offers of help came from governments including those of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama and Uruguay. In a brief address to the nation late Wednesday, Rodriguez declared a state of emergency.The quakes damaged the country's main airport, Simón Bolívar International Airport, severely enough to lead to its closure, she said, adding that classes at the nation's schools were being canceled for several days.Rescuers search for victims in a collapsed building following earthquakes in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026. \n \n Manaure Quintero /AFP via Getty Images\n\n \"We urge our population to remain calm,\" Rodríguez said. \"We urge unity.\"Rodríguez also asked all healthcare professionals in the country to report to hospitals to assist anyone who was injured. The Ministry of Education late Wednesday said some schools would be used as shelters and donation centers.Two strong quakes less than a minute apartThe first earthquake was centered 17.6 miles northwest of the town of Montalbán, the USGS said, and struck at a depth of 8.2 miles. It was preliminarily reported as a 7.1 magnitude quake before being upgraded to a 7.2. Less than one minute later, a second earthquake measuring at a magnitude of 7.5 struck just north of the first. It was centered about 21 miles northwest of Montalbán. \"This earthquake was the second event in a doublet, this magnitude 7.5 mainshock was preceded just 39 seconds before by a 7.2 foreshock,\" the USGS said.The quakes briefly triggered tsunami advisories in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, per the National Weather Service's U.S. Tsunami Warning System. Those advisories were later canceled. People remained on the streets of Caracas for hours, even after sunset. Some sat on the ground hugging their pets as dust gathered around them. Collapsed buildings, toppled electric poles and debris blocked streets. Parts of the capital lost power and cellphone signal. The lack of cellphone signal in parts of Venezuela deepened the distress of many families, particularly those among the more than 7.7 million people who have left the country during its protracted crisis.People evacuated swaying buildings in Caracas and remained outside, many visibly shocked as they saw entire walls that had collapsed, making furniture visible from the street. Dust columns could also be seen in two neighborhoods of the capital, where restaurants and other businesses are typically busy. Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said the Altamira neighborhood in Caracas had \"alarming situations\" with collapsed homes and buildings. He urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage some structures.\"We understand that some people may be desperate, but we are acting according to protocols to activate aid and rescue efforts to help those who need it most,\" Cabello said on state TV. \"Be very careful with children and the elderly; call each other and check that no one has been harmed.\" He also urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage some structures.People walk amid debris after an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026.\n \n AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos\n\n Maria Alejandra, a woman who escaped a collapsed building in Caracas, told Reuters that \"all the walls were cracked\" when the earthquakes struck. \"We managed to open the door however we could,\" she said. \"There was a cloud of smoke that wouldn't let us see. And when we went downstairs, the scene was like a horror movie. We had to climb over the rubble and everything. The building superintendent with the baby and all the neighbors coming down. But from that building, I only saw that one family got out.\"An Agence France-Presse journalist saw a 22-story building completely destroyed in Caracas' Altamira neighborhood, where people cried out relatives' names as volunteers climbed over the rubble.

Unreal. The force was incredibly strong,\" Caracas resident Roberto Damas said. \"We were walking and it was tossing us around. Everything in the apartment fell. Well, thank God we were able to get out.\"Exiled Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wrote on X, \"My heart, my infinite embrace, and my prayers are with every Venezuelan home in these hours of anguish. May strength, serenity, and solidarity prevail among us in the face of this difficult moment.\"In a video message, she encouraged people to help however they can. \"We are once again receiving infinite offers of generosity from Venezuelans abroad,\" Machado said, adding, \"We must help distribute those supplies in an efficient way. We must accompany, console those who are alone, the elderly who have lost everything, their homes, their belongings. The children who are missing adult relatives.\"Buildings in Manaus, Belem and Macapá in Brazil's Amazon were evacuated, according to reports on TV Globo.The quakes were also felt in Colombia's Caribbean and northeast regions, but there were no reports of damage or injuries. The Colombian Maritime Authority said in a statement that the country's Caribbean coast wasn't at risk of a tsunami.Strong earthquakes are unusual in Venezuela.While the country sits near multiple fault lines, its position straddling the South American and Caribbean plates makes earthquakes much less common than in other parts of Latin America. Along the Pacific coast — in Mexico and Chile, for example — earthquakes are frequent. Those two countries sit along the seismically active tectonic belt known as the \"Pacific Ring of Fire,\" responsible for 90% of earthquakes, according to the USGS.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/venezuela-earthquakes-death-toll-damage-la-guaira/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T07:17:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2F9a4dd9cd-5527-4147-b3bd-90f9e585f432%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ffd3fae840840a915c15b90b810d1507c%2Fap26175859797047.jpg","slug":"venezuela-earthquakes-cause-widespread-damage-hundreds-dead-or-injured-officials-say"},{"id":"l0cql8","title":"North Texas ranked high in US for drones seized at World Cup events","excerpt":"Just 23 minutes before the first FIFA World Cup match between the Netherlands and Japan last week, as tens of thousands of fans filed into Dallas Stadium, an FBI task force officer conducting drone countersurveillance was notified about an unmanned aircraft flying within the Temporary Flight Rest...","content":"Just 23 minutes before the first FIFA World Cup match between the Netherlands and Japan last week, as tens of thousands of fans filed into Dallas Stadium, an FBI task force officer conducting drone countersurveillance was notified about an unmanned aircraft flying within the Temporary Flight Restriction airspace. \n\n\n\n“That’s the real serious threat, is you can launch it from a couple of miles away and within a matter of seconds, you could be over a place where there’s a lot of folks,” United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould said.\n\n\n\nOfficials said the task force officer then located and made contact with Luis Mauricio Flores Ordonez. According to court documents, the Honduran national confirmed that he was the operator of the drone, which authorities say was not registered. Flores was taken into federal custody and charged with a felony count of owning an unregistered aircraft.\n\n\n\n“In this situation, we charged willful violation of the law, which is a felony and so that means that we thought that there was evidence that demonstrated willfulness, like knowingly and willfully violating the law,” Raybould said. \n\n\n\nRaybould said the arrest was one of the first in the nation addressing drones flying over restricted airspace during World Cup events.\n\n\n\nDespite declining to comment on the specifics of the case, Raybould did say that a number of factors go into a decision about whether to charge a drone operator, including any previous criminal history, previous warnings and overall drone knowledge.\n\n\n\nThe FBI said more than 300 drones have been seized near or at FIFA World Cup venues since the tournament started on June 11. So far in North Texas, FBI Dallas says 53 drones have been seized.\n\n\n\nRaybould said his office has more active investigations into drone incursions and more charges are pending. He said the majority of drone seizures have been at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, with 34 drones seized, and 19 drones have been seized from Fan Fest at Dallas Fair Park.\n\n\n\nNone of the drones was carrying bombs or any other dangerous materials. Still, Raybould and the FBI continue to warn North Texans of the consequences of flying drones over restricted airspace.

He added that there was a 5-year-old girl running around without any clothes on.\"It was just one of the most unbelievable scenes, that the police have seen, that I've reviewed in my 22 years as prosecuting attorney,\" Leyton said.

She had two small kids, the COVID-19 pandemic was raging, and she and her husband were in the middle of renovating a farmhouse they had recently purchased. It made sense stress would spike her blood pressure. Her doctor recommended some minor lifestyle changes, but didn't seem alarmed. Other symptoms escalated slowly. Williams' feet became so swollen she had to buy larger shoes. She was fatigued, but more and more frequent bathroom visits kept her from sleeping. Her blood pressure kept rising. Her ankles started swelling, then her legs. Finally, her doctor referred her to a nephrologist, or kidney specialist. That visit, in June 2023, didn't go well, Williams said. The physician assistant she saw did not show interest in the medical records she had printed out and brought, she said. The PA advised her to work to lower her blood pressure, but showed no interest in understanding why it was so high, Williams said. She was told to return in six months. \"I got to my car, and I was just depressed. Something was wrong. I didn't feel taken seriously,\" Williams said. \"I didn't really feel like I had six months to wait.\" Michelle Williams with her husband and children.\n \n Michelle Williams\n\n \"Please help me\" In July 2023, Williams referred herself to the Cleveland Clinic, where her father-in-law had once undergone a kidney transplant. She sent over her medical documentation, along with a \"kind of impassioned letter about 'Please help me, something's wrong.'\" Several weeks later, she was scheduled for two full days of appointments. After a barrage of exams, Williams and her husband made the two-hour drive home. As they pulled into their driveway, her phone rang. The nephrologist she had seen was alarmed by her blood work, and wanted to biopsy her bone marrow and kidney. \"That was kind of scary, right?\" Williams said. \"So we gathered up a few things and turned around and went back.\" Williams had both biopsies done over the next 24 hours. She also answered hundreds of questions meant to help doctors eliminate possible diagnoses. After recovering from the biopsies, she returned home. Tests showed abnormalities in her urine and bone marrow, leading to a diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a form of blood cancer than can cause kidney problems. For nearly six months, she underwent chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Still, Williams' symptoms persisted. \"It really got me thinking: If we are treating the underlying cause and she's not improving, then what else are we looking at and what else are we missing?\" said Dr. Jagmeet Dhingra, a nephrologist at the Cleveland Clinic. \"It didn't sit right that she wasn't showing the response we wanted to see. So we kept looking.\" Michelle Williams and her husband. \n \n Michelle Williams\n\n What is IC‑MPGN? Another round of biopsies showed Williams' bone marrow was healthy, but complex immune deposits were building up in her kidneys. After ruling out all other possibilities, Dhingra finally diagnosed Williams with IC‑MPGN, a kidney disease related to the immune system.The disease is \"one of the rarest\" kidney conditions, said Dr. Carla Nester, a nephrologist, researcher and professor at the University of Iowa. Nester, who was not involved in Williams' care, estimated that only about one to four people per million are diagnosed with IC-MPGN.In most cases, IC-MPGN has no known cause, Nester said. Patients most often notice symptoms like swelling and fatigue, as Williams did. Most people don't get diagnosed until they have \"quite a significant burden of symptoms,\" she said. At the time of Williams' diagnosis, there was no specific treatment for IC-MPGN available. Nester said that until 2025, standard treatment included steroids, immunosuppressants and even chemotherapy. They helped some symptoms, but didn't slow the progression of the disease, Nester said. Patients were told they had about 10 years between diagnosis with IC-MPGN and end-stage kidney disease. Even a kidney transplant only delayed the inevitable, because the underlying condition wasn't being treated. \"We were not fixing the problem. It was a horrible prognosis, frankly,\" Nester said. Finding \"freedom\" in a clinical trial Williams felt trapped. Dhingra was prescribing multiple medications, but they either made no difference or left her feeling unwell. \"For quite a while, I was just in a kind of fog,\" Williams recalled. \"Knowing there wasn't a lot of options, it just felt like I had to make it work.\" Then she received a surprising call in November 2024. Dhingra had learned about pegcetacoplan, a medication still in clinical trials, that was showing potential as a real treatment for IC-MPGN. Williams was nervous, but agreed to join the trial. She was enrolled in February 2025. Things took a turn immediately. \"Right away, we saw change. I was back to my feisty self. I felt like I had freedom back,\" Williams said. Six months later, it became the first medication to be approved by the FDA for the treatment of IC-MPGN. The injectable medication is sold under the brand name Empaveli and is a \"game-changer for patients,\" Dhingra said. \"We were suddenly able to stop using all that other crazy stuff we were doing. We were suddenly able to put patients in remission on targeted therapy, and ... stop using the other things that weren't working well anyway,\" said Nester, who noted the medication is FDA-approved for adults and children over the age of 12. After over a year on the medication, Williams is doing significantly better, Dhingra said. She still sees him every other month for monitoring, but those visits will become more spaced out if her condition stays stable, Dhingra said. Day-to-day life is much more normal: Her swelling is gone and she is on far less medication. \"I don't have that paranoia over me anymore about what I eat, and getting enough sleep,\" Williams said. \"It's kind of been a game changer. I just feel back to myself again.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/rare-disease-kidney-ic-mpgn-cleveland-clinic/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kerry Breen","publishDate":"2026-06-27T12:00:18.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F27%2Fb15ba4cf-5225-40e7-85bb-dfda1192d352%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F295b1623acdbe677c0593c8efa8438eb%2F20240822-0725480.jpg","slug":"a-mom-didnt-feel-taken-seriously-even-as-her-symptoms-worsened-then-tests-found-a-rare-disease"},{"id":"y7ft3b","title":"WNBA suspends Alyssa Thomas for hitting Caitlin Clark in the throat","excerpt":"The Phoenix Mercury's Alyssa Thomas has received a flagrant foul penalty and been suspended for one game after hitting Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark in the throat during a game Wednesday night, the WNBA said Thursday.

The hit happened with 6 minutes and 52 seconds left in the second quarter of the Fever-Mercury game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Thomas' fist made contact with Clark's throat while the two scrambled for the ball. In the moment, no foul was called by referees, which Fever coach Stephanie White called \"egregious\" in comments after the game. \"The fact that it was a no-call … You got to call it,\" White said, adding that the lack of a foul in the moment was \"absolutely unacceptable.\"Phoenix Mercury forward Alyssa Thomas drives to the basket against Indiana Fever guard Caitlin Clark on June 22, 2026, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.\n \n Brian Spurlock/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images\n\n The WNBA's League Office can review any game and assign a flagrant foul, or reclassify a called foul as a flagrant foul, if they believe such measures are warranted. The WNBA's review \"deemed (Thomas) to have committed a non-basketball act\" by recklessly making contact with Clark's throat. The WNBA said that Thomas will serve her suspension on Saturday, June 27, when the Mercury play the Toronto Tempos at home. \"Player safety should be paramount in our league,\" Indiana Fever President Kelly Krauskopf said in a statement posted to social media. \"We appreciate the WNBA's review of last night's incident and the action taken. Right now our focus is on Caitlin and our entire team as we prepare for Saturday.\" This isn't the first time the league has upgraded a foul against Clark. Last season, Marina Mabrey, playing for the Connecticut Sun at the time, was called for a technical foul in a game against Indiana. The league later upgraded it to a Flagrant 2.Clark was also fouled while shooting a 3-pointer later in the second quarter. She fell to the ground after the shot and was seen grabbing her back as she got back up. That foul was not upgraded to a flagrant. Clark eventually left the game during the third quarter, after scoring 19 points and racking up eight assists in 20 minutes of play. The Mercury went on to win 111-109. Clark has a history of back issues, including missing a game against the Portland Fire in May because of it, according to CBS Sports. Clark was limited to 13 games last season due to lower-body issues. The Mercury and the Fever also played on Monday night, a game during which there were six technical fouls called and one ejection. Clark picked up her fifth technical of the season in that game. The team petitioned the league to have it rescinded, but the WNBA confirmed that the technical will stand.

Michigan State Police said in a statement that the police and Child Protective Services \"determined the report was false,\" and condemned false reports to law enforcement. Buttigieg lamented the psychological stress to him, his husband, Chasten, and their twins. Swatting attempts — false calls intended to sic law enforcement on a target's home — have become increasingly common for political and public figures. Several days ago, Buttigieg said Friday in a post on Substack, a team from Child Protective Services showed up to his house and said an allegation had been leveled against him concerning the twins, whom the couple adopted in 2021. \"I was bewildered and troubled, but tried to stay calm,\" Buttigieg wrote. \"I'm used to any number of falsehoods, attacks, and serious problems being thrown my way. What I didn't understand was what could have led to this kind of visit. Then, the CPS worker told me something that made my stomach turn: I was not to be alone around the children, at least until the interview took place the next day. They asked if I had relatives nearby or could perhaps stay at a hotel for the night.\"Buttigieg said he and his husband, Chasten, were left in the dark about the allegations as they agreed to send the children to their grandparents' home overnight. \"The 24 hours until they returned are among the darkest hours of my life. I tried to get my head around the idea that I had been accused of something so serious that I couldn't be alone around my own children, and had consented to have them interviewed by strangers, without my knowing where the accusation had come from or even what it contained,\" he wrote. After local authorities probed the situation and spoke to the twins, an officer explained what the allegation was during Buttigieg's formal interview. \"An anonymous caller had contacted CPS,\" Buttigieg said. \"The caller said that he had spoken to a woman who claimed to have met me at a conference several years ago in Alabama, where she said I told her that I had committed unspeakable violent crimes, and the caller believed my children were still at risk. That was all.\"Buttigieg — who called the authorities who visited his home \"courteous and professional\" — said he told the police officer he had never been to the town where the accuser claimed to have met him.\"Then the officer made clear that he believed this was politically motivated, and said it would not be referred to a prosecutor. Nothing in the forensic interview with the children, which was conducted by trained personnel, had led to concerns,\" the former presidential candidate continued. \"After the officer spoke, the CPS worker likewise indicated she had not found anything to substantiate the allegation, though her process would take a bit longer to be formally completed.\"In a statement to CBS News, the Michigan State Police said it received an \"anonymous report\" this week, and the law enforcement agency and Child Protective Services \"responded and determined the report was false.\"\"False reports are dangerous and divert law enforcement officers and Child Protective Services workers from responding to legitimate emergencies and protecting vulnerable children and families,\" the Michigan State Police added.Buttigieg lamented the motivation behind the false report, adding it's \"not lost on me that this happened soon after we shared photos of our family on social media for Father's Day,\" and during pride month. \"I am a reasonable man,\" Buttigieg wrote. \"I try to keep as calm and low-key as possible. But I cannot describe the mix of rage and sadness that I feel at the idea that someone brought our children into this. They are four years old. Four. They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is. They don't know how politics works. They don't know about hate.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/pete-buttigieg-says-his-family-targeted-false-report-michigan-cps/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kathryn Watson","publishDate":"2026-06-27T03:19:15.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F1d62dd09-cab0-4578-b43a-340bf6d7e156%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F340a573a31faae6c09143b4350e7fd48%2Fap26100617239622.jpg","slug":"buttigieg-targeted-by-fake-report-to-child-protective-services-details-sleepless-night-after-separat"},{"id":"jshb55","title":"Colorado mom allegedly bought alcohol daily for 16-year-old daughter found dead with 173 empty bottles","excerpt":"A Colorado mother has been charged in connection with the death of her 16-year-old daughter, who prosecutors say drank herself to death and had 173 empty alcohol bottles hidden in her bedroom.","content":"A Colorado mother has been charged in connection with the death of her 16-year-old daughter, who prosecutors say drank herself to death and had 173 empty alcohol bottles hidden in her bedroom.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/colorado-mom-allegedly-bought-alcohol-daily-16-year-old-daughter-found-dead-173-empty-bottles","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Stephanie.Weaver@fox.com (Stephanie Weaver)","publishDate":"2026-06-26T17:38:46.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.livenowfox.com%2Fwww.livenowfox.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fgretchen-leanne-ryan-scaled.jpg","slug":"colorado-mom-allegedly-bought-alcohol-daily-for-16-year-old-daughter-found-dead-with-173-empty-bottl"},{"id":"f0ihg9","title":"King of Jordan stops in Arlington before World Cup match with Argentina","excerpt":"Arlington received a distinguished visitor Saturday as the King of Jordan stopped by during the city's World Cup festivities.\n \n Arlington Mayor Jim Ross\n\n His Majesty King Abdullah II was on hand ahead of Jordan's match against powerhouse Argent...","content":"Arlington received a distinguished visitor Saturday as the King of Jordan stopped by during the city's World Cup festivities.\n \n Arlington Mayor Jim Ross\n\n His Majesty King Abdullah II was on hand ahead of Jordan's match against powerhouse Argentina at Dallas Stadium, commonly known as AT&T Stadium, in Arlington.Arlington Mayor Jim Ross shared photos of the Jordanian leader and a message on social media.\"It was an honor to welcome a world leader to our city as fans from around the globe gather here for tonight's match between Jordan and Argentina,\" Ross said. \"Moments like these remind us that Arlington truly is on the world stage, bringing people together through sport, friendship, and shared experiences.\"Best of luck to both teams tonight, and welcome to Arlington!\"As Jordan makes its World Cup debut in Arlington, the city is hosting a free three‑day cultural festival at the Levitt Pavilion.

The latest figures were announced by Jorge Rodríguez, the president of the country's National Assembly. Rescue teams were racing to find more survivors amid more than 200 aftershocks, including a 4.7-magnitude quake off the coast that was felt in Caracas Friday evening. Neighbors helped each other dig through rubble to search for loved ones in cities and towns across northern Venezuela in the wake of the powerful back-to-back quakes. Venezuela's health minister told state media late Thursday that thousands of people had been reported missing.The 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes that struck Wednesday evening were among the strongest in Venezuela in more than a century and were felt throughout the region.People inspect a damaged home following earthquakes in Catia La Mar, La Guaira state, Venezuela, June 25, 2026.\n \n Federico PARRA/AFP/Getty\n\n The injured were pulled out covered in dust and blood, among them children and animals. Venezuelan state TV showed dramatic images of rescues, including a woman who was trapped under a cement slab with only a bare foot poking out before rescuers slid her out alive. But few government search teams were initially seen outside Caracas. The coastal region of La Guaira, north of the capital Caracas, suffered some of the heaviest damage and casualties. The country's main airport is there and was closed due to damage, complicating aid efforts. Many were stunned Thursday morning as they saw buildings reduced to skeletons, furniture hanging out of windows and helicopters circling overhead. Buildings were flattened and streets cracked open. Families posted missing-person flyers with photos of loved ones while others shared handwritten lists of names as they searched. Venezuelans abroad struggled to make contact with relatives due to interrupted phone service in the country. In downtown Caracas, hundreds spent the night huddled in parks, parking lots and other open spaces.Residents sit beside belongings as they take shelter on a street following an earthquake in Catia La Mar, La Guaira state, June 25, 2026.\n \n Federico PARRA/AFP/Getty\n\n Mother of three Dayana Delgado asked where the heavy machinery was that government officials had promised and said residents were the ones digging through crumpled buildings. \"I want to know where my child is, if he's trapped or in a shelter,\" she said of her missing 8-year-old son. One mother sobbed and collapsed in grief as the bodies of her 3- and 10-year-old children were wrapped in blankets and carried away. Others screamed the names of the missing. Some stood in silent shock. Venezuelan authorities said they were diverting rescue teams from other parts of the country to La Guaira, which is no stranger to natural disasters: A 1999 mudslide killed thousands and is considered one of the country's worst natural disasters. In La Guaira, Cristian Carreño stared at his charred apartment building tilting precariously to one side. \"I lost everything,\" he said. \"There are people still inside, I imagine, that couldn't get out. It's incredibly devastating.\"People ride a motorcycle past a heavily damaged apartment building with its facade torn open following an earthquake in Catia La Mar, La Guaira state, Venezuela, June 25, 2026.\n \n Juan BARRETO/AFP/Getty\n\n Retired schoolteacher Juan Alberto Mendaño climbed through wreckage in La Guaira and past a dead body when he spotted a woman who was trapped and signaling with her hand for help. \"May God rescue her as quickly as possible,\" Mendaño said. \"When we heard the scream, there was nothing we could do.\" Media reports have shared notable moments of hope among the destruction, including a young man brought out on a stretcher in the San Bernardino district of Caracas to the applause of onlookers as his tearful mother said, \"Leandro, I love you.\" Venezuelan public television broadcast video of a girl covered in dust and wrapping herself in a dark sweatshirt as she emerged from rubble with the help of rescuers. Caracas metropolitan rescue team head José Luis Núñez said she was found in a 10-story building in La Guaira that collapsed and flattened \"like a pancake.\" \"We want to highlight this girl's strength, determination and will to live,\" Núñez said.\"We're still trying to pull through\"CBS News' Cristian Benavides spoke Thursday with Gabriella Suarez, a 24-year-old online gamer who was streaming live from her home in Caracas when the quakes struck on Wednesday evening. Her camera captured her shock as the whole room started shaking.\"It started getting harder and harder,\" she recalled. \"I could feel like, I could feel the ground moving.\" She said her communities — both online and in person — were rallying to try to support rescue efforts on the ground in Venezuela, where millions of people were already facing economic instability and lacked consistent access to resources like power and clean water before the earthquakes. \"We've been through every single thing I can imagine, and we're still trying to pull through,\" she said. \"Obviously, what we feel is that we need help, and this is definitely a call for help.\"The natural disaster is the latest challenge for Acting President Delcy Rodríguez, the former vice president who took office in January after the capture and removal from power of then-President Nicolás Maduro by the United States. Venezuela has been facing economic disarray for more than a decade and many people reject the legitimacy of the political movement Rodríguez represents.Rodríguez declared a state of emergency in an address to the nation late Wednesday. She said the government was creating a $200 million reconstruction fund for damaged hospitals and homes. She appealed to businesses Thursday to make heavy construction equipment available for rescue operations. \"We hope to rescue as many living people as possible,\" Rodríguez said.People search for missing relatives at the collapsed building where they lived two days after an earthquake struck La Guaira, Venezuela, Friday, June 26, 2026. \n \n AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos\n\n While Venezuela sits near multiple fault lines, its position straddling the South American and Caribbean plates makes strong earthquakes much less common than in other parts of Latin America. The U.S. Geological Survey said both earthquakes were centered near Moron on the Caribbean coast, about 105 miles west of Caracas. The one-two punch of the quakes, combined with the shallow seismic movements, amplified the destruction, said Marcos Ferreira, a geophysicist and researcher at the Geological Survey of Brazil. \"It is as if I am screaming and then someone starts screaming, too. That amplifies the vibration and adds to the potential hazard,\" Ferreira said.

The site had been blocked by Maduro since August 2024 in an attempt to suppress the exchange of information among those who rejected his claim of victory in the July presidential election.U.S. and other countries sending helpU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who spoke to Rodríguez following the quake, said the United States was immediately deploying assistance. \"We have a whole-of-government response. It'll be big; it'll be fast; and it'll be effective,\" Rubio said, while acknowledging the closure of Venezuela's main airport near Caracas created logistical challenges. He said the U.S. aid efforts would be led by the Pentagon, as the Defense Department has the ability to access cut off areas.Rodríguez posted on X Friday that she'd received a call from President Trump and Rubio. She wrote in Spanish: \"They reaffirmed their commitment to supporting the response efforts by sending rescue workers, specialized equipment, support for temporary shelters, and humanitarian assistance for the affected families. We deeply appreciate this gesture of friendship and cooperation.\"Venezuelan public television showed the arrival of rescue workers and aid from Chile at a military base in Aragua state early Friday, while a team of 80 specialists and eight search dogs from Switzerland also arrived with aid supplies. Turkey announced two flights will leave Istanbul on Friday with military, medical and rescue personnel and a pair of search dogs. Leaders from Qatar, Brazil, Spain, Portugal and Canada also vowed to send assistance. Rescue teams from El Salvador and the Dominican Republic arrived in Venezuela on Thursday, along with rescuers and material aid from Mexico. \"No country is prepared to provide the response that's needed. That's what neighboring countries are there for,\" Dominican Air Force Major Carlos Olivares said. The Venezuelan diaspora also was helping. In Ecuador, Félix Rodríguez said his store was receiving donations from his fellow Venezuelans as well as Ecuadorians. \"My business is always ready for whatever Venezuela needs,\" he said. Gabby Graham said she regularly sends money from Spokane, Washington, to Venezuela using a peer-to-peer payment to a local business that gives cash to her family. But since the earthquakes they can't locate the business owner and she is unable to share funds for food, water, medication and toiletries. \"I think it hasn't been easy for them for years. Just now it's just even worse because it's about finding these things,\" Graham said.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/venezuela-earthquakes-la-guaira-death-toll-race-to-find-missing-survivors/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-27T00:19:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F35804b94-4997-4e3b-a406-31a9143e44f3%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7d61c9e431c78f8ef37e64ae319136fc%2Fap26177547133636.jpg","slug":"venezuela-earthquake-death-toll-soars-past-900-as-rescuers-race-to-find-survivors"},{"id":"w1ficg","title":"Dallas City Council approves $18.5M in tax incentives in attempt to bring Morgan Stanley to Uptown area","excerpt":"Dallas city leaders officially approved a major tax incentive in a bid to bring investment bank Morgan Stanley's next major operations hub to the Uptown area.On Wednesday, Dallas City Council members voted unanimously to approve the $18.5 million tax incentive offering.

In a statement following the vote, Mayor Eric Johnson said such a hub would be a boon for the city.\"Now, Morgan Stanley is considering Dallas for a new, large-scale U.S. operational hub that would bring with it over $780 million in capital investment and create up to 4,800 new, high-paying jobs,\" Johnson said. \"Y'all Street is more than a slogan. My Administration is intent on growing Dallas's financial services sector in order to power a thriving economy that benefits all Dallas residents.\"CBS News Texas political reporter Jack Fink notes the investment bank is also considering the Atlanta, Georgia area as a location for the hub. As of publication, Morgan Stanley has not shared a statement indicating its intention.\n \n NEW: Dallas council unanimously approves offering @MorganStanley $18.5 million in incentives to build operation hub in the city. Morgan Stanley also considering Atlanta area. @Johnson4Dallas: “We have worked hard to make Dallas America’s most pro-business city.” @CBSNewsTexas pic.twitter.com/of9nZpIOsv— Jack Fink (@cbs11jack) June 24, 2026\n\n\n \n\nIf Morgan Stanley chooses Dallas for the hub, the company would build a new office located at 2401 McKinney Avenue, just north of the Woodall Rodgers Freeway. However, the investment bank would start operations at a temporary regional office, located south of the freeway at 1445 Ross Avenue.Morgan Stanley, headquartered in New York City, currently operates offices worldwide, with offices in 42 countries and employing more than 80,000 people.The bid to bring the Morgan Stanley hub to Dallas comes as other major names are opting to either set up new operations elsewhere in the metroplex or migrate out of the downtown Dallas area. Plano, located about 21 miles northeast of Dallas, has attracted telecom giant AT&T and Korean tech chaebol Samsung. AT&T is currently headquartered in downtown Dallas, but will set up its new headquarters in Plano; meanwhile, Samsung will move its corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, and it already has offices along Central Expressway and Legacy Drive. As of now, it's not known if Samsung will build corporate offices there or if it will build elsewhere in the city.Both the Dallas Stars and the Dallas Mavericks are also eyeing a move north. While Mayor Johnson said relocation plans for neither team are final, both teams have taken steps to make it happen. The Stars have announced that they submitted a signed, non-binding letter of intent for a proposed mixed-use sports and entertainment district at The Shops at Willow Bend, and the Mavericks have announced that the team is pursuing the former Valley View Mall site in North Dallas for its own arena and entertainment hub. Both teams are aiming to leave the American Airlines Center in the Victory Park neighborhood.Plano city leaders unanimously voted to pass a plan to bring the Stars to the city earlier this month. It wasn't a final approval of the arena itself, but the vote moves negotiations and planning into the next phase.If both teams leave the arena by the end of their leases, which are currently set to expire in 2031, sports valuation expert Mike Rapkoch said the American Airlines Center could face an uncertain future.\"I think it's going to be hard if you have two active owners trying for those events,\" he told CBS News Texas earlier this month. \"I just don't see how another event is going to come or how they're going to be able to compete.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-city-council-business-morgan-stanley-downtown-6-24-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Matthew Ablon","publishDate":"2026-06-24T18:27:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F24%2F2d6f1ae9-3ce9-420d-af16-c4f326d45386%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F95f2b4fb65e30082048dcae7c824d1fc%2Fgettyimages-2279004507.jpg","slug":"dallas-city-council-approves-185m-in-tax-incentives-in-attempt-to-bring-morgan-stanley-to-uptown-are"},{"id":"zbnzbp","title":"Sevy's Grill to close after nearly 30 years in Dallas' Park Cities","excerpt":"Saturday will mark the end of an era in Dallas' Park Cities.After nearly 30 years, Sevy's Grill will close its doors, leaving behind far more than a neighborhood restaurant.

Maurice Pierce's widow Kimberli made clear that their priority has never been financial compensation. \"It's blood money for us. He died for this money,\" Kimberli Pierce said. \"It's about the reform and the changes that need to happen, not only in Austin, but apparently across the country.\"They also went into great detail about what they believe happened when Maurice Pierce was shot and killed by police in 2010. Maurice Pierce was one of four men, along with Michael Scott, Robert Springsteen and Forrest Welborn, who were wrongfully accused in the murders of four teenage girls in Austin on Dec. 6, 1991. Eliza Thomas, Amy Ayers, and sisters Jennifer and Sarah Harbison were tied up, shot and left inside the yogurt shop as it was set ablaze. The four men were exonerated in February after investigators linked another man, Robert Eugene Brashers, to the killings. The city of Austin subsequently offered a $35 million settlement. Because Maurice Pierce died in 2010, his share of $10 million will go to Kimberli and Marisa Pierce.Eight days after the killings, 16-year-old Maurice Pierce was arrested at a mall, carrying a .22, the same caliber handgun connected to the crime. Kimberli Pierce said police told Maurice Pierce that his gun was the murder weapon. He responded by mentioning his friend Forrest Welborn. Maurice Pierce was then wired up and sent to speak with Welborn, but investigators ultimately determined that Welborn and the others knew nothing about the murders, and no charges were filed at that time.Marisa Pierce has said there was no evidence when her father was questioned, \"only a detective and a narrative, a narrative so completely false. It feels evil.\"From left, Maurice Pierce, Forrest Welborn, Michael Scott and Robert Springsteen were exonerated in February 2026 after investigators linked another man, Robert Eugene Brashers, to the December 1991 killings of four teenage girls in an Austin, Texas, yogurt shop. \n \n CBS News/AP\n\n Nearly eight years later, in 1999, all four men were arrested after Scott and Springsteen confessed to the murders. They later recanted, saying they had been coerced. Springsteen and Scott were tried and convicted, but later those convictions were overturned on constitutional grounds. A subsequent DNA test excluded all four men. Maurice Pierce was never convicted but spent three years in jail before his release in 2003. Kimberli Pierce said her husband came home a hardened man. She believes police continued to harass Maurice and their family after his release. In 2010, Maurice Pierce was stopped for a routine traffic stop, fled on foot, and was shot and killed by an Austin police officer who said Pierce had stabbed him with a knife. Marisa and Kimberli Pierce told \"48 Hours\" that they intend to review the circumstances surrounding the night of Maurice Pierce's death. Marisa Pierce revealed in new, emotional detail that she was on the phone with her father at the time. She believes he panicked and was only trying to get away, not to hurt anyone. She described her father's last breaths: \"And in those last moments, he had just said I'm sorry, I don't think you're gonna see me again, and I love you.\" \"48 Hours\" reached out to the Austin Police Department about the Pierces' allegations of harassment and their questions about Maurice Pierce's death in 2010. The police department said they had no additional comment.For the Pierce family, the settlement is a starting point, not an end point. They have put forward seven proposed reforms they hope the city of Austin will approve, including appointing a child advocate whenever a minor is questioned, prohibiting deceptive interrogation tactics, educating juveniles about their rights and establishing accountability measures to address tunnel vision in police investigations.In a statement shared with \"48 Hours,\" the Pierces wrote: \"Real justice is not only about acknowledging harm after the fact but about creating safeguards that prevent future families from enduring the same pain.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-yogurt-shop-murders-settlement-maurice-pierce-family/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Erin Moriarty","publishDate":"2026-06-27T01:27:24.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2Fc1c04577-c0fb-4748-a181-80874a43e7e8%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1c1cefcb899248bf4a01b88607ccab3f%2Fmarisa-kim-pierce-presser.jpg","slug":"its-blood-money-family-of-exonerated-man-in-texas-yogurt-shop-murders-speaks-out-after-settlement"},{"id":"pbd8xh","title":"Runaway Texas giraffe Gracie spotted from helicopter after nearly two weeks on the loose, sheriff says","excerpt":"After nearly two weeks of wandering the Texas Hill Country, Gracie the giraffe has been found.

The 3-year-old giraffe was spotted from a helicopter Friday morning, about four miles south of the ranch where she lives.Vick Jones, the manager of Cedar Hollow Ranch, \"has contacted his veterinarian and is putting a team together to safely capture Gracie and bring her home,\" the Real County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The elevator let him out in the building's basement. When he went outside, he saw that the structure was shaking. The building stayed standing, he said, and he spent the next several hours waiting as neighbors and family came downstairs.At first, he didn't realize how big it was. But when he went online, he learned that two earthquakes, one with a magnitude of 7.2 and the other 7.5, had struck west of Caracas. The quakes are the strongest to hit Venezuela in over a century, and were so powerful that the shaking could be felt in parts of Colombia and Brazil. They also sparked tsunami alerts. Rescuers search for victims in a collapsed building following an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026.\n \n Manaure Quintero /AFP via Getty Images\n\n La Guaira, a state on the country's northern coast, was the hardest hit, Venezuela's Acting President Delcy Rodríguez said. Rodríguez has declared a state of emergency. Officials said hundreds of people were killed and thousands injured.La Guaira resident Antonio Bermudez told the AFP news agency that the shaking began \"all of a sudden.\" He was in his living room, he said, but escaped his building before it collapsed. \"I started to move, I looked for shelter under a column. I was between my room and the shower. It shook harder and harder,\" Bermudez sid. \"I held onto the wall and the building started to come down.\" Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. is deploying search teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid to Venezuela. He told reporters Thursday morning he had spoken to Rodríguez and offered the full assistance of the United States. He said that the U.S. has already deployed search and rescue teams from Fairfax County, Virginia, and Los Angeles. Qatar and El Salvador have also offered assistance, Rubio said. He said that while \"earthquakes are not part of the stabilization process\" between the U.S. and Venezuela, the Trump administration is \"just going to focus on the human aspect of this.\" \"There are human beings that have been harmed, that have been hurt, some have been killed, some have been severely injured, and some are still trapped in rubble. We're going to focus on that,\" Rubio said. \"How that fits into the broader stabilization process, I don't think we're analyzing it though that lens. Obviously it's a setback in that regard, but we're going to get through it, and I think Venezuela is going to emerge stronger from it, despite the tragedy that it's confronting right now.\" \"We expect it to get worse\"The two quakes took place within a minute, Northwestern University professor emeritus Emile Okal told CBS News. That meant that many people did not have enough time to evacuate the buildings they were in between the first and second rounds of shaking, Okal explained. CBS News meteorologist Rob Marciano said the quakes were shallow, only about six miles deep, creating \"more violent shaking at the surface.\" In the neighborhood of Catia La Mar, which holds nearly 200 housing towers, \"everything, everything collapsed,\" resident Yilsmaris Blanco told AFP. People search a collapsed building following an earthquake in Catia La Mar, in Veneuzela's La Guaira state, on June 25, 2026.\n \n Federico Parra /AFP via Getty Images\n\n \"We thank God because ... we're alive, but there are people right now suffering with their relatives buried, with their relatives crushed and they can't get them out,\" Blanco, 39, said. Larry Rojas, 49, said his family was trapped in a collapsed building. \"We have nothing, right now we have nothing, not even the strength or the courage to go in there,\" Rojas told AFP. \"Just imagine.\" Photos show buildings with large cracks and fallen walls. Other structures were completely reduced to rubble. Much of the area has no electricity. People do not have access to water, Rojas said, leaving them \"dying of thirst.\" \"Really, we need someone to help us, to send machinery. That's what we need to get into the buildings that have collapsed,\" Rojas told AFP. He said that area residents are afraid to enter any buildings, even the ones left standing, because \"we're afraid it will collapse too.\"A man carries a mattress past damaged buildings following an earthquake in Catia La Mar on June 25, 2026.\n \n Federico Parra /AFP via Getty Images\n\n Jose Pacheco, the operations chief of the United Rescue Group of Venezuela, told AFP that he had never seen anything like the aftermath of these earthquakes in his 30 years of experience. He said La Guaira needs \"help, above all technical help,\" calling on specialized teams from Caracas to travel to the region. Frangie told \"CBS Mornings\" that he has seen \"hundreds of posts and stories and lots of messages of people\" looking for help and searching for loved ones. He was supposed to be graduating from his MBA program on Friday, but that is \"definitely suspended,\" he said. Instead, he is waiting to see how he help survivors.He also said he fears the death toll will rise. \"We've seen videos of buildings collapsing and never-ending amount of people looking for families,\" Frangie said. \"So, yeah, we expect it to get worse.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/venezuela-earthquake-caracas-la-guaira-catia-la-mar-witnesses/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kerry Breen","publishDate":"2026-06-26T18:04:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2F428f7fd4-2ad0-4616-95dd-e74325642591%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F0a3c4d8051034bc007712671de8acfce%2Fgettyimages-2282720886.jpg","slug":"venezuela-earthquake-survivors-describe-devastation-everything-collapsed"},{"id":"75s23d","title":"Texas board mandates Bible passages in public schools","excerpt":"Texas education leaders voted today to mandate Bible stories and verses as required reading for more than 5.5 million public school students.

Sullivan also ordered the Justice Department to either release the interview notes behind several FBI documents summarizing unverified allegations against President Trump, or explain why it couldn't release them.The government was also ordered to release a log listing every redaction it has made to the files it has published on Epstein, as required by law.The court order follows months of controversy over the Justice Department's handling of the files, which were released in response to a federal law. Millions of records have been made public since December, including photos, emails and law enforcement documents from the federal investigations into the disgraced financier and his 2019 death in pretrial custody.Lawmakers and Epstein survivors have raised questions about missing or heavily redacted records. The Justice Department has said only about half of the 6 million pages of documents it collected on Epstein would be released, and many of the released files are partially blacked out. The department has said the unreleased documents were either duplicates, unrelated to Epstein or protected by legal privilege. One of the emails covered by Thursday's order — in which Epstein refers to a \"torture video\" — drew scrutiny earlier this year after Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California and GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky questioned why the recipient was blacked out. Blanche later suggested on social media the recipient was Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, former CEO of the Dubai-based logistics firm DP World. CBS News has previously reached out to Sulayem for comment.The Justice Department redacted the name of the recipient of this email released in the Epstein files.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n The department has defended its efforts, arguing the redactions are necessary to protect personal information or victims' identities.Thursday's court ruling was spurred by a lawsuit filed in April by independent journalist and legal commentator Katie Phang over the redactions, which she argues are a \"brazen, shocking, and ongoing violation\" of the federal law mandating the release of the Epstein files. She asked a judge to order the release of several unredacted files.The Justice Department responded earlier this month by arguing Phang cannot sue to force the documents' release because the proper recourse is for her to file a Freedom Of Information Act request. Phang's lawyers on Wednesday pointed to denials of Epstein-related FOIA requests. The judge then directed the Justice Department to respond by 1 p.m. on Thursday, and after the department missed that deadline, he ordered it to release the documents Phang had requested.In a 48-page opinion, Sullivan concluded that Phang had the right to sue over unreleased files and was likely to prevail on the merits of the case, and wrote that Blanche \"conceded Ms. Phang's merits arguments\" by not responding substantively. He also said FOIA \"does not provide an adequate remedy.\" The Justice Department requested earlier this month that Sullivan pause any order in Phang's favor for at least seven days to give the government time to decide whether to appeal. Sullivan denied that request on Thursday.Phang's attorney, Brendan Ballou, told CBS News: \"The government thought that it could ignore its own law and blow off a judge's order, all for the sake of protecting the very powerful and the very rich. It didn't work, and now the public will finally get transparency around Jeffrey Epstein and his network.\" A Justice Department spokesperson told CBS News the agency plans to appeal.\"The Acting Attorney General has not conceded anything. Judge Sullivan's perverse interpretation appears to be focused on driving misleading headlines,\" the spokesperson said. \"This judge is suggesting DOJ violate the law by un-redacting victim names, who as the Department has always explained, sadly became co-conspirators. DOJ has produced all responsive documents and will appeal this decision with confidence.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/judge-orders-doj-unredact-more-epstein-files-or-explain-why-blanche/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Joe Walsh","publishDate":"2026-06-26T19:26:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F03%2F18%2F252c3337-9865-4c0d-9bed-db99229fc0ad%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fb7625cae5c568f8740a3f3ef02ec02ba%2Fepstein-promo.jpg","slug":"judge-orders-doj-to-either-unredact-more-epstein-files-or-explain-why-they-must-stay-blacked-out"},{"id":"jql933","title":"California Gov.

Gavin Newsom is calling for a national minimum tax on billionaires and a federal fund that would give every American a stake in the wealth created by artificial intelligence, laying out a populist economic agenda in an essay published Friday on Substack. At the same time, Newsom, who is mulling a 2028 White House bid, announced he will vote against a billionaire wealth tax on the ballot in California this November.His pitch for the federal tax on the nation's wealthiest is what he calls a \"true minimum tax on billionaires — a modern Buffett rule — that ensures the people at the very top pay at least the tax rate their own workers pay.\"\"Today, the office worker can shoulder a higher tax rate than the heiress,\" Newsom said. \"The construction worker could pay a higher rate than the developer. And the delivery driver can end up paying a higher rate than the founder of the company whose packages he delivers.\"He blamed a system that grew out of \"decades of loopholes written by lobbyists and upheld by politicians who knew exactly who they worked for.\" \"But this system can be undone,\" Newsom wrote.One day earlier, the union-backed state billionaire tax measure qualified for the California ballot. Newsom says he opposes it in part because the fight over taxing the ultrawealthy should not be one undertaken by a state, but rather, by the federal government. Because billionaires can simply relocate to avoid any single state's taxes, he argues that the battle belongs at the federal level \"where this broken system was created in the first place.\"A number of California-based billionaires may already be taking steps to relocate to havens like Florida in order to avoid the possible tax — Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and Sergey Brin are among the tech titans who have been buying homes in the Sunshine State, the Los Angeles Times reported.Newsom also objects to the California billionaire tax because the revenues would mainly be used to fund state spending on Medicaid, and not on other needs. \"It ignores our public schools,\" Newsom wrote, and said the California proposal would also overlook women's health clinics, housing and child care. He maintains that it's the Legislature that should be making decisions about California's budget, not a single stakeholder, \"no matter how worthy the cause.\"Newsom's federal billionaire tax proposalNewsom suggests ending what he calls the \"tax-free lifestyle loan\" — the practice adopted by many billionaires of borrowing against stock holdings, reporting no taxable income, then passing the appreciated assets to heirs untaxed. He calls for rewriting inheritance rules ahead of a generational wealth transfer over the next two decades, citing a figure of $124 trillion, which he warns could lock in \"a permanent American aristocracy of inherited wealth.\" Newsom would also like to see a return to corporate tax rates that were in place before the 2017 Trump tax cuts and the closing of offshore loopholes that let multinationals shift profits on paper, he said. He called \"trickle-down economics\" a 50-year-long \"failed\" experiment that funneled record profits into buybacks and executive pay while workers' wages stagnated.Newsom proposes a national public equity fund that would take a major stake in the AI economy. Revenues would help fund transitions for workers displaced by AI. His plan would help fund severance, portable benefits and enhanced unemployment insurance. The broader program would underwrite universal child care, tuition-free higher education and career training, health care and an industrial policy for what he calls the \"AI century.\"Newsom, who is term-limited and set to leave office in January 2027, is widely viewed as an early frontrunner for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, and his proposals place him squarely in his party's debate over AI and economic insecurity — two of the biggest issues in this year's midterm election cycle. A YouGov/Economist survey this month found 71% of Americans — including 77% of Democrats and 68% of Republicans — said AI is developing too fast.

The U.S. dominated Paraguay 4-1 in its opener. The only other times the U.S. Men's National Soccer Team has won two matches in a single World Cup tournament were in 1930 and 2002. The Americans will begin the Round of 32 in Santa Clara, California, on July 1. If they win, they'll go to Seattle for the Round of 16. Win that, and it'll be off to Inglewood for the quarterfinals.

Pochettino fielded nine new starters for this low-stakes game, but Christian Pulisic entered in the 58th minute. He hadn't played since the first half of the Americans' opener due to a calf injury.United States' Sebastian Berhalter (14) and Turkey's Salih Ozcan battle for the ball during the World Cup Group D soccer match in Inglewood, Calif., June 25, 2026. \n \n Andre Penner / AP photo\n\n CBSSports.com's Pardeep Cattry wrote that the match \"offered a stark reminder that the USMNT are one team with their best players and an entirely different team without them, their bench perhaps not as deep as it had seemed in the wins over Paraguay and Australia.\" Arda Güler and Orkun Kökçü scored in the first half of a resilient performance by Turkey, which had already been eliminated after losing its first two matches despite largely dominating both statistically. Turkey improbably won in the eighth minute of stoppage time when Can Uzun got the ball in space on the back post and pushed it past sprawling goalkeeper Matt Turner to Ayhan, who slid to knock it home. The game's meaninglessness didn't matter to the raucous sellout crowd that packed SoFi Stadium — dubbed Los Angeles Stadium by FIFA for the World Cup.The American team's fan base has been energized by its strong start to this home World Cup — and this Los Angeles-area crowd was still chanting and standing when Berhalter airmailed a long corner to Trusty, who made the stadium shake when he banged it home inside the back post. Trusty's goal was the Americans' seventh of the tournament, tying their scoring record for any World Cup before knockout play even begins. It was also the 173rd goal of this tournament, breaking the record for the most combined goals scored in a World Cup set in Qatar four years ago — and doing it in four fewer matches. Turkey evened it in the 10th minute with an excellent two-man game from Baris Alper Yilmaz and Güler, the 21-year-old Real Madrid rising star. Güler then set up another goal in the 31st minute with a pass that eventually led to Kökçü's close-range shot. Turkey scored on both of its shots on net in the first half. Berhalter tied it in the 49th minute by running on to a loose ball about 20 yards from the net for a vicious strike. Pulisic replaced Tim Weah in the 58th minute for his first game action since the first half of their 4-1 victory over Paraguay nearly two weeks ago. Pulisic said this week that he is ready to play again after coming out at halftime with a calf injury in the Americans' home World Cup opener. The AC Milan midfielder entered the 2-2 game to an enormous roar, and he created a scoring opportunity just a couple of minutes later with a dynamic run down the left side. Pulisic nearly scored again in the 63rd minute, but his quick shot off a nice pass from Berhalter was knocked off the goalpost by Turkey goalkeeper Ugurcan Cakir, and Brenden Aaronson botched the resulting sitter.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/us-mens-soccer-2026-world-cup-loss-turkey/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T13:39:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F3f5e67ca-96c1-4544-81f6-373a7f6e37a7%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F0d1be20ee49ed6d1e3d3636120af846f%2Fap26177096416236.jpg","slug":"us-men-suffer-first-2026-world-cup-loss-3-2-to-turkey-before-heading-to-knockout-round"},{"id":"2egcx5","title":"Federal judge dismisses lawsuit against Gateway Church, Robert Morris - Dallas News","excerpt":"Federal judge dismiss...","content":"Federal judge dismisses lawsuit against Gateway Church, Robert Morris Dallas News","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilgFBVV95cUxPT21RaVN4UjBQb283ck5XUGxqQ2R6WkFuYk1nNi14SHlnSE0tRlluU2gzdGF1ZVJNcno3VUVNTGpCanF4YXpQX3U0WExrNllBajZhMHpBaWRxMjJ4cWJ2NmdZeko3ZnVScTFUUzZrRVZXdGlhRU5ERTVwYVVhQWYwWjNNeXRqTXROM3NZTDE4TG5UelJHaHc?oc=5","source":"Google News - Southlake / Carroll ISD","author":"Google News - Southlake / Carroll ISD","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:51:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1449844908441-8829872d2607%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"federal-judge-dismisses-lawsuit-against-gateway-church-robert-morris-dallas-news"},{"id":"oez32m","title":"'Significant advancement': Southlake first in York Region to offer this robotic-assisted surgery - Innisfil News","excerpt":"'Significant advancement': Southlake first in York Region to offer this robotic-assisted surgery Innisfil News","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMi2gFBVV95cUxPdkozVGVvblUwREFySmV6SGI0ejkzYWpCQmJHUjBoTjcyUUpVbHdTTzBqcnhzUVJGV3dKTXBMVHM0UldZcm00b0d5ek5PUGlOY1h4djNqcTd4N3RuUDZHNWdNeDFwSHplbnJzOTdqcXdxdFE1Mi1XT05mQXd0Q21Ua3kzWUM0T1Z0Tk9JVWx0N3pGNXU0VnREbWRtT3lCT1U4RldjT3cyd3ppWmdNek9OMzBsWjN5NmZpT1ZGa0JMX2F3cEtRTmp1S1A2OHp6T3BtMGVhUHdiR1Mzdw?oc=5","source":"Google News - Southlake / Carroll ISD","author":"Google News - Southlake / Carroll ISD","publishDate":"2026-06-21T17:50:33.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1500382017468-9049fed747ef%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"significant-advancement-southlake-first-in-york-region-to-offer-this-robotic-assisted-surgery-innisf"},{"id":"ftt42a","title":"4301 Saddleback Ln, Southlake, TX 76092 - Realtor.com","excerpt":"4301 Saddleback Ln, Sout...","content":"4301 Saddleback Ln, Southlake, TX 76092 Realtor.com","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMilAFBVV95cUxNbU5vdkM5RDJLVUNHSDBwTm9kTHZkZUctWThnWVlCZHp3OTM3VWxnYnRUS2lVdVQ5Y0pNNzJUMWY0YmxtU2pnaVc3RHJjQTVRNlRZaHpBX09EUXNjcm9TREhTdjc4cnRCeTlfa0hkc3czQ0JsSFMydHM1LVMwYkJZaU9XbzBjRGlfVWNuSUxSMWRKYmNX?oc=5","source":"Google News - Southlake, TX","author":"Google News - Southlake, TX","publishDate":"2026-06-20T11:30:26.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":2,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.unsplash.com%2Fphoto-1512917774080-9991f1c4c750%3Fw%3D800%26h%3D500%26fit%3Dcrop","slug":"4301-saddleback-ln-southlake-tx-76092-realtorcom"},{"id":"f0xmt6","title":"The UPS Store offers discount on shipping products after TSA issues travel reminder about ranch","excerpt":"TSA recently posted a reminder telling travelers they must pack ranch dressing in checked luggage, not carry‑ons.

Meanwhile, a painting of a nude woman by a grandson of Sigmund Freud fetched nearly $39 million. Forty-eight works by artists including Picasso, Magritte and Klimt, amassed by Joe Lewis, the ex-owner of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, were auctioned on Wednesday and Thursday. Lewis, 89, transferred his majority stake in the London football club to a family trust in 2022 and is now worth £5.8 billion, according to The Sunday Times Rich List. The Modigliani painting \"Nu assis au collier\" (Seated Nude Wearing a Necklace) sold for $63.9 million, the highest price achieved for a work by the artist sold at auction in Europe, Sotheby's said.A piece by Amedeo Modigliani, Nu assis au collier, is shown on display at Sotheby's in central London, ahead of their Masterpieces from the Lewis Collection sale, on June 10, 2026.\n \n Yui Mok/PA Images via Getty Images\n\n Gustav Klimt's full-length society portrait \"Bildnis Gertrud Loew\" achieved the second highest price of the evening.

The 23 works that go under the hammer Thursday include Picasso's \"Buste de femme\" (Bust of a woman) from 1938, depicting French artist Dora Maar, valued at £12-18 million. The current auction sale record for a single private collection in Europe was set in 2009 by the art collection of the late fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Berge. It had an estimate of 200-300 million euros, but the works eventually sold at Christie's for 373.9 million euros (then about £333 million). In March, four other paintings from the Lewis Collection by British artists from the School of London group, including Freud and Bacon, sold for £35.8 million in a packed Sotheby's saleroom. In a return to blockbuster art sales, auctions in New York this spring set record prices for works by Jackson Pollock, Constantin Brancusi and Mark Rothko.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/nude-portrait-modigliani-auction-record-nude-painting-freud-38-8-million/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T11:27:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F5faac603-5c21-4f9e-925b-8c2e5ae7a98a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F01e77a95ac1009508d4c3d0da1e6194d%2Fgettyimages-2280226839.jpg","slug":"nude-portrait-by-modigliani-sets-record-at-auction-nude-painting-by-freud-sells-for-388-million"},{"id":"cz1d15","title":"Texas board approves adding Bible stories to required reading for public school students","excerpt":"Texas public schools will require students to read Bible stories under a reading list approved by the state's education board Friday, widening conservative efforts to bring more Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms.The Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans, approv...","content":"Texas public schools will require students to read Bible stories under a reading list approved by the state's education board Friday, widening conservative efforts to bring more Christian teachings into U.S. classrooms.The Texas State Board of Education, which is controlled by Republicans, approved the list of over critics who argued the titles lacked diversity and and blurs the separation of church and state.Under the mandate, more than 5 million public school students in Texas must read traditional literary works such as E.B. White's \"Charlotte's Web\" and Charles Dickens' \"Great Expectations.\" They'll also be required to read Bible stories, including passages from the New Testament and excerpts from the Book of Job. The rollout will be staggered, starting with elementary school students in 2030.For months, critics have blasted both the push to require Bible readings and the state mandating what books are read by students, which are decisions typically left up to teachers. Teachers could still assign students other books to read on top of the required titles.Supporters say Judeo-Christian traditions were fundamental to the nation's founding and that should be reflected in the public school curriculum.Texas, which educates roughly 1 in 10 of the nation's public school students, has been at the forefront of a charge by conservatives to incorporate more religion into classrooms. The state already allows public schools to hire chaplains to counsel students, mandates the display of the Ten Commandments in classrooms and has approved an optional Bible-infused curriculum.A focus on ChristianityCritics say the reading list lacks diversity, blurs the separation of church and state that is enshrined in the Constitution and leaves teachers and students with little room to decide what to read.\"Kids of all faith backgrounds and no faith are served by Texas schools and they should all feel welcome in Texas schools,\" said Elva Mendoza, legislative communications associate for the progressive Texas Freedom Network. \"But this is sending the message to children that one and only one religious text — a Christian one — is worthy of making this required reading list.\"Others have applauded the possibility of mandated Christian religious reading in public schools. Brooke Mazel, a retiree from Lubbock, encouraged the board to adopt biblical materials, saying her children and grandchildren grew up with \"strong faith and family values.\"\"America should celebrate our 250 years that started as a nation of unwavering Christian values,\" Mazel said.The board is also set to vote Friday on a social studies curriculum that links Bible stories with American history.Texas may be a trailblazerA state law passed in 2023 required a mandatory list of at least one literary work be taught in each grade level. The proposed new list contains around 200 texts, including Bible passages, essays and books, far in excess of that requirement.Antero Garcia, president of the National Council of Teachers of English and a Stanford University professor, said he doesn't know of any other state with a mandatory reading list that includes religious texts. Educators at the district and school level usually choose the texts their students will read, Garcia said.Kasey Meehan, director of PEN America's Freedom to Read program, agrees the move is \"unique\" to Texas.Picture-book stories for elementary students, including \"David and Goliath\" and \"Daniel and the Lion's Den,\" are on the required reading list. By fourth grade, students would encounter passages about Jesus in the New Testament.By middle school, students would be expected to read several passages about Jesus, including passages from his most famous sermon, and another where he instructs people to cast aside earthly anxiety and seek the kingdom of God.For high schoolers, the list requires the reading of specific Bible passages as supportive materials for literary works, including works by Dickens and Jane Austen's \"Pride and Prejudice.\"Holding diversity in checkSuch strict requirements amount to \"almost de facto censorship,\" Meehan said, comparing the list to book bans.\"It certainly leans ideologically more conservative,\" she said. \"It excludes a lot of diverse voices from the reading list.\"The list mandates that students reading Shakespeare's \"The Tragedy of Julius Caesar\" also read a eulogy for President Ronald Reagan written by former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, a staunch conservative.Frank Strong, an English and journalism teacher and co-founder of the student advocacy group Texas Freedom to Read, said diversity is not only important for students needing to see themselves in what they read but also as a way to learn about different cultures.Many of the books on the reading list are not controversial, but Mendoza asks why books like \"Chicka Chicka Boom Boom\" need to be required for kindergartners.\"Can't our kindergarten teachers be trusted to choose board books?\" Mendoza asks.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-school-board-bible-readings-vote/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T19:29:49.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2025%2F03%2F19%2F222793b2-3d3b-4b30-afb0-945159b3c5c2%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fd42698152e6d48d7d8f11a47eaeeaa1f%2Fgettyimages-174661492.jpg","slug":"texas-board-approves-adding-bible-stories-to-required-reading-for-public-school-students"},{"id":"1bene4","title":"Big Tech is spending trillions on AI.

But fresh data is raising questions about whether enough consumers and businesses are willing to pay up for these services, even as the tech giants leading the AI charge borrow heavily to build the required infrastructure.\"There's concern around how much hyperscalers are turning to debt markets in order to finance the infrastructure buildout,\" Kate Brennan, associate director of independent research institute AI Now, told CBS News, referring to the tech companies driving the torrent in AI capital spending — Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle. She added, \"The returns are not coming in, and the claims that are being made, in terms of efficiency or productivity numbers, are not netting out.\"Brennan also pointed to rising skepticism among some consumers and workers about the utility of AI. To be sure, Americans are increasingly using AI, but for now few appear willing to pay for it. That reluctance is coupled with what polls show are major public concerns with AI: 40% of adults think the technology will be a negative societal force over the next two decades, versus 16% who believe it will be positive, according to Pew Research.Meanwhile, more companies are laying off workers and investing in AI instead, heightening concerns about the technology's impact on jobs. For employers, the payoff is uncertain. A May study from tech research firm Gartner found that businesses that replace workers with AI agents often fail to generate a return on investment.One takeaway is that many consumers are using AI less out of a desire to chat with a bot than because there's simply no escaping the technology, Brennan said. Enter a search query on Google, and you'll get an AI response at the top of the page. Call a company's helpline, and chances are that you'll get an AI agent with a soothing voice accompanied by fake typing in the background.\"The current push for AI adoption that we're seeing is directly coming from the financial incentives of AI firms,\" she added. Because of the massive capital expenditures, the hyperscalers and other AI firms are making a \"deliberate push for AI everywhere — no matter whether the demand is there or if customers want it or not.\"Bubble or bust?Wall Street has long worried about an AI bubble as companies like Alphabet and chipmaker Nvidia have repeatedly propelled the U.S. stock market to new records. To some investors, the current moment is analogous to the dotcom bubble of the late 1990s. While many of those early Internet high-flyers flamed out, the ones that survived — think Amazon and Google — eventually became profitable businesses or even household names.As with that earlier boom-and-bust cycle, the AI landscape is likely to yield uneven outcomes, according to Qian Wang, global head of capital market research at Vanguard, and senior global economist Kevin Khang.\"Some firms may emerge as more profitable and with significant competitive advantages, while others could find their core businesses obsolete in a new AI economy,\" they said this week in a report. \"As we continue to learn what the economics of AI look like in practice — the trajectory of AI capital expenditure, how effectively hyperscalers can monetize AI investment, and the size and shape of AI's addressable market — the market's sensitivity to the ups and downs is likely to be significant.\"They added, \"Investors should expect a bumpy ride.\"Jonas Goltermann, chief markets economist with Capital Economics, thinks the rally in AI-related equities is winding down, while noting that tech-heavy financial markets in the U.S. and Asia are likely to outperform over the rest of the year. But the investment advisory firm expects those stocks to drop, perhaps sharply, in 2027.The payback testA key question underlying the lofty valuations of the hyperscalers and other AI companies is whether their capital spending plans reflect realistic revenue forecasts, according to economist Ed Yardeni of Yardeni Research. Companies including Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft are spending heavily on data centers and chips in expectation of strong demand for AI services, while large language model developers like OpenAI and Anthropic pay to use their data centers. Yet it remains to be seen whether consumers and businesses will ultimately generate enough revenue to justify those investments.\"The AI ecosystem falls apart if the expected end-user demand for the AI/LLM products does not materialize or if prices for their offerings fall sharply below expectations,\" Yardeni said in a note to investors. Yardeni's team examined annualized revenue estimates for OpenAI and Anthropic to assess whether they're adding users fast enough to cover their spending commitments with the hyperscalers — what he calls a \"capex payback test\" to check whether these companies can support the industry's capital expenditures.Their conclusion: Not right now, but the picture will improve in several years if current growth forecasts hold.\"We find that the AI ecosystem is not fully end-user revenue-backed yet, but it is not entirely speculative either,\" Yardeni said. \"Expected 2030 revenues make the math look much better. But those forecasts depend on a big assumption: AI revenues must continue to scale, and compute efficiency must improve, or both.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/ai-bubble-tech-selloff-investment-consumer-business-demand/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Aimee Picchi","publishDate":"2026-06-26T14:07:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F01%2F77766f19-62e7-4969-ad50-e56c25bbd366%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fbfe358d0c027d37fbe9d5aac844cbc2c%2Fgettyimages-2236544077.jpg","slug":"big-tech-is-spending-trillions-on-ai-investors-now-want-proof-it-will-pay-off"},{"id":"qpogju","title":"Curtains go up at AT&T Stadium for the FIFA World Cup, a glare-blocking move rejected by Jerry Jones","excerpt":"The home of the Dallas Cowboys had a new look for Thursday's World Cup match between Japan and Sweden.

And the addition of curtains to block the sun on the stadium's west end wasn't one NFL fans had seen before.Even though glare from sunlight streaming into the massive sliding glass panels of the west end of the $1.2 billion stadium has led to missed plays at football games, Cowboys billionaire owner Jerry Jones has vehemently rejected suggestions to put up curtains. But FIFA was taking no chances at the soccer tournament.Curtains cover the windows on the west side of AT&T Stadium during the World Cup Group F soccer match between Japan and Sweden on Thursday, June 25, 2026.\n \n AP/Jessica Tobias\n\n Fans could still look out to see the views from the glass panels on the east end Thursday but the west end was covered with black curtains for the match. The stadium has an unusual east-west alignment from end zone to end zone, as opposed to most U.S. football venues being north-south.The glare from the west end of AT&T Stadium — renamed Dallas Stadium for the World Cup — has impacted plays during football games over the years, including at last November's Thanksgiving Day win over Kansas City. After Cowboys receiver George Pickens didn't see a pass thrown his way, he shaded his eyes when looking back to the stadium's sun-drenched west end.After the game, Pickens, who was in his first season with the Cowboys, said, \"the sun was beating in my eyes, so I couldn't see.\"\"He already knew it. Welcome to Dallas, bro,\" said fellow receiver CeeDee Lamb, who had his own issues with a pass he never saw during the 2024 season.Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb runs past a pass thrown into the end zone of AT&T Stadium on Nov. 10, 2024. \n \n AP/Jeffrey McWhorter\n\n Curtains have been used for some concerts and at other events at the stadium, but Jones has rejected putting them up for Cowboys games. Jones has not yet attended any World Cup matches.In 2024, Jones said: \"We do know where the damn sun is going to be in our own stadium.\" He then quipped: \"Let's just tear the damn stadium down and build another one. Are you kidding me?\"Dallas has nine World Cup matches — more than any other venue — but this is the only match where the timing has made the potential for glare a factor.Jesse Nunez, who lives in Austin and was visiting the stadium for the first time, said he noticed the curtains were up when he arrived for Thursday's match, and he thought it was a good idea.\"I think they should do it for the football games, I've seen plays where you can see the players actively can't see,\" Nunez said.The match began at 6 p.m. local time. So with sunset at 8:40 p.m., depending on cloud cover, there would have been a chance for the sun streaming in during the game.A few hours before the start, the stadium was still under gray skies. But by about an hour before, the sun had started peeking through.The match ended in a 1-1 draw and both teams advanced to the round of 32.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/att-stadium-curtains-world-cup-jerry-jones/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T12:19:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F62c7ca08-8815-4a5d-8cab-77c4e8457e82%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F899cb8d2071850d2647b6b09892a2401%2Fap26177006969581.jpg","slug":"curtains-go-up-at-att-stadium-for-the-fifa-world-cup-a-glare-blocking-move-rejected-by-jerry-jones"},{"id":"f5nzaf","title":"Suspect charged with murder after stabbing victim dies from injuries, Fort Worth police say","excerpt":"A suspect has been charged with murder after a man he allegedly stabbed died from his injuries, the Fort Worth Police Department confirmed Friday.

He said Wednesday that Gracie had wandered into a part of the privately owned preserve that other giraffes previously avoided.Jones said he has sent up helicopters to look for Gracie, a few sightings have trickled in, and a $5,000 reward is on the table.But the giraffe, which stands roughly the height of a tree, hasn't turned up.\"She wound up going up and feeding in an area on the hillside and the rocky ledges that none of the other giraffes had ever gone on before,\" Jones said. \"And when she came down off of there, she came down on the wrong side of the gate.\"The ranch is in rural Real County, where its roughly 2,700 residents were put on alert to be on the lookout for a missing giraffe. Jones said the search area is extremely remote, and the likelihood of Gracie encountering any humans is low.\"People are not in danger of her because she's not around people,\" Jones said. 'She's out in very, very rough, heavily wooded lands.\"The Texas Hill Country has one of the largest concentrations of exotic captive animals in the country. Real County Sheriff Nathan Johnson said the mild climate and rugged terrain seems to serve as a good stand-in for most of the animals' native African environments.He rattled off a list of animals that have gone missing over the years, especially after floods, but said this was his first giraffe.\"I've had wildebeests, I've had water buffalo, I've had monkeys, I've had zebras, all go missing,\" Johnson said. \"Sometimes we recover them, and sometimes we don't.\"While the middle of Texas is not a giraffe's native environment, Jones said Gracie should be able to find plenty of leaves and other vegetation to eat. He said other animals were not likely to bother her.Jones said he initially had helicopters searching an area of about 7,500 acres with no luck. A few days later, there was a report that Gracie was spotted to the south.But by the time they could search the area, Jones said, she was already gone.\"We're always two three days late for where the information is coming from, so that makes it tough,\" Jones said.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/missing-giraffe-gracie-texas-hill-country-cedar-hollow-ranch-real-county/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T14:10:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2F33f64784-ed22-497c-9073-8ff3a511330a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F01102cc8a6f63569b9574df979c32944%2Flandscape-2026-06-25t104158-495.png","slug":"a-giraffe-named-gracie-escaped-her-enclosure-at-a-ranch-in-the-texas-hill-country-no-one-can-seem-to"},{"id":"s211t","title":"McKinney man who \"snapped,\" killed friend with a pipe and took smoke break during the attack gets life in prison","excerpt":"A 53-year-old McKinney man will spend the rest of his life in prison for the brutal murder of his friend, the Collin County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday.

Pablo Berrios pleaded guilty to the murder ahead of his sentencing. Berrios admits he \"snapped\" According to the Collin County Sheriff's Office, on Sept. 27, 2025, deputies responded to a disturbance call at a home near Drift Drive in New Hope. When they arrived, deputies found the victim with multiple blunt force injuries to his head, and he was later pronounced dead. Deputies said Berrios was found outside the home with blood on his hands and clothes. The victim's wife was also located, and she told deputies that she witnessed the attack and identified Berrios as the suspect. The sheriff's office said Berrios waived his rights after being arrested and gave a detailed interview about the attack. He told the detective that after a minor argument with his friend, he \"just snapped,\" grabbed a pipe and repeatedly struck the victim in the head and face. Berrios also said at one point he paused the attack to go outside and smoke a cigarette before returning to strike the victim again. In the interview, Berrios said, \"If you are going to do it, do it right.\" Sentencing after guilty plea The DA's Office said Berrios pleaded guilty to the murder and his trial moved into the sentencing phase, where a Collin County jury heard evidence, Berrios' own confession and witness testimony. The jury sentenced him to life in prison. \"I thank our outstanding prosecution team, sheriff deputies, and the jury for delivering justice for this family and ensuring Berrios can never harm another person in our community,\" said Collin County DA Greg Willis.

They'll have home field advantage and enjoy a growing fan base across the country.\"You're playing for 330 million people. That's a big deal. There's added responsibility, added eyes. But at the same time, it's the ultimate goal, the ultimate honor,\" U.S. team captain Tim Ream told CBS News. \"I have no doubt that we could potentially win,\" he said.The U.S. is in Group D and will play at least three games in the group stage in June.

Some locations could reach their first 100° day of the year this weekend or early next week, with afternoon heat index values approaching 105° at times. Breezy south winds continue. Gusts of 30 to 35 mph Friday through Monday will provide some mixing during the afternoon, but they'll also keep overnight temperatures warm and muggy with very little relief.Rain chances fade away. After several active days, upper-level high pressure is taking over. Aside from an isolated shower or two on Friday morning, North Texas looks mainly dry through at least the middle of next week.Thursday night will be partly cloudy, warm and breezy. Most of North Texas remains dry with only a very isolated shower or thunderstorm possible near the Red River. Temperatures fall through the 80s this evening with south winds continuing around 15-25 mph.South winds continue overnight, preventing much cooling, especially in the metroplex and urban areas.Breezy and even hotter weekend in North TexasFriday will be mostly sunny, hotter and breezy.

Breezy south winds continue.Saharan dust arrives early next week Forecast models indicate a plume of Saharan dust will move into North Texas late Sunday into Monday. The biggest impacts will likely be hazy skies, more colorful sunrises and sunsets, and a slight reduction in air quality for sensitive groups, including those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. The dust may also help suppress additional rain chances as the hot, dry air settles over the region.Little change in the overall pattern. Mostly sunny, hot and windy with highs around 100°.

When Japan's first World Cup match in North Texas was announced, she immediately bought tickets through StubHub for herself and her father, a lifelong soccer fan.\"It started with my dad, so he's… my dad is a huge soccer fan,\" Taguchi said. \"He's loved the sport forever. He was born and raised in Yokohama.\"Taguchi said she purchased the tickets in December and received both a receipt and a confirmation. But on game day, the tickets still hadn't been delivered. Instead, she opened the app to a message she never expected.\"This red message that just said, 'Seller unable to provide tickets,'\" she said.She hoped it was a glitch.\"And my heart just stopped for a second, and… immediately, my next thought was, no way, this… this has to be a glitch,\" she said.A last‑minute scramble shared in real time With no replacement tickets available through StubHub, Taguchi turned to TikTok, documenting the ordeal as kickoff approached.In one video, she told viewers: \"We are on the chat with StubHub right now.\"Another update captured the moment reality set in: \"We are so devastated and hurt, we've been planning this for like months. We took off work, travel, and everything for this.\"A final post confirmed the outcome: \"Update we did not get to the game.\"Taguchi said she was stunned to learn how many others were experiencing the same issue.\"What shocked me the most was how many people had the same experience,\" she said. \"Even worse than us.\"StubHub respondsStubHub declined an on-camera interview, but in a statement to CBS News Texas, the company said: \"The vast majority of StubHub World Cup orders have been fulfilled.\" It attributed ticket failures to \"performance problems with the event organizer's own ticketing infrastructure, which has created transfer failures across all resale platforms.\"When asked whether buyers were warned about potential issues, Taguchi said she received no such notice.\"We never heard anything about the StubHub situation with the World Cup tickets,\" she said.A second chance – at twice the priceUnder its FanProtect Guarantee, StubHub issued Taguchi a full refund. But that didn't get her and her father into the match they had planned for months. Determined not to miss Japan's next appearance, they purchased new tickets — this time at double the cost.They made it into Japan's second match at Dallas Stadium, and Taguchi said simply walking through the gates felt like the real win.\"I truly believe that there needs to be more done in honesty through ticket sellers, resellers, anybody who's selling tickets, and a lot more disclosure about what the risks are right up front,\" she said.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/stubhub-world-cup-ticket-issues-oklahoma-family-japan-match/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Amelia Mugavero","publishDate":"2026-06-26T03:28:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2Fac531990-6b70-4457-91a6-bfc4d79ff750%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8dd1335d1492ab481de6fdb5895a1db3%2Famelia.png","slug":"oklahoma-family-says-stubhub-ticket-failure-kept-them-out-of-japans-world-cup-match"},{"id":"38jwzm","title":"Oklahoma family’s World Cup dream derailed after StubHub ticket failure","excerpt":"An Oklahoma woman’s long‑planned World Cup trip with her father nearly fell apart when the tickets she bought months earlier through StubHub never arrived.

I was always interested in seeing things from above and getting a different perspective.\"Brooks is now 42-years-old. He uses drones in his roofing business, photography and the flying gadgets bring in income, too. He is The Dallas Drone Guy.\"And so when these came out, and I learned that I can have full control up, down, left, and I can really capture the action just the way the helicopters do in the movies,\" he said. \"I can do it right here in the palm of my hand. I fell in love with it.\"Brooks said he made sure he became an FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot. It allows him to fly drones for both hobby and commercial purposes.\"So even if you wanted to break the rules, I really don't recommend it,\" he said.Dallas FBI works to keep drones away from World Cup, fan venuesThat recommendation, in general, is coming from the FAA, too. In the meantime, the Dallas FBI is busy trying to keep drones out of the sky around FIFA venues like Dallas Stadium and the FIFA Fan Festival. According to Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock, they have seized 54 drones, primarily outside three soccer matches and in the fan area at Fair Park, since June 11.\n \n CBS News Texas\n\n \"The commonality here seems to be that they don't understand that these temporary flight restrictions exist, and they don't understand their obligation to check for those temporary flight restrictions before operating their drone,\" Rothrock said.Prior to, during, and until a designated time after the matches, the FAA issues a temporary flight restriction. From the Dallas Stadium, an unauthorized aircraft cannot come within three nautical miles or fly 3,000 feet ground-to-air. In the area of the FIFA Fan Festival, it's 400 feet.\"And so we will treat every drone as a threat until we know that it's not,\" he said. \"We don't know when we initially detect a drone, whether it's an enthusiast or whether it represents a threat.\"Rothrock said his agents, state and local law enforcement, meet each drone with a significant response until they can make an assessment. So far, one person has been arrested: Honduran national Luis Mauricio Flores Ordonez.The 33-year-old, according to federal documents, flew his drone around Dallas Stadium on June 14, right before Japan took on the Netherlands.Rothrock said there is no specific type of offender, such as a foreign visitor unaware of American laws. He said their investigations continue, and so does their counter-drone program, which the government has trained law enforcement for the World Cup and beyond.He said drone confiscations are ongoing. Rothrock said the fines are stiff, too.Brooks recalled $100,000 for criminal offenders who flew drones into forbidden airspace. He said trying to get away is nearly impossible because the drone leaves so much information in the air.\"This information includes your altitude, your telemetry data, how much battery you have left, and yes, the phone number and email that was used to register the drone,\" Brooks said.The FBI is also asking fans to report offenders.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-fbi-trying-to-drive-drone-offenses-down-during-fifa-world-cup-events/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Marvin Hurst","publishDate":"2026-06-26T03:22:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2Fdf5032e7-c348-48f8-bdbc-a5e12fa9ff78%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6b5b6ae5aed7b07ad106ce5bf4d777ec%2Fsnapshot-2026-06-25t221051-315.jpg","slug":"dallas-fbi-trying-to-drive-drone-offenses-down-during-fifa-world-cup-events"},{"id":"nr7xml","title":"World Cup match shines in Arlington: Curtains Down, Spotlight On","excerpt":"Japan and Sweden’s World Cup match lit up AT&T Stadium on Thursday, with FIFA ordering the west‑side curtains closed — eliminating the glare that has long frustrated Cowboys fans.

Elanga has scored only three goals in 49 games for Newcastle, but zero in 32 Premier League matches.Six minutes earlier, Maeda settled a nifty pass from Ritsu Doan with his left foot in the penalty area and easily beat Jacob Widell Zetterstrom with his right foot.It was Japan's seventh goal of the tournament, the country's most for an entire World Cup. That topped the six the Japanese scored while reaching the round of 16 in Russia eight years ago.Japan is advancing out of the group stage for the third consecutive World Cup and fifth time in seven tries since first reaching the round of 16 as co-hosts in 2002. The Japanese team finished second in Group F behind the Netherlands and will play Brazil in Houston on Monday.\"For the good of football in Japan, I think it would be a very good experience,\" coach Hajime Moriyasu said through a translator of his 16th-ranked team facing No. 5 Brazil. \"We do believe there's a chance for us to win. And then we hope that we will be able to move one step further move on to the next stage.\"The Swedes have advanced to the knockout round the past four times they've qualified for the World Cup going back to 1994 — when they reached the semifinals the last time the U.S. hosted soccer's biggest event.Sweden will have to wait to find out its opponent in the round of 32 next week.\"We have to probably recover the players first and make sure that physically we're in a good place for whoever we play,\" coach Graham Potter said. \"We've got to be on our toes in terms of logistics. I would say if you had said to me when we first came that would be the challenge we'd face, I would have absolutely taken it.\"Elanga had another chance to score in injury time, with his right-footed attempt forcing goalkeeper Zion Suzuki to make a diving deflection.On the ensuing corner kick, Suzuki deflected Alexander Isak's header off the crossbar and into the air, eventually ending the scoring chance with a leaping grab in a crowd of players.The Blue Samurai's bag-waving, chanting fans among 70,137 at the sold-out home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys were persistent as a scoreless game dragged into the second half. Japan seemed content to sit back and play for a draw that would have guaranteed the same spot in the knockout round as a win.Just like that, things changed when Doan put Maeda in perfect position to score.Elanga wasn't anywhere near scoring range, but Suzuki appeared screened and reacted late as the shot beat him to the far post.Just three minutes later, Isak was inside the penalty area with a great scoring chance, but Suzuki deflected it wide and over the end line, angrily gesturing toward some of his teammates as Sweden lined up for another corner kick. The Swedes had eight corner kicks to only two for Japan.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/japan-and-sweden-play-to-1-1-draw-as-both-advance-to-knockout-round-at-the-world-cup/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T02:38:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F0b7e8bca-1225-4e3e-9688-34db0c61e9d0%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F61866e81377586788d829e16dd4978c2%2Fgettyimages-2283340414.jpg","slug":"japan-and-sweden-play-to-1-1-draw-as-both-advance-to-knockout-round-at-the-world-cup"},{"id":"quywe9","title":"Langford hits 3-run homer as Rangers beat Blue Jays 6-5","excerpt":"Wyatt Langford hit a three–run home run, Jake Burger and Joc Pederson also went deep, and the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Thursday night.Pederson went 2 for 3 with two walks and scored twice as Texas bounced back after losing the previous two.Toronto's Kazuma Okamoto cut...","content":"Wyatt Langford hit a three–run home run, Jake Burger and Joc Pederson also went deep, and the Texas Rangers beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 on Thursday night.Pederson went 2 for 3 with two walks and scored twice as Texas bounced back after losing the previous two.Toronto's Kazuma Okamoto cut the deficit to one with a two-run homer off Jacob Latz in the ninth, his 18th.Latz recovered by retiring Alejandro Kirk on a grounder and striking out pinch-hitter Brandon Valenzuela for his 15th save in 17 chances.Rangers shortstop Corey Seager went 0 for 3 and walked twice after being activated off the concussion list. The two-time World Series MVP missed 12 games.Texas left-hander MacKenzie Gore (5-6) allowed three runs and four hits in seven innings, snapping a four-start winless streak.Pederson led off with his 12th homer, capping an 11-pitch at-bat with a 402-foot drive into the second deck. He fouled off seven pitches before homering.Langford and Burger both connected in a five-run third. Langford, who also went deep in Wednesday's loss at Miami, hit his eighth homer. Seven have come in 19 games since he returned from the injured list on June 5.Burger's two-run shot was his 14th.All three homers came off Kevin Gausman (4-6), who allowed six runs and 10 hits in six innings, his sixth straight winless outing.Gausman was hit hard by the Cubs in his previous start on June 19 when he gave up seven runs on seven hits in two innings.Toronto scored three in the fifth. Davis Schneider hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly and Myles Straw followed with a two-run double.

It’s klobasniki,” said Shelly Miller, owner of Village Bakery in West.\n\n\n\nThe distinction is more than semantics for a town that has spent generations preserving its Czech heritage.\n\n\n\nWhile many Texans use the word kolache to describe a pastry stuffed with sausage, cheese or other savory fillings, Miller said a traditional Czech kolache is sweet and typically filled with fruit or jam.\n\n\n\nThe savory version, known as a klobasnik, has roots in Texas.\n\n\n\n“Mr. Montgomery actually took the sausage and put it into the dough for the first time,” Miller said.\n\n\n\nAccording to Village Bakery, the klobasnik was created in the West during the 1950s, blending Czech baking traditions with Texas tastes.\n\n\n\nThe town, located along Interstate 35, has long celebrated its Czech culture through events such as Westfest and its well-known bakeries.\n\n\n\nNow, with the Czechia national football team training in North Texas during the World Cup, bakery owners hope players, fans and visitors make the trip to the West to learn more about that heritage.\n\n\n\n“It’s just showing another tradition and showing a heritage and what everything’s about as far as the Czech Republic is based, the Czech team coming in,” said Brittney Ready of Village Bakery.\n\n\n\nInside the bakery, head baker Dusty Uptmore continues a family tradition using a closely guarded dough recipe.\n\n\n\n“My grandma just always said, you know, be nice to your dough and your dough will be nice to you,” Uptmore said.\n\n\n\nThe process involves rolling dough, adding sausage, meat and cheese fillings, sealing the pastry and baking it until golden brown.\n\n\n\n“Flip, and then squish your seam together,” Uptmore explained while demonstrating the technique. “The difference is in the dough,” she said.\n\n\n\nFor visitors unfamiliar with Czech Texas traditions, the bakery hopes the World Cup provides an opportunity to introduce a wider audience to both the food and the culture behind it.\n\n\n\n“We want to take it to the next level,” Miller said.\n\n\n\nWhether customers call it a kolache or a klobasnik, Village Bakery expects plenty of curiosity from travelers looking for a taste of Texas and Czech heritage in one bite.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/kolache-real-name-texas-bakery-czechia/4040815/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Alicia Barrera","publishDate":"2026-06-24T16:42:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fkolache.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"do-you-call-it-a-kolache-west-bakery-says-this-beloved-pastry-has-a-different-name"},{"id":"5embct","title":"Dallas officer recounts rescuing six people from flash flood waters","excerpt":"As flash flood waters overwhelmed vehicles on a North Texas roadway last Friday, one police officer did not hesitate to act.\n\n\n\nBaylor University Medical Center Police Officer Brittney Taylor says she helped rescue six people after rising water stranded multiple drivers near the hospital campus.\n...","content":"As flash flood waters overwhelmed vehicles on a North Texas roadway last Friday, one police officer did not hesitate to act.\n\n\n\nBaylor University Medical Center Police Officer Brittney Taylor says she helped rescue six people after rising water stranded multiple drivers near the hospital campus.\n\n\n\nThe flooding occurred as heavy rain overwhelmed storm drains, creating dangerous conditions on streets near Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. Witnesses watched as vehicle after vehicle became trapped in the rising water.\n\n\n\nTaylor said she immediately began preparing to enter the floodwaters.\n\n\n\n“I took my belt off, I took my vest off, I went to the first car. I helped the lady out,” Taylor said.\n\n\n\nAs she moved through the area, Taylor realized several more people needed help.\n\n\n\nTaylor, a former prison guard, said she ultimately helped six people reach safety, including a man in a wheelchair and an elderly couple.\n\n\n\n“He was like, ‘ My legs don’t work, my shoulder hurts,’” Taylor recalled.\n\n\n\nAfter helping the man, she turned her attention to his wife.\n\n\n\n“Once he got out, I helped the wife. And she was just the cutest little lady; she was so small. So I was like, ma’am, I gotta put you on my back.”\n\n\n\nTaylor credits both her training and the lessons she shares with her son for helping her stay calm in dangerous situations.\n\n\n\n“I tell my son, whenever you’re in a dangerous situation, don’t panic, like slow your breathing, calm down,” she said.\n\n\n\nHer 11-year-old son remains one of her biggest supporters.\n\n\n\n“He always asked me, ‘How was your day? How’s your day? You know, how’s everything? Did you eat?’” Taylor said.\n\n\n\nAfter seeing the rescue video, Taylor said her son wanted to share it with everyone he knew.\n\n\n\n“I showed him the video, and he played it like 10 times. He was like, ‘Oh, can I send it to granny?’ So that’s my mom in Ohio. And he was like I sent it to Granny. He was like, ‘Can I send it to this person?’ Like he wanted to send it to everybody, he sent it to his friends.”\n\n\n\nAsked about her son’s reaction, Taylor smiled.\n\n\n\n“He was so happy. He was.”\n\n\n\nFor Taylor, the rescue was simply about helping people in need during a dangerous situation.\n\n\n\nAt Baylor University Medical Center, the officer’s actions are now being celebrated as an example of service during one of the area’s most challenging weather events.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-officer-six-people-flash-flood-water-rescue/4040792/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Maria Guerrero","publishDate":"2026-06-24T16:09:37.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fimage-16-1.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","slug":"dallas-officer-recounts-rescuing-six-people-from-flash-flood-waters"},{"id":"jfalh2","title":"Murder suspect's husband the latest arrest in a 24-year-old Frisco cold case","excerpt":"A third person has been arrested in connection with a cold case murder that police say they cracked last April with the arrest of the victim’s former wife.

Now, the woman’s current husband is also accused in connection with the man’s death 24 years ago.\n\n\n\nFrisco Police, working with the Waxahachie Police Department, arrested 50-year-old Jason Honrud on a murder warrant on Wednesday morning. Jason Honrud is married to Lisa Honrud, who was arrested in April in connection with the 2002 murder of her former husband, Frank Weiss. Lisa is being held on a $850,000 bail.\n\n\n\nInvestigators said Weiss’s body was discovered near Lake Lewisville, wrapped in black bags, tied with rope and weighed down with 50-pound sandbags duct-taped to his legs. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner later determined he had also been shot twice in the chest with a .38 caliber gun.\n\n\n\nThe renewed cold case investigation began earlier this year, when a team of six detectives with the Frisco Police Department’s Crimes Against Persons Unit reopened the case and began re-interviewing witnesses.\n\n\n\nAccording to investigators, Weiss was killed less than a week after his then-wife moved out of their Plano home and signed an annulment that he filed alleging infidelity. Weiss was last seen having dinner with Honrud at Uncle Julio’s two days before his body was found.\n\n\n\nAt the time, Honrud told investigators Weiss had taken a last-minute trip to Cancun, a claim detectives said was deceptive. Detectives added that the condition of the body suggested an effort to conceal the crime. \n\n\n\nInvestigators did not say what role they believe Jason Honrud played in Weiss’s death or reveal any other information about the investigation.\n\n\n\nJason Honrud is the third arrest in the case.\n\n\n\nIn May, Keith Hart was arrested in connection with Weiss’s death just two weeks after Lisa Honrud’s arrest. Hart is being held on $150,000 bail.\n\n\n\nIt’s not immediately clear if any of the suspects in the case have obtained attorneys to speak on their behalf. \n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tFrank Weiss murder\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tPlano\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMay 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSecond arrest made in 2002 cold case murder of Plano father Frank Weiss\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCrime and Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 30\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWife arrested as documents reveal new details in 2002 cold case murder of husband","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/third-arrest-made-in-24-year-old-frisco-cold-case-murder/4040784/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Dominga Gutierrez and NBCDFW Staff","publishDate":"2026-06-24T15:58:34.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F04%2Ffrank-weiss.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1424%2C801","slug":"murder-suspects-husband-the-latest-arrest-in-a-24-year-old-frisco-cold-case"},{"id":"vk0sbg","title":"Train involved in crash with semi-truck in Denton","excerpt":"A train that was involved in a minor crash with a sem-truck in Denton on Wednesday afternoon is blocking access for drivers, according to the Denton Police Department.\n\n\n\nOfficers were called to the scene around 12:39 p.m. of the crash.\n\n\n\nThe crash is blocking access to Nottingham Drive. \n\n\n\nNor...","content":"A train that was involved in a minor crash with a sem-truck in Denton on Wednesday afternoon is blocking access for drivers, according to the Denton Police Department.\n\n\n\nOfficers were called to the scene around 12:39 p.m. of the crash.\n\n\n\nThe crash is blocking access to Nottingham Drive. \n\n\n\nNorth crossing streets that are also being blocked include: \n\n\n\n\nAudra Lane/Old North Road \n\n\n\nFishtrap Road \n\n\n\nCooper Creek Road\n\n\n\n\nPolice are warning drivers to expect delays and find alternate routes\n\n\n\nThe driver of the semi-truck only sustained minor injuries, police said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/train-involved-in-crash-with-semi-truck-in-denton/4040681/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Dominga Gutierrez","publishDate":"2026-06-24T13:14:53.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fdenton-truck-vs-train.png%3Ffit%3D1290%2C726%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"train-involved-in-crash-with-semi-truck-in-denton"},{"id":"rhrius","title":"Fort Worth ISD approves teacher raises, settlement for former superintendent","excerpt":"The state-appointed Fort Worth ISD board of managers approved the district’s budget for the upcoming school year during its Tuesday night meeting, including a 5% pay increase for classroom teachers and initiatives aimed at improving recruitment and retention at high-need schools.\n\n\n\nThe budget is...","content":"The state-appointed Fort Worth ISD board of managers approved the district’s budget for the upcoming school year during its Tuesday night meeting, including a 5% pay increase for classroom teachers and initiatives aimed at improving recruitment and retention at high-need schools.\n\n\n\nThe budget is designed to focus on student outcomes while directing more resources into classrooms and school campuses. District leaders said the plan also seeks to reduce the need for substitute teachers and give principals more time to coach and support educators.\n\n\n\nAs part of the budget strategy, the district plans to eliminate vacant positions, reduce central office spending and shift additional resources directly to schools.\n\n\n\nThe board also approved a contract settlement for former Superintendent Karen Molinar. Under the agreement, Molinar will receive one year of pay and additional benefits. Molinar was named permanent superintendent by the previous school board before both she and the board were replaced during the state’s takeover of the district earlier this year.\n\n\n\nIn another action, the board authorized Superintendent Dr. Peter B. Licata to make purchases exceeding $250,000 without board approval. District leaders said the move is intended to help prepare for the start of the new school year.\n\n\n\nTexas Education Agency Commissioner Mike Morath named Licata as Fort Worth ISD’s superintendent in March.\n\n\n\n“I’m proud of this budget because it supports student achievement and it’s at the core of every decision. What is best for students, not adults?” Licata said.\n\n\n\nDistrict leaders said the budget addresses several challenges facing the district.\n\n\n\n“When we arrived, we inherited declining enrollment, a structural deficit, a significant academic challenges. The first question this new leadership team asked was not what could we cut. The first question was, what do our students need to be successful?”\n\n\n\nStudents are scheduled to return to school Aug. 11.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

King admitted to the judge that he was using the device, and the judge instructed him to turn it off.\n\n\n\nThe morning’s testimony focused on former Johnson County Chief Deputy James Saulter, who previously reported King to the Texas Rangers and was later terminated from his position.\n\n\n\nProsecutors allege King engaged in verbal sexual harassment and made inappropriate comments to multiple female employees, leading to his indictment and arrest in August 2025. A grand jury also found that King retaliated against Saulter after he reported alleged official oppression to county officials and the Texas Rangers in June 2025.\n\n\n\nKing was briefly placed on administrative leave following the indictment, but later returned to work with restrictions.\n\n\n\nSaulter testified Wednesday as a continued witness for the state. He was fired in May after allegedly failing to attend a required internal affairs interview and facing accusations that included falsifying time sheets, disobeying a direct order, and failing to report part-time employment.\n\n\n\nDuring cross-examination, defense attorney Mark Daniels questioned Saulter extensively about his outside work at the Texas Motorplex in Ellis County. Saulter said the side job had been approved by King.\n\n\n\nDaniels suggested Saulter was “double-dipping” by working two jobs and taking extended leave without properly reporting it, arguing the conduct demonstrated misconduct and possible ulterior motives in reporting King. The defense also attempted to portray Saulter as having ambitions to become sheriff.\n\n\n\nSaulter previously ran for sheriff in 2016 but lost to King. He testified that the two had maintained a good working relationship until the events in 2025 underlying the current case.\n\n\n\nProsecutors repeatedly objected to the line of questioning, arguing it was irrelevant to the charges tied to the 2025 allegations. At one point, the judge cautioned Daniels about repeating questions regarding Saulter’s suspension and outside employment.\n\n\n\nThe defense also introduced a social media post by Saulter that included an AI-generated image depicting him in a leadership role within the sheriff’s office, with the word “Chief” on his vest. Daniels argued the post supported claims about Saulter’s ambitions.\n\n\n\nJurors were also shown internal documents outlining the department’s code of conduct. The defense contended Saulter violated those standards through his secondary employment and other alleged misconduct, arguing King had grounds to terminate him.\n\n\n\nAn email sent by King to Saulter in August 2025 was also presented in court, showing Saulter was suspended with pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation into misconduct allegations.\n\n\n\nSeparately, attorneys on both sides addressed developments tied to additional allegations referenced in court filings. Those filings accuse King of having had an affair more than two decades ago that resulted in a child, and of making threats to the woman over the years to keep the matter secret, according to court filings obtained by NBC 5.\n\n\n\nIn court on Wednesday, King’s attorneys said they had subpoenaed the birth certificate of the now-young man in an effort to determine paternity. Prosecutors said they have a DNA sample from the individual and asked the judge to order King to provide a sample for comparison. It was not immediately clear whether any testing had been conducted.\n\n\n\nThe 12-person jury, which includes five women, will continue listening to testimony through the week as the trial is expected to last well into next week.\n\n\n\nAs of late Wednesday morning, Saulter remained on the stand. King is expected to testify at some point during the trial, though it was unclear when that might occur.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/testimony-continues-in-trial-of-johnson-county-sheriff-accused-of-retaliation-oppression/4040661/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Alanna Quillen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T12:21:59.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F10%2FJOHNSON-CO-SHERIFF_2025-10-02-17-22-02.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"testimony-continues-in-trial-of-johnson-county-sheriff-accused-of-retaliation"},{"id":"pkhdm6","title":"These children were sold for sex.

Perschke’s creation has travelled the globe, and will spend ten days in Memphis, being stuffed into different locations around the city each day from the New Daisy Theatre to the Stax Museum; Mandatory credit: Brandon Dill-USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images\n\n\n\nThere will also be a Low Riders exhibit bringing the iconic Chicano car culture to the area along Jefferson Boulevard between Bishop Ave. to the west and Zang Blvd. to the east; it’s often visible on weekends as well.\n\n\n\nThe cars are known for their artistic custom paint jobs, hydraulics, and chrome. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRevelers Hall is a live music venue and bar known for jazz. Wednesdays are typically Dallas Jazz legend Shelley Carrol’s residency; tonight there’s a show at 10 p.m. after Carrol as well. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter you’re done experiencing the art and culture of the neighborhood, check out the food. \n\n\n\nThere’s Encina, Eno’s Pizza, Jaquval, Kilmac’s & Old Monk Oak Cliff, and Taco Y Vino, to name a few. Eno’s is turning its back lot into a beer garden featuring Dallas’s best local breweries. Taco Y Vino will have trompo street tacos for dinner and a DJ set from Ari Villa from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJaquval and Old Monk’s Davis Street location are the neighborhood pubs. \n\n\n\nDallasites may be more familiar with Old Monk’s Henderson Ave. location. Kilmac’s, owned by the same restaurateurs, is the new pizza and daiquiri bar with outdoor seating. Both places will have the World Cup Group Stage games on.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJune 24 features group-deciding games like Canada-Switzerland and Bosnia-Qatar at 2 p.m.; Brazil-Scotland and Morocco-Haiti at 5 p.m.; and South Africa-South Korea and Czechia-Mexico at 8 p.m. Mexico has already clinched its group; all four teams in Group B (Bosnia, Canada, Qatar, and Switzerland) could advance; Brazil, Morocco, and Scotland are fighting for seeding, while Haiti has been eliminated.\n\n\n\nMexico will definitely have support in Oak Cliff, a majority-Hispanic neighborhood. \n\n\n\nThere are also free public watch parties for the Mexico game, like Oak Cliff’s historic Texas Theatre, and the recently opened Halperin Park. No RSVP required; Texas Theatre’s doors will open at 7:30 p.m. CT. The broadcast will be in English. \n\n\n\nTexas Theatre is the infamous location where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. It opened in 1931 and is currently home to the Oak Cliff Film Festival and shows new and classic movies several nights a week. Texas Theatre also features a permanent video museum documenting Oak Cliff’s cultural history. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen the game is over, check out the neighborhood’s number one dance spot, Ladylove Lounge. It’s an intimate cocktail lounge focused on vinyl.

Owners had planned to reopen the Texas Hill Country camp this summer for its 100th anniversary, but reversed course in April amid outrage from victims’ families and lawmakers. Victims’ families filed lawsuits accusing the camp of failing to protect the girls as the powerful floodwaters approached.\n\n\n\nCamp Mystic’s owner, Richard Eastland, also died in the flood.\n\n\n\nDallas bankruptcy attorney Sid Scheinberg is not associated with the case but said it’s an understandable move.\n\n\n\n“It’s a reorganization plan,” Scheinberg said. “It’s a chance for them to put all their debt together and work at something to continue operating.”\n\n\n\nThe camp listed its debt at more than $10 million, according to the filing made in federal bankruptcy court in Houston. An attorney for Camp Mystic has not responded to an email and a phone message seeking comment.\n\n\n\nIn response to the bankruptcy filing, Carrie Hanna, who lost her daughter Hadley in the flood, said in a statement, “Right now we are focused on honoring and remembering Hadley and our girls as we approach the year-anniversary of their tragic deaths.”\n\n\n\nAccording to a statement from Brad Beckworth, Christina Yarnell, and Blair Townsend, attorneys for Cile Steward’s family, “Filing for bankruptcy is another delay and avoidance tactic that has only compounded the grief of the Heaven’s 27 families. The timing, just before the one-year anniversary, is a despicable gut punch to families already bracing to grieve their daughters under a canopy of Fourth of July fireworks. The Eastlands are clearly trying to avoid a jury trial. They also know they are facing severe sanctions from the trial court as a result of their targeted campaign designed to villainize the Steward family.”\n\n\n\nSteward, 8, was in Camp Mystic’s custody and care; her body has not been recovered.\n\n\n\n“Bankruptcy will not stop all responsible parties from being held accountable,” Paul Yetter, a lawyer who represents multiple families of campers and counselors who died at Camp Mystic, said in a statement. “These innocent girls deserve justice.”\n\n\n\nScheinberg said there is still a possibility of legal action during a bankruptcy.\n\n\n\n“Then the bankruptcy court can either elect to allow that state court lawsuit to continue or move it over to the bankruptcy Court to try the actual lawsuit or ultimately they try and work settlements with all the various people that have losses,” Scheinberg said.\n\n\n\nFor decades, Camp Mystic was a summer staple and an institution for generations of families, who dropped off their girls at the sleepaway camp to ride horses, canoe, fish and attend Bible studies. Other summer camps in Kerr County, west of Austin, did not take on such devastating flooding and, in some cases, have reopened.\n\n\n\nAll told, the destructive flooding killed at least 136 people along a several-mile stretch of the river, raising questions about how things went so terribly wrong.\n\n\n\nIn the aftermath of the tragedy, the Eastland family spent months determined to reopen the camp this summer, pointing to enhanced safety measures that included flood-warning river monitors and two-way radios equipped with national weather alerts in every cabin.\n\n\n\nBy the spring, Camp Mystic’s attorney said it was ready to reopen for business for nearly 900 campers.\n\n\n\nBut assurances of safety did not convince victims’ families and some Texas lawmakers. State regulators found nearly two dozen deficiencies in the emergency operations plan submitted by the owners, including deficiencies in proposals for flood-warning evacuations and safety training.\n\n\n\nAccording to a statement from attorneys for the Steward family, the camp “failed to prepare for the storm, failed to evacuate despite repeated opportunities, and left families to face chaos in the hours and days after the flood. In the last year, Camp Mystic and the Eastland family who have raced from one thing to the next—reopening, renovations, and destruction of evidence, licensing, motions attempting to push the legal cases out of public view and behind closed doors.”\n\n\n\nThe decision not to reopen followed weeks of testimony in court hearings and legislative investigations that laid bare the camp’s lack of detailed planning for a flood emergency and its reliance on poorly trained staff.\n\n\n\nFamilies of the victims packed the hearings, some wearing “Heaven’s 27” pins with photographs of their daughters. They listened to the details of missed flood-warning signs, the descriptions of the flood, and the decision to leave the girls in their cabins until it was too late. Testimony included a video of the raging floodwaters as a girl repeatedly screamed “help!” somewhere in the distance.\n\n\n\nBefore halting the reopening plans, Camp Mystic invited journalists and lawmakers to review safety improvements at the camp and promised that no camp activities would take place in the low-lying area that was devastated by the flood. The Eastland family also stressed that hundreds of families wanted to return.\n\n\n\nCamp Mystic on ‘Dateline’ Friday night\n\n\n\nThis Friday on Dateline, Lester Holt reports on the tragedy at Camp Mystic. The special features exclusive interviews with those who lost children and survivors of that fateful night. The special will also highlight the latest developments in the investigation. Dateline’s all-new 1-hour episode, “After the Flood,” airs Friday at 9 p.m on NBC 5.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tCamp

forward/center who won a national championship with new Mavs head coach Dusty May just a few months ago.\n\n\n\nJohnson Jr. is 6-foot-9 and plays around the rim, with the ability to play a complementary role just with his mere presence inside. The sophomore is a versatile player with physicality and a strong frame. He averaged 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. He has a better than 7-3 wingspan and thrived as a cutter, in post-ups, and in finishing at the rim. He was named to the All-Big Ten Defensive Team after the season. He was also selected by the conference’s coaches to the All-Big Ten second team.\n\n\n\nThe Mavericks plan to introduce him to the city on Thursday afternoon. \n\n\n\nTuesday marked the fifth time in franchise history the Mavericks selected at No. 9. They used the ninth pick to draft Rolando Blackman in 1981, Dale Ellis in 1983, Samaki Walker in 1996, and Dennis Smith Jr. in 2017. Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki was selected by the Milwaukee Bucks with the ninth pick in 1998 before his draft rights were traded to Dallas in exchange for the sixth pick, Robert Traylor.\n\n\n\nNBC Sports and the Dallas Morning News first reported the Mavericks also traded for Spanish international Sergio De Larrea. The team officially confirmed the news Wednesday afternoon, once the trade was approved by the league.\n\n\n\nBADALONA, SPAIN – JUNE 14: Sergio de Larrea of Valencia Basket warms up during the Spanish League, Liga ACB Endesa, basketball Semi Final Game 3 match played between Asisa Joventut and Valencia Basket at Olimpic Arena on June 14, 2026 in Badalona, Spain. (Photo By Javier Borrego/Europa Press via Getty Images)\n\n\n\nDe Larrea, 20, spent the last four seasons in the Spanish professional basketball league – the same league Luka Doncic played in before joining the Mavericks. Dallas reportedly traded the 30th pick (Koa Peat, Arizona) and future second-round picks for De Larrea at 25 from the Lakers.\n\n\n\nDe Larrea is a 6-foot-6 guard who has represented Spain internationally at youth competitions and trained with the national team.\n\n\n\nRound 2\n\n\n\nThe Mavs selected Virginia Tech’s Tobi Lawal with pick 48. Lawal averaged 12.3 points and 8.5 rebounds as a senior with the Hokies last season. A 6-foot-8, 215-pound forward from England, Lawal was a consistent starter at Virginia Tech after serving as a reserve in each of his two seasons at VCU. With an ankle injury sidelining him for all of December, Lawal was limited to 23 appearances this season, averaging 1.1 blocks per game while shooting 54.2 percent from the field and 76.3 percent from the foul line. An explosive athlete, Lawal did not begin playing basketball competitively until he was 16, suggesting untapped potential. Dallas already has a lot of depth at forward, so it may be difficult for Lawal to carve out a role.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Mavs traded with the Los Angeles Lakers to acquire Vsevolod Ishchenko, the No. 56 overall pick in NBA draft. The 21-year-old Ishchenko has been plying his trade in Russia at both the youth and professional levels. This past season, he averaged 8.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 steals in nearly 24 minutes per game, shooting 51.6 percent from the field, 46.3 percent from three, and 80.1 percent from the foul line. Ishchenko is a gifted offensive player with good size, and his physical tools also make him a factor defensively.

I might want to fix something on my oven, and I can’t do it,” one resident said.\n\n\n\nThe Bonnie Apartments are located just yards from the Clyde Apartments, where the explosion occurred.\n\n\n\nFor many residents, cooking now means relying on small appliances.\n\n\n\n“Just gonna do like I’ve been doing. I got me a little plug-up skillet, and it cooks, and I got me a little microwave, and it I can just warm my food up,” resident Dora Lee Woods said.\n\n\n\nWoods said some repairs have been made at the property, including window replacements. However, she questioned the quality of the work.\n\n\n\n“Look. It’s still weak. And this is new. And this is new? Yes,” Woods said while discussing a recently replaced window.\n\n\n\nResidents said they have received little information about when gas service will return.\n\n\n\n“They haven’t told us anything. Ain’t nobody told us anything about we’re going to fix y’all gas. Ain’t nobody doing anything about it,” Woods said.\n\n\n\nMany residents have turned to hot plates, crock pots, and microwaves while waiting for service to be restored. Ovens have been pulled away from walls and disconnected as a precaution.\n\n\n\nSome families have decided to leave.\n\n\n\nOthers say moving is not financially possible.\n\n\n\n“I can’t move because we don’t have the money to move,” one resident said.\n\n\n\n“We don’t have money to go nowhere. We have to put gas in the truck. We can’t go far,” another resident said.\n\n\n\nAmong those affected is Rodney Brown, who has been recognized locally for rescuing a young girl following the explosion.\n\n\n\n“It’s very hard,” Brown said.\n\n\n\n“We can’t cook a basic hot meal,” he added.\n\n\n\nThe frustrations come as Atmos Energy faces increased scrutiny related to the explosion.\n\n\n\nOn Monday, a judge ordered Atmos Energy to preserve evidence connected to the blast after a survivor alleged the company was responsible for multiple failures.\n\n\n\nIn a statement, Atmos Energy said it is working to restore service to the Bonnie Apartments.\n\n\n\n“Atmos Energy is actively working to restore service to the property at 308 East 8th Street, however a gas line not owned by Atmos Energy requires repair and testing before we can complete gas service restoration. The best source of information about the status of those repairs is with the building’s management,” the company said.\n\n\n\nProperty records indicate the Clyde Apartments and the Bonnie Apartments are owned by the same person and managed by the same company.\n\n\n\nNBC 5 reached out to ownership and management, but had not received a response.\n\n\n\nIn the meantime, nonprofits, churches and volunteers have stepped in to help residents cope with the ongoing disruption.\n\n\n\nStill, many residents say they are looking for answers from those responsible for maintaining safe and livable conditions.\n\n\n\n“Everybody is saying that they want to get out of here. Just want to get out of here,” Woods said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/nearly-a-month-after-deadly-explosion-apartment-residents-still-waiting-for-gas-service/4040394/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Candace Sweat","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:58:16.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fgas-explo.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"nearly-a-month-after-deadly-explosion-apartment-residents-still-waiting-for-gas-service"},{"id":"jxerlm","title":"Federal lawsuit challenges Fort Worth ISD decision to revoke principal promotion","excerpt":"A federal lawsuit filed by the Council on American Islamic Relations alleges Fort Worth ISD violated the constitutional rights of an educator whose promotion to principal of Western Hills High School was later withdrawn.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit centers on Shayma Alzubi, a longtime educator who was briefly...","content":"A federal lawsuit filed by the Council on American Islamic Relations alleges Fort Worth ISD violated the constitutional rights of an educator whose promotion to principal of Western Hills High School was later withdrawn.\n\n\n\nThe lawsuit centers on Shayma Alzubi, a longtime educator who was briefly promoted to principal in May before the district reversed the decision.\n\n\n\nDuring a news conference in Fort Worth, Alzubi’s attorney said the district acted after concerns were raised about social media activity from years ago.\n\n\n\n“That promotion was publicly announced and then abruptly withdrawn shortly after a hysteria erupted over her decades-old social media activity about her faith, her heritage, and some run-of-the-mill political expressions about BLM and DACA,” the attorney said.\n\n\n\nAccording to supporters and attorneys representing Alzubi, Fort Worth ISD identified four social media posts as problematic.\n\n\n\nThose posts included a repost of another person’s definition of sharia law and a photograph showing Alzubi as a college student posing next to an entry in a Chili’s restaurant coloring contest. The image included the text, “Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine.”\n\n\n\n“That’s what this hysteria is about, in part, her participation in a Chili’s coloring contest 15 years,” the attorney said.\n\n\n\nSupporters said the posts gained attention after the district shared a photograph of Alzubi as the new principal wearing a hijab.\n\n\n\nThey argued the case extends beyond one employee and raises concerns about religious identity and free speech within the school district.\n\n\n\nSupporters also criticized the district, which is currently overseen by the Texas Education Agency, saying the decision sends a troubling message to staff and students.\n\n\n\nFort Worth ISD previously told NBC 5 it became aware of “multiple social media posts” from the past and determined after review that the posts “do not align with the district’s social media policy and expectations for staff.”\n\n\n\nThe district has not publicly identified the posts it considered potentially problematic.\n\n\n\nFort Worth ISD declined to provide additional clarification and did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.Nearly 70 people signed up to speak during the public comment portion of the Fort Worth ISD board meeting Tuesday, most urging trustees to reinstate Alzubi.“She is fighting to get back what she earned and this board should be fighting with her,” one speaker said.Many parents, colleagues and even a student described Alzubi as a leader who’s earned the community’s trust.“Don’t let what a few bullies say about her over social media decide her roll in our community,” one incoming Western Hills High School student said.But not everyone who addressed the school board supported Alzubi’s return.“This is not about religion. This is not about Palestine,” one woman said. “This is about a public school employee who used her platform to advocate for Sharia law.”CAIR’s lawsuit seeks to have Alzubi reinstated as principal of Western Hills High School, along with unspecified damages and legal fees.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/fort-worth-isd-revoke-principal-promotion/4040296/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Maria Guerrero and Meredith Yeomans","publishDate":"2026-06-23T18:05:25.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FFW-PRINCIPAL.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"federal-lawsuit-challenges-fort-worth-isd-decision-to-revoke-principal-promotion"},{"id":"567jmq","title":"North Texans witness historic Medal of Honor ceremony","excerpt":"Nearly 50 years of advocacy culminated in a historic moment Friday as President Donald Trump awarded Major James Capers Jr. the Medal of Honor at the White House.\n\n\n\nThe Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award for valor.\n\n\n\n“We witnessed him getting up out the wheelchair, walking on...","content":"Nearly 50 years of advocacy culminated in a historic moment Friday as President Donald Trump awarded Major James Capers Jr. the Medal of Honor at the White House.\n\n\n\nThe Medal of Honor is the nation’s highest military award for valor.\n\n\n\n“We witnessed him getting up out the wheelchair, walking onto the stage,” retired Marine Corps chaplain Rich Stoglin said.\n\n\n\nStoglin, of North Texas’ Arlington, was personally invited to attend the ceremony.\n\n\n\n“It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and that’s just putting it lightly,” Stoglin said. “You almost can’t describe the flood of feelings that I had, and others had, on that day of a man who well deserves this award.”\n\n\n\nAlso in attendance was retired Maj. Gen. James Williams of North Texas’ Dallas.\n\n\n\n“It was a proud moment,” Williams said. “An effort that everybody that was on the team that pushed us over the goal line wanted to see, and we finally got it to happen.”\n\n\n\nWilliams said he remembered seeing Capers featured in a Marine Corps recruiting campaign that inspired him early in his career.\n\n\n\n“The Marine Corps was on a recruiting campaign, and he became part of that campaign,” Williams said. “Yes, it was very inspirational to see that.”\n\n\n\nCapers was injured 19 times in the line of duty.\n\n\n\nWilliams said he spent 49 years working to help secure the award for Capers. Stoglin and others also contributed to those efforts.\n\n\n\n“It’s like being in a rugby match, and you were in a 49-year scrum, and you finally got it across the goal line, and that’s basically what this was, this was a team effort,” Williams said.\n\n\n\nDespite that effort, Williams said the recognition belongs to Capers.\n\n\n\n“It’s not about me; this is all about Maj. Capers and about correcting the record for the history books, because at the end of the day, this story wasn’t being told much even inside the Marine Corps,” Williams said.\n\n\n\nBoth Williams and Stoglin said witnessing the ceremony made the years of work worthwhile.\n\n\n\n“You know just epitomizes what being a marine is all about,” Williams said.\n\n\n\n“It is a high honor to know him. He is that kind of man and marine to be around,” Stoglin added.\n\n\n\nBoth men are now working to bring Capers to visit the National Medal of Honor Museum in Arlington.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/north-texans-witness-historic-medal-of-honor-ceremony/4040278/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Vince Sims","publishDate":"2026-06-23T17:35:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FMEDAL.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"north-texans-witness-historic-medal-of-honor-ceremony"},{"id":"1tjlyj","title":"North Texas transit network seeing strong World Cup turnout with room to grow","excerpt":"North Texas transportation planners say there is still plenty of room for more fans to use trains and charter buses to reach upcoming World Cup matches at Dallas Stadium.\n\n\n\nOfficials are beginning to see how many fans from around the world have embraced the region’s transportation plan, which in...","content":"North Texas transportation planners say there is still plenty of room for more fans to use trains and charter buses to reach upcoming World Cup matches at Dallas Stadium.\n\n\n\nOfficials are beginning to see how many fans from around the world have embraced the region’s transportation plan, which includes riding DART in Dallas or Trinity Metro in Fort Worth, taking the TRE to CentrePort and then boarding a charter bus to Arlington.\n\n\n\nAbout 6,000 fans are using the transit system per game, according to Michael Morris. Current capacity stands at about 10,000 riders per match before additional buses would need to be activated.\n\n\n\nThat available capacity is prompting transportation planners to adjust their message to local fans.\n\n\n\nEarlier in the tournament, officials encouraged local fans to drive when possible in order to preserve transit capacity for international visitors. Morris said that is no longer necessary.\n\n\n\n“I don’t think that needs to be the message anymore – I think we have plenty of transit capacity,” said Morris.\n\n\n\nOne international visitor said the transportation options have made getting around North Texas easier.\n\n\n\nAustria fan Max Bankhamer said the combination of trains and charter buses, along with expanded rideshare lot capacity near the stadium, has worked well during his visit.\n\n\n\n“The green line, orange line is pretty handy,” said Bankhamer.\n\n\n\nBankhamer described the overall experience as “pretty solid.”\n\n\n\nTransportation leaders will continue monitoring ridership as the tournament progresses, particularly for an upcoming 6 p.m. match on Thursday and a 9 p.m. match on Saturday.\n\n\n\nMonica Paul, who leads the North Texas World Cup effort, said officials expect ridership numbers could increase as the tournament continues.\n\n\n\n“I anticipate that some of the numbers will start to increase a little bit,” said Paul.\n\n\n\nEven so, transportation officials say the extensive planning effort has paid off through the first three matches and are encouraging more fans to consider trains and buses on game days.\n\n\n\nPaul said organizers remain focused on the work ahead.\n\n\n\n“We’re also heads down and know that we are only three matches in and we have six more to go,” said Paul.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Another 933 calls came from Delux Inn, with 47 arrests for 71 criminal offenses. \n\n\n\n“That volume of crime is outrageous, it’s a nuisance, and it’s got to end,” Sorrells said. “Officers are repeatedly called back to these two properties instead of protecting other areas of our community.”\n\n\n\nNBC 5 reached out to the businesses’ owners, but did not receive a response. \n\n\n\nSorrells said repeat crimes and offenders are impacting the quality of life for residents. In the neighborhood, there are many families, some with young kids. \n\n\n\n“Sometimes we find all the drugs back there, I guess they hide them,” Mariel Barajas, who has two young kids, said. “It’s very worrisome…the girls should be able to play outside.”\n\n\n\nBarajas said that one of her neighbors once organized a neighborhood petition to get city and county officials to help. \n\n\n\nNeighbor Adrian Barrerra said his wife has called the police countless times. \n\n\n\nSome neighbors have created petitions to get city and county officials to help. \n\n\n\n“Yeah, she gets really angry about it,” Barrera said. “I told her, keep calling so somebody could listen.”\n\n\n\nAnd now they feel like someone is, with the two new lawsuits working to get the properties under control. \n\n\n\nSorrells said the county sued other businesses with similar issues in the past and shut them down. \n\n\n\n“Left unchecked, these activities contribute to neighborhood deterioration,” Fort Worth Police Department Assistant Chief Chris Daniels said.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/shut-you-down-tarrant-county-da-suing-two-crime-riddled-motels/4040233/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Jala Washington","publishDate":"2026-06-23T16:44:48.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Ffw-motel.png%3Ffit%3D662%2C373%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"shut-you-down-tarrant-county-da-suing-two-crime-riddled-motels"},{"id":"n6yyq2","title":"Texas doctor charged in $89M fraud case as administration pushes healthcare crackdown","excerpt":"The Justice Department on Tuesday announced criminal charges against 455 people as part of a two-week healthcare fraud crackdown that officials say involved more than $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to insurers.\n\n\n\nAmong those charged are 13 in North Texas, and a nurse practitioner in the ...","content":"The Justice Department on Tuesday announced criminal charges against 455 people as part of a two-week healthcare fraud crackdown that officials say involved more than $6.5 billion in false claims submitted to insurers.\n\n\n\nAmong those charged are 13 in North Texas, and a nurse practitioner in the state is accused of billing Medicaid for medically unnecessary wound-care procedures and using the proceeds for fancy jewelry and luxury cars; a mental health company owner who prosecutors say exploited the homeless by billing for crisis stabilization services they did not need; and a hospice owner alleged to have paid kickbacks to a funeral home employee for information about Medicare beneficiaries.\n\n\n\nA heart doctor is charged in Florida in an $89 million healthcare fraud scheme, accused of billing insurers for medically unnecessary cardiovascular screening tests for college student-athletes and then rubber-stamping the results as normal without reviewing them.\n\n\n\nJason Finkelstein, 53, faces charges in Florida of healthcare fraud and conspiracy in what prosecutors describe as a yearslong scheme that preyed on the fears of athletes that they could die on playing fields or courts of sudden cardiac arrest.\n\n\n\nAthletes with no preexisting conditions who were concerned about being cleared to compete were administered tests they did not need and, in one case, a patient whose results were falsely certified as normal later died after his significant heart problems were undetected, the indictment says.\n\n\n\nHealthcare fraud has been a long-running Justice Department priority and news conferences announcing mass roundups and crackdowns have been common occurrences across the years. The Trump administration has sought to emphasize fraud enforcement over the last year, including by appointing a new assistant attorney general, Colin McDonald, to oversee healthcare fraud prosecutions at the Justice Department, which operates multiple specialized task forces.\n\n\n\n“Today’s cases allege more than the theft of taxpayer dollars. Many allege the theft of human dignity,” McDonald said at a news conference announcing this year’s crackdown, which covers cases charged or unsealed since June 8. “Our sick, needy and elderly placing their faith in the gift of medicine were neglected, ignored and used for personal profit,”\n\n\n\nThe department says Finkelstein’s case, with allegations not only of unrendered services but also poor medical performance that put patients at risk, represents the type of sophisticated scheme prosecutors are striving to disrupt.\n\n\n\nA lawyer for Finkelstein, a Texas-based doctor who pleaded not guilty during a court appearance in Florida on Monday, did not return messages seeking comment.\n\n\n\nThe alleged fraud ran from 2019 through the end of last year and, prosecutors say, involved Finkelstein and a pair of unidentified co-conspirators at a Florida-based cardiovascular testing and treatment practice he owned and operated.\n\n\n\nOfficials say the scheme had multiple components, with Finkelstein and his company using what the indictment describes as deceptive marketing tactics to offer free heart screenings to students who did not need them, then certifying the results as normal without reviewing them, even when they revealed potential problems.\n\n\n\nThe indictment quotes Finkelstein as telling an unnamed co-conspirator with whom he worked that “(t)hese kids could be high risk …(o)ne of them drops dead on a field, they’re coming after both of us.”\n\n\n\nFinkelstein’s co-conspirators blasted out emails to athletic trainers at colleges and universities stating that the tests being offered could identify any life-threatening condition that could prevent the students from playing, and also offered kickbacks and other inducements to school officials to refer potential patients, according to the indictment.\n\n\n\nInsurance companies do not cover blanket cardiovascular testing; instead, they require a prior finding of medical necessity. To avert that roadblock and secure reimbursement, prosecutors say, Finkelstein submitted to insurers phony diagnoses of conditions, such as elevated blood pressure and hypertension, that the athletes did not actually have.\n\n\n\nHis company relied on sonographers who lacked the requisite credentials to travel to college campuses to perform the tests, and because Finkelstein was licensed in the 48 contiguous states, he and his company were able to submit claims for patients across the country, the indictment says.\n\n\n\nAt the same time, prosecutors say, Finkelstein would certify cardiac test results as being normal without actually reviewing them.

The attack happened almost a year ago, on July 4, 2025.\n\n\n\nThe alleged organizer, Benjamin Song, was sentenced to 100 years in prison; he could have received as little as 20 years or up to life.\n\n\n\nProsecutors said Benjamin Song, a former U.S. Marine Corps reservist, yelled “get to the rifles” and opened fire, striking one police officer who had just pulled up to the center. Though it was Song who opened fire, prosecutors charged several other protesters with attempted murder of an officer and discharging a firearm as well, but they were found not guilty. The prosecution had argued that from the group’s planning, it was foreseeable to those others that a shooting could happen.\n\n\n\nMaricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years. Savanna Batten, Zachary Evetts, Autumn Hill, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto were sentenced to 600 months (approx. 50 years).\n\n\n\nDaniel Estrada was charged with corruptly concealing a document and conspiracy to conceal documents. He was found guilty of both and sentenced to 30 years.\n\n\n\nThere were nine defendants on trial in all, eight of whom faced the charge of providing material support to terrorists, among other charges.\n\n\n\nThe sentencing hearing was on Tuesday morning (June 23) in a federal courthouse in Fort Worth. The ninth defendant’s hearing was rescheduled for next week. The other defendant could be sentenced to 10 to 60 years.\n\n\n\nFederal prosecutors claim the group targeted the facility to disrupt immigration and deportation operations. They will be sentenced for their roles in rioting, obstruction, and attempted murder. An Alvarado police officer was shot but survived.\n\n\n\nProsecutors called the case “domestic terrorism,” calling the violence an attack plotted by antifa operatives, but attorneys for the accused denied that characterization, saying there were no antifa associations and that it was merely a demonstration with fireworks before gunshots broke out. The decentralized far-left movement has become a target of the Trump administration. FBI Director Kash Patel had said the case was the first time charges of providing material support to terrorists had targeted people accused of being antifa members.\n\n\n\nShort for “anti-fascists,” antifa is not a single organization but rather an umbrella term for far-left militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at demonstrations.\n\n\n\nThe terrorism charges followed Trump’s order last fall to designate antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. Those charges did not require a tie to any organization, and there is no domestic equivalent to the State Department’s list of foreign terror organizations. That’s in part because organizations operating within the United States are protected by broad First Amendment rights.\n\n\n\nCritics of the Justice Department’s case have said the outcome could have wide-reaching effects on protests.\n\n\n\n“That opposition is something that the government wants to squash so a case like this helps the government kind of see how far they can go in criminalizing constitutionally protected protests and also helps them kind of intimidate, increase the fear, hoping that folks in other cities then will think twice over protesting,” said Suzanne Adely, interim president of the National Lawyers Guild, a progressive legal group.\n\n\n\nThe group brought fireworks and vandalized vehicles and a guard station; at least one person brought a gun. The group’s attorneys say it was an anti-immigration crackdown protest. Attorneys for the defendants have said most protesters began leaving when two guards from the center came outside. That was before any shots were fired.\n\n\n\nThe trial lasted 12 days back in March; more than 45 witnesses testified, and hundreds of pieces of evidence were shown; the jurors ultimately convicted them. It was closely followed by legal experts and critics who called the proceedings a test of the lengths the government can go to punish protesters.\n\n\n\nThe officer who was shot, Alvarado Police Lt. Thomas Gross, testified that when responding to the scene, he saw a person clad in all-black with their face covered and carrying a rifle. He told jurors he was shot with a round that went into his shoulder and out of his neck.\n\n\n\nSong’s attorney, Phillip Hayes, told jurors during closing arguments that there wasn’t a call to arms before Gross arrived on the scene and “aggressively” pulled out his firearm. Hayes suggested that Song’s shots were “suppressive fire” and that a ricochet bullet is what hit the officer.\n\n\n\nLeading up to the trial, several people pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists after being accused of supporting antifa. They face up to 15 years in prison at sentencing.\n\n\n\nSome of them testified for the prosecution, including Seth Sikes, who said he went to the detention center because he wanted to bring some joy to those held inside.\n\n\n\n“I felt like I was doing the right thing,” he said.\n\n\n\nAssociated Press reporter Jim Vertuno contributed from Austin, Texas.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/sentencing-for-8-accused-of-antifa-ties-convicted-on-terrorism-charges-over-shooting-at-tx-immigration-facility/4039978/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"JAMIE STENGLE | The Associated Press, Charles Nichelson and Shannon Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-23T09:20:24.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2025%2F09%2Fn6pt-v-prairieland-det_KXASA7Q2_2025-09-30-18-48-43.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"decades-long-sentences-announced-in-shooting-at-alvarado-ice-facility"},{"id":"f3va55","title":"Dallas council rejects raising convention center height amid thoroughfare access concerns","excerpt":"The Dallas City Council rejected a proposal to raise the height of the proposed Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center to accommodate the Jefferson Street viaduct and Houston Street bridge.\n\n\n\nAssistant city manager Robin Bentley told council members before the vote, whatever decision was made, t...","content":"The Dallas City Council rejected a proposal to raise the height of the proposed Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center to accommodate the Jefferson Street viaduct and Houston Street bridge.\n\n\n\nAssistant city manager Robin Bentley told council members before the vote, whatever decision was made, that vehicular access between downtown and Oak Cliff would be maintained.\n\n\n\n“The number of lanes in and the number of lanes out are going to be exactly the same,” Bentley said. “The access from Oak Cliff and southern Dallas will be the same. It’s the same traffic lanes in and the same traffic lanes out. \n\n\n\n“We’re not closing anything. We’re not demolishing anything.”\n\n\n\nThe debate brought 88 public speakers, many living in areas of Oak Cliff urging support for the raising the convention center height, with many working in the tourism industry that asked for no additional delays to the project.\n\n\n\nCity councilmember Chad West said he supported the convention center project but said communication from city staff on details related to the convention center’s impact on commuters was difficult to obtain in recent months and lacked clarity.\n\n\n\n“I cannot support moving forward with a plan that limits Oak Cliff’s connection to downtown, especially after decades of this city making decisions that leave Southern Dallas behind,” West said.\n\n\n\n“”There is no closure, we’re just rerouting traffic on a detour ramp, which will still provide the same access into downtown and the same access out of downtown,” Bentley said. “And I don‘t think we’ve done a fabulous job as a staff of explaining that in very simple terms.”\n\n\n\nRight now, the plan is to reopen the convention center in 2030; any further delay could cost the city $1.4 million per month, according to Visit Dallas, the nonprofit responsible for marketing the city. Oak Cliff council members and residents were vocal about their opposition to the closure of the viaducts.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou can read more in-depth reporting from our media partner, The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-morning-news/dallas-city-council-to-consider-convention-center-redevelopment-plan-impact-on-downtown-oak-cliff-thoroughfares/4039944/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson, Devyani Chhetri, Staff Writer and David Goins","publishDate":"2026-06-23T08:40:50.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2Fdallas-convention-center.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"dallas-council-rejects-raising-convention-center-height-amid-thoroughfare-access-concerns"},{"id":"t5ckms","title":"Judge orders Atmos to preserve evidence from Oak Cliff explosion as survivor sues","excerpt":"A judge on Monday ordered Atmos Energy to preserve evidence from a deadly Oak Cliff gas explosion, hours after a survivor blamed the utility in court filings of multiple failures leading up to the blast.\n\n\n\nThe filings, part of a lawsuit first filed in late May, allege the company failed to repai...","content":"A judge on Monday ordered Atmos Energy to preserve evidence from a deadly Oak Cliff gas explosion, hours after a survivor blamed the utility in court filings of multiple failures leading up to the blast.\n\n\n\nThe filings, part of a lawsuit first filed in late May, allege the company failed to repair repeated gas leaks, replace an aging plastic pipeline long linked to leaks and explosions and properly mark underground gas lines before drilling was to take place at the site. \n\n\n\nIn a statement, Atmos disputed that one of the types of pipe material highlighted in the filing as problematic was present at the site, and said it hired a professional line locator to find the gas line before the explosion. The utility did not respond to questions about the restraining order, but had previously said in emails included in court documents that it was abiding by its “preservation obligations.” \n\n\n\nDallas Fire-Rescue was responding May 28 to a reported gas leak at The Clyde apartments on East 9th Street, near Patton Avenue, when an explosion sparked a fire. Three people died; at least five others were injured. It was Dallas’ deadliest gas-related accident since 2018, when an explosion in northwest Dallas killed a 12-year-old girl.\n\n\n\nRead more from our media partners, The Dallas Morning News.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/judge-orders-atmos-to-preserve-evidence-from-oak-cliff-explosion-as-survivor-sues-utility/4039913/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Jamie Landers, Sue Ambrose, Michael Cuviello, Staff Writers | The Dallas Morning","publishDate":"2026-06-23T08:03:35.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fposter-frame-1782220032878.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"judge-orders-atmos-to-preserve-evidence-from-oak-cliff-explosion-as-survivor-sues"},{"id":"dcq1c8","title":"15 people hurt after DART bus crashes into hole on Harry Hines Blvd.","excerpt":"Fifteen passengers were hospitalized early Thursday after a DART bus dropped into a roadway hole on Harry Hines Boulevard when the metal construction plate covering the opening shifted, according to Dallas Fire‑Rescue.","content":"Fifteen passengers were hospitalized early Thursday after a DART bus dropped into a roadway hole on Harry Hines Boulevard when the metal construction plate covering the opening shifted, according to Dallas Fire‑Rescue.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/15-people-hurt-after-dart-bus-crashes-into-hole-on-harry-hines-blvd/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T00:21:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2Fa657fd8a-7d79-4b53-b928-63f1cde97f90%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe01ea5a43b94181f446c51ea8ba87b24%2F5655478459c0023cbffe19531db955c3.jpg","slug":"15-people-hurt-after-dart-bus-crashes-into-hole-on-harry-hines-blvd"},{"id":"2dr9vi","title":"Giraffe owner plans to use helicopter to search for Gracie in Real County, Texas","excerpt":"Vick Jones said Gracie has been missing for two weeks.","content":"Vick Jones said Gracie has been missing for two weeks.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/giraffe-owner-plans-to-use-helicopter-to-search-for-gracie-in-real-county-texas/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-26T00:14:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F26%2F5f7aa654-3f1c-4afc-8dcf-53e94788cb71%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F7c08ebbb9de688472846d60b516a257b%2F8c9296d5163fd20d4aa96bbfdd70df62.jpg","slug":"giraffe-owner-plans-to-use-helicopter-to-search-for-gracie-in-real-county-texas"},{"id":"2kt8kd","title":"Grand Prairie firefighter on leave after arrest in Collin County child‑injury case, authorities say","excerpt":"A Grand Prairie firefighter has been placed on administrative leave after his arrest in Collin County on allegations that he injured his child, authorities said.

Texas DPS identified the victims in the F-150 as Billy McKellar, 79, Zabar McKellar, 52, Krishaun McKellar, 45, and 16-year-old Kason McKellar. The fifth injured passenger of the F-150 was identified as 20-year-old Evan McKellar by Texas DPS and family members.The 18-wheeler driven by Gonzalez-Companioni was then pushed into two other 18-wheelers, causing one to jack-knife and strike a Jeep Compass, a Ford Mustang, and a Honda passenger vehicle, according to Texas DPS. One person in the Jeep Compass struck by the jack-knifed semi was also pronounced dead at the scene, later identified as Nicole Gregory. The Terrell Volunteer Fire Department described the crash as \"horrific.\" Gonzalez-Companioni, who is not an American citizen, faced several charges, including five counts of manslaughter, DPS said. The Cuban-born driver will be deported once his sentence is served. \"Three generations ... are gone\": Family members give impact statementsSeveral family members of the victims gave victim impact statements in court. \"I didn't know how I would ever get through this cloud of darkness that you have forced over my life,\" one victim said in her statement. \"My life will never be the same ... I could go on and on, but I am done torturing myself and unrelenting tears of sadness. I have the rest of my life to be reminded of what I can never have again.\"Gonzalez-Campioni put his head down as the victim statements were read.Evan McKellar, the 21-year-old who lost part of her leg but survived the crash that killed her parents and brother, did not attend on Thursday \"because of the mental challenges that this hour would bring to her,\" a family member said in court. Another family member shared a story with the court about a conversation about family that she had with Evan McKellar when she came home from the hospital.\"Evan cried out in anger and said, 'There are no more McKellars.' I thought she was just speaking out of grief, but when I think about it: a father's seed is his son. There are no more McKellar seeds. We lost a grandfather, we lost a father and we lost a son... Three generations of McKellers are gone.\"Sobs could be heard in the court as she spoke.But one of the most powerful moments came when a recording was played from Evan McKellar. \"At the same time that I've had to grieve my family, I've also had to grieve myself. I lost my leg as a result of this incident, and I will have to live with that every day. I am not the same person that I was before. I still grieve the young woman who can run, jump, dance, and move freely without thinking about every step. I loved dancing, and I loved being active.\"The college graduate plans to attend law school once she's physically recovered. The trucking company, which authorities say falsified the registration on the vehicle, also faces criminal charges, as two families attempt to rebuild their lives from what appear to be serious failures by the driver and company to operate safely.

They’re halfway there with 27 games to go in the regular season.\n\n\n\nThe Wings are coming off thrilling wins over two struggling teams, the Chicago Sky and Seattle Storm. Paige Bueckers played a stellar game against Seattle: 27 points, a go-ahead basket with 13 seconds remaining in overtime, and 17 of the team’s final 24 points. \n\n\n\nBueckers also reached 1,000 career WNBA points at the fourth-fastest pace in league history (52 games).\n\n\n\nHer former UConn costar-turned-teammate Azzi Fudd put up a season-high 26.\n\n\n\nBueckers and Fudd are supported by veterans Arike Ogunbowale and Jessica Shepard, who are both top 30 in the league in scoring at 14 points per game.\n\n\n\nBueckers leads the team and is top 10 in the league at 19 points per game; Fudd is second among rookies at 13 points per game.\n\n\n\nThe Wings’ next home game is Sunday afternoon against the Minnesota Lynx and former TCU star Olivia Miles, who leads all WNBA rookies in scoring.

Through chemotherapy and long hours in the hospital, Mayes said his love of the game never wavered.\n\n\n\n“It’s really exciting to be able to grow up and get over cancer,” said Keegan Mayes.\n\n\n\nLast fall, a lump in Mayes’ neck doubled in size in just one week. His family initially thought it was a swollen lymph node, but on his 15th birthday, they learned it was cancer.\n\n\n\nHis mother, Wendy Mayes, said the diagnosis was devastating, but doctors quickly moved forward with a treatment plan.\n\n\n\n“That’s when we got the news that it was Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and we were obviously devastated, but we quickly had a plan,” said his mother, Wendy Mayes.\n\n\n\nChildren’s Health Pediatric Oncologist Dr. Katie Ludwig said Hodgkin’s lymphoma is one of the more survivable cancers.\n\n\n\n“Luckily, in our world of cancer, it is actually one of our most curable or one of the most survivable cancers with a cure rate of over 90%,” said Ludwig.\n\n\n\nLudwig drew up what became a winning game plan. Within a week of his diagnosis, Mayes started chemotherapy and spent countless hours in the hospital. She described the treatment as difficult and life-changing.\n\n\n\n“A lot of therapy, intense therapy, life-changing therapy,” Ludwig said.\n\n\n\nThrough it all, Mayes stayed focused on goals both on and off the soccer pitch. When he began losing his hair, he turned the moment into something he could share with friends.\n\n\n\n“We had a party where I just let my friends come over. We have hair clippers at the house, and we just buzzed my hair,” said Keegan.\n\n\n\nMayes said his soccer team helped him stay connected and positive during treatment.\n\n\n\n“Everybody cared super much on my soccer team. Everybody recognized what I was doing. And I mean, throughout treatments, I still played and I still connected. It was really easy to, instead of focusing on the bad, focus on the good and play soccer with the people I love.”\n\n\n\nWithin six months, Mayes was in remission, just in time for what he called the event of a lifetime.\n\n\n\n“One big thing happening this summer is the World Cup and we’re going to one of the games in Seattle, and there’s one in Dallas, and I’m really excited to go,” said Keegan.\n\n\n\nNow, Mayes is a cancer survivor celebrating the ultimate game-winner.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

They're not measuring the same thing. Some estimates count only the water used to cool data centers. Others add the water used to generate the electricity that powers them. Still others rely on outdated assumptions about fast-changing technology.As figures ricochet across blogs, social media, protest signs and public meetings, nuance is lost.That leaves a basic question: How much water does AI use?The answer can depend on the AI model, the data center's location and the mix of sources in the local power grid. In some cases, amounts can differ by hundreds of times over.To sort through the claims, we reviewed the scientific research behind some widely shared figures about AI's thirst for water.We also compared estimates with water used for other products and services people eat, buy and use every day, including the viral statistic that producing a single hamburger uses more water than thousands of AI prompts. That one is true, no matter how you count.In the end, while data centers consume a lot of water, the data show the biggest demands on the country's water are activities that make up everyday life, from growing food to watering lawns to bathing.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/how-much-water-does-ai-really-use/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"John Kelly","publishDate":"2026-06-25T21:42:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F12%2F7411fdfc-85b8-4453-a8bf-8939a4e23af4%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F682efe9adef9e81c25ef4da5833a4eac%2Fgettyimages-2257476676.jpg","slug":"how-much-water-does-ai-really-use"},{"id":"73puyz","title":"1 child killed, 3 children injured in Fort Worth house fire; Good Samaritan helps rescue victims, officials say","excerpt":"An overnight house fire in Fort Worth has left one child dead and three children injured, officials confirmed early Thursday morning.

According to the Fort Worth Fire Department, a little after 3 a.m., crews were called to the fire at a home in the 4200 block of McCart Avenue. When they arrived, heavy fire was coming from the front and side of the home, and medical helicopters were called in to transport the victims. Charred rubble is all that remains of the home a family of seven used to call home. Robin Allen lives two doors down.\"I'm really speechless,\" Allen said. \"I'm heartbroken. I can only imagine what the mom is going through.\"Allen said it sounded like an explosion jolted her out of her sleep.\"I heard like a boom sound,\" Allen said.That sound came from the home along McCart Avenue.\"I see lights flashing, and I see smoke. It smelled like something was burning,\" Allen said.Allen said the fire was so intense that she couldn't see past her next-door neighbor's truck.\"I noticed there was a guy standing here. He was bloody drenched with blood,\" Allen said.Good Samaritan helps pull victims from home At least two of the children were pulled from the home by a bystander, later identified as Leon Segura, officials said. Segura was transported from the scene with deep cuts to his hands and arms and burns to his back. He was later released, officials said. A witness, Rosalina Garcia, said she was with Segura when he rescued the children. \"I would definitely consider him a hero,\" she told CBS News Texas. Ahead of a news conference, Segura returned to the scene and spoke with reporters, describing how he jumped into action. He said he was driving through the area when he saw the fire. \"I had the windows down and heard some screaming, so I really quick just jumped out the truck,\" Segura said. \"I kicked down the front door, and it was really hot, and I couldn't get in at all. The flames were really super hot.\"He said he saw one of the children outside the home on the phone in the front yard, who told him her siblings were still inside. Segura said that's when he ran to the back of the home, punched through the glass screen door, turned the hot knob and went inside with his bandana wrapped around his face. \"It was really bad in there,\" he said. Segura said he saw two children passed out on the floor and grabbed one and took them outside, and then went back to grab the other. \"I knew I had to do that,\" Segura said of rescuing the two children. He said he's a father of 18-year-old and 17-year-old daughters. \"What if it was one of my kids?\" Segura said. \"I would want to have somebody act immediately.\" FWFD said seven people lived inside the home – two adults and five children. One victim, only identified as a school-age child, died at the scene, and two children were taken to the hospital by helicopter, while another child was transported by ambulance. The two adults and one of the children were not seriously injured. Cause of fire under investigation \"Anytime you've got any type of fatality involved, it's just hard for our folks… They try and wonder what they could've done better, what they could've done differently,\" Fort Worth Fire spokesperson Craig Trojacek said. \"Anytime you hear of a kid, it takes it to a whole other level. We're dads, we're moms – it hits us tough.\" Fire investigators have not released the cause of the fire as they remain on scene.

It’s a really nice, cool giveaway,” Evgeny Persky said.\n\n\n\nThe bracelets can be personalized with a wide variety of charms representing sports, countries and Dallas-themed designs.\n\n\n\n“So over 140 different charms. And there’s everything from numbers, so you can put your sports team number, things specific to Dallas or different emblems and logos for each country represented,” Jennifer Chandler, Bank of America Dallas President, said.\n\n\n\nBank of America, the official bank sponsor of FIFA World Cup 26, is behind the giveaway. The company says it has distributed millions of fan bands as excitement around the tournament continues to grow.\n\n\n\nChandler said the popularity of the bracelets has surpassed expectations.\n\n\n\n“We have had so much momentum and excitement around FIFA to begin with. We’ve been planning for this for years, but I have to say the bracelets themselves have exceeded our expectations. They’ve been so much fun to see the fans waiting in line to get one. And I think it’s because I want to remember this important moment that the World Cup came to the United States,” Chandler said.\n\n\n\nSome fans say social media has fueled demand for the bracelets.\n\n\n\n“Obviously, you know how social media works. It went viral. Everyone’s posting it. Everyone needs to get their own bracelet, custom made. Everyone likes free stuff,” Jan Valle said.\n\n\n\nFans hoping to get one should be prepared to wait. Lines at the Fan Festival have stretched for hours.\n\n\n\nFor those looking for more traditional souvenirs, official FIFA World Cup merchandise is also available at retailers across North Texas, including CVS stores and a dedicated shop at Galleria Dallas.\n\n\n\nShoppers at the Galleria Dallas location are purchasing jerseys, hats, keychains, magnets and pins as they look to take home a piece of the tournament.\n\n\n\nOne customer said the atmosphere surrounding the World Cup is part of the appeal.\n\n\n\n“I love it. I really do. Am I as knowledgeable as most people? No, but I love to watch. I love the hubbub of it all,” Carla Franklin said.\n\n\n\nThe merchandise is attracting both casual fans and longtime soccer supporters.\n\n\n\n“I’ve been a big soccer fan since I was little, I mean my favorite team is Manchester United,” Cameron Garcia said.\n\n\n\nThe Galleria Dallas store also offers exclusive patch customization for jerseys and shirts.\n\n\n\nGarcia said the tournament is bringing benefits beyond soccer.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s great. It’s good for the community that Dallas is getting a huge boost. So a lot of people from different countries coming in to experience Texas, experience our culture, and see what we bring to Texas,” Garcia said.\n\n\n\nGalleria Dallas officials say sales typically increase on days before and after matches at Dallas Stadium, with demand sometimes becoming so strong that lines form outside the store.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW. AI tools helped convert the story into a digital article, and an NBC DFW journalist edited it again before publication.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/viral-fifa-bracelets-spark-long-lines-at-dallas-fan-festival/4039704/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Sophia Beausoleil","publishDate":"2026-06-22T16:52:47.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Ffan-bands.png%3Ffit%3D662%2C373%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"viral-fifa-bracelets-spark-long-lines-at-dallas-fan-festival"},{"id":"flqag4","title":"Search for survivors continues in Venezuela after 2 earthquakes","excerpt":"Video captured the moment the ceiling at Simón Bolívar International Airport gave way on Wednesday as a pair of powerful earthquakes leveled neighborhoods.","content":"Video captured the moment the ceiling at Simón Bolívar International Airport gave way on Wednesday as a pair of powerful earthquakes leveled neighborhoods.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/search-for-survivors-continues-in-venezuela-after-2-earthquakes/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-25T21:17:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2Fba58b72f-c540-4c2b-b601-f2a4e1c8326f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa4e52cb7b4a855943a26a6a60337b619%2F63fb21a8844078b05cac27fd1db84d64.jpg","slug":"search-for-survivors-continues-in-venezuela-after-2-earthquakes"},{"id":"e8csze","title":"Fans gather at Fort Worth's Sundance Square for Japan vs. Sweden match","excerpt":"Japan returns to Arlington for a second time after facing the Netherlands at Dallas Stadium for their first match of the tournament, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

Questions persist about unexplained redactions, missing documents, email gaps","excerpt":"When the Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, survivors, advocates and lawmakers quickly raised questions about an apparent discrepancy: the DOJ had said it collected more than 6 million pages of material during its invest...","content":"When the Department of Justice released more than 3 million pages of documents under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, survivors, advocates and lawmakers quickly raised questions about an apparent discrepancy: the DOJ had said it collected more than 6 million pages of material during its investigation but was only releasing half that number.The Justice Department tells CBS News it \"has released every document required by the Epstein Files Transparency Act,\" and maintains that those unreleased 3 million documents were either duplicative, unrelated to Epstein or protected by legal privilege.But concerns persist about evidence that important documents are still being withheld. CBS News has analyzed the archive not only for what has been disclosed, but also for documents that appear to be absent. Our key findings include:Questionable redactions, including public figures' namesMost Epstein emails from older accounts not included in filesMissing email attachmentsNo record of Signal communicationsLack of massage scheduling records after 2009Missing prison surveillance footageMissing documents from DEA investigation into EpsteinOther potentially relevant materials from ICE, Treasury, CIA and other agencies were not included because the law only applies to DOJ records.The Government Accountability Office recently announced it was launching an investigation into the way documents that were released had information blacked out. That move comes at the request of several members of Congress. Rep. Robert Garcia, the top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, says that if there are duplicates, \"OK, that's fine, let's see them.\" He adds, \"I think what people need to understand is … we're not sure what's in the 3 million.\" Despite the unprecedented volume of material now available, it's apparent that many gaps remain in the public record surrounding Epstein's activities, his communication, the federal investigations into him and the circumstances surrounding his death behind bars. Our review identified several areas where important questions remain unanswered or documents appear to remain unreleased. Redaction issuesThe Epstein Files Transparency Act provides only limited grounds for withholding information or redacting names. Its primary purpose is to protect victims. The bill specifically excluded \"reputational harm, or political sensitivity\" as a reason for redacting. Yet in many instances prominent individuals' names were redacted while victims' names were not.Some redactions seem difficult to justify. In one example, a text where Epstein sent Steve Bannon a link to an article, Bannon's face was blacked out in a photo that had already been publicly posted online.The DOJ redacted a photo of Steve Bannon in the Epstein files.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n Elsewhere, the names of business contacts and acquaintances of Epstein appear to have been redacted without an obvious reason under the terms of the law.Many of the emails in the Epstein files had the names of his contacts and associates redacted. Some were later unredacted after CBS News inquired about them.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n In another widely cited example, a 2002 email with the signoff \"Love, Melania\" had the full name and email of the sender and receiver redacted. In April, first lady Melania Trump acknowledged having exchanged emails with Ghislaine Maxwell, saying in a statement that it \"cannot be categorized as anything more than casual correspondence. My polite reply to her email doesn't amount to anything more than a trivial note.\"A 2002 email in the Epstein files signed \"Love, Melania,\" with the sender's and receiver's names redacted.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ to provide a justification for every redaction. It permits withholding information that \"would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy,\" but also states that all redactions must be accompanied by a written justification published in the Federal Register and submitted to Congress. The Department of Justice has made no attempt to address specific redactions and instead issued a general statement saying its redactions were \"[c]onsistent with the Act.\" Members of Congress have been given the opportunity to review redacted material, but the process is time consuming and some have complained their searches are being monitored by the DOJ. After CBS News reached out to the DOJ for comment on these redactions, the photo of Bannon and two of the emails were quietly unredacted. After one of those was unredacted, it revealed the sender was former U.K. diplomat Peter Mandelson, who was arrested earlier this year on suspicion of mishandling sensitive government documents, which BBC News reports he denies. Mandelson has said he regrets his friendship with Epstein and says he never witnessed criminal activity.After CBS News reached out to the DOJ, the name on this email from former British diplomat Peter Mandelson to Jeffrey Epstein was unredacted.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n A gap in email communicationsThe DOJ released hundreds of thousands of Epstein's emails. Nearly all originate from an email account he created around the time he went to jail in 2008: jeevacation@gmail.com. Missing from the Epstein files are emails from his other, earlier accounts, including approximately 20,000 messages from Epstein's jeeproject@yahoo.com account, which were previously obtained by hackers and later archived by the nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets. It's unclear if the DOJ itself ever obtained those emails. Some older email messages do appear in records apparently obtained from Ghislaine Maxwell's accounts or other sources, but the DOJ's release is missing most of Epstein's earliest communications.However, a batch of documents raises questions about what the DOJ does have; a series of screengrab images of Epstein's inbox for an email account littlestjeff@yahoo.com (a reference to his island, Little St. James) from the early 2000s — notably a period of time when Epstein was in touch with Donald Trump, whom he knew through New York and Palm Beach social circles. The sender and recipient fields on those records are heavily redacted. Mr. Trump has repeatedly claimed he has never used email, but those communications could potentially have references to Epstein's relationship with Mr. Trump and others. This was also the period in which Epstein was found to have been recruiting underage girls for sexual massages, and would likely have been of high interest to investigators. Mr. Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in connection with Epstein. White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told CBS News, \"Just as President Trump has said, he's been totally exonerated on anything relating to Epstein. And by releasing thousands of pages of documents, cooperating with the House Oversight Committee's subpoena request, signing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and calling for more investigations into Epstein's Democrat friends, President Trump has done more for Epstein's victims than anyone before him.\" Despite the DOJ apparently having access to Epstein's inbox, only a handful of emails from that account were included in the release. Internal FBI communicationsThe release includes a substantial amount of internal DOJ and FBI correspondence. The names of many DOJ and FBI officials involved in those communications have been redacted, making it difficult to reconstruct who was responsible for key investigative actions. A portion of an email in the Epstein files with names of FBI officials redacted.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n Missing email attachmentsNumerous emails in the archive reference attached documents that do not appear to have been included in the release.One example concerns the theft of approximately 30 firearms from Epstein's Zorro Ranch property in New Mexico. In August 2018, an employee emailed Epstein a file titled \"ZMC_-_Gun_Inventory.pdf,\" which contained information about the weapons, including their serial numbers. According to a New Mexico State Police report obtained by CBS News, those serial numbers were withheld from investigators during the theft investigation. CBS News was unable to locate any document containing firearm serial numbers in the released archive.Even where attachments may have been released, linking them back to the emails from which they originated is nearly impossible; the DOJ replaced original file names with its own document numbering system, making it difficult to determine whether such attachments were included elsewhere in the archive, or which email a file may have been originally attached to. The DEA investigationOne notable document in the files is a 69-page report produced by the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Fusion Center identifying Epstein and 14 others as targets of a DEA investigation into alleged money laundering connected to ecstasy or ketamine trafficking.An investigation of that scope would likely have generated substantial records, including investigative reports, emails and financial analyses. None of that material was released.Jeffrey Epstein, at right, and the cover page of a 2015 Drug Enforcement Administration memo listing him as one of 15 people targeted in an investigation.\n \n Document released by Department of Justice\n\n The DEA denied CBS News' requests for related records under the Freedom of Information Act and also declined a request from Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden seeking additional information about the investigation, the senator's office told CBS News.Other agencies and investigations Previous reporting by the Washington Post revealed that Epstein had been named in an investigation in the 1990s into Towers Financial, a notorious Ponzi scheme, but was never charged. Documents related to that investigation were not included in the release despite it having been conducted by the DOJ. One notable limitation of the law requiring the Epstein files' release is that it only applies to the DOJ. Other agencies may have documents relating to Epstein that they have not released. The document about the DEA investigation revealed three separate Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigations, two of which had already been closed by the time of the 2015 report and one that was listed as pending. But ICE, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, is not covered by the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Neither are other government agencies including the State Department, Treasury Department, CIA or NSA, which may have collected material on Epstein over the past several decades. (With his global network of political and business contacts, Epstein himself wondered if U.S. intelligence had files on him.)Index issues CBS News spent weeks analyzing indexes of files provided to Ghislaine Maxwell by the DOJ during her criminal case. This same index had been used previously by media outlets to identify three missing FBI interview records, known as 302s, in which agents documented what they were told by Epstein accusers who made claims about Mr. Trump. He has denied any wrongdoing.This index used a Bates numbering — a common legal document indexing system — to catalog records. More than 70% of the roughly 5,000 documents listed in the index could not be located through searches of the released archive using their assigned document numbers, according to a CBS News analysis.The DOJ told CBS News that many of the missing entries may have been identified as duplicates, and therefore were excluded from publication. Using contextual clues, including witness interview dates and document descriptions, some files could be located elsewhere, but for many that was not possible. One example involves an individual named Joseph Alvarez, also known as \"Gypsy Gita.\" Gita had previously reportedly been named by one Epstein survivor as someone who introduced her to Ghislaine Maxwell. Alvarez died in 2021. The Epstein files include these photos related to Joseph Alvarez, also known as \"Gypsy Gita.\" \n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n CBS News was unable to locate four of eight documents associated with Alvarez in the index. Of the documents that were present, one was a picture of Alvarez with Donald Trump, one was Alvarez's business card and two were photographs of large bags of cash. The four missing documents were listed as \"alvarez asset report,\" \"alvarez law enforcement report,\" \"alvarez contact card report\" and \"screenshot of [redacted] facebook.\" It's unclear from the documents why these photos were included in the case files. Massage scheduling communicationsOne of the most conspicuous absences is communication relating to the scheduling of massages in the years prior to Epstein's death.Epstein was known to have multiple massages each day, a practice that he used as a mechanism for recruiting and exploiting young women and girls. When authorities searched his Palm Beach residence in 2005, investigators found hundreds of messages from women and girls that they said referred to the scheduling of massage appointments. A few of the notes from the Epstein files about scheduling massages. \n \n U.S. Department of Justice / Names and phone numbers redacted by CBS News\n\n Yet the released archive contains little correspondence about how appointments were arranged after his release from jail in 2009.Signal messagesEpstein frequently encouraged associates to communicate using the encrypted messaging app Signal.No Signal messages have been included in the release; it is possible that investigators were unable to obtain them.Among those who apparently used Signal to communicate with Epstein were technology investor Peter Thiel and real estate investor Thomas Barrack. Barrack, a longtime friend of Mr. Trump, is now U.S. ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Iraq. Both Thiel and Barrack were involved in Mr. Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. They have not been accused of any wrongdoing in the Epstein case.Suspicious activity reportsSuspicious activity reports, which document millions of dollars in transactions made by Epstein that were flagged by financial institutions, were released, retracted and then re-released in an entirely redacted form. They originated from the Treasury Department but were used in the DOJ's investigation of Epstein's and Maxwell's crimes. At left, a suspicious activity report on Epstein's financial transactions. At right, the DOJ took the form down and then re-released it with the contents entirely redacted.\n \n U.S. Department of Justice\n\n Prison videos One document from the Epstein files revealed that the DOJ had footage from 147 cameras from the Metropolitan Correctional Center covering a 24-hour period before and after Epstein died, totaling over 8 terabytes of data. The internal documents indicate that the footage does not reveal anything significant \"since the cameras in the Special Housing Unit … were not active at the time.\" Even so, by law, those videos should have been released. Also missing are videos from July 23, 2019, the night Epstein apparently first tried to take his life. Lawsuits and hearings The independent journalist Katie Phang is currently suing the Department of Justice to force it to provide justifications for many of the redactions and release additional documents. According to former Attorney General Pam Bondi, her deputy and now Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche was responsible for handling the redaction and release of the Epstein files. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has requested that Blanche appear before the committee and answer questions about that process.

Hours later, Microsoft announced it would increase the prices of its Xbox consoles starting August 1. Both companies cite the rising cost of semiconductors used for storage and memory in electronic devices, including computers and video game consoles. The announcements come as the rapid expansion of AI data centers heightens demand for computing power, exacerbating a chip shortage. \"We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,\" Apple said in a statement shared with CBS News. \"We have shielded our customers from these increases so far, but we have now reached a point where we need to begin raising prices on several products, including today's increases for iPad and Mac.\"In its statement, Microsoft said console storage and memory prices have more than doubled and that it expects prices to double again by fall 2027.\"The entire consumer electronics industry is struggling with the current components crisis, but the effects are particularly hard on consoles,\" the company said.What Apple products are affected?The price hikes are impacting multiple Apple products, according to The Verge. The MacBook Neo, which Apple introduced earlier this year to appeal to budget-conscious customers at a starting price of $599, has increased to $699. Other changes include:MacBook Air 512GB: Now $1,299, up from $1,099MacBook Pro 1T: Now $1,999, up from $1699iPad Air 128GB: Now $749, up from $599The price hikes exclude the iPhone, according to Reuters. \"Apple hasn't announced what the iPhone price increases will be, but they are surely coming,\" Nabila Popal, senior director of data and analytics at International Data Corporation, a market intelligence and advisory firm, said in an email. \"The storm isn't over yet; this is just the beginning. iPhones are the biggest revenue driver for Apple, so they are saving that announcement for later.\"Apple shares tumbled after the company's announcement, falling $16.49, or 5.6%, to $276.68, in midafternoon trading.Which Microsoft products are affected?Microsoft is raising the price of Xbox gaming consoles with 512 GB of storage by $100 to nearly $500. Consoles with 1 TB of storage will increase by $150. Both hikes take effect August 1.The price hike comes after Microsoft increased Xbox prices by $20 to $70 last year.AI boom drives up chip costsChip shortages arose during the pandemic, when factory closures led to supply chain snags. Now, the race to build data centers required to power AI services is putting more pressure on the semiconductor industry.In December, research firm International Data Corporation said the memory market is at an \"unprecedented inflection point\" and predicted the chip shortage could last \"well into 2027.\"The shortage has had a knock-on effect on everyday tech, including personal computers, which are seeing higher prices for the first time in decades.In an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal on June 17, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is doing its best to shield customers from price hikes but said, \"the situation has become unsustainable.\"\"I've never seen anything like it in any area in over 40 years,\" he told the Journal.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/apple-price-hikes-macbook-ipad-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Mary Cunningham","publishDate":"2026-06-25T19:48:44.000Z","category":"library","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2F9f96f7c5-8e89-448e-9d8b-aa5c49811ac9%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe64c6c6251d4ba1efb5325dbf612af54%2Fgettyimages-2278325553.jpg","slug":"apple-and-microsoft-are-raising-their-prices-by-hundreds-of-dollars-as-chip-costs-soar"},{"id":"bmkro8","title":"DART bus drops into uncovered road hole after metal plate shifts, injuring 15","excerpt":"Fifteen passengers were hospitalized early Thursday after a DART bus dropped into a roadway hole on Harry Hines Boulevard when the metal construction plate covering the opening shifted, according to Dallas Fire‑Rescue.The incident happened just before 6 a.m. in the 6300 block of Harry Hines, near...","content":"Fifteen passengers were hospitalized early Thursday after a DART bus dropped into a roadway hole on Harry Hines Boulevard when the metal construction plate covering the opening shifted, according to Dallas Fire‑Rescue.The incident happened just before 6 a.m. in the 6300 block of Harry Hines, near Exchange Parkway, and officials said the bus \"ended up in a hole.\"Four patients were taken to Parkland Memorial Hospital, four to Baylor University Medical Center, and seven to Methodist Dallas Medical Center.

A late‑bloomer with major physical tools, he projects as an energetic developmental piece rather than a polished scorer.Also, on Wednesday, the Mavs acquired the draft rights to the 56th overall pick, Vsevolod Ishchenko, from the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for cash considerations. Ishchenko, 21, is 6‑foot‑8, 218 pounds and is a Russian forward who played for Lokomotiv Kuban, a club based in Krasnodar, Russia.The picks follow a busy Day 1 in which Dallas chose Michigan standout Morez Johnson Jr. at No. 9, reuniting him with new Mavericks head coach Dusty May after the pair helped deliver the Wolverines' first national title since 1989. Johnson started all 40 games last season, blossoming into a breakout sophomore after a limited freshman year at Illinois, and capped his rise with a double‑double in the championship game. He was the 2023-24 Gatorade Illinois Boys Basketball Player of the Year.Later in the first round, the Mavericks drafted Arizona forward Koa Peat at No. 30 before packaging him with two second‑round picks to acquire No. 25 selection Sergio De Larrea from the New York Knicks. The Knicks subsequently moved Peat to the Phoenix Suns for three second‑rounders.De Larrea, a 6‑foot‑6, 20‑year‑old Spanish guard, is regarded as one of Europe's most polished young playmakers. Developed through Valencia Basket's system, he built a reputation for size, vision, and efficient shooting while rising through the ACB and EuroLeague ranks.Leadership overhaul shapes directionThe draft comes amid a broader organizational reset. Days before the event, Dallas hired May – fresh off Michigan's national championship run – to lead a franchise undergoing a front‑office overhaul and shifting toward long‑term roster construction. The 49‑year‑old inherits a roster headlined by Flagg and a franchise eager to return to championship contention under a more development‑driven approach.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/mavericks-2026-draft-second-round-pick-dusty-may-rebuild/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Doug Myers","publishDate":"2026-06-25T20:47:08.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2Fcda407fe-3403-43c0-bc6e-fae2415927a5%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F464bea3082d6a90121b3c2bd795f5656%2Ftobi-lawal.png","slug":"mavericks-add-tobi-lawal-of-virginia-tech-with-the-no-48-pick-in-2026-nba-draft"},{"id":"eif4lf","title":"Austin serial killer Raul Meza facing new charge after CSAM found on his phone","excerpt":"Austin serial killer Raul Meza is facing a new felony charge after child sexual abuse material, or CSAM, was found on his phone.","content":"Austin serial killer Raul Meza is facing a new felony charge after child sexual abuse material, or CSAM, was found on his phone.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/austin-serial-killer-raul-meza-new-charge-csam","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T20:42:28.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F09%2Fraul-meza2.jpg","slug":"austin-serial-killer-raul-meza-facing-new-charge-after-csam-found-on-his-phone"},{"id":"wiv1vo","title":"17-year-old faces capital murder charges in two separate cases in Dallas, police say","excerpt":"A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with two separate Dallas murder cases, police confirmed Thursday.

Dallas then sent Peat and two second‑rounders to New York for No. 25 pick Sergio De Larrea, and the Knicks subsequently moved Peat to the Phoenix Suns for three second‑rounders, according to multiple reports.

Japan could finish first in Group F with a win on Thursday, depending on how the match between the Netherlands and Tunisia plays out.A draw would clinch Japan a spot in the knockout stage with 5 points in group play, with the possibility of winning the group or finishing second. Japan is still virtually guaranteed to advance to the knockout stage with a loss, which would likely leave them in third place in the group.What's at stake for SwedenThursday's game will be the first at Dallas Stadium for Sweden but they are familiar with North Texas, having their base camp in Frisco at Toyota Stadium.With a victory on Thursday, Sweden would win Group F if Tunisia upsets the Netherlands; otherwise Sweden would finish in second place.Sweden is guaranteed to advance as a third-place finisher with a draw.

Cafaro on Federal Election Commission filings. Cafaro has donated to several GOP candidates and conservative causes in recent years. He has donated extensively to Mr. Trump's campaign and to Trump-linked groups, giving $250,000 to the Trump Victory fundraising committee at one point in 2020. FEC records show he also made donations to Democrats at various points. J.J. Cafaro leaves U.S. District Court in Cleveland on March 19, 2002, after testifying for the government in the trial against Rep. James Traficant.\n \n AP Photo/Tony Dejak\n\n A businessman and real estate developer, Cafaro pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations in 2010 over donations to his daughter's congressional campaign. Nearly a decade earlier, he pleaded guilty to conspiring to bribe Democratic Rep. James Traficant, and cooperated with prosecutors.Cafaro and his wife own a home in Palm Beach, Florida, less than a mile from the president's Mar-a-Lago resort.Green Water Solutions is also known as Greenwater Services. Inquiries to Cafaro did not yield a response, and the company referred CBS News to the National Park Service, a division of the Department of the Interior. The New York Times was first to report on Cafaro's involvement in the Reflecting Pool project.In a statement on Saturday, Greenwater Services said its patented \"NanoBubble Ozone Technology\" is an \"environmentally conscious, science-based treatment process designed for water remediation in sensitive environments\" but offered no specific insight into the problems at the Reflecting Pool.\"This approach is particularly well-suited for natural or public environments because the byproduct is oxygen,\" the statement said.On its website, Green Water Solutions describes its specialty as purifying water to remove algae, bacteria and other contaminants using a system that injects ozone-infused \"nano bubbles\" into the water.Federal contracting records show that the company received one other government contract: a $1 million contract in 2025 for a feasibility study on using its Nano Bubble system to treat sewage flows in the Tijuana River. Green Water Solutions also appeared to do work on a Trump Organization property. On its LinkedIn page, the company posted photos of water treatment work it performed on a pond at the president's golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, more than a year ago. Now, Green Water Solutions has been hired to take on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, a century-old basin of shallow water that spans more than 300,000 square feet and has struggled with algae blooms for years. Mr. Trump has taken a personal interest in the Reflecting Pool's overhaul, discussing the project at length, visiting the site and handpicking the color of an industrial-grade sealant that was installed on the pool's stone floor: \"American Flag Blue.\"Green Water Solutions was hired in April by the Department of the Interior to install a Nano Bubble system at the Reflecting Pool, replacing \"the existing, failing filtration infrastructure.\"The contract was awarded without a full competitive bidding process. The government cited a contracting rule designed for projects of \"unusual and compelling urgency,\" pointing to the need to fix the Reflecting Pool in time for the nation's 250th birthday on July 4. It also called the Nano Bubble system a \"highly specialized and niche technology with limited domestic suppliers.\"White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers rebuffed any suggestion of a conflict of interest.\"This contract was awarded by the Department of Interior; the White House did not play any role in the selection process,\" Rogers said. CBS News has reached out to the Interior Department for comment.Cafaro on Friday told The Vindicator, a local newspaper in Youngstown, Ohio, that Mr. Trump \"doesn't know a thing about\" his company's work with the Reflecting Pool, saying he would \"never talk to [the president] about it\" because \"you don't do things to put friends in awkward positions.\"Cafaro also said, \"I have no idea why this is an issue,\" arguing \"the system is working\" to kill algae, and the public attention is driven by \"people who don't seem to like Trump.\"A separate $14.7 million no-bid contract was given to Virginia-based Atlantic Industrial Coatings to install sealant on the floor of the Reflecting Pool, federal contracting records show.In a statement to CBS News dated Sunday, Atlantic Industrial Coatings said that, in conjunction with the Park Service, it \"has identified some areas in the Reflecting Pool that require repairs. These areas are a very small part of the massive 7 acre project, and do not indicate a failure of the liner.\" \"These repairs can not be made until the pool is drained,\" the company said in its statement. \"As soon as its feasible for the Park, the pool will be drained and AIC will be back to make those needed repairs as part of the warranty.\"Several days ago, after water was pumped back into the Reflecting Pool, issues began to arise. A sheen of algae appeared in the water earlier this week, and by Thursday, the newly installed pool surface appeared to peel off in at least one location.An Interior Department spokesperson said the algae bloom was caused by \"residual algae\" from stagnant water that sat in the pool's supply lines, calling it \"part of the normal startup process.\" The department later said on X the Nano Bubble system \"very effectively killed the algae.\" CBS News has reached out to the department about the peeling sealant.Work crews were then seen cleaning out algae and pouring hydrogen peroxide into the water. Also spotted in recent days: a Nano Bubble system.A white plume of \"ozone nano bubbles\" is put into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as it is cleaned of algae on June 16.\n \n AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/company-trump-donor-cafaro-reflecting-pool-no-bid-contract/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Arden Farhi","publishDate":"2026-06-22T21:05:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2F4d220d62-ad7f-4cf8-8709-cb06a3e1c718%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fbda33d4676a1fcd3cd8c46b11cff8514%2Fap26167638828132.jpg","slug":"company-owned-by-trump-donor-won-17-million-no-bid-reflecting-pool-cleaning-contract"},{"id":"npq8o2","title":"Japan to face Sweden in the FIFA World Cup at Dallas Stadium","excerpt":"Japan and Sweden will face off in their final match of the group stage.

One of his alleged co-conspirators is Nika Machutadze, who was arrested earlier this year in Texas.Prosecutors allege that Machutadze and Hilmi, as part of a larger criminal network, acquired a legitimate Florida medical supply business and then used it to fraudulently bill insurers. According to court records, they allegedly changed ownership names on paperwork to conceal who was actually running the operations.Hilmi's arrest followed months of reporting by the CBS News Texas I-Team, which exposed an Austin-area medical supply company tied to the criminal network.Investigators said Centurion Superior Medical began submitting large batches of claims in late September 2025, shortly after Machutadze became the company's listed owner. In just over a month, the company submitted claims for 78,663 items, mostly intermittent urinary catheters.In January, when the I-Team visited Centurion's Austin office, employees said they had no knowledge of fraudulent activity. Large stacks of medical records and mail filled the small office.A few weeks later, the I-Team returned to find those same employees placing what appeared to be medical records into large plastic trash bags.Investigators believe the broader operation submitted more than $3 billion in fraudulent claims, making it one of the largest healthcare fraud schemes ever prosecuted.Authorities allege the group moved money rapidly through U.S. bank accounts before wiring funds overseas in an effort to conceal the proceeds.Machutadze was arrested in January in Austin apartment. According to court records, investigators believe he was trying to leave the country.Hilmi, however, fled the United States but was later arrested.His arrest was part of a broader nationwide crackdown announced by the Department of Justice targeting healthcare fraud.

Ron Wyden and 14 Democratic co-sponsors plan to introduce legislation today to cap consumers' potential out-of-pocket costs in traditional Medicare, resurfacing a long-running debate over why the program doesn't limit beneficiary spending.Even the bill's backers say securing passage this year is a long shot. But the effort is one more opportunity for Democrats to highlight voters' frustration about healthcare costs leading into the November election.Polls show Americans are very concerned about affordability, with a recent Gallup survey finding fewer than half of Americans say they can consistently afford healthcare.Wyden's bill would focus on what many consider a critical pocketbook issue in traditional Medicare: There's no limit on what a beneficiary could pay in cost sharing.\"Everyone else in the health insurance neighborhood has one — employer coverage, the Affordable Care Act, all of them have a cap,\" the Oregon Democrat told KFF Health News. \"There's no good, common-sense reason why the flagship health program doesn't have the same protection.\"Critics of a cap, meanwhile, are likely to pounce on the cost to the federal budget, which could be significant.Wyden, already making the battle lines clear, added, \"I suspect it will come up on the floor of the Senate that Democrats want to give a fair shake to people on traditional Medicare and Republicans want to help billionaires.\"Policy, political dynamics at workThe underlying issue is the 20% share of Medicare costs that enrollees have to pay for medical services after they've met any deductibles. Without a ceiling or upper limit, an expensive condition such as cancer or a long hospital stay could result in beneficiaries paying thousands of dollars in costs.That concern leads about 43% of people enrolled in traditional Medicare to purchase separate insurance, often called Medigap. (Others get such coverage through job-based retiree plans.)Medigap insurance plans have seen rapid premium increases and can cost thousands of dollars a year, especially for couples. That price tag can be unaffordable for some beneficiaries, who may instead turn to private-sector Medicare Advantage plans offered by commercial insurers, or go without.The Wyden proposal would set a $5,000 cap in traditional Medicare. Any amounts paid by a Medigap plan or a retiree health plan toward beneficiaries' care would count toward that cap. It also includes other provisions to help older people with lower incomes, including eliminating an asset test to qualify for special programs that help reduce costs.Medicare would pick up any amounts over that $5,000 limit, which is lower than the one Congress set for the rival Advantage plans — currently $9,250, although insurers can set smaller amounts.Setting a cap in the traditional program, proponents argue, would help level the playing field between traditional Medicare and Advantage plans, which often cost consumers far less than traditional Medicare with a Medigap supplement. Premiums for these policies would probably be lower, they say, because the insurers' financial exposure would be limited.The Medicare Advantage program has historically had strong support from Republicans, who like its private-sector aspect and note that it can potentially do more to control costs, such as by using specific networks of doctors and hospitals, or requiring preapproval for some services, which the traditional program cannot do.The plans also offer enrollees additional benefits, such as eyeglasses, hearing aids, and prescription drug coverage, and have now attracted more than half of all Medicare enrollees.Along with that growth, however, has also come increased scrutiny over concerns about denials of patient services and the challenges some consumers face if they want to switch back to the traditional program. Recently, some health systems have dropped out of Medicare Advantage contracts, citing concerns about tardy payments or prior authorization requirements, while insurers are also scaling back where they offer Advantage coverage.The bill has not yet been analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office, so there is no official estimate of increased costs to taxpayers for Medicare. Still, it would raise those costs — at a time when other health programs are being cut, the Medicare trust fund is scheduled to start falling short of funding in 2033, and the nation's debt is growing.That is likely to draw sharp rebukes from fiscal hawks and other conservatives who question whether billions in tax dollars should be used to pick up costs that would otherwise be paid by enrollees or by the supplemental insurance plans many purchase to do so. They are likely to note that beneficiaries could also choose to join private sector Advantage plans, which eliminate the need for supplementary insurance coverage such as Medigap.Key questions: Who benefits? Who pays?A cap's cost to taxpayers, while not officially scored yet, is likely to be significant, although adding one could also save individual consumers money. A recent study from Brown University gives some clues.A $5,000 cap could save enrollees an average of about $1,200 a year, the study says, both in direct savings and reductions in their Medigap supplemental premiums. Just over 11% of traditional Medicare beneficiaries, about 3.2 million, would directly benefit from such a cap if it was implemented in 2028, said the study, which did not receive outside funding.Over the next 10 years, it estimates, just over 52% of all traditional beneficiaries would exceed the $5,000 cap at least once.Still, lead author Andrew Ryan, a professor at Brown's School of Public Health, said analysts estimated such a cap \"could cost over $50 billion annually, which is a lot of money\" to add to the federal balance sheet.Critics are likely to focus on the cap's expense and the number of people who might benefit.\"How many people are hitting a level of cost they can't afford on Medicare? \"asked Jackson Hammond, a senior policy analyst with the Paragon Health Institute, a conservative think tank influential with the GOP.Any cap \"is generally going to increase expenses for the program without adding a lot of benefits to enrollees,\" said Hammond, who spoke with KFF Health News before the legislation was introduced.Supporters, though, have a different view.Certainly, with \"any policy that's going to cost money, there will be an argument over where the money is coming from,\" said Brian Keyser, a research associate at the liberal Center for American Progress who also spoke with KFF Health News before the Wyden measure was introduced.Keyser co-authored a Medicare paper that suggested lawmakers could pay for changes in traditional Medicare, such as an out-of-pocket cap, if they reduced the amount the government pays Medicare Advantage insurers, pointing to government estimates that Advantage would cost the government $76 billion more this year than if the same number of people were in the traditional program.Finding a way to add a cap \"is right and fair because without it, people who become seriously ill can spend their life savings on cost-sharing Medicare,\" Keyser said.Such an idea, however, has been in discussion on and off for years. Knowing that, the bill's backers acknowledge that passage is unlikely — but they say they're playing the long game for now.\"We're going to push for it in the next Congress, when we believe we will be in the majority,\" Wyden said.KFF Health News is a national newsroom that produces in-depth journalism about health issues and is one of the core operating programs at KFF — the independent source for health policy research, polling, and journalism.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/democrats-medicare-costs-out-of-pocket/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-25T09:00:16.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2025%2F08%2F28%2F14034ecb-b519-4f59-b51e-686950e4282a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fbcf28bf4302fd75a2907b6356511550c%2Fgettyimages-1045811444.jpg","slug":"democrats-to-propose-bill-capping-out-of-pocket-medicare-costs-for-enrollees"},{"id":"cn410y","title":"After years battling Plano officials, an 81-year-old widow gets a fresh start — and a birthday celebration","excerpt":"Rita Rae has a lot to celebrate.

She has resolved code‑enforcement issues that once threatened criminal violations and a potential lien on her home of 54 years.\"There are things about the house I miss, but it was time to move on. It's time to get away from the harassment of the city,\" said Rae, who asked CBS News Texas not to use her last name.Rae and the city of Plano had been battling over code infractions since June 2024. Plano said Rae's home was never in danger of a lien, but officials said they needed her to address health and safety standards.\"And you have neighbors who are complaining, and there's concerns about rodents and overgrowth on a property, and there are other security issues that are involved, we have to get involved at some point,\" Curtis Howard said.Plano police home entry raises new concernsHoward said Plano dropped its pursuit because Rae sold her home, calling it the turning point in the case. Before that, he said, contact with the 80‑year‑old woman was limited but sufficient to determine she was of sound mind.Search warrants obtained by CBS News Texas show Plano police entered the home through an unsecured door while Rae was sleeping. She woke up to officers inside, her attorney said.An arrest affidavit said officers found water leaking from the bathroom ceiling onto the floor and black growth on interior surfaces in the bathroom, living room and hallway. Investigators also reported overgrown grass, structural damage to the roof and garage, and plumbing in need of major repair.\"I had no money, and they just kept calling me and saying, fix this, fix that,\" Rae said. \"And I was getting estimates from people, and those estimates, like on plumbing, $35,000 to $45,000, and I was having trouble getting help, getting groceries.\"Community members step in to assistWith her permission, Rae's medical transport driver posted her challenges on Nextdoor, a social networking app designed specifically for neighborhoods. Retired attorney Andy Trusevich responded and took her case pro bono.\"I do not believe a jury would've convicted Rita of any criminal charges,\" Trusevich said. \"And if they did convict her of any criminal charges – property code violations, they would've either put in zero or a dollar, and Plano would've had more egg on their face than they already do.\"Trusevich criticized city officials, saying he accomplished more with Rae in weeks than Plano did in two years.\"We just sat her down, said, here's the realities of things. What would you like to do? And she made her own decisions,\" he said.Sale of longtime home brings closureRae sold her nearly 1,500‑square‑foot home with help from Trusevich's team: Donna Wilkerson and Gregory Knoop. She said it was time to move on from a place she could no longer afford on a fixed income.

However, late Wednesday night, council members finalized plans, rejecting a proposal that would've raised the building's height and delayed the opening date. More than 80 residents signed up to speak on the matter ahead of the city council's vote. Construction at the convention center started last summer. Last month, the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee recommended raising the convention center back to its original height in response to concerns that the latest design would cut off access to the Jefferson Viaduct, affecting drivers coming from Oak Cliff.\"Since the convention center closed, Dallas has lost $92 million in convention lodging and $13 million in taxes,\" said Craig Davis, with Visit Dallas. \"I'm simply asking Dallas to deliver on time by continuing negotiations and not ceasing construction of the convention center.\" In a memo last week, Dallas city manager Kimberly Bizor Tolbert told city council members that reverting to the original height would cost taxpayers nearly $600 million and push the project's expected completion from 2029 to 2030 or later.\"If this project is delayed or stopped, it will cause irreparable harm to this city, constituents and the asset you own,\" said Kurt Alexander, with OMNI.The The Dallas City Council said it will not stop or restart work to rebuild the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center after a motion was put on the table to reject the proposed changes to the current construction. The city said there are no changes to the viaduct, just a re-ramp into downtown. Redesign proposal rejected Council members rejected the redesign proposal on Wednesday night and directed city staff to advance the project on its current design without any further delay. The decision means the redeveloped convention center is now expected to be done in 2030, and roadway improvements will be made to help enhance access between downtown, Oak Cliff and Southern Dallas, the council said. In a statement, City Manager Kim Tolbert said, \"We are committed to getting the connection right, and to doing it with the community, not around it. Moving forward on the convention center does not slow that work. It lets both move at once.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/kay-bailey-hutchison-convention-center-dallas-construction-oak-cliff-viaduct/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"S.E.

The lawsuit filed Wednesday claims the social media company has refused to disable dangerous features in its app or warn parents about potential harms it may cause. According to the lawsuit, the girl, referred to by the initials J.F., began using Snapchat in 2021 when she was 11 without her parents' knowledge. While the app requires users to be 13 to sign up, the lawsuit says the girl does not remember what birth date she entered and that children knew they could easily bypass the minimum-age requirement. About a year after she began using Snapchat, the lawsuit says the app recommended her and teen girls from nearby high schools as friends to defendant Gabriel Joel Valentin-Rios, an adult who had no real-life connections to them. It did not warn the children that connecting to strangers might be dangerous. After the girl and Valentin-Rios connected, Valentin-Rios began sending her unsolicited nude photographs, the lawsuit says. \"J.F. did not want these photographs and, at first, did not reciprocate but Snapchat's product design made it impossible for J.F. to avoid such explicit content,\" it says. As part of its Snap Maps feature, the app also provided Valentin-Rios with the girl's home address without her knowledge, according to the lawsuit. Valentin-Rios then groomed the girl, convincing her that he was a 17-year-old local high school boy, not a 25-year-old man. Eventually, he got her to meet him in person and raped her. Valentin-Rios pleaded guilty to statutory rape and is currently serving an 18-year prison sentence in Missouri. The lawsuit claims Snapchat knew that Valentin-Rios had multiple accounts - even though it is against the app's policies - including one he used to lure teen girls. Snap did not immediately respond to a message for comment Wednesday afternoon. J.F. has been diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety and depression, according to the lawsuit. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages and are asking the court to compel Snap to stop practices that harm children. \"This assault did not happen in a vacuum - it happened because Snapchat's product design made it easy for a predator to reach and manipulate an unsuspecting child,\" said Matthew Bergman, founder of the Social Media Victims Law Center, which brought the suit on behalf of the plaintiffs. \"Snap executives have long known that their features create a perfect environment for predators to exploit children, yet they have repeatedly failed to make the platform safe.\" This isn't the first such lawsuit against Snap. New Mexico sued the company in 2024, saying the platform's design features foster sextortion, sexual abuse and unwanted contact from adults to minors.According to the lawsuit, Snap was well aware, but failed to warn parents, young users and the public that \"sextortion was a rampant, 'massive,' and 'incredibly concerning issue' on Snapchat.\"Sextortion is a crime that involves a person pretending to be a peer coercing minors to send explicit images or videos of themselves, then threatening to distribute the material unless they are paid. The scam has resulted in numerous teen suicides, New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez stated in a news release. A judge denied the company's motion to dismiss last year. There are also individual lawsuits pending against the company, including one in Vermont on behalf of two 12-year-old girls who were sexually assaulted by an adult they met on Snapchat.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/snap-sued-rape-minor-adult-attacker-snapchat/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:45:17.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2025%2F04%2F22%2F0536ad98-134d-4590-909f-d3116a368dbf%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fc0036ddf46582cf469a95f3f41c3d3c1%2Fgettyimages-2195918650.jpg","slug":"snap-sued-over-rape-of-minor-who-met-adult-attacker-via-snapchat"},{"id":"54ngf1","title":"Military requiring flu vaccines for recruits as Air Force base deals with outbreak","excerpt":"All branches of the U.S. military began once again requiring their recruits to get flu vaccines earlier this month, an exception to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's decision to lift the military's vaccine mandate, a Pentagon official confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday.

The news comes as Lackland Air Force Base in Texas — home to the Air Force's Basic Military Training program — grapples with a flu outbreak that has infected 275 people in recent weeks, a congressional staffer with knowledge of the matter told CBS News. The process of reinstating the mandate for recruits began before the Lackland outbreak was publicly acknowledged.The unit at Lackland has implemented mitigation measures, is monitoring trainees who may have been exposed and is treating symptomatic trainees with antiviral medications such as Tamiflu, an Air Force spokesperson told CBS News last week.Hegseth announced in late April that he was making the annual flu vaccine voluntary for service members \"effective immediately.\" In a video posted to social media, Hegseth said requiring people to get vaccinated was \"overly broad and not rational.\" By early May, all military departments had formally requested exemptions that allow them to keep requiring flu vaccinations for certain service members, and those exemptions were granted in early June, according to the congressional staffer. The exemptions typically apply to vulnerable populations like people who live in communal environments, healthcare workers and other categories, the staffer said.Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement last week that exceptions to the voluntary flu vaccine policy had been issued following a \"comprehensive review.\"\"The decisions were based upon thorough risk assessments and are designed to maximize operational readiness, lethality, and force generation, while safeguarding at-risk populations,\" Parnell said. \"The Department remains committed to the health and readiness of our warfighters and civilian personnel.\"Asked for comment Wednesday, the Pentagon referred CBS News to Parnell's earlier statement.The flu vaccine was first mandated for troops in 1945, leading to millions of vaccinations, according to a 2022 analysis of vaccine mandates in the military. The requirement was lifted in 1949 but reinstated in the 1950s, and flu vaccines remained mandatory until Hegseth's order.The Pentagon has long required personnel to get vaccinated against a range of diseases from hepatitis B to measles, mumps and rubella. Military vaccination programs date back to Gen. George Washington's leadership of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, a 2021 Congressional Research Service report notes.The Biden administration also required service members to receive COVID-19 vaccines, leading thousands of people who declined to get vaccinated to voluntarily or involuntarily leave the military. That mandate was lifted in 2023, and last year, President Trump authorized service members who refused the COVID-19 vaccine to be reinstated.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/military-flu-vaccine-recruits-hegseth-lackland-outbreak/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Eleanor Watson","publishDate":"2026-06-25T01:22:17.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2F11bfe6f2-be44-472f-ac56-84e72559eea1%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4dfc39a2a4e31e453efb9d344925a8ff%2F8452993.jpg","slug":"military-requiring-flu-vaccines-for-recruits-as-air-force-base-deals-with-outbreak"},{"id":"1l66ib","title":"Police: Texas woman shot, stabbed, and dismembered partner before dumping remains","excerpt":"A 31-year-old woman has confessed to violently killing and dismembering a man with whom she lived, following an anonymous tip that led detectives to a Texas landfill, police said Thursday.","content":"A 31-year-old woman has confessed to violently killing and dismembering a man with whom she lived, following an anonymous tip that led detectives to a Texas landfill, police said Thursday.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/san-angelo-murder-audrey-troncoso-matthew-sheppard","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-06-25T19:12:26.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Faudrey-troncoso.jpg","slug":"police-texas-woman-shot-stabbed-and-dismembered-partner-before-dumping-remains"},{"id":"7ngk1e","title":"Child killed, several injured in overnight house fire in Fort Worth, officials say","excerpt":"FWFD told CBS News Texas that two victims were outside the home when fire crews arrived, and four had to be rescued.","content":"FWFD told CBS News Texas that two victims were outside the home when fire crews arrived, and four had to be rescued.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/child-killed-several-injured-in-overnight-house-fire-in-fort-worth-officials-say/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-25T10:41:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F25%2Fcdf42cbe-19c0-42eb-971f-c818e7febf9d%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ffbaf008e2180d5cefdd249a66a7d389a%2Fa5dc46596e4d0dfcd41822cbd7c883d7.jpg","slug":"child-killed-several-injured-in-overnight-house-fire-in-fort-worth-officials-say"},{"id":"gz2uk3","title":"Mexico beats Czech Republic 3-0, completes perfect World Cup group stage","excerpt":"Mateo Chávez and Julián Quiñones scored goals in a six-minute span early in the second half, and Mexico beat the Czech Republic 3-0 on Wednesday night to win all three of its World Cup group-stage matches for the first time.The 22-year-old Chávez, in his first World Cu...","content":"Mateo Chávez and Julián Quiñones scored goals in a six-minute span early in the second half, and Mexico beat the Czech Republic 3-0 on Wednesday night to win all three of its World Cup group-stage matches for the first time.The 22-year-old Chávez, in his first World Cup, opened the scoring in the 55th minute and Quiñones scored his second goal of the tournament in the 61st.

One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived. Eight people previously found guilty of terrorism-related charges were sentenced on Tuesday for the 2025 attack. One member of the group, identified as the group's leader, was sentenced to a century in prison. Prairieland detention facility: July 4, 2025It began with a 911 call to Alvarado police from a woman working the front desk at the Prairieland facility, reporting \"I don't know what's going on outside,\" and that a \"Lieutenant told us to call.\" The woman commented on the fireworks going off and later said, \"Someone is trying to get in.\"Surveillance video released after Prairieland group sentencedThe video released includes fireworks caught by surveillance cameras at the detention facility and police bodycam video showing demonstrators detained on the ground, getting questioned, and then later, arrested.The most intense video is the moment Alvarado Police Lt.Thomas Gross was shot. The officer's own body camera captures the gunfire.Gross said the bullet went through his shoulder within seconds of arriving at the ICE facility late that July 4th night.Then, body camera footage from other law enforcement officers records a conversation with Gross in which they ask if he's okay. \"Who's shot? We had an officer hit. 18-20, we have an officer who's been hit – who's hit?\"\"I am,\" Gross is heard answering. \"You good?\" another officer asks. \"No, I'm f-----g hit,\" Gross responds. \"My back.\" \"Your back?\" Another officer says. \"He's shot in the back and the neck. Yeah, I got him... Hey, you're good, you're good, you're good. Where did they go? \"They ran off that way,\" Gross said. \"They ran off that way.\"There are also videos of officers processing weapons and other evidence from the scene that night.

People's own lack of familiarity with data centers contributes to their unease about having one in their local area. While people tend not to favor them no matter how much they feel they know, the less they feel they know about data centers, the less likely they are to favor one.Overall, by more than two to one, more Americans oppose than favor having a new data center built in their area. Many aren't sure.The relatively few — 16% — who feel they know \"a lot\" see some potential upsides of having one locally, but more of them still oppose one than support one in their local area, anyway. (Those who report knowing \"nothing\" about data centers are mostly unsure about having one in their area.)The country is generally divided on whether more data centers are necessary for the U.S. to remain competitive in the fields of technology and AI. Those who would favor a new data center in their area overwhelmingly think they are necessary for the U.S. to compete with other countries. More Republicans than Democrats think data centers are needed for competitiveness, but many of them, like Democrats, aren't sold on having one in the area where they live. Overall, majorities believe data centers are mostly bad for the environment, for resources like water and electricity, and for people's energy or utility costs in the areas where they are built. On a more positive note, slightly more Americans think the building of data centers is good, rather than bad, for both the local economy and for tax revenue. People who anticipate these benefits are more inclined to favor than oppose a data center in their area. And on jobs specifically, half of Americans see data centers as boosting the number of jobs where they are built in the short term, but far fewer think that will be true in the long term.On these questions about potential local impacts, sizable percentages say they are \"not sure\" — underscoring that these matters surrounding data centers are not yet familiar to many Americans.This CBS News/YouGov survey was conducted with a nationally representative sample of 2,023 U.S. adults interviewed between June 2-4, 2026. The sample was weighted to be representative of adults nationwide according to gender, age, race, and education, based on the U.S. Census American Community Survey and Current Population Survey, as well as 2024 presidential vote. The margin of error is ±2.8 points.Toplines:","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/americans-data-centers-in-their-area-opinion-poll/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jennifer De Pinto","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:48:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F24%2F69a83088-8612-4354-9d7b-1356545219ce%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F48f7b371982cc2332fdea62a51f7e2cb%2Fgettyimages-2271400054.jpg","slug":"more-oppose-than-favor-data-centers-in-their-area-but-few-admit-knowing-a-lot-about-them-cbs-news-po"},{"id":"itizx7","title":"USDA reports screwworm spread in Texas","excerpt":"The USDA now confirms 20 cases of the New World screwworm in Texas, with the most recent reported outside Medina County, and four more cases reported Tuesday in Terrell County.

One member of the group, identified as the group's leader, was sentenced to a century in prison.The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas said on Monday that sentencing for the defendants would happen Tuesday morning. The verdicts, handed down in March, came as the defendants stood accused in the July 4, 2025, plot targeting the Prairieland ICE detention center following weeks of testimony from investigators, law enforcement and cooperating witnesses.Benjamin Song was hit with the longest prison sentence: 100 years behind bars. Maricela Rueda was sentenced to 70 years in prison. Autumn Hill was sentenced to 50 years, along with Zachary Evetts, Savanna Batten, Meagan Morris, and Elizabeth Soto. Daniel Rolando Sanchez-Estrada was sentenced to 30 years in prison.Prosecutors said that the group launched a premeditated terror attack on the detention facility inspired by antifa ideology, by setting off fireworks, vandalizing property, and shooting at police officers who responded. One officer was struck in the neck with a bullet and survived.In September 2025, the Trump administration designated antifa as a domestic terror group. However, the designation did not create new criminal charges. Instead, it directed federal agencies to focus more resources on investigating antifa-related activity.Critics of the move argued that antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an ideology, not an actual group with an organized leadership structure and membership. Subscribing to a specific ideology, they say, is not a crime.There were nine defendants who went to trial and faced a total of 65 charges that included attempted murder, aiding terrorists, and weapons charges. Those who supported the defendants called the charges outrageous, saying the defendants were there protesting ICE and that the government had gone overboard to send a message.The nine defendants found guilty at trial included:Autumn Hill (formerly Cameron Arnold)Zachary EvettsBenjamin SongSavanna BattenMeagan Morris (formerly Bradford Morris)Maricela RuedaElizabeth SotoInes SotoDaniel Rolando Sanchez-EstradaProsecutors said Morris, Rueda, Song, Arnold, Evetts, Batten, Sanchez-Estrada, and Elizabeth Soto were sentenced on Tuesday. Ines Soto is set to be sentenced on July 1.Seven additional defendants pleaded guilty to a single count of providing material support to terrorists, and each faces up to 15 years in federal prison.What happened at the trialThe trial featured testimony from investigators, law enforcement officers, and several cooperating witnesses.Prosecutors showed surveillance footage of fireworks along the facility's tree line and evidence gathered after police arrived, including weapons, tactical gear, and vandalized vehicles.Witnesses described how protesters set off fireworks, spray-painted cars, and fled when officers responded, while one cooperating witness testified that Benjamin Song later admitted to shooting an officer.Investigators also traced the defendants' phone locations and presented seized items from their homes. Testimony also detailed meetings, group chats, and efforts to help Song evade capture after the shooting.Defense attorneys challenged the credibility of cooperating witnesses, questioned the use of terms like \"tactical,\" and argued the group had gathered to protest rather than carry out a coordinated attack. None of the defense attorneys chose to present their own cases, feeling that the government did not prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.Reaction after the verdictsAlvarado Police Chief Teddy May welcomed the guilty verdicts, noting that Lt. Gross, the officer shot in the neck during the attack, has fully recovered. May said the outcome reflects the consequences of the choices made that night.\"It's unfortunate for Mr. (Benjamin) Song,\" he said. \"He made some poor decisions, and it seems like he's now going to have to be paying his debt to society.\"He also agreed with prosecutors that the defendants could not have reasonably believed they were attending a peaceful protest.\"I don't believe any reasonable person could believe the suspects didn't know what they were doing,\" May said.He said the convictions bring closure for the injured officer, his family, and the department. May said officers were doing their jobs when they came under fire and thanked investigators and prosecutors for their work. He said the verdict reinforces their faith in the justice system and that the department remains focused on supporting officers and serving the community.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/ice-detention-attack-defendants-sentencing-6-23-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Matthew Ablon","publishDate":"2026-06-25T01:24:06.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F02%2F23%2F47c11553-ff17-4d4a-b666-3f7609f574ce%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F859c2662c4d69a10728563b11df41855%2F618acb93-5c96-456c-ae76-6b0758cc157a.png","slug":"leader-of-group-convicted-in-antifa-inspired-attack-on-texas-ice-facility-handed-100-year-prison-sen"},{"id":"l2noal","title":"Texas DPS trooper killed in Panhandle crash honored at memorial service","excerpt":"Hundreds gathered Wednesday to honor a Texas state trooper killed in a crash in the Panhandle last week.Sergio Romero\n \n Texas DPS\n\n At Childress High School, state leaders and grieving family members remembered the service of Sergio Romero, a 27...","content":"Hundreds gathered Wednesday to honor a Texas state trooper killed in a crash in the Panhandle last week.Sergio Romero\n \n Texas DPS\n\n At Childress High School, state leaders and grieving family members remembered the service of Sergio Romero, a 27‑year‑old father of two who became the 244th Texas Department of Public Safety officer to die in the line of duty since 1823.Romero died last Wednesday after a semi‑truck pulled in front of him as he attempted a traffic stop on U.S. 287 in Childress County, DPS said.His wife, Francisca, and their two young sons were surrounded by relatives, friends, and colleagues during the ceremony.State leaders pay respects\n \n Texas DPS\n\n According to a news release, those attending the service included state Sen.

She had earlier put the death toll from the Wednesday night quakes at 32, but said it was expected to rise as rescuers searched collapsed buildings and emergency crews worked to access devastated areas. Communities across the South American country sustained damage.The U.S. Geological Survey said the temblors had magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5. The agency's predictive modeling indicated the quakes could have killed thousands of people, with a 42% chance of at least 10,000 fatalities, though that is based on historical averages and does not take into account many factors specific to this event. La Guaria, on the nation's northern coast, apparently was the hardest hit state, Rodriguez said. \"Dozens of buildings have collapsed and we are engaged in the arduous task of rescuing the lives that God allows us to save. The state of La Guaira is facing a true tragedy and has become a disaster zone,\" she said.Rescue workers and municipal police officers work at the site of a collapsed building following an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela on June 24, 2026. \n \n Manaure QUINTERO /AFP via Getty Images\n\n The earthquakes, among the strongest to strike Venezuela in more than a century, roiled the region, with buildings evacuated in cities and areas impacted as far as Brazil's Amazon about 1,050 miles from Venezuela's capital of Caracas.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media early Thursday that, at President Trump's direction, the U.S. is deploying search teams, medical resources and humanitarian aid to Venezuela.Rubio spoke with Rodriguez and offered the full assistance of the U.S., a State Department official told CBS News, adding that those efforts were already underway. Rodriguez later confirmed the call in a social media post.Earlier, Mr. Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform that, \"The two major earthquakes that just hit the great people of Venezuela are both massive in scale and have left a devastating number of deaths. The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends. Early reports are not good!\"Jeremy P. Lewin, the U.S. undersecretary of state for foreign assistance, said the State Department had mobilized a disaster assistance team and task force to coordinate the aid in coordination with the interim Venezuelan government.Offers of help came from governments including those of Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, China, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama and Uruguay. In a brief address to the nation late Wednesday, Rodriguez declared a state of emergency.The quakes damaged the country's main airport, Simón Bolívar International Airport, severely enough to lead to its closure, she said, adding that classes at the nation's schools were being canceled for several days.Rescuers search for victims in a collapsed building following earthquakes in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026. \n \n Manaure Quintero /AFP via Getty Images\n\n \"We urge our population to remain calm,\" Rodríguez said. \"We urge unity.\"Rodríguez also asked all health care professionals in the country to report to hospitals to assist anyone who was injured. The Ministry of Education late Wednesday said some schools would be used as shelters and donation centers.In the coastal state of Falcon, Gov. Víctor Clark said 32 people had been hospitalized and more than four hours after the earthquake there were still 15 people trapped.The first earthquake was centered 17.6 miles northwest of the town of Montalbán, the USGS said, and struck at a depth of 8.2 miles. It was preliminarily reported as a 7.1 magnitude quake before being upgraded to a 7.2. Less than one minute later, a second earthquake measuring at a magnitude of 7.5 struck just north of the first. It was centered about 21 miles northwest of Montalbán. \"This earthquake was the second event in a doublet, this magnitude 7.5 mainshock was preceded just 39 seconds before by a 7.2 foreshock,\" the USGS said.The quakes briefly triggered tsunami advisories in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, per the National Weather Service's U.S. Tsunami Warning System. Those advisories were later canceled. People remained on the streets of Caracas for hours, even after sunset. Some sat on the ground hugging their pets as dust gathered around them. Collapsed buildings, toppled electric poles and debris blocked streets. Parts of the capital lost power and cellphone signal. The lack of cellphone signal in parts of Venezuela deepened the distress of many families, particularly those among the more than 7.7 million people who have left the country during its protracted crisis.People evacuated swaying buildings in Caracas and remained outside, many visibly shocked as they saw entire walls that had collapsed, making furniture visible from the street. Dust columns could also be seen in two neighborhoods of the capital, where restaurants and other businesses are typically busy. Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said the Altamira neighborhood in Caracas had \"alarming situations\" with collapsed homes and buildings. He urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage some structures.\"We understand that some people may be desperate, but we are acting according to protocols to activate aid and rescue efforts to help those who need it most,\" Cabello said on state TV. \"Be very careful with children and the elderly; call each other and check that no one has been harmed.\" He also urged people to remain outside as aftershocks could further damage some structures.People walk amid debris after an earthquake in Caracas, Venezuela, on June 24, 2026.\n \n AP Photo/Ariana Cubillos\n\n Maria Alejandra, a woman who escaped a collapsed building in Caracas, told Reuters that \"all the walls were cracked\" when the earthquakes struck. \"We managed to open the door however we could,\" she said. \"There was a cloud of smoke that wouldn't let us see. And when we went downstairs, the scene was like a horror movie. We had to climb over the rubble and everything. The building superintendent with the baby and all the neighbors coming down. But from that building, I only saw that one family got out.\"An Agence France-Presse journalist saw a 22-story building completely destroyed in Caracas' Altamira neighborhood, where people cried out relatives' names as volunteers climbed over the rubble.

Unreal. The force was incredibly strong,\" Caracas resident Roberto Damas said. \"We were walking and it was tossing us around. Everything in the apartment fell. Well, thank God we were able to get out.\"Exiled Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado wrote on X, \"My heart, my infinite embrace, and my prayers are with every Venezuelan home in these hours of anguish. May strength, serenity, and solidarity prevail among us in the face of this difficult moment.\"Buildings in Manaus, Belem and Macapá in Brazil's Amazon were evacuated, according to reports on TV Globo.The quakes were also felt in Colombia's Caribbean and northeast regions, but there were no reports of damage or injuries. The Colombian Maritime Authority said in a statement that the country's Caribbean coast wasn't at risk of a tsunami.Strong earthquakes are unusual in Venezuela.While the country sits near multiple fault lines, its position straddling the South American and Caribbean plates makes earthquakes much less common than in other parts of Latin America. Along the Pacific coast — in Mexico and Chile, for example — earthquakes are frequent. Those two countries sit along the seismically active tectonic belt known as the \"Pacific Ring of Fire,\" responsible for 90% of earthquakes, according to the USGS.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/7-1-magnitude-earthquake-venezuela-tsunami-advisory-puerto-rico-virgin-islands/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS

The measure, the most comprehensive housing legislation in decades, aims to increase housing supply and bring down costs, including by limiting institutional investors from purchasing certain single-family homes. \"Today's Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency,\" he wrote. \"Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT\"Under the Constitution, a bill that has passed both chambers of Congress and has been presented to the president automatically becomes law if he doesn't sign or veto it within 10 days, excluding Sundays, as long as lawmakers are in session. House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the president told him he wants to see more progress on passing the SAVE America Act before he signs the housing bill. \"He has a window of time before he has to sign a bill, and he's going to use a little bit more of that window of time,\" Johnson said. \"He'll do it within that 10-day window.\"A reporter asked the president later Wednesday if he will veto the bill if it reaches his desk. He didn't answer directly.\"I said I'm not signing the housing bill, I want to see what happens with SAVE. Look, the housing bill is, I made billions of dollars with housing,\" he said. \"I know housing better than maybe anybody anywhere. It's all about the interest rate. Lower the interest rates, you can have all the housing you want. But you have to understand, I don't want to hurt people that own houses, too. These people, for the first time in their lives, they have valuable houses. They've become rich. I don't want to hurt them either.\" White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt advertised the bill signing as recently as Tuesday night. Republican lawmakers have touted the housing bill as a key accomplishment heading into the midterm elections, as affordability concerns are top of mind for voters. GOP leaders have struggled to pass significant legislation given their narrow majorities, particularly in the House. The president subsequently met with Republican senators on the Hill on Wednesday to discuss the SAVE America Act. After Mr. Trump's post, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters that the president's move to cancel the housing bill signing was \"his call to make.\"Thune noted that the housing bill has been a long-sought effort and calls it a \"great piece of legislation.\"\"It's an affordability issue, and eventually I hope he'll find his way to sign it,\" Thune said.Mr. Trump and his allies in Congress have demanded the Senate take up the elections measure, which would impose strict new limits on registering to vote and casting a ballot. But Republican leaders in the upper chamber have repeatedly said they do not have the votes to approve it or change Senate rules to push it through. \"He's fixated on the SAVE Act that we passed three times out of the House,\" Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska told CBS News. \"He strongly endorsed the housing bill a month ago, so the criticisms now are strange. We made the Senate bill better than when he endorsed it.\"In an earlier post, the president downplayed the significance of the housing bill in comparison to the SAVE America Act. \"The Elizabeth 'Pocahontas' Warren centric housing bill, which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even FISA, pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,\" he wrote, referring to the Massachusetts Democratic senator who has been one of the main proponents of the bill.The House approved the housing bill Tuesday evening by a wide bipartisan margin after the Senate passed the measure a day earlier. Its passage through both chambers came after months of back-and-forth between the two chambers. What the housing bill doesAmong its more than 45 provisions, the bill includes provisions aimed at increasing development of affordable housing by removing regulatory barriers and streamlining environmental reviews. It also:Launches a pilot program to help local governments convert vacant commercial buildings into affordable housing;Unlocks more federal funding for the construction of factory-built homes;Eliminates a rule that requires homes to be built on a chassis, a steel framework used to transport them;Creates an innovation fund for communities increasing housing supply and supports housing opportunities for veterans;Limits the purchases of single-family homes by institutional investors.Supporters say the institutional investor limits will cut competition and benefit homebuyers. The restrictions apply to existing single-family homes, not new construction, a carveout that preserves incentives for financial firms to invest in new housing construction, a Senate staffer previously told CBS News. As of 2025, larger institutional investors — those that own more than 1,000 homes — owned a combined 500,000 properties, accounting for 0.34% of U.S. housing stock and roughly 3% of the total single-family rental supply, according to analysts with BofA Global Research. Yet such investors are a much larger presence in some cities. In Jacksonville, Florida, for example, investors own more than 20% of single-family rental homes, according to a 2026 U.S. Government Accountability Office analysis. Between 2018 and 2024, Dallas and Phoenix each added at least 16,000 investor-owned homes, up 177% and 114%, respectively, over that period. Institutional investors \"don't own a large percentage of all the single-family homes in the United States, but it's concentrated in certain communities throughout the country, and that's the concern,\" said Dennis Shea, executive vice president at the Bipartisan Policy Center.The legislation's passage represented a rare moment of bipartisan achievement in a Congress that has been marked by obstruction and a series of stalemates. Lawmakers have feuded over some of their most basic responsibilities, like funding the government, while party-line legislation has been the focus of the previous 18 months under narrow GOP majorities. The bill's passage was even more striking in an election year, when divisions are generally more pronounced.Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the president is \"running away from one of the very few accomplishments that could actually help the American people\" by refusing to sign the legislation. \"The bipartisan housing bill was an accomplishment that the American people want, are proud of, and need,\" Schumer said on the Senate floor. \"Trump runs away from it. He's not going to sign it. He's petulant, he's angry, and he looks ridiculous canceling it just two hours before he's supposed to sign it.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/trump-signs-housing-bill-capitol/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kaia Hubbard","publishDate":"2026-06-24T21:04:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F24%2Fe573eb0f-3607-4221-89e5-be2aba698915%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F0b7db8e869d6f55e976007ee94d087e5%2Fgettyimages-2283138052.jpg","slug":"trump-cancels-bipartisan-housing-bill-signing-reiterates-demand-for-save-america-act"},{"id":"csw8tp","title":"What to know about Season 3 of America's Sweethearts","excerpt":"The stakes are higher, the spotlight is brighter, and the pressure is on for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders!

One of the major issues identified: in much of the affected area, communities did not have outdoor warning sirens. Lawmakers vowed to address the problem. Gov. Greg Abbott called a special legislative session and lawmakers passed a new state law to help some communities pay for siren systems.As residents in the Hill Country mark one year since the tragedy, Texas is rolling out those new flood warning sirens in the hardest hit areas. But a CBS News Texas I-Team investigation found big gaps still exist, leaving some Texans wondering whether lawmakers fixed the problem or just responded to a crisis. New sirens going up in flood-prone parts of Texas In the days after the July 4th weekend flooding last year, State Sen. Paul Bettencourt pushed to install outdoor warning sirens in flood-prone areas.\"It was obvious that if sirens had gone off down the upper Guadalupe River shed as this wall of water was coming down, then people could have had a last-minute warning to get to higher ground,\" Bettencourt said in a recent interview.Lawmakers passed Senate Bill 3, the legislation authored by Bettencourt that set aside $50 million for a grant program to help flood-prone counties pay for siren installation. Twenty-nine Hill Country counties have signed agreements with the state, including Kerr County, where eight sirens have been installed. The sirens have been strategically located near campsites, along the south and north fork of the Guadalupe River.Not everyone in the area is convinced these new sirens will keep them safe.Kerr County resident Randy Murphy's family owns property along the Guadalupe. He says last year, when the floods hit, he was able to work quickly to make sure everyone got to higher ground. But while he believes the new sirens are \"better than nothing\" in a confined area like the campsites, he questions how effective they will be to homeowners along the river in the event of a flash flood. He doesn't think they would have made a difference during last year's flood: \"You wouldn't have been able to hear them in that kind of a storm.\"Murphy said he believes lawmakers oversimplified a complex problem. He argues what's needed is something more sophisticated: a connected network of sensors feeding real-time data, capable of pushing targeted alerts to cell phones, radios and sirens. \"If they said sirens are going to be it, we're no further along today than we were back on July 4th,\" Murphy said. A patchwork of protection in many Texas countiesThirty counties are eligible for funding through the state's new grant program. But in many of Texas' other 224 counties, communities either don't have sirens, or have systems that are outdated. There is no statewide standard for how sirens should be used or maintained. There is not even a database.The I-Team reached out to every county in the state in an effort to create one, and in the process uncovered a patchwork of protection, where safety can depend entirely on your zip code. The I-Team identified more than 2,000 sirens, nearly half of them in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. But large parts of the state are without any.Cost remains a deterrent for many county governments. The price tag for sirens can vary depending on size, features and installation. The eight recently installed in Kerr County cost $716,000, a little less than $100,000 per siren. These are on the pricier end as they include software and an integration system. Others can cost under $50,000, but even then some local communities have told the I-Team they can't afford to install new systems.Bettencourt said the state had to start somewhere and it made sense for lawmakers to focus on areas of Texas hit by last year's floods first, but he warned communities shouldn't wait for the state to invest in the technology.\"We don't need to go through another natural disaster for everybody to realize that we need to get outdoor warning sirens up and running,\" Bettencourt said. \"Use our local monies wisely.\"Search the table below to learn more about how different Texas counties alert residents in emergency situations.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-flood-warning-sirens-hill-country-kerr-county-gaps-remain/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Brian New","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:53:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F24c7eba7-80fc-4917-8db7-d3277c458643%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa229a06dee91588c84bceea4eb290c67%2F00-00-56-19.jpg","slug":"a-year-after-catastrophic-floods-texas-expands-warning-sirens-as-communities-question-whether-its-en"},{"id":"v8b669","title":"Japan fans pack Harwood Park ahead of Thursday's World Cup clash","excerpt":"Japan’s World Cup match against Sweden kicks off at 6 p.m. Thursday at Dallas Stadium.

They asked NBC 5 for help.\n\n\n\n‘COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS’\n\n\n\nWearing Argentina’s away jersey, 15-year-old Cade Tolin headed to Dallas Stadium to see his favorite player, Lionel Messi, take the pitch in the World Cup.\n\n\n\n“I’ve just been waiting, counting down the days,” Tolin said.\n\n\n\nBut it almost didn’t happen. \n\n\n\nAbout a week before the match, Tolin’s mom, Jennifer Stevens, said she received a notification from StubHub. The tickets the family bought in November were not available. The search for replacement tickets showed no other options.\n\n\n\n“Mom panic sets in at the highest level,” Stevens said. “You want to make things happen for your kid. You want their dreams to come true. We called StubHub. My husband spent hours on the phone. There was just no resolution,” Stevens told NBC 5 Responds.\n\n\n\nStevens said the two tickets were a Christmas gift for Tolin, purchased for a few hundred dollars before the family knew what teams were playing at Dallas Stadium. It would turn out they had tickets to the June 22 match between Austria and defending World Cup Champions Argentina.\n\n\n\n“For kids, for a worldwide opportunity to celebrate unity instead of division, to celebrate something that brings us together,” said Stevens. “For families to have to struggle at the end of the day because the price tag is bigger or better, it’s just really hard.”\n\n\n\nNEW TICKETS\n\n\n\nStevens contacted NBC 5. In an email to NBC 5 Responds, StubHub wrote, “Our Customer Care Team is in contact with the family and securing them tickets to the match. We understand that attending the World Cup represents a significant investment in time and money, and we take our responsibility to every fan who books through our platform seriously.”\n\n\n\nStubHub also wrote, “Many of the issues fans are facing trace back to the event organizer’s poor technology infrastructure, newly-announced transfer restrictions, and a new app that was launched just a month ago ahead of such a major event. All of these decisions by the event organizer have created significant confusion and delays for fans.”\n\n\n\nStubHub continued, “Regardless of the cause, when sellers don’t deliver tickets on time, StubHub investigates and takes action, including permanent bans and financial penalties. Every order on StubHub is backed by our FanProtect Guarantee: if a ticket doesn’t arrive or isn’t valid for entry, we work to find a replacement, issue a full refund or send a 120% credit to fans.”\n\n\n\nNBC 5 Responds asked FIFA about the Stevens’ tickets. \n\n\n\nIn an email, a FIFA spokesperson wrote, “FIFA.com/tickets (primary ticket sales and the official resale/exchange platform) is the official ticket sales channel for the FIFA World Cup 2026. FIFA can guarantee the validity and delivery of tickets purchased through its official platforms.”\n\n\n\nWhen NBC 5 read through FIFA’s FAQ section of its website, it said, “If you purchased tickets through a third-party platform, please contact them directly.

The Saints also drafted Allen High School grad Jordyn Tyson in the first round.\n\n\n\nThe Cowboys previously hosted the Rams for joint practices last year. The Rams have proverbially won the offseason, with trades for Arlington’s Myles Garrett, who is coming off an award-winning and record-setting season with the Cleveland Browns, and Trent McDuffie, who won two Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs. The Rams are also led by Highland Park’s Matthew Stafford, the reigning league MVP.\n\n\n\nThis is Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer’s second season at the helm; the Cowboys finished 7-9-1 and fielded one of the worst defenses in team history. \n\n\n\n“It’s a little harder to carry the pads later into the season,” Schottenheimer said. “I do think, talking with our sports science people, there’s a different way to really build some calluses during training camp. And then when the season starts, we’re going to have a hard type of week, a medium type of week, and a light type of week. I think that’s all the stuff that I’ve learned, and am using the people who are experts more than me on how the body works and how the body recovers.”\n\n\n\nThe Cowboys also made key additions to the defense with new coordinator Christian Parker joining from Philadelphia and two first-round picks, Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence.\n\n\n\nThe Cowboys wrapped up Mandatory Minicamp last week. George Pickens attended after signing the franchise tag and pledging not to hold out this season despite not having a long-term deal.\n\n\n\nThe Cowboys’ full daily training camp schedule will be released later this week.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/nfl/the-dallas-cowboys-start-training-camp-on-july-28-with-no-major-holdouts-expected/4039634/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-06-22T14:37:57.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2228983028.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D5804%2C3869","slug":"the-dallas-cowboys-start-training-camp-july-28-with-no-major-holdouts-expected"},{"id":"ixvboy","title":"Messi, Argentina play final group stage game of 2026 World Cup at Dallas Stadium","excerpt":"The FIFA World Cup group stage wraps up Saturday night with concurrent games.

There’s 24-year-old Yaxel Lendeborg, 7-footer Aday Mara, and fellow big man Morez Johnson, Jr. That trio helped the program win its first NCAA championship since 1989, as well as the first by any Big Ten school since Michigan State in 2000.\n\n\n\nYAXEL LENDEBORG\n\n\n\nLendeborg played three years in junior college before moving on to the University of Alabama-Birmingham and then Michigan. Lendeborg had six total games of multiple threes in two years at UAB and was a two-time AAC Defensive Player of the Year, where he was a rebounding machine. He just had 20 such games at Michigan. He went from 37 total threes in two seasons to making 67 on 37.2 percent shooting from deep at Michigan with an 82.4 free throw percentage. Between attacking the rim and stepping beyond the arc, and combined with his defense and rebounding, Lendeborg is the two-way player winning teams will want.\n\n\n\nLendebord would be one of the oldest players taken in the lottery, but he’s 6-foot-9 and 241 pounds with an even larger wingspan. The Consensus All-American has shown growth and continued development throughout his unique path to get here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAday Mara\n\n\n\nMara was a massive presence in Michigan’s huge lineup that carried the Wolverines to their first NCAA championship since 1989. He’s now a lottery prospect in the NBA draft.\n\n\n\nThe 7-foot-3, 260-pound center is the headliner among the big men, a position group with a shorter line of top prospects compared to the guards and forwards. The junior from Spain projects as a defensive force, leading all players measured at the combine in standing reach (9-9) and ranking second in wingspan (7-6). Mara’s massive wingspan and size give him the ability to cover for teammates’ defensive mistakes. \n\n\n\nMara averaged 12.1 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while ranking sixth nationally in blocks (2.6) in 23.4 minutes. He shot 66.8% overall, with Synergy charting post-ups as making up 34.8% of his possession usage. He had steady work as the roller in pick-and-roll scenarios and as a cutter, and predictably earned an “Excellent” rating from Synergy for finishing at the rim (97th percentile).\n\n\n\nMara stood out in a Final Four romp against fellow No. 1 seed Arizona with a career-best 26 points on 11-for-16 shooting with nine rebounds and two blocks.\n\n\n\nMara must improve at the line (56.4%). It’s unclear what type of offense he’ll offer outside of finishing in the paint, though he did make 3 of 10 3-pointers last season in his first foray beyond the arc.\n\n\n\nMorez Johnson, Jr. & other prospects to watch for\n\n\n\nAnd then there is Johnson, another player with size and the ability to play a complementary role just with his mere presence inside. The 6-9, 251-pound sophomore is a versatile player with physicality, and a strong frame could even have him see time as a small-ball 5-man. He averaged 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks. He has a better than 7-3 wingspan and thrived as a cutter, in post-ups, and in finishing at the rim.\n\n\n\nAs far as the non-Michigan prospects, Kingston Flemings (guard, Houston) is a 6-3, 183-pound freshman who was a third-team AP All-American as a lead guard capable of being disruptive defensively. Flemings was an efficient shooter (47.6% overall, 38.7% on 3s, 84.5% on free throws) capable of pressuring teams in transition or off the dribble. He finished with a nearly 3:1 assist-to-turnover ratio and posted a Cougars freshman record 42 points in a loss to Texas Tech.\n\n\n\nBrayden Burries (G, Arizona) was an older 20-year-old freshman who did it all for Arizona as a strong 6-foot-4 combo guard at 215 pounds who can get downhill and can help on both sides of the ball. The Mavs need to nail this pick to build around Cooper Flagg. Adding Burries brings even more two-way impact.\n\n\n\nOutside the lottery, Tarris Reed Jr. turned heads during the NCAA tournament en route to an appearance in the national championship game, recording four double-doubles during March Madness. The 6-10, 264-pound senior was an interior force in UConn’s run to the NCAA final. He had career-high averages of 14.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 2.0 blocks — including 31 points and 27 rebounds in the first-round NCAA win against Furman to become the first player since Houston’s Elvin Hayes in 1968 to post a 30/25 game in March Madness. The late first-round prospect has a better than 7-4 wingspan.\n\n\n\nZuby Ejiofor (forward, St. John’s) is a 6-8, 245-pound physical frontcourt presence with a high motor and a sturdy frame offering defensive potential, both with his ability to tussle in the paint and in moving his feet to handle switches. The senior was a physical presence in St. John’s run to the Sweet 16. Ejiofor has a high motor, with 15.4% of his possession usage coming on offensive-rebound putbacks, according to Synergy. The late first-round prospect made 18 of 59 3s (30.5%) to offer at least some potential to step outside.\n\n\n\n\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/dallas-mavericks/2026-nba-draft-projects-the-dallas-mavericks-could-target-a-michigan-prospect-with-picks-9-30/4039570/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Dalton Johnson, Tristi Rodriguez, AARON BEARD and BRIAN MAHONEY | The Associated","publishDate":"2026-06-22T13:09:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2F2026-06-16T235300Z_1047828401_MT1USATODAY29211073_RTRMADP_3_FROM-LEFT-MICHIGAN-FORWARD-MOREZ-JOHNSON-JR-FORWARD-YAXEL.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4619%2C3079","slug":"nba-draft-projections-the-dallas-mavericks-could-target-a-michigan-prospect"},{"id":"r1v6da","title":"Dallas Mavericks hire reigning national champion coach Dusty May from Michigan","excerpt":"The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Michigan head coach Dusty May to the same role, according to the Associated Press, Dallas Morning News and ESPN.\n\n\n\nThe Mavericks hired their new head coach just a day before the NBA Draft, when several Michigan players are expected to be among those selected.\n\n\n\n\n...","content":"The Dallas Mavericks are hiring Michigan head coach Dusty May to the same role, according to the Associated Press, Dallas Morning News and ESPN.\n\n\n\nThe Mavericks hired their new head coach just a day before the NBA Draft, when several Michigan players are expected to be among those selected.\n\n\n\n\n\nDusty May and Michigan won the 2026 national championship over UConn after going 34-3. They opened the NCAA Tournament by becoming the first team ever to score at least 90 points in five consecutive games.\n\n\n\nThat came three years after the 49-year-old May led Florida Atlantic to its only Final Four appearance. The Owls returned to the NCAA tourney in 2024 before May was hired by Michigan.\n\n\n\nMay replaces Jason Kidd, who was let go two weeks after Masai Ujiri was hired as president of basketball operations and alternate governor of the Mavericks.\n\n\n\nHe comes to the NBA with a chance to mold 2025 No. 1 overall draft pick and reigning Rookie of the Year Cooper Flagg. Veteran star Kyrie Irving is also on the roster for now after missing the entire 2025-26 season following an ACL year in March of last year.\n\n\n\n\n\nMay began his college coaching career as an assistant at Murray State in 2005-06. He then served on staffs at UAB, Louisiana Tech and Florida before getting his first head coaching job at Florida Atlantic.\n\n\n\nThe Owls went 35-4 during their dream season in 2022-23, which ended with a 72-71 loss to San Diego State in the national semifinals after Lamont Butler hit a buzzer-beating shot for the Aztecs.\n\n\n\n“I was a fan of Dusty’s when he was at FAU,” said Yaxel Lendeborg, who played for May at Michigan and is widely expected to be a lottery pick in the first round of Tuesday’s NBA draft. “And now, after playing for him, I’m a bigger fan. I have so much respect for Dusty May, I can’t even tell you.”\n\n\n\nLendeborg said at last month’s draft combine that he felt like May ran Michigan’s program like an NBA program in many ways.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNCAA basketball\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApr 6\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWho is Dusty May?

We played fast-paced, physical, all of that. … I’ve gained so much knowledge from him as far as those actions and just those little communication keys.”\n\n\n\nMay’s rise in coaching has been meteoric, particularly after the last four seasons.\n\n\n\nHe took over at Florida Atlantic in 2018 and had four consecutive seasons of finishing just over .500 — before striking gold in the 2022-23 season, going 35-4 and taking the Owls on that improbable Final Four run.\n\n\n\nHe went 25-9 at FAU the following season, then went to Michigan and brought the Wolverines back to prominence. Michigan went 27-10 two seasons ago before the run to the championship.\n\n\n\nMay’s record in his last four college seasons was 124-26, an .827 winning percentage that was third best in all of major college men’s basketball over that span behind Houston’s Kelvin Sampson (.861) and Duke’s Jon Scheyer (.832).\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAP Basketball Writer Tim Reynolds in Miami and AP Sports Writer Stephen Hawkins in Arlington, Texas, contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/dallas-mavericks/the-dallas-mavericks-hired-reigning-national-champion-head-coach-dusty-may-from-michigan/4039476/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson and Schuyler Dixon | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-22T09:43:54.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2270152377.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4329%2C2886","slug":"dallas-mavericks-hire-reigning-national-champion-coach-dusty-may-from-michigan"},{"id":"s2el2n","title":"USMNT wraps up group play against Turkiye, awaits knockout round opponent","excerpt":"The US Men’s National Team takes on Turkiye Thursday night at Los Angeles Stadium, the same place they beat Paraguay 4-1 when the tournament started a little over a week ago.\n\n\n\nThe USMNT has scored 6 goals in two group stage games and has only allowed a single goal to Paraguay.\n\n\n\nThe USMNT beat...","content":"The US Men’s National Team takes on Turkiye Thursday night at Los Angeles Stadium, the same place they beat Paraguay 4-1 when the tournament started a little over a week ago.\n\n\n\nThe USMNT has scored 6 goals in two group stage games and has only allowed a single goal to Paraguay.\n\n\n\nThe USMNT beat Australia 2-0 without Christian Pulisic in the lineup.

That's after a judge issued sentences ranging from 50 to 100 years in prison for 8 of those convicted on charges related to the incident last July. Lydia Koza and Autumn Hill were married only months before Hill was arrested and charged for her role in the violent protest outside a Johnson County ICE detention center. Koza insists that her spouse had no part in the violence that started with fireworks and vandalism but ended with gunfire that wounded a Johnson County deputy. \"My wife was not present at the time that the officer involved shooting happened,\" Koza said. \"She was not there at the time of any act of violence. There's no justification for this.\"Koza says Hill didn't deserve the 50-year sentence handed down on Tuesday by a federal judge. \"It's an enormous injustice,\" she said. \"Fifty years at age 30 could basically be a life sentence.\"Prosecutors cite violence, firearms, and anti-law enforcement messagesFederal prosecutors obtained convictions on all nine of the Prairieland defendants who were found guilty on multiple charges related to the incident. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche released a statement saying, \"The sentences handed down today make clear that antifa terrorists who attack law enforcement and federal facilities will face swift and uncompromising justice.\"Evidence showed the defendants dressed in black with masks on, and that authorities seized 11 firearms in total. Benjamin Song was the only one who fired and was sentenced to 100 years in prison. The nine defendants found guilty at trial included:Autumn Hill (formerly Cameron Arnold)Zachary EvettsBenjamin SongSavanna BattenMeagan Morris (formerly Bradford Morris)Maricela RuedaElizabeth SotoInes SotoDaniel Rolando Sanchez-EstradaAuthorities released digital messages shared between some members of the group, urging them to \"stay mobile, stay destructive\" and that \"cops are not trained or equipped for more than one rifle.\" Supporters reject terrorism claimsStill, the supporters of the defendants insist that they were not terrorists and that no one was killed. \"It's like the Department of Justice has swatted a fly with a drone,\" Koza said. \"We're arguably more aligned with mainstream American views than the conspiracy theories that the Department of Justice itself is generating in order to prop up this idea of this antifa boogeyman.\"Koza says Hill will appeal her sentence, which will end when the 30-year-old is 80. \"Like me, she's devastated,\" Koza said. \"But she's a very resilient person. She's basically like, 'They can't take more dignity away from me.'\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/families-say-prairieland-ice-defendants-railroaded-by-justice-system/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"J.D.

The camp said it has assets between $100,001 and $500,000.CBS News Texas reviewed the filing, which shows the limited liability corporation behind the camp has not filed prior bankruptcy cases in the last eight years. The filing indicates that funds will be available for distribution to between 1,000 and 5,000 unsecured creditors.Edward S. Eastland, a member of the family that owns the camp, was listed as the camp's authorized representative in the filing. The corporation behind the camp is represented by a Dallas attorney.A total of four companies are listed as affiliated entities in the filing:Camp Mystic, LLCNatural Fountains Properties, Inc.Mystic Camps Family Partnership, Ltd.Mystic Camps Management, LLCCBS News Texas has reached out to Camp Mystic for further comment.Bankruptcy attorney: Liquidation more likely than reorganizationJoyce W. Lindauer, a bankruptcy attorney not involved in the case but who has been following it closely, said the filing is unsurprising given the scale of the camp's legal exposure\"Kind of not a surprise to me that they would file bankruptcy because that is a way for them to deal with a number of the problems they are currently facing,\" Lindauer said.Under Chapter 11, Camp Mystic could attempt to reorganize and continue operating - or liquidate entirely.Lindauer believes liquidation is the more realistic outcome:\"Given the size of the debt and the litigation they were involved in, I would think they would be opting more for a liquidating case, but I don't know,\" Lindauer said.She added that restructuring the business may be nearly impossible.\"Given the amount of liability that potentially is here, it would be difficult to restructure this business and continue to operate it,\" Lindauer said. \"Not saying it's impossible, but I think it would be difficult.\"The filing states the camp intends to propose either a plan of reorganization or a plan of liquidation. Families' attorney: Filing is a delay tacticAn attorney representing families of six victims says the bankruptcy is yet another attempt to stall accountability.\"Every step of the way, they've tried to avoid accountability,\" attorney Sam Taylor told CBS News Texas, calling the bankruptcy \"another effort by them to avoid a trial.\"Missteps discovered during investigationThe bankruptcy filing comes days after a new investigative report into the failed evacuation of Camp Mystic during the deadly July 2025 floods identified a series of missteps that led to the deaths at the camp. Investigators told a joint Texas House and Senate committee they reached four conclusions in their exhaustive review of what contributed to the deaths of 28 people, including the camp's director.\"Nobody had any instruction whatsoever about what to do in an emergency. Particularly, here we are talking about a flood emergency,\" state investigator Casey Garrett told lawmakers. \"There were no specific assignments given to staff.\" Among the findings, investigators said Camp Mystic lacked written emergency plans that complied with state requirements. They also found the camp did not adequately prepare for the storm and did not evacuate in a timely manner despite having ample opportunities.Investigators further concluded that reunification efforts and incident management were chaotic and had traumatic effects on families.In total, 28 people -- including 25 campers, two counselors, and camp director Dick Eastland -- were killed in the July 2025 flood. In April, Texas lawmakers sharply criticized the camp's operators, blasting their evacuation planning ahead of the storm.Camp Mystic withdrew its application for a summer 2026 camp license after that first public hearing.Further developments after the floodMary Elizabeth Eastland, the camp's chief health officer, saw her nursing license temporarily suspended. A week later, the Texas Board of Nursing said she could practice with a limited license. According to an agreed order approved May 19, the board found Eastland failed to ensure the camp's emergency nursing manual included adequate emergency planning procedures, failed to contact 911 after campers and staff were reported missing and failed to report the deaths to state authorities within the required 24-hour timeframe. According to the order, this created an unsafe environment that likely contributed to physical, emotional and psychological harm as well as loss of life.The order also alleges Eastland allowed camp nurses to administer medications under inadequate standing orders between March and July 2025.Eastland, a registered nurse since 2008 and Camp Mystic's chief health officer for 16 years, neither admitted nor denied the allegations but agreed to disciplinary action.After the tragedy at Camp Mystic on July 4, when floodwaters swept away campers and staff, state lawmakers approved a new law with various requirements for summer camps to prevent this from happening again. That included installing a fiber-optic internet connection. But State Rep. Wes Virdell, R-Brady, told CBS News Texas that the law has caused obstacles for the camps. \"Only nine out of, I think maybe 300 camps have been approved for a license for this coming summer because of the new legislation,\" Virdell said. \"The legislation is going to cost camps millions of dollars when there are other alternatives that work just as well.\"Virdell said the main issue for camps is the requirement to install a fiber-optic internet connection, which is expensive. One of the authors of the legislation, State Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, told CBS News Texas that camps have complained to him about the cost and availability of materials and labor. Perry said that last October, he and Rep. Drew Darby, R-San Angelo, wrote to the Department of State Health Services, which oversees licensing for the camps, asking the agency to delay the requirement. Some camps filed suit against the state to block the requirement. Perry said he hopes the judge will agree to do that.\"This needs to get fixed,\" he said. \"Of all the regulations and things we did, I think this is the only one that's causing consternation, causing a challenge to both the department and the camps.\" Families sue state over licensing failures Earlier this year, nine Camp Mystic families sued Texas officials, claiming the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) violated their daughters' \"constitutional rights to life and bodily integrity.\" According to the lawsuit, DSHS licensed Camp Mystic despite its failure to comply with state law requiring youth camps to maintain a written and posted evacuation plan for each building. They allege the camp's emergency instructions directed campers to remain in their cabins during a flood, including those located in designated flood zones along the Guadalupe River.The agency inspected and licensed the nearly 100-year-old camp two days before the flood that killed 27 campers and counselors, the lawsuit states.The suit alleges that while officials inspected the camp annually, they knowingly issued a license despite the absence of a legally required evacuation plan. This is a developing story.

Medical records reviewed by CBS News show he also suffered a concussion, hearing and vision loss, and damage to his lungs. The Army has classified his condition as \"not seriously injured.\"\"That assessment is unacceptable,\" his wife, Amy Bearman, told CBS News in an interview.

The Bearmans are also among several survivors and their families who told CBS News they weren't being treated by the military as combat casualties for reasons they could not understand — a claim an Army spokesman strongly denied.In several cases, injured service members said they had been cleared for duty. But that \"duty\" involves active orders to recuperate from injuries in specialized \"soldier recovery units.\" (A Pentagon spokesperson told CBS News that soldiers in recovery units are not counted as having returned to duty.) Sergeant First Class Cory Hicks, 37, also suffered severe shrapnel wounds from the blast and underwent multiple emergency surgeries at a Kuwaiti hospital. He said his wife was told by an Army official after the strike that his injuries were \"minor.\" \"They said your husband was injured, he has a minor jaw injury, and he's going to be returned to duty,\" said Hicks. He told CBS News he \"absolutely\" believes the Army and the Pentagon have tried to downplay the incident. In a statement to CBS News, the Army strongly pushed back against that claim and said such military designations as \"not seriously injured\" and \"combat casualty\" had specific definitions that were being misconstrued by the families. \"The care and well-being of our Soldiers is of the highest priority,\" an Army spokesperson wrote. \"Any assertion that the Army seeks to downplay a soldier's injuries is simply not true.\"Citing Army protocols, an Army spokesman explained that a soldier who is classified as \"seriously injured\" or \"very seriously injured\" is someone at risk of dying from their wounds within 72 hours.A life-changing phone callAmy Bearman said she knew to stay away from the TV when the U.S. launched Operation Epic Fury on Feb. 28.Her husband had left for Kuwait in September 2025 — his fifth deployment since they were married nearly 25 years ago. His unit, the Iowa-based 103rd Sustainment Command, relocated from Camp Arifjan to a small tactical outpost at Port of Shuaiba weeks before war broke out.Chief Warrant Officer Rodney Bearman.\n \n Bearman family\n\n \"A lot of friends were calling, texting and wanting to know what I knew,\" Bearman told CBS News. \"From being a military spouse for the last almost 25 years, I knew that if anything ever happened to my husband while he was serving, I knew I would receive either an official phone call or an official visit.\"On March 1, an Iranian drone slammed into the multi-trailer work station at Port of Shuaiba. The next day, Amy Bearman received an official call from Fort Knox.\"They told me that my husband's injuries were classified as NSI, and they described that, or they defined that, as 'not seriously injured,'\" she recalled. \"He was treated and released back to duty. That was a huge relief. I think maybe that was the first time that I took a breath in 24 hours.\"But her husband's injuries turned out to be worse than she said the Army led her to believe.On March 3, Amy Bearman received another phone call, this time from her husband, Rodney, who had just spent the night in a Kuwaiti hospital.\"I could just hear him breathing and then he finally said, 'I'm going to be OK.' I waited a few moments and then asked if he returned to duty. It seemed like forever before he answered me, and then he said, 'I can't go back.'\"The strike on Port of Shuaiba killed six U.S. soldiers. In April, a CBS News investigation revealed there were multiple warnings ahead of the strike, related to force protection. Soldiers told CBS News they were left unprotected from the drone attack despite intelligence showing Iran was targeting their position in Kuwait. The findings sparked an investigation from Senate Democrats.Photo obtained by CBS News shows damage from the Iranian drone attack that killed six U.S. service members in Kuwait on March 1, 2026.CBS News then spoke with other survivors of the blast who detailed requests to leadership for more resources ahead of the strike. Those requests focused on the number of medical personnel as well as the availability and accessibility of medical supplies.\"This was a failure,\" Major Stephen Ramsbottom said in an interview with CBS News last month, adding he believed Master Sergeant Nicole Amor, one of the six soldiers killed, could have survived her wounds had there been a doctor, a fixed aid station or more than one ambulance at the post.The soldiers, according to witnesses, instead triaged themselves with makeshift bandages, braces and tourniquets. They commandeered civilian vehicles to drive the wounded to two local Kuwaiti hospitals.Doctors noted that Bearman perhaps should have stayed longer in the hospital in Kuwait, but the Army \"pulled him out\" because of security concerns, medical records show.The Army spokesperson said the investigation into \"the facts and circumstances of the attack\" has been completed, and findings from the probe will be released once next of kin have been briefed. \"Our hope for the investigation is that an honest assessment by the Army will prevent this from happening again to other service members,\" said Amy Bearman. Once stabilized, Hicks was airlifted to Landstuhl Medical Center in Germany and later to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland, where he required inpatient care for several weeks. Sergeant First Class Cory Hicks in the hospital.\n \n Hicks family\n\n Now nearly four months since the attack, he remains at Walter Reed in a soldier recovery unit with a \"pretty severe\" traumatic brain injury, and expects to stay there for at least the next six months.A spokesperson for Walter Reed declined to comment due to privacy laws. In a written statement to CBS News, an Army spokesman declined to comment on what was told to Hicks' wife, but said, \"What I can tell you is that SFC Hicks received the care and treatment necessary in theater to prepare him for evacuation outside of the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility to receive a higher level of care as dictated by his wounds.\"Army defends \"not seriously injured\" designationChief Bearman returned to the United States on March 18, still injured and still with pieces of shrapnel throughout his body.Bearman himself then applied for and was granted a request to be assigned to a soldier recovery unit at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, which was within driving distance from his wife, Amy, and their home in West Virginia.On March 26, Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito wrote to the Army on Bearman's behalf, seeking clarity and answers on what happened to him in Kuwait and why Amy was told her husband was \"not seriously injured.\"Nearly two months later, on May 13, Major General Michael J. Leeney responded to Capito and Bearman, defending the [not seriously injured] designation but noting \"this technical classification is in no way intended to minimize [Chief Warrant Officer] Bearman's contribution and sacrifice.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/wounded-soldiers-families-accuse-army-downplaying-war-injuries/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jonah Kaplan","publishDate":"2026-06-24T12:45:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2Fff47f29c-987f-4d57-ad3a-ad274fe80b53%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6fddcb63b5be840f3c9460e011381322%2Fhicks-injured2.jpg","slug":"wounded-soldiers-families-accuse-army-of-downplaying-war-injuries"},{"id":"w9973y","title":"Fort Worth woman among six killed in fiery Hill County head‑on crash that also injured one, DPS says","excerpt":"Authorities have released the identities of four adults and the ages of two young children killed in a fiery head‑on collision over the weekend between Bynum and Malone in Hill County.The crash happened shortly after 4:30 p.m. Saturday on State Highway 171 near FM 3155, according to the Texas Dep...","content":"Authorities have released the identities of four adults and the ages of two young children killed in a fiery head‑on collision over the weekend between Bynum and Malone in Hill County.The crash happened shortly after 4:30 p.m. Saturday on State Highway 171 near FM 3155, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.\n \n Getty Images\n\n DPS said a Nissan traveling north on SH 171 attempted to pass another vehicle and struck an approaching van head‑on, causing both vehicles to become fully engulfed in flames.Two people in the Nissan – Sallie Evans Benson, 67, of Fort Worth, and Marvin Evans, 50, of Fort Collins, Colorado – were killed, according to DPS.Four people in the van – Amanda Fowler, 37; Sarah Johnson, 59; an 8‑year‑old boy; and a 7‑year‑old girl, all of Hillsboro – also died at the scene.

Mazzant further said, \"The claims at issue will implicitly require the court to determine the meaning of plaintiff's references to 'global missions,' 'Jewish ministry partners,' 'local, national, and international outreach efforts,' and other terms that implicate religious beliefs.\"Robert Morris respondsIn response to the court's decision, Morris released a statement saying he was grateful that the lawsuit was dismissed, and he assured that as the senior pastor of Gateway for over two decades, he faithfully tithed properly. Read his full statement below: \"Having read yesterday's court decision, let me say two things. First, I am grateful for the Court's thoughtful consideration of this case and its decision to dismiss it. Second, I want to be absolutely clear that during my 24 years as Senior Pastor of Gateway Church, tithe monies were faithfully and properly stewarded, and not one dollar was misdirected – not by me, and not by Gateway. Every gift entrusted to us was used to advance the mission God called us to, including our global missions work and our support of Jewish ministry partners, and directed toward the many other charitable purposes to which Gateway was committed. Finally, let me thank the many friends, family members, and Gateway family who have prayed and stood with us throughout this entire process; your faithfulness has meant more to me than words can express.\" Gateway Church respondsAn attorney for Gateway, Ronald Breaux from the firm Haynes Boone, applauded the court's decision.\"We are grateful that the United States District Court has dismissed all claims against Gateway,\" Breaux said. \"Plaintiffs sought to second-guess Gateway's beliefs and decisions on the fundamental religious question of tithing. The First Amendment prohibits such an assault on Gateway's religious autonomy and freedom.\"Dulin and the four plaintiffs who brought the suit did not respond to a request for comment on Tuesday.More legal matters for GatewayThe decision closes another legal door for Gateway Church following the resignation of Pastor Morris two years ago this month. A suit brought by Morris against the church over what he said was millions of dollars owed to him as part of a retirement agreement was dismissed last month, and the case moved to arbitration.Morris, his wife, Debbie, the church, along with a group of current and former church elders and a former employee, still face a $1 million defamation suit filed by Cindy Clemishire and her father. The suit alleges the church defamed them after Clemishire raised allegations that Morris sexually abused her beginning when she was 12 years old.Morris pleaded guilty in October last year in Oklahoma to five counts of lewd and indecent acts with a child. He served six months in the Osage County Jail and was released. He has since registered as a sex offender.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/federal-judge-dismisses-class-action-lawsuit-against-gateway-church-donations/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Giles Hudson","publishDate":"2026-06-24T15:42:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F12%2Ff754be5a-c09e-4664-bf61-c90eb29bcff8%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ffd277e727f4f5392d79e95557651e858%2Fcbstexas-robert-morris-gateway-church-new-132.jpg","slug":"federal-judge-dismisses-class-action-lawsuit-against-gateway-church-over-donations"},{"id":"btx1fz","title":"Triple-digit heat ticks up across North Texas as chance for rain decreases","excerpt":"Temperatures continue to heat up through this weekend, with highs reaching the triple-digit mark by Sunday and continuing into next week.

Glossip, 63, was granted bond in May and released from prison for the first time since his arrest on murder charges in 1997. Glossip was convicted and sentenced to death in the killing of his former boss, Barry Van Treese, who owned the Oklahoma City motel where Glossip worked and died after being bludgeoned with a baseball bat, according to court filings.Attorneys representing Glossip had asked the state judge who ordered his release on bond to consider whether there was enough evidence to retry him. But after a hearing Tuesday, the judge ruled that a new trial would start Sept. 28.Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond had pledged to retry Glossip for first-degree murder. He is not pursuing the death penalty again.\"We are pleased with the ruling,\" a spokesperson, Leslie Berger, said in an email.Glossip's attorney, Don Knight, declined to comment.Former death row prisoner Richard Glossip, left, speaks to media after exiting a detention facility after being granted bond while awaiting retrial, May 14, 2026, in Oklahoma City.\n \n AP Photo/Nick Oxford, File\n\n Prosecutors have alleged Van Treese's death was a murder-for-hire scheme. They accused Glossip of setting up Van Treese's murder, and a co-defendant, Justin Sneed, agreed to testify against Glossip to avoid the death penalty himself. Sneed was the only witness linking Glossip directly to the crime.But the Supreme Court ruled that prosecutors allowed Sneed to give testimony about his mental health history that they knew was false, and said it violated Glossip's constitutional right to a fair trial. Drummond agreed that Glossip should get a new trial.Glossip has maintained his innocence and has drawn support from Kim Kardashian and other prominent figures. Van Treese's family had asked the Supreme Court to leave Glossip's conviction and sentence intact.During Glossip's time on death row, Oklahoma courts set nine different execution dates for him. He came so close to being put to death that he ate three separate last meals.Each time, he was spared because of questions about Oklahoma's planned procedures for lethal injection. In 2015, he was even held in a cell next to Oklahoma's execution chamber, waiting to be strapped to a gurney and die by lethal injection, when the state's governor put executions on hold to review its execution protocols.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/richard-glossip-oklahoma-inmate-death-row-murder-trial/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-24T13:42:55.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F24%2Fcb05c542-899f-46b6-87f6-68d45934bb6b%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F52223cac6a5c63474dc34727d9b421a9%2Fap26173747254197.jpg","slug":"ex-oklahoma-inmate-who-was-nearly-executed-3-times-has-new-murder-trial-set-a-month-after-being-rele"},{"id":"s5b4tj","title":"Friends remember Azle woman killed by father in Father's Day shooting","excerpt":"We're learning more about the Father's Day shooting in Azle that left a woman dead and her father in jail.","content":"We're learning more about the Father's Day shooting in Azle that left a woman dead and her father in jail.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/friends-remember-azle-woman-killed-father-fathers-day-shooting","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Peyton.Yager@fox.com (Peyton Yager)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T01:51:49.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fazleshooting.jpg","slug":"friends-remember-azle-woman-killed-by-father-in-fathers-day-shooting"},{"id":"mn1ynu","title":"Canine Companions’ rising star Aikman shows remarkable progress","excerpt":"Canine Companions is shaping the next generation of service dogs, and Aikman is already proving he’s a standout.

Free. A practical guide for Southlake: pantries, SNAP, WIC, the 211 referral line, and how to use the free Feed America directory at feedam.org.","content":"If groceries didn't fit the budget this month in Southlake, you don't need a statistic to tell you that — you need to know where to get free food near you today, and whether the place you drive to will actually be open when you arrive. The fastest path is usually the simplest: a directory you can search by ZIP code or city, plus a phone line that answers around the clock. Feed America (feedam.org) runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the country.\n\nSearch 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — all 50 states, DC, and US territories. Free. No account, no fee. Visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code.\n\nIf you're in a hurry, start with the phone. Dial 2-1-1 to reach a local referral specialist — free, 24 hours a day — who can point you to nearby pantries, meal sites, and benefit offices. United Way's 211 network fielded about 19 million requests for help in 2025. You can also text your ZIP code to 898-211. The USDA's National Hunger Hotline does the same at 1-866-3-HUNGRY (1-866-348-6479), or 1-877-8-HAMBRE (1-877-842-6273) in Spanish.\n\nIf you'd rather look yourself, search by your ZIP code or city at feedam.org — then call the listing to confirm hours before you go.\n\nWhere to get free food today in Southlake:\n\n— Food pantries hand out groceries: canned and boxed staples, fresh produce, dairy, sometimes meat, occasionally baby formula and diapers.\n— Soup kitchens and community meal sites serve hot, ready-to-eat meals, often with no questions asked.\n— Free and reduced-price school meals feed kids during the school year; summer meal sites and Summer EBT (SunBucks) help cover the gap when school is out.\n— SNAP and WIC offices help you apply for monthly grocery benefits, and many people who qualify never sign up.\n— Community health centers and senior nutrition programs round out the map for older adults and families juggling food and medical bills.\n\nAll of the above are in the Feed America directory at feedam.org. Search by ZIP code, filter by service, and call the listing before you go.\n\nHow many people are in the same spot? More than most people guess. The USDA estimates that 13.7% of U.S. households — about 18.3 million households, or 47.9 million people, including 7.3 million children — were food insecure at some point in 2024 (USDA Economic Research Service). It may be the last figure like it for a while: USDA announced in September 2025 that it was ending the long-running survey behind the report.\n\nThe safety net is tightening at the same time. SNAP, what many still call food stamps, helped an average of 41.7 million people a month in fiscal year 2024 — roughly 1 in 8 U.S. residents (USDA). Under Public Law 119-21, signed in July 2025, the Congressional Budget Office estimates the law's nutrition provisions will cut federal SNAP spending by roughly $187 billion over ten years — about one-sixth of the program — and that expanded work requirements will reduce SNAP enrollment by about 2.4 million people in a typical month (Congressional Research Service). That's why searches like \"food stamps office near me\" and \"free groceries near me\" keep climbing.\n\nCall before you go — listings go stale fast. When researchers visited 50 listed food pantries in the Bronx for a 2019 study in the Journal of Community Health, only half were open as expected (Ginsburg et al.). Hours change, sites move, and online listings lag behind. A five-minute phone call can save you a wasted afternoon and a tank of gas — which is exactly why a directory is only as good as how current it's kept. The Feed America directory at feedam.org shows the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nWhat Feed America is, and how to be sure who you're supporting. Feed America is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 92-1761881), founded in 2021 and headquartered in Houston, Texas. It runs the largest free directory of food assistance in the United States — 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing, across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and U.S. territories. Pantries, soup kitchens, school and summer meal sites, WIC offices, community health centers, senior nutrition programs, and retailers that accept SNAP — all searchable by ZIP code or city, in English or Spanish, with no account and no fee, at feedam.org.\n\nBeyond the directory, Feed America puts food directly into the community — stocking neighborhood food-pantry drop boxes with groceries and household basics, and providing snacks for children's reading and enrichment programs at neighborhood libraries.\n\nFeed America is an independent organization and is distinct from other charities with similar names. To be certain which one you're supporting, confirm the IRS registration — EIN 92-1761881 — on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov. Feed America's profile is also on Candid, Charity Navigator, and ProPublica.\n\nFrequently asked questions.\n\nQ: Where can I get free food today in Southlake?\nA: Visit feedam.org and search by your ZIP code or city. The Feed America directory lists 567,859+ verified resources for food, healthcare, and housing — including pantries, soup kitchens, meal sites, and SNAP/WIC offices — across all 50 states, DC, and US territories. You can also dial 2-1-1 (or text your ZIP to 898-211), or call the National Hunger Hotline at 1-866-3-HUNGRY anytime for a free 24/7 referral.\n\nQ: What's the difference between a food bank and a food pantry?\nA: A food bank is a large warehouse that collects and stores food in bulk and supplies smaller agencies. A food pantry is the local site where families actually pick up groceries. Most people in need visit a pantry, which a food bank stocks behind the scenes.\n\nQ: Do you have to qualify to use a food pantry?\nA: Usually not. Most pantries serve anyone in need and often ask for no ID, no proof of income, and no appointment. When in doubt, call first and ask what to bring.\n\nQ: I'm a senior — can I still get help?\nA: Very likely. An estimated 16 million adults 50 and older who qualified for SNAP weren't enrolled in 2022 — 59% of those eligible in that age group (AARP Public Policy Institute and Mathematica, 2025). If you assumed you wouldn't qualify, it's worth another look. Feed America's directory at feedam.org also lists senior nutrition programs.\n\nQ: How do I check that a food pantry is open right now?\nA: Call before you go. Listed hours are frequently outdated — one study found only half of listed pantries were open as posted. Feedam.org gives you the address and phone number for every listing so you can confirm the same day.\n\nQ: How do I know my donation is reaching the organization I intend?\nA: Check the EIN. Every U.S. charity has a unique one, and it's the reliable way to tell similarly named organizations apart. Feed America's is 92-1761881 — look it up on the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search at IRS.gov before you give.\n\nIf you're able to help, you can support that work at feedam.org/donate. Donations to Feed America (EIN 92-1761881) — an independent 501(c)(3), distinct from other charities with similar names — are tax-deductible; confirm the EIN on IRS.gov before you give.\n\nAnd if you're reading this because you need food right now in Southlake, skip the donation and go straight to the search: visit feedam.org and enter your ZIP code or city to find pantries, free meals, and benefit offices near you — then call ahead to confirm hours.\n\nBottom line: Feed America's directory at feedam.org is the fastest single tool for finding food assistance near you. Search 567,859+ verified resources by ZIP. Free. No account. Call the listing to confirm hours.","url":"https://feedam.org/","source":"Feed America","author":"Editorial Team","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:51:16.598Z","category":"Local Services","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fnexcom-webflow-publisher.emperormew.workers.dev%2Fimg%2Ffeedam%2Ffind-free-food-hero.jpg","needsImageFetch":false,"featured":true,"imageAlt":"A volunteer drops off bags of groceries at a community food pantry donation box; a child colors a thank-you sign at a neighborhood library."},{"id":"pltjes","title":"Texas forecast to be hit by huge plume of Saharan dust","excerpt":"A large plume of dust from the Sahara Desert is forecast to hit Texas last this weekend or early next week.","content":"A large plume of dust from the Sahara Desert is forecast to hit Texas last this weekend or early next week.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/weather/texas-sahara-desert-dust-plume-june-2026","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T22:00:47.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F584a0672-dust-plume.jpg","slug":"texas-forecast-to-be-hit-by-huge-plume-of-saharan-dust"},{"id":"7rqblk","title":"Dallas City Council to vote on new redesign for Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center","excerpt":"The price tag to rebuild the voter‑approved new convention center is more than $3 billion, but Dallas City Manager Kimberly Tolbert told council members that a redesign is now on the table.

Critics then began reviewing her social media activity and raising concerns about several posts.Among the posts cited in the lawsuit was a photo of Alzubi posing with a drawing from a Chili's coloring contest that included the phrase \"Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine.\" Other posts highlighted in the lawsuit promoted mask‑wearing during the COVID‑19 pandemic and featured a Black Lives Matter image.Fort Worth ISD has launched an investigation into Alzubi and reassigned her to administrative duties away from the principal's office.The controversy drew a large turnout at Tuesday's school board meeting, where more than 60 people signed up to speak.Many speakers voiced support for Alzubi, including students who urged district leaders not to let criticism of her social media activity determine her future with the district.Others argued that her past posts raise concerns about her ability to remain impartial in a leadership role.The lawsuit alleges the district \"gave in to anti-Muslim, anti-Palestinian hysteria,\" violating Alzubi's First Amendment rights.Alzubi's legal counsel from the Council on American-Islamic Relations said during a Tuesday news conference that the district's actions amount to a constitutional violation and called for her reinstatement.Supporters also argued that Fort Worth ISD risks losing a highly qualified educator.The district declined to comment, citing pending litigation. It has not indicated when its investigation will be completed.Alzubi is seeking reinstatement as principal of Western Hills High School through the federal lawsuit.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/fort-worth-principal-reassigned-lawsuit-social-media-posts/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Amelia Mugavero","publishDate":"2026-06-24T04:02:03.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F24%2Fda4b3b3e-92c7-40d8-951e-6b940cc4cbb6%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F94c9a3a8ae6e987953d1fe109ab0f483%2Famelia.png","slug":"fort-worth-educator-sues-district-after-reassignment-citing-anti-muslim-backlash"},{"id":"mv9yly","title":"Abbott asks feds to pay back $10 billion for border security operation","excerpt":"Texas has formally asked the federal government to pay back more than $10 billion used for the state’s border security efforts.","content":"Texas has formally asked the federal government to pay back more than $10 billion used for the state’s border security efforts.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/abbott-feds-pay-back-10-billion-border-security","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Aaron.Barker@fox.com (Aaron Barker)","publishDate":"2026-06-24T19:59:57.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox7austin.com%2Fwww.fox7austin.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2023%2F09%2Fborder-wall.jpg","slug":"abbott-asks-feds-to-pay-back-10-billion-for-border-security-operation"},{"id":"4puktg","title":"Sweden fans kick off World Cup spirit in Frisco ahead of Japan match","excerpt":"In two days, Sweden faces Japan in the World Cup, but before cheering on their team from the stands, some Swedish fans are taking the pitch tonight in Frisco.

U.S. District Judge P. Casey Pitts in the Northern District of California ruled in a 71-page opinion Tuesday that the policies were arbitrary and violated the Administrative Procedure Act. He said that attorneys for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Executive Office for Immigration Review \"failed to provide reasoned explanations for their actions.\" The practice of making arrests at immigration courts began during the Trump administration and enabled federal law enforcement agents to take into custody individuals who were appearing before immigration judges. Community leaders and Democratic lawmakers have railed against the practice, which has led to dramatic confrontations in the hallways outside courtrooms. They say the tactics used by federal immigration agents are leaving communities traumatized.Pitts said that \"ICE is not arresting individuals who appear for criminal or civil violations 'unrelated' to the arrest but instead arresting noncitizens based on the very immigration offenses for which the noncitizens are appearing in immigration court.\"The policy, Pitts said, is \"based on a false premise\" that ICE had properly rescinded past guidance on arrests at immigration courthouses from 2021, and \"fails to provide a rational explanation\" for its removal of previous limits on civil enforcement actions at immigration courts.The detention waiver, which allowed ICE to hold detainees for more than 12 hours, also violated the Fifth Amendment rights of detainees because they were subject to \"punitive conditions of confinement,\" Pitts wrote.Pitts said that ICE has held some detainees at an immigration center in San Francisco for more than 12 hours — and often overnight or for multiple days — and struck down the policy because ICE \"failed to consider alternative options to address its capacity issues,\" which were at the root of the policy's implementation.\"When a judge sentences a defendant, the defendant is taken into custody. If an alien is ordered removed by an immigration judge, the same should happen,\" DHS general counsel James Percival wrote Tuesday night on X. \"A district judge ordering otherwise is naked judicial activism in service of an anti-American, open borders agenda.\" Separately, a federal judge in New York ruled last month that federal agents can no longer make arrests at immigration courthouses in Manhattan.U.S. District Judge P. Kevin Castel, the judge in the New York case, similarly found that the Trump administration's withdrawal of the prior limits on enforcement actions at immigration courts was \"arbitrary and capricious.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/judge-blocks-trump-administration-immigration-court-arrests/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jacob Rosen","publishDate":"2026-06-24T03:27:55.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F03%2F26%2F6607249e-0740-45ce-b3e3-cd127ccb3cce%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F592089dc2f8a40274976f383fe58bed2%2Fgettyimages-2226685259.jpg","slug":"judge-blocks-trump-administration-from-arresting-immigrants-at-courts"},{"id":"zxrgg","title":"North Texas heat wave: triple-digit temperatures expected","excerpt":"High pressure continues building across Texas.

Senate on Tuesday approved a House-passed resolution aimed at reining in President Trump on Iran, marking the first time such a measure has made it through both chambers and signifying a rare rebuke of the president's handling of the conflict.In a 50 to 48 vote, four Republicans — Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Rand Paul of Kentucky — joined the bulk of Senate Democrats in support of the measure. One Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, opposed. Two Republicans — Mitch McConnell and Dave McCormick — did not vote.The resolution directs the president to \"remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities against the Islamic Republic of Iran,\" unless Congress declares war or authorizes the use of military force. The measure is a concurrent resolution, meaning it doesn't require the president's signature. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 says that the president must withdraw forces from hostilities \"if the Congress so directs by concurrent resolution.\"But Tuesday's resolution will likely be largely symbolic, since the administration argues that U.S. forces are not currently engaged in hostilities with Iran. Some administration officials have also said they consider the War Powers Resolution itself to be unconstitutional.In a Truth Social post Tuesday night, Mr. Trump blasted the passage, calling it \"poorly timed and meaningless.\" \"Four Republican Losers voted with the Dumocrats, and Iran asked my people, 'what does that all mean?'\" Mr. Trump wrote. \"These Senators have just made my job more difficult, but I will get it done, one way or the other, because I always get it done.\"Rep. Gregory Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee who introduced the measure, said he plans to \"explore all legal avenues to ensure the Executive complies with the will of Congress.\" \"Regardless of what President Trump says, this measure is binding under the War Powers Resolution,\" he said in a statement after Senate passage. \"Congress never authorized this failed war, and the president certainly has no authority to continue it indefinitely without our consent as the Constitution demands.\" Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer encouraged Republicans to join Democrats to support the measure ahead of the vote Tuesday morning, previewing the effort to \"once again put Republicans on the record on whether they want Trump's disastrous war to continue.\"\"Republicans can complain about Trump's war, his secrecy and his disastrous deal with Iran all they want behind closed doors,\" the New York Democrat said. \"But the only way to ensure this war ends once and for all is for Republicans to act.\"When the House adopted the measure on June 3, four Republicans and all Democrats voted in favor, after three previous failed attempts to rein in Mr. Trump on Iran. The measure's passage also came after GOP leaders abruptly pulled the vote before Memorial Day when it became clear that they did not have the votes to block it. Republican Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Tom Barrett of Michigan and Warren Davidson of Ohio voted with Democrats on passage. Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine, who has voted against the three previous failed attempts, also dropped his opposition and voted for the measure, giving his party unanimity on the issue for the first time. In the Senate, Tuesday's vote marked the tenth time Senate Democrats have forced a war powers vote since the war began in late February, putting pressure on the GOP as support for the war has become shakier. On the eighth attempt, the Senate advanced a resolution led by Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia to limit Mr. Trump's war powers in Iran in a 50 to 47 vote. The same four Republicans who supported Tuesday's concurrent resolution voted to advance Kaine's war powers measure last month, while three GOP members' absences tipped the scales in Democrats' favor. Kaine's measure has to survive additional votes in the Senate before it would head to the House. The timing on the next vote remains unclear, but Schumer said last week that Democrats are trying to pick off more Republicans before moving forward. Tuesday's outcome may be the encouragement Democrats need to force their next vote on Kaine's measure, a joint resolution, which would require the president's signature. The last war powers vote in the Senate on a resolution from Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia narrowly failed to advance due to three absences among Democrats.

Heading into Tuesday's draft at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the Wizards were believed to be deciding between Dybantsa and Kansas phenom combo guard Darryn Peterson. The Utah Jazz then took Peterson at No. 2. The Memphis Grizzlies selected Duke forward Cameron Boozer at No. 3. Boozer is following in the footsteps of his famous father, Carlos Boozer, who also played at Duke before a successful NBA career. At No. 4, the Chicago Bulls chose North Carolina forward Caleb Wilson. NBA commissioner Adam Silver shakes hands with AJ Dybantsa after he is drafted first overall by the Washington Wizards in the 2026 NBA Draft at Barclays Center on June 23, 2026, in New York City.\n \n Arturo Holmes / Getty Images\n\n Dybantsa appeared to say a quick prayer after his name was announced, then went on stage to greet Commissioner Adam Silver and slipped on a black Wizards hat that matched nicely with his black suit. He will join a Wizards team that has struggled to find its footing in recent years, making only one playoff appearance in the last eight seasons due to a series of misfires on the roster front. But the Wizards will be looking for a fresh start with a team built around Dybantsa, star point guard Trae Young — who agreed to a four-year, $212 million deal earlier this week — and big man Anthony Davis, who the Wizards traded for in February.Dybantsa averaged 25.5 points last season at BYU, highlighted by a 43-point effort that broke BYU's freshman scoring record. At 6-foot-9 and 217 pounds, Dybantsa has drawn comparisons to Kevin Durant, who happens to be his favorite player. Durant grew up in the Washington area. The Wizards desperately need Dybantsa to prove he can make them contenders in a competitive Eastern Conference that just saw the New York Knicks win their first NBA title in 53 years, and then saw superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat. The last time the Wizards had the No. 1 overall pick was in 2010, when they took point guard John Wall. The five-time All-Star had a solid career that was ultimately derailed by injuries. Wizards fans will be hoping Dybantsa has a better tenure. Some thought Peterson had the most talent in the class, but the guard missed 11 games during the season because of injuries and illness, potentially creating some questions that Dybantsa didn't have.In taking Wilson, the Bulls drafted a player from North Carolina in the first round for the third time. It worked out pretty well the first two times.Chicago selected Michael Jordan with the No. 3 pick in 1984, and the Hall of Fame guard led the franchise to six NBA championships in the 1990s.The Bulls took Coby White at No. 7 in 2019. The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 15.4 points in six-plus seasons with the team before he was traded to Charlotte in February.Many experts believed any possible chaos or surprises in the draft would start at the fifth pick or later, because Dybantsa, Peterson, Boozer and Wilson were widely considered to be the top four prospects. With that No. 5 pick — which the Los Angeles Clippers acquired the rights to after a trade with the Indiana Pacers — the Clippers took Illinois guard Keaton Wagler. In his lone college season, in which he led the Fighting Illini to the Final Four, Wagler shot 40% from 3-point range, 80% from the foul line, and averaged 4.2 assists per game. But what might have tipped the scale for the Clippers was his size. He stands 6-foot-5 without shoes, making him one of the tallest guards in this draft class.The draft host Brooklyn Nets then went with Louisville guard Mikel Brown Jr. at No. 6, and the Sacramento Kings went with Arkansas guard Darius Acuff Jr. at No. 7. University of Houston point guard Kingston Flemings went to the Atlanta Hawks at No. 8.The Dallas Mavericks created a reunion with the No. 9 pick by taking forward Morez Johnson Jr. from Michigan. Johnson was congratulated by national champion Michigan teammates Yaxel Lendeborg and Aday Mara, who were also in the green room, and then hugged his old and new coach. Dusty May left the Wolverines to coach the Mavericks on the eve of the draft.Lendeborg and Mara didn't have to wait long for their turn. The Golden State Warriors took Lendenborg with the No. 11 pick and the Oklahoma City Thunder followed by going for the 7-3 Mara at No. 12.The draft is always a celebration, when all teams have hope, but the cheers seemed even more frequent than usual. They began when Silver opened his remarks by hailing the Knicks and NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson, with a number of fans in Barclays Center wearing Knicks jerseys. Nets fans, who endured a miserable season watching the home team in the arena, applauded the selection of Brown, who had a 45-point performance to highlight his season that was cut short by a back injury.The Bucks picked up two rookies.

Investigators believe the same person or people sent both notes and that both were likely sent from the same computer IP address.The first note demanded millions in bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie's release. In the second note, sent a few days later, the apparent abductors revealed that Nancy Guthrie had died. The note indicated that they did not mean for her to die, according to sources who reviewed the notes. Her daughter, \"Today\" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, said in an interview with NBC in March that the family believes the two notes are authentic. \"There are a lot of different notes, I think, that came, and I think most of them — it's my understanding — are not real, and I didn't see them,\" she said. \"But I believe the two notes that we received, that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real.\"The first note, sent on Feb. 2, one day after Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, was sent to three media outlets — two local news stations and TMZ — via their online tip lines. That note gave highly specific details about Guthrie's home, including that an Apple Watch with a white band was on the floor of her bedroom and that her back porch light was broken, according to investigators. The note was addressed to Savannah Guthrie, according to multiple sources familiar with the note.The second note was sent on Feb. 6 and was similar in language and style but did not make any demands, according to sources who reviewed both notes.Savannah Guthrie and her siblings publicly addressed their mother's kidnappers in an Instagram video posted after the second note was sent.\"We received your message and we understand,\" Savannah Guthrie said in the video. \"We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. ... This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.\"In emotional remarks on the \"Today\" show Tuesday, she declined to comment on reports about the ransom notes and once again urged anyone with information to share what they know. \"This is unprecedented, to say the least, to be sitting here. But I don't have any comment on this story and I'm not involved in our coverage,\" she said.\"I want to take the opportunity to ask people — to really beg people — to come forward. Somebody knows something,\" she continued. \"We are in agony and we cannot be at peace. ... We need your help. We are begging for your help.\"The FBI tip line is 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). The Guthrie family is offering a reward of $1 million, on top of the FBI's reward of up to $100,000.A task force made up of FBI and Pima County detectives continues to investigate her kidnapping and search for Nancy Guthrie and her abductors.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/nancy-guthrie-ransom-notes-abductor-said-she-died-investigators/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Pat

justice center in Cleburne, located about 51 miles south of Dallas, following a postponement last month.What charges does King face?Adam King\n \n Johnson County\n\n King, who is 57 years old, is accused of retaliating against a female employee who filed a human resources complaint against him for sexual harassment. He was arrested last August on charges of abuse of office and corrupt influence. Months later, in October, King was indicted for perjury, for allegedly lying under oath in grand jury testimony.An indictment filed last year claims that King made comments of a sexual or harassing nature, including that she must \"disrobe\" before he would sign any documents. He also allegedly tried to get her home address \"knowing the fact would cause a reasonable person to feel harassed, terrified, intimidated, alarmed or tormented,\" according to the indictment.The indictment also states that after the woman King's alleged violations to the Texas Rangers, he threatened to handcuff \"and book her into the county jail.\" King, who is married, is still in office. He was elected sheriff in 2016 and is currently serving his third term. He previously served as commander of the South Texas Officers and Prosecutors Human Trafficking Task Force.The sheriff's office said King voluntarily placed himself on administrative leave in light of the indictment.King also allegedly threatened Chief Deputy James Saulter, who reported the allegations, a violation of the whistleblower act, the indictment says. Separately, King fired Saulter in May for alleged policy violations. Saulter was scheduled to testify against King in the trial.

The Dallas International Piano Competition, hosted by the Dallas Chamber Symphony, will present its final round of competition on June 23 at Moody Performance Hall in the Dallas Arts District. The finals will feature three finalists, each playing a concerto with the Dallas Chamber Symphony.\n\n\n\nThe orchestra established its international instrument competitions in 2012, only one year after its founding. Every other year, the orchestra hosts a piano competition. Next year, the competition will feature violinists. The competition has grown significantly throughout the years.\n\n\n\n“We had 172 applicants this year. So, that’s an increase. It continues to increase, especially since the pandemic. The events have really bounced back. It’s kind of going full steam ahead since things generally paused during the pandemic. We’ve got top-notch applicants,” said Richard McKay, Dallas Chamber Symphony’s Artistic and Music Director. “In all, we’re just really happy that the level of the competition continues to increase year after year.”\n\n\n\nDuring the final round of the competition, three finalists will play a concerto with the Dallas Chamber Symphony.\n\n\n\nLike the World Cup, the competitors are from around the world.\n\n\n\n“I think we had applicants from roughly 20 different countries. And many of them already have a home base in the United States, even though they’re from elsewhere. So, maybe they have recently graduated from an American conservatory or currently enrolled and looking to start a career,” McKay said.\n\n\n\nWith the World Cup in town, this year’s Dallas International Piano Competition is a different experience for the pianists.\n\n\n\n“FIFA has really been a complexifier this year for us, because we have all these people traveling to Dallas at the same time that everyone else is traveling to Dallas. They’re all needing to stay in Dallas at the same time everyone else is staying in Dallas. They’re going to experience busy traffic and events happening constantly so I’m sure their experience is quite a bit different from a normal year, but we’re making it through. We’ve got everyone lined up. we’ve got what they need to be successful during the competition places to stay and a great orchestra to perform with. So, all the hard work’s been done. Now it’s just time to make a great concert,” McKay said.\n\n\n\nThe competition began quarterfinals on June 18 at Murchison Performing Arts Center in Denton. The jury for the final round of the competition at Moody Performance Hall consists of James Giles, coordinator of the piano program and director of music performance graduate studies at Northwestern University’s Bienen School of Music; Elinor Freer, the Associate Professor of Piano and Chamber Music at the Eastman School of Music; and Alexandre Moutouzkine, the co-head of the piano department at Manhattan School of Music. The audience will have a say as well when they get to vote for an audience favorite.\n\n\n\n“They love voting on the Audience Choice Award. That’s for sure. People love that. It’s always interesting to see if there’s a difference between what the jury selects for the top prize, and who the audience selects for the top prize. Sometimes there’s agreement, sometimes there’s not. So, it’s always fun to watch and see,” McKay said.\n\n\n\nWith two intermissions, the final round of the competition has a different atmosphere to the orchestra’s other concerts.\n\n\n\n“There’s a long intermission in between each concerto. So, people are up and about talking a lot more and they’re getting drinks more. And this just makes the event feel more relaxed and fun. It’s more conversational all night long,” McKay said.\n\n\n\nPreparing for the final round of competition is a different process for the orchestra.\n\n\n\n“They have to learn about 12 different concertos, because that’s what’s in play at the start of the competition. And then as the results come in for the competition, we start narrowing down the three concertos that will be performed at the concert. So, we’re sending out messages to our orchestra, letting them know, which ones they don’t have to practice any longer. They will find out the results of semifinals on Friday afternoon so they’ll have the weekend to focus on the actual three that they will end up performing. And then rehearsals on that start on Monday,” McKay said.\n\n\n\nAdam Jackson was the top prize winner at the Dallas International Piano Competition in 2024.\n\n\n\nJim Stopher will guest-conduct the final round, with McKay, a trained pianist, sitting in the audience knowing what those competitors are experiencing.\n\n\n\n“As someone who’s played in competitions before, I think the best thing you can possibly do is play your music as you intend and just as intentionally as you possibly can,” McKay said. “It’s very easy when performing in a competition, to adjust or to conform to your idea of what you think will help you be most successful in one venue or arena, as opposed to just maximizing what you do well and what really fits you. Each person’s going to know best how they best make music and how they can most successfully perform very well and I would advise they all do that because it’s a comfort you feel afterwards, having done what it is you intended to do in the way that you intended to do it, even if the chips don’t quite fall the right way for you, it’s hard to regret doing that. It’s hard to have any regrets when you did the best you could and you did your job as well as you knew how and exactly as you want it to. That always feels good.”\n\n\n\nLearn more: Dallas Chamber Symphony","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/entertainment/the-scene/pianists-from-around-the-world-compete-in-dallas-international-piano-competition/4038875/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Kimberly Richard","publishDate":"2026-06-19T22:36:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FAdam-Jackson-240618_DCS-71.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4500%2C3000","slug":"pianists-from-around-the-world-compete-in-dallas-international-piano-competition"},{"id":"lxiwaa","title":"First look at evidence shown in Karmelo Anthony murder case","excerpt":"Newly released evidence shown in court is providing the public with its first look at materials shown to jurors during the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, who was convicted in the death of Austin Metcalf.\n\n\n\nPrevious Trial Coverage: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5\n\n\n\nNo cameras were allowe...","content":"Newly released evidence shown in court is providing the public with its first look at materials shown to jurors during the murder trial of Karmelo Anthony, who was convicted in the death of Austin Metcalf.\n\n\n\nPrevious Trial Coverage: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5\n\n\n\nNo cameras were allowed in the courtroom during the trial, making the newly released evidence the first public view of key recordings and images presented to the jury.\n\n\n\nThe evidence includes 911 calls, surveillance video, police body camera footage, crime scene photographs and images of the knife prosecutors said Anthony used in the fatal stabbing.\n\n\n\nPicture of the knife shown to jurors in the Karmelo Anthony murder case. \n\n\n\nAccording to investigators, the confrontation began during a Frisco track meet when Anthony, a Centennial High School student, was sitting under Memorial High School’s team tent and Metcalf told him to leave.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony murder trial\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 10\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony to appeal murder conviction in Frisco stabbing case\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCrime and Courts\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 12\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProsecutor in Karmelo Anthony murder trial reflects on trial, sentence\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFrisco\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tKarmelo Anthony sentenced to 35 years for the murder of Austin Metcalf\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nVideo Footage\n\n\n\nSurveillance video shown to jurors captured a brief burst of activity under the Memorial High School tent.

The USDA said the funding will support new technologies aimed at improving detection, treatment and eradication efforts.\n\n\n\nWhat is the New World screwworm?\n\n\n\nThe New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae feed on living tissue in animals. The pest can cause severe injuries and economic losses for livestock producers.\n\n\n\nThe Grand Challenge\n\n\n\nOn June 17, the USDA announced funding for 40 projects to help strengthen the response to the New World screwworm.\n\n\n\nThe proposals were submitted through the USDA Grand Challenge, launched in January 2026. The initiative sought projects that could improve New World screwworm detection, control, and eradication.\n\n\n\nPriorities of the Grand Challenge focused on four key areas:\n\n\n\n\nEnhancing sterile NWS fly production, improving efficiency and capacity\n\n\n\nDeveloping new NWS traps and lures, modernizing detection and warning systems.\n\n\n\nAdvancing therapeutics and treatments to improve animal health outcomes.\n\n\n\nThe development of other tools to improve preparedness and response.\n\n\n\n\nThe agency said it received 226 applications requesting about $664 million in funding.\n\n\n\nSeveral Texas universities were selected to receive a share of the approximately $105 million awarded nationwide.\n\n\n\nThe USDA website lists: Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas at Arlington, the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston, the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, and other Texas A&M branches.\n\n\n\nTexas A&M AgriLife Research\n\n\n\nTexas A&M AgriLife is a major contributor to the Grand Challenge. One Department of Entomology project will focus on maximizing the effectiveness of sterile insects using electron-beam irradiation.\n\n\n\nTwo projects related to therapeutics and treatment also received funding. One, led by the Department of Veterinary Pathobiology, will examine the New World screwworm outbreak in Honduras. Another will focus on developing a nanomaterial-enabled dsRNA biopesticide at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Dallas.\n\n\n\nFour preparedness and response projects also received funding, including one that would use AI-enabled surveillance to improve detection efforts.\n\n\n\nA release from Texas A&M AgriLife also mentions collaboration on additional projects, and a separate Grand Challenge project that explores electron beam technology as a potentially safer alternative to high-radioactivity cobalt-60 gamma sterilization. \n\n\n\nTexas Tech\n\n\n\nTexas Tech University is investigating an innovative approach to fly sterilization that would allow sterilized flies to carry a small amount of an insecticide called pyriproxyfen. This could reduce female flies’ ability to reproduce, bolstering overall suppression efforts, according to a statement from Texas Tech.\n\n\n\nThe research team will also develop stations designed to bait the flies into inadvertently picking up the insecticide at “attraction stations” near livestock operations, and spreading it to other locations the flies may visit.\n\n\n\nUniversity of Texas at Arlington\n\n\n\nThe University of Texas at Arlington will use its funding to develop a smart trap that uses AI to distinguish between wild and sterile flies, while targeting wild females responsible for spreading larvae.\n\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tNew World Screworm\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsumer\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 11\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat history teaches us about the screwworm outbreak and how to fight it\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAgriculture\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tNew flesh-eating screwworm cases found in Texas and beyond in a dog, goat and calf\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAgriculture\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBeef prices already at records as Texas confronts screwworm cases\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAgriculture\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJun 8\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat to know about the New World screwworm fly and its reappearance in the US\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTexas Border\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSep 23, 2025\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMexico boosts controls on cattle after new screwworm case found near Texas border\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\n\n\nTexas leaders praised the funding awards, saying the projects will help Texas combat the New World screwworm and protect the state’s livestock industry.\n\n\n\n“Texas is no stranger to the New World screwworm threat and we are prepared to push this danger out of our state for good,” said Governor Greg Abbott. “These grants will empower Texans on the front lines to eradicate the screwworm and protect our livestock industry.

The recall follows 13 known incidents. Six occurred in Phoenix in April, when Waymo vehicles drove into closed freeway construction zones. Seven more incidents took place in San Francisco in May, where robotaxis entered freeway lanes with active construction, according to NHTSA’s report filed Thursday.\n\n\n\nThe company said it is developing a “remedy” to address the problem. In the meantime, it has limited robotaxi availability on freeways. Prior to the restriction, Waymo had been serving public riders on freeways in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and Miami.\n\n\n\nThis is not the first recall involving Waymo vehicles. The company previously recalled cars for crashing into a pole in Phoenix in 2024, passing stopped school buses in December 2025, and stopping in floodwater in Atlanta in May.\n\n\n\nA stopped Waymo also slowed a constable responding to the Oak Cliff apartment explosion last month. Waymo said the vehicle was making a turn to leave the area and was yielding to other traffic when the officer approached.\n\n\n\nWaymo currently operates a commercial robotaxi service in 11 U.S. markets and offers access to select riders in several cities. The company is also planning its first international expansions later this year, with launches expected in London and Tokyo.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/video-captures-waymo-stuck-in-high-water-amid-flooding-in-dallas/4038763/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-06-19T10:50:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Ffeaturedimg.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"video-captures-waymo-stuck-in-high-water-amid-flooding-in-dallas"},{"id":"wv92pj","title":"Dallas Zoo capybaras make their World Cup prediction, and one goes rogue","excerpt":"Three Dallas Zoo capybaras were tasked with predicting the outcome of Sunday’s World Cup match between Argentina and Austria, and their picks delivered an unexpected result.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe zoo’s capybaras, Velero, Atziri and Piquiri, were presented with two soccer-themed goals decorated in the colors...","content":"Three Dallas Zoo capybaras were tasked with predicting the outcome of Sunday’s World Cup match between Argentina and Austria, and their picks delivered an unexpected result.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe zoo’s capybaras, Velero, Atziri and Piquiri, were presented with two soccer-themed goals decorated in the colors of Argentina and Austria and stocked with some of their favorite treats, including kale and bamboo. Soccer-shaped cantaloupes added to the World Cup atmosphere.\n\n\n\nWhen released, two of the three capybaras headed toward Austria’s goal, suggesting the rodents are predicting an upset victory over Argentina.\n\n\n\nThe third capybara, however, had a different approach: After spending time near Argentina’s goal, the animal knocked the entire structure over, creating a moment the zoo described as “open to interpretation.”\n\n\n\nThe prediction comes as the zoo continues its soccer-themed Goal Wild! experience, part of the larger Illuminature lantern festival. Visitors can experience Goal Wild! nightly through June.\n\n\n\nThe zoo is also hosting the Sunset Safari Block Party on Sunday in partnership with Visit Dallas. The free event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. at Halperin Park and East Dock and will feature activities, food and entertainment throughout the evening.\n\n\n\nAdmission to Illuminature will be discounted to $15 per person on Sunday night, which the zoo says is the lowest price offered for the event.\nThis story uses functionality that may not work in our app. Click here to open the story in your web browser.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/dallas-zoo-capybaras-make-their-world-cup-prediction-and-one-goes-rogue/4038743/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"NBCDFW Staff","publishDate":"2026-06-19T10:04:25.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fcapy-featured.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1920%2C1080","slug":"dallas-zoo-capybaras-make-their-world-cup-prediction-and-one-goes-rogue"},{"id":"x7c3kg","title":"Dallas all-access passes return for teens","excerpt":"Dallas Parks and Recreation will distribute 25,000 all-access passes that give Dallas teens free admission to cultural and recreational attractions across the city throughout July.\n\n\n\nPasses will be available beginning June 29 on a first-come, first-served basis at City of Dallas recreation cente...","content":"Dallas Parks and Recreation will distribute 25,000 all-access passes that give Dallas teens free admission to cultural and recreational attractions across the city throughout July.\n\n\n\nPasses will be available beginning June 29 on a first-come, first-served basis at City of Dallas recreation centers.\n\n\n\nThe program, now entering its fifth year, is open to Dallas residents ages 13 to 17.

We go see our companies on a regular basis, not just once a year, maybe three times a year. Check in on them, how are you doing. How can we help you be more successful?\"The first of Plano's economic hat-tricks, luring the Dallas Stars to build their new arena at the Willow Bend mall site. If approved by Plano residents in November, the city will create user taxes on ticket sales, parking, hotels and rental cars to contribute to the project. \"We will not raise property taxes at all,\" said Muns.He said some of the money raised will go towards updating the arena down the road and not letting it become obsolete, which is what various leaders say happened to the American Airlines Center in Dallas, where the Stars play now. \"I think it's really incumbent upon us to make sure that we come up with a way to have funds available for those updates,\" Muns said. \"I think the Stars understand how much they would appreciate that being that that didn't happen in Dallas.\"The city, Muns said, is considering expanding DART's red line light rail along the city's east side by using the train tracks just north of the Bush toll road that goes to the city's west side near the Willow Bend Mall. \"There's a lot of possibilities, but we'll definitely talk to DART about making sure that we have mass transit in that area for fans,\" said MunsPlano also lured AT&T's new headquarters from its current home in downtown Dallas.They are building a new campus on the old EDS site along Legacy, near the Dallas North Toll Road, in West Plano. In all, 10,000 employees will work at the new headquarters. \"We responded immediately and told them, you know, and they were looking at different sites in Plano,\" Muns said. \"So, we were trying to do the best we could to promote whatever site they were looking at at that time.\"Plano also celebrated the news from Samsung that it will move its corporate headquarters from New Jersey to Plano, where it already has offices along Central Expressway and Legacy. No word yet on whether they will build the corporate offices there or if they will build in another part of the city. Muns said the city didn't pursue the corporate offices. \"It was really kind of a surprise to us,\" he said. \"But it was a welcome surprise because Samsung is a great, great client, and we're really proud to have them.\" He said he and other city leaders had just met with company executives two months earlier. \"We were in Seoul, South Korea, in April with the Samsung people in Swan, Korea, and it never got brought up,\" said Muns. \"We had a wonderful meeting. Once again, we were there trying to build our relationships because they do have a facility here that has about three people on the east side and is very successful.\"With a population that has grown to more than 300,000 residents, Muns said all of their planning is paying off. \"People still want to be here, and I think that's what's really impressive.\"Watch Eye On Politics at 7:30 Sunday morning on CBS News Texas on air and streaming","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/plano-mayor-dallas-stars-att-samsung-headquarters/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jack Fink","publishDate":"2026-06-23T22:59:33.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F74ec7dc5-9ea0-4b9b-ba35-a47082f373f6%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fa1052e4f11664d96026b84166196864a%2Fplano-muns.png","slug":"relationships-really-matter-says-planos-mayor-after-city-attracts-dallas-stars-att-samsung-headquart"},{"id":"ikpjtr","title":"World Cup fans flock to Hutchins Barbecue for a true Texas experience","excerpt":"Hutchins Barbecue has seen an explosion of international attention as World Cup visitors “from overseas” descend on North Texas, packing the restaurant to sample iconic Texas dishes.

The risk posed by AI-enhanced hacking is in the spotlight in the wake of startup Anthropic saying in April that its cutting-edge Mythos models had unprecedented abilities to find software vulnerabilities. The security agencies of Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand urged governments and businesses to act swiftly to prepare themselves as AI evolves. \"The rapid pace of frontier AI development means cyber risk assumptions can become outdated in months, not years,\" said a joint statement dated Monday. AI \"lowers barriers for malicious actors and increases the speed and complexity of attacks,\" the Five Eyes advisory said. \"Breaches will occur. Preparedness helps you contain them quickly and prevent escalation into major operational and financial crises.\" To improve cyber defenses, organizations should integrate AI tools into their security operations, update old systems and limit access to critical systems among other steps, they said.\"It's pretty alarming,\" Chris Krebs, former director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, told CBS News. \"The past several months have been a bit of a whirlwind in terms of advanced AI,\" he said. \"And this note from the Five Eyes intelligence agencies, while not really a single development, it's a signal that businesses need to take the risk posed by AI falling into the wrong hands very seriously.\" Krebs noted that the Five Eyes statement \"lays out a couple of discrete and achievable actions\" that businesses and other organizations can take to \"make themselves harder targets, make themselves more agile, more resilient\" and prepare for what he called \"the vulnerability tsunami that's heading our way.\"Anthropic this month suspended access to Mythos 5 and a restricted version called Fable 5 to comply with a U.S. national security order. Just days after publicly launching Fable 5, the company said it had received a government directive banning all foreign nationals from accessing the two models. The intervention is striking for a White House that has otherwise pushed to loosen AI oversight — even moving to block states from writing their own rules.

Jake Lang went on a tirade against the judge as he was walking out of the Collin County Jail. No one that CBS News Texas spoke to in the judicial system can recall a judge ordering someone to leave the state as a condition of bond. But Jake Lang said that he plans to adhere to those instructions and denied that his reported threat to kill Karmelo Anthony was serious. \"Freedom! Woo hoo! Going to get some barbecue and then get on a plane,\" Lang said. \"Because I'm not allowed — the first man in American history to be kicked out and banned from the state of Texas for my political ideologies,Jake Lang left the Collin County Jail with a GPS monitor attached to his leg after posting a $250,000 bond. Lang accused of threatening to kill Karmelo AnthonyHe's been ordered to leave the state except for court dates after his arrest for making a terroristic threat. It's related to a live stream social media post of the scene outside the Collin County Courthouse during the Karmelo Anthony murder trial. Authorities say Lang made a threat to kill Anthony while in a hostile verbal exchange with one of the teen's supporters. Outside the jail, Lang called his arrest politically motivated. \"This is a draconian abuse of power,\" he said. \"And these judges don't care about it. They only care about creating the right optics so that they can get elected the next segment.\"The 31-year-old, who was part of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and pro-ICE demonstrations in Minneapolis, says after this arrest, he plans to tone down some of his extremist rhetoric. \"So, yes, of course, we're going to be moving forward, trying to really watch the way we're speaking in the future, knowing that it was hyperbole, knowing that it was an exaggeration,\" said Lang. :I didn't have any weapons on me. You know, I would never do such a thing.\"Lang has posted on X that he was joking about killing Anthony, but he faces two to 10 years in prison if convicted.

The company is located along Forest Hill Circle, near I-20 and Highway 287.Due to the intensity of the flames, crews fought the fire defensively in an effort to prevent it from spreading, the department said.CBS News Texas was able to reach out to the company, The Organic Recycler, whose corporate office is located near where the fire erupted.

The decline marks a second straight day of losses after a 1.3% decline on Monday.\"Today's big falls in tech stocks without any major catalyst are another illustration of rising volatility in these stocks, a result of what increasingly looks like frothy earnings expectations and/or valuations,\" James Reilly, senior market economist with Capital Economics, said in a note to clients.The drop in tech stocks in recent weeks has put industry stalwarts such as Meta Platforms and Microsoft in \"bear\" market territory — when a company's shares drop at least 20% for their most recent peak — Reilly added.\"If the new market leaders, semiconductor firms, also start to struggle, the stock market would be in big trouble,\" he said.The S&P 500 sank 1.4%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell less than 0.1%.After a rocky start, some tech stocks rebounded by the end of the trading day. Google parent company Alphabet fell 0.8%, while Amazon closed 0.6% higher. Chipmaker Nvidia tumbled 4.2%, while Broadcom sank 3.1%. SpaceX shares ticked up $1.51, or 1%, to close at $156.11. Earlier this month, investors piled into SpaceX stock after the company's initial public offering, sending it above $200 within days. But the stock has retreated since June 17 as investors fret over whether the company can justify its valuation exceeding $2 trillion. On Monday, SpaceX shares plunged 16%. Investors look for reassuranceFor months, Wall Street has embraced tech stocks, helping drive the market to record highs on optimism that companies pouring billions into AI would translate those investments into faster revenue growth and higher profits. But investors are now demanding more evidence that the spending will pay off. Although apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude have made a splash among consumers, the vast majority of those users employ free versions of these and other AI tools. For example, new data from the Bank of America Institute show that only about 3% of its customers — mostly households with more than $125,000 in annual income — pay for AI services. Those customers spend a median of $20 per month on the apps. Yet usage of the technology is also growing quickly and more broadly, the financial giant noted in a report, underlining AI's enormous commercial potential. The number of households paying for AI services has jumped 38% since 2024, the firm found.Said Bank of America Institute: \"As AI becomes embedded across productivity, search, entertainment, shopping and personal assistant use cases, and higher‑tier subscription plans emerge, BofA Global Research expects the U.S. market could scale to $75 billion annually, supported by rising consumer willingness to pay for convenience and time-saving utility.\"\"For a long time, the market treated AI spending as unquestionably positive,\" Nigel Green, CEO of the financial consultancy deVere Group, said in an email. \"Investors are now becoming more demanding. They want evidence that unprecedented spending will translate into unprecedented profits.\"Global effectsThe tech rout spread beyond the U.S., with South Korea's Kospi tumbling 10.0% to 8,203.84. Signs of greater regulatory scrutiny in the country's semiconductor sector also added to the hand-wringing.Bret Kenwell, a U.S. investment and options Analyst at eToro, told CBS News that a broader weakness and global volatility in tech stocks is weighing on U.S. shares. While the stock selloff ignited sharp declines, Green said he doesn't believe markets are in trouble.\"What we're witnessing now is investors demanding proof instead of promises,\" he said. \"That shift can be uncomfortable, but it's ultimately healthy.\"Brock Weimer, investment strategy analyst at Edward Jones, also noted that the recent pullback in tech stocks follows a strong rally in recent months.\"Taking a step back, the Nasdaq had gained 26% from March 30 through yesterday's close, while the PHLX Semiconductor Index had advanced more than 100% over the same period,\" he said in an email. \"Viewed through this lens, a period of consolidation is reasonable, in our view, after such a sharp move higher.\"Anxiety over interest ratesAnxiety is also growing that rising interest rates later this year could hamper growth. The Federal Reserve's rate-setting committee last week opened the door to an increase in borrowing costs in 2026, as it seeks to keep a lid on accelerating inflation driven by months of rising oil prices stemming from the war in Iran.Economists forecast that a measure of inflation for U.S. consumers — due out Thursday from the government — accelerated to 4.1% in May from 3.8% in April.Traders are betting on a nearly 90% chance the Fed will raise its federal funds rate at least once by the end of the year, up from the 57% chance seen just a week ago, according to data from CME Group.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/tech-stock-selloff-ai-profits-nasdaq-nvidia-alphabet-spacex/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Mary

Authorities initially reported that a vehicle drove into a crowd, hospitalizing at least four people. \n\n\n\nPolice said no one had been killed and none of the injuries were believed to be critical. \n\n\n\nPolice said Thursday night that the driver of the truck had been taken into custody but that there was no indication the crash was intentional or related to terrorism and they were working to determine if the driver had been intoxicated or suffering from a medical episode. \n\n\n\nOn Friday morning, police said investigators determined the crash was a “freak accident” where the driver hit the gas pedal too hard and said no charges had been filed. \n\n\n\nVideo obtained by NBC 5 and Telemundo 39 on Friday morning showed a pickup truck backing through a sidewalk patio outside Birrieria Aguiñaga, smashing tables and sending nearly a dozen people desperately trying to get out of the way. After barreling through the patio, the truck stopped after hitting concrete seating in a small plaza at the intersection of Davis and Bishop Avenue, immediately west of the taco stand. \n\n\n\n\n\nAlejandro Aguiñaga, the owner of the taco stand, told Telemundo 39 the truck was backing up from the adjacent parking lot when the crash occurred. \n\n\n\nAguiñaga said they were cleaning up on Friday morning and planned to reopen the taco stand on Friday afternoon.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/at-least-4-injured-driver-arrested-after-driving-vehicle-into-dallas-crowd/4038569/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"NBCDFW Staff and Shannon Miller","publishDate":"2026-06-18T21:28:36.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FBirrieria-Aguinaga-truck-crash-patio_517041.png%3Ffit%3D1920%2C1080%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"police-truck-crashing-into-crowd-outside-dallas-taco-stand-a-freak-accident"},{"id":"eiefq","title":"Community Park at Fair Park receives $2.5 million grant","excerpt":"The Community Park at Fair Park just received a significant boost to the tune of $2.5 million.

In the lobby of City Hall, the McKesson Foundation announced the grant in support of the project.\n\n\n\n“This project is important because it brings together health, community and access in a way that is designed to support people every day,” said Melissa Thompson, President of the McKesson Foundation.\n\n\n\nIt’s a critical investment for a space ultimately designed for the families who live, work and do life in South Dallas daily. Councilman Adama Bazaldua said that was intentional.\n\n\n\n“This is tangible. These are real dollars,” said Bazaldua. “This is the philanthropic community coming to South Dallas in a way they’ve never come to South Dallas. And it’s not for others to benefit. This is an investment in the people of South Dallas.”\n\n\n\nThe park will cover a little more than 10 acres on what is currently Fair Park’s largest parking lot.\n\n\n\nThe McKesson Foundation’s “McKesson Market Grove” will serve as a space for wellness programming, community events, and healthy food initiatives within the park.\n\n\n\nJason Brown is a South Dallas native and Chairman of the Board of Directors for Fair Park First. He reflected on how far the project has come.\n\n\n\n“You hear studies about the heat island. These large areas of concrete and asphalt that literally increase the temperature in areas,” said Brown. “It shows people out there that folks are not only talking but they’re putting their money up and showing up to improve and have healthy outcomes.”\n\n\n\nBazaldua pointed to a time when the park was in jeopardy of losing funding, resulting in the Dallas City Council taking authority of the development to keep the ball rolling. He said it’s a move that paid off.\n\n\n\n“I made the decision to do something very unprecedented at the time and take the park agreement from the park board at the time so that we could move more expeditiously and we didn’t perpetuate that bureaucracy that slows things down and we didn’t jeopardize the McKesson foundation from being a partner in this project. And I think that sense of urgency was felt and appreciated from the McKesson Foundation to stay on board.”\n\n\n\nThe price tag for the project sits at about $40 million. Fair Park First had already come up with some $34 million for the project, so this grant puts them nearly at the finish line.\n\n\n\nHeather Stevens, President and CEO of Rise 360 and campaign advisor for the Community Park talked about the far-reaching impact of McKesson’s contribution.\n\n\n\n“McKesson Foundation’s investment is a powerful example of what can happen when philanthropic leaders step forward to champion transformational community projects,” said Stevens. “This gift not only moves us significantly closer to completing the Community Park, but it also demonstrates confidence in the vision, the community and the long-term impact this project will have on Dallas. We are deeply grateful for McKesson Foundation’s partnership and leadership. Their investment will help create a lasting legacy of health, access and opportunity for generations of families who will benefit from this park.”\n\n\n\nGroundbreaking is expected sometime later this year, with the buildout expected to take about 18-24 months.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/community-park-fair-park-2-million-grant/4038541/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Candace Sweat","publishDate":"2026-06-18T20:43:03.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fimage-40-3.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1500%2C846","slug":"community-park-at-fair-park-receives-25-million-grant"},{"id":"8a88uu","title":"USPS unveils new Barbie stamps","excerpt":"The United States Postal Service is unveiling new Barbie coolectors stamps.","content":"The United States Postal Service is unveiling new Barbie coolectors stamps.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/usps-unveils-new-barbie-stamps/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:29:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F12754a9f-23ac-4f3f-aead-54ae70f2ecdf%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F64812437c1b9734aa7550d60fe68aae5%2F32449fbe7bcc07852170249823716784.jpg","slug":"usps-unveils-new-barbie-stamps"},{"id":"g81ymy","title":"Meta announces new line of AI glasses","excerpt":"The new \"Muse Spark\" glasses come in three styles.","content":"The new \"Muse Spark\" glasses come in three styles.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/meta-announces-new-line-of-ai-glasses/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:27:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2Fd0cb749c-b7d2-4486-98e7-17c93b2bb8f5%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fe98cd8fd8e7fcc2a78f86bce30573349%2Ff1c4428e5f97b9a42f0981500079e448.jpg","slug":"meta-announces-new-line-of-ai-glasses"},{"id":"s6ono1","title":"Storms bring damaging winds, flood concerns to North Texas","excerpt":"While the heaviest rain has ended, a weak disturbance could trigger a few additional showers and thunderstorms near the Red River Tuesday evening and night.

Fin whales are an endangered species that is particularly threatened by vessel strikes.The whale was discovered on top of the \"bulbous bow\" of a cruise ship arriving in Seward, a coastal city off the Gulf of Alaska, said NOAA Fisheries Alaska. The U.S. government agency is responsible for managing and conserving the nation's ocean resources, including marine life and their habitats, with different branches scattered across the country.After the 61-foot whale was towed to a beach near the port in Seward, NOAA Fisheries said it began working with the Alaska SeaLife Center, a wildlife organization, to perform a necropsy — an autopsy for animals — on the adult female in hopes of determining its cause of death. Although neither group has shared details about those circumstances as of Monday, they said the necropsy did indicate that the whale was pregnant.\"Please stay off the beach at the necropsy site for your safety and to allow space for the team to perform the examination and collect samples,\" said NOAA Fisheries Alaska in a Facebook post, adding that \"it is illegal for anyone to collect tissue, baleen or any part of the whale, unless you are an Alaska Native collecting tissue or parts for subsistence or use in handicrafts.\"The law enforcement office of NOAA Fisheries has opened an investigation into the fin whale's death. It has asked anyone with information to report what they know using the office's 24-hour hotline. Fin whales are the second-largest whale species on Earth, behind the blue whale, and can be found throughout oceans around the world, according to NOAA Fisheries. They became endangered with the rise of modern whaling methods in the middle of the 20th century, after the hunting industry killed nearly 725,000 of them in just the Southern Hemisphere.Currently, conservationists say vessel strikes represent the most serious threat to this whale species. Earlier this year, the Marine Mammal Stranding Center said it was investigating the death of a fin whale found caught on the bow of a ship in Camden County, New Jersey, CBS Philadelphia reported. Another widely publicized incident involved the death of a fin whale near Anchorage in November 2024. Its carcass washed up not far from a coastal trail, drawing onlookers. Although NOAA Fisheries said commercial whaling no longer poses a significant risk to fin whales' survival, conservationists spoke out Monday against the deaths of two fin whales that were recently killed by Icelandic hunters, who were allowed to return from a hiatus that had been in place since 2023.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/fin-whale-dead-alaska-bow-cruise-ship/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Emily Mae Czachor","publishDate":"2026-06-22T16:09:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2F30473d1b-b947-4047-a495-b6e998ed8d2e%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Ff7f2dd49b8b04e1b79d393625675b443%2Ffin-whale-alaska.jpg","slug":"endangered-pregnant-whale-found-dead-on-bow-of-cruise-ship-in-alaska"},{"id":"7mueh8","title":"Nancy Guthrie ransom note, believed to be from abductor, said she died, sources say","excerpt":"Savannah Guthrie and her siblings publicly addressed their mother's kidnappers in an Instagram video posted after the second note was sent.","content":"Savannah Guthrie and her siblings publicly addressed their mother's kidnappers in an Instagram video posted after the second note was sent.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/nancy-guthrie-ransom-note-believed-to-be-from-abductor-said-she-died-sources-say-1/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:17:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2Fccf9330d-ec32-4cf4-8dbe-320500dec058%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fdf97d58c260b189eb1516b34f101c1d3%2Fd4a46defe066197fa8096a441d263168.jpg","slug":"nancy-guthrie-ransom-note-believed-to-be-from-abductor-said-she-died-sources-say"},{"id":"6sft5w","title":"Camp Mystic had no emergency plan, report claims","excerpt":"One year later, recovery is visible in Kerr County,\" said Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country. \"Families are coming home.

Um, a lot of drugs, a lot of drug addicts,” Lewis said. \n\n\n\nLewis says the decades-long crime led by street gangs that the Cole Manor Motel brought to the area, including prostitution, drug trafficking and violent crime, only came to a halt weeks ago, when these fences were put up around the property.\n\n\n\n“It’s noticeable because yesterday I was out front and I definitely noticed it. I noticed even the people in the community. They’re walking in and moving around, working out now. They’re not scared to run down this block anymore,” Lewis said.\n\n\n\nDallas Police say that, between a code compliance case against the property in 2024, a DEA search warrant, a criminal nuisance lawsuit filed by the City of Dallas, and a notice of intent by the US Attorney for the Northern District of Texas to criminally charge the property owners and managers, the motel is finally set to be demolished.\n\n\n\n“I don’t think we’ll miss it.

Mr. Trump, a former real estate developer, has overseen the demolition of the East Wing of the White House to make way for a massive ballroom, tried to change the name of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and completed a resurfacing project at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that quickly faced setbacks. Here's a look at where five of Mr. Trump's projects stand and how much they cost.Lincoln Memorial Reflecting PoolThe Trump administration announced plans to resurface the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in April and paint it \"American flag blue\" at the president's request. The last time the reflecting pool underwent a significant renovation was from 2010 to 2012 during the Obama administration. At the time, the government tapped $34 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to cover the cost of the project.President Trump displays a rendering of his proposed renovations to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool during an event in the Oval Office on June 3.\n \n Kevin Dietsch / Getty Images\n\n The cost: Mr. Trump estimated it would take a week and cost roughly $1.5 million. Atlantic Industrial Coatings, the Virginia-based company hired for the project, completed the restoration in early June for $14.7 million, according to records, more than nine times Mr. Trump's original estimate. The administration spent another $1.7 million on a filtration system. Neither contract for the reflecting pool was subject to a competitive bidding process.National Park Service personnel vacuum algae from the Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC.\n \n Photo by Pete Kiehart/The Washington Post via Getty Images\n\n Where it stands now: Images showed the reflecting pool's water turning green in less than two weeks after Mr. Trump announced that the site had reopened to \"rave reviews.\" A spokesman for the Interior Department said supply lines that had been dormant for two months are to blame for the residual algae causing the color change.Days later, chunks of peeling paint from the blue coating were spotted in the water. Mr. Trump claimed in a Truth Social post, without any evidence, that the Reflecting Pool was vandalized. Five people were arrested for vandalism and five others were served citations, according to the U.S. Park Police.

CBS News obtained architectural renderings of the project in September and weeks later, the White House's East Wing was demolished to start on the ballroom construction. The Trump administration hired Clark Construction as the project's contractor.The Trump administration has argued the proposed ballroom would provide safety assurances for large gatherings with the president and other distinguished guests. Administration officials amplified their argument after April's shooting at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner and an alleged foiled plot to attack the White House UFC event this month.

Mr. Trump has since said construction would cost about $400 million and insisted it would be \"taxpayer-free\" and funded by him and other donors, including tech giants such as Google, Amazon and Nvidia, defense contractors and other large corporations. However, a project summary obtained by The Washington Post showed ballroom construction would cost an estimated $600 million, with about half coming from taxpayer-funded departments, including the Secret Service, White House Military Office and the Executive Residence of the White House.Rendering of the White House State Ballroom interiorWhere it stands now: The project has been embroiled in a legal battle in federal courts. The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the U.S. sued the Trump administration in December for demolishing the East Wing \"without any review whatsoever.\"The White House is waiting for an appeals court to decide whether construction can continue after a lower court ruled that Congress must approve the project.

The structure would be built in the middle of Memorial Circle between the entrance of the Arlington National Cemetery and the Lincoln Memorial. Construction could take two to three years, according to documents published on the Federal Register. When CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe asked President Trump who the arch is for, Mr. Trump simply said: \"Me.\" The White House added that the arch would commemorate the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Rendering of President Trump's triumphal arch that would sit between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington Cemetery.\n \n Interior Department to Commission on Fine Arts \n\n The cost: The White House has not disclosed the total cost for the arch. However, some taxpayer money has already been earmarked for the project. In its spending plan, the National Endowment for the Humanities, an independent government agency, allocated $15 million in taxpayer dollars for the arch.The actual price tag is likely to be much higher: In November 2025, Axios reported that the arch would cost an estimated $100 million. \"The estimated cost of the Triumphal Arch is still being calculated and will be shared in the near future,\" an administration official said in statement to CBS News. \"We anticipate some combination of public and private funds to be used to pay for the Triumphal Arch.\"Where it stands now: Critics say the arch would dominate the skyline and tower over the 99-foot Lincoln Memorial. A group of veterans and a historian sued the Trump administration to block construction, but a federal court has yet to intervene. The National Park Service said the project could take almost a year to complete on an accelerated timeline, with two, 10-hour shifts per day, and \"several tower cranes, forklifts, skid steers, drill rigs, and concrete pumping systems.\" A model of President Trump's proposed arch to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary is seen on a table at a public meeting of the Commission of Fine Arts on April 16.\n \n Andrew Harnik / Getty Images\n\n John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing ArtsMr. Trump has made significant changes at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts during his second term. He ousted several board members, installed himself as chairman and proposed an \"anti-woke\" vision for its future, leading to several artists canceling performances. The board voted in December to change the institution's name to the Trump-Kennedy Center, and a few months later announced it would close its doors for two years for renovations that were slated to begin this summer.Construction workers build scaffolding near the sign for the Donald J. Trump and John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts on June 12.\n \n Anna Moneymaker / Getty Images\n\n The cost: Last year, Mr. Trump secured $257 million through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to restore the Kennedy Center. The tax cut and spending law states that funding is available until September 2029 for expenses related to \"capital repair, restoration, maintenance backlog and security structures\" at the Kennedy Center. Repairs include upgrading theater seats, repairing water damage and drainage issues, replacing soffit panels and addressing structural issues with the center's parking garage.\"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the center,\" Matt Floca, executive director and chief operating officer, said in a statement to CBS News. \"All of these improvements that we need to make are real, are needed.\"The Kennedy Center did not disclose the total estimated cost for the renovations.A tarp covers the newly removed name of President Trump from the facade of the Kennedy Center on June 13.\n \n Aaron Schwartz / Bloomberg via Getty Images\n\n Where it stands now: In May, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper ruled in favor of Rep. Joyce Beatty, an Ohio Democrat who serves on the Kennedy Center's Board of Trustees, after she sued to block the name change and the closure. The judge stopped the plan to temporarily close the center and ruled the board acted unlawfully when it added Mr. Trump's name to the building. \"The Kennedy Center's organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board's unilateral say-so. Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it,\" Cooper wrote in his opinion.Dozens of people gathered outside the Kennedy Center on June 13 to watch crews scrape the president's name off the building. After the judge's ruling, the center's board of trustees voted to create a new endowment in Mr. Trump's name that they said was intended to recognize his \"significant contributions and dedication\" to the Kennedy Center. A Kennedy Center official said the endowment will raise private funds that will supplement the money secured by Mr. Trump and Congress for renovations. Lafayette ParkThe National Park Service announced that portions of the park would close in January because of \"serious concerns about security for construction equipment and prior vandalism associated with public protests in recent years.\" In May, Mr. Trump posted on social media that he had contributed funds to build fountains and to rebuild parts of Lafayette Park in front of the White House. \"That's the entrance to the White House, and it was an embarrassment,\" Mr. Trump said.With the White House in the background, construction equipment is parked in Lafayette Square as part of a renovation project.\n \n Kevin Carter / Getty Images\n\n The cost: The New York Times reported in April that the Trump administration initially agreed to pay the government contractor in charge of the ballroom renovation, Clark Construction, $11.9 million to do the job, but later increased the contract to $17.4 million to cover additional costs.Where it stands now: The project was expected to be completed by May 31, but an administration official told CBS News that the restoration project is still in progress and that \"final figures for the project are unavailable at this time.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/trump-dc-reflecting-pool-renovation-white-house-ballroom-triumphal-arch/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Luis Giraldo","publishDate":"2026-06-23T21:06:19.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F3dde85ba-8deb-4f34-b056-a95b084569db%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F2006cb202ec9093af53c0dc32858492c%2Funtitled-design.jpg","slug":"reflecting-pool-renovation-a-massive-white-house-ballroom-and-a-triumphal-arch-heres-how-trump-is-re"},{"id":"kamziu","title":"Leader of group that attacked Texas ICE facility hit with 100-year sentence","excerpt":"Eight people who were found guilty of terrorism-related charges earlier this year for a 2025 attack on an ICE detention facility in Alvarado, Texas, learned their punishments on Tuesday.

Days before the 2026 NBA Draft, the franchise officially opened a new chapter by hiring former Michigan national championship coach Dusty May as its next head coach. The move continues the Mavericks' organizational overhaul under recently hired basketball operations leadership, signaling a fresh direction focused on player development and long‑term roster construction.May comes to Dallas after leading Michigan to its first national title since 1989, a run that quickly elevated him into the upper tier of college coaches. Now, the 49‑year‑old shifts his attention to an NBA roster headlined by rising star Cooper Flagg and a Mavericks team eager to return to championship contention.His first major opportunity to shape that future arrives Tuesday night at the NBA Draft.Dallas holds three selections: the No. 9 and No. 30 picks in the first round and the No. 48 pick in the second round. With the Mavericks not projected to control their own first‑round pick again until 2031, this year's draft represents a critical chance to add young talent around Flagg.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/mavericks-dusty-may-draft-night-new-era/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Briana Aldridge","publishDate":"2026-06-23T19:58:19.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F788f35a9-1cb9-423e-aa41-2241a960734f%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F3f22363abe69ae306c6ef694fb4f3ac0%2Fdustymay2.png","slug":"new-era-begins-in-dallas-as-mavericks-enter-draft-night-with-dusty-may-new-front-office-leadership"},{"id":"tapd7u","title":"Large fire at building owned by recycling company in Forest Hill","excerpt":"A large fire broke out at a building in Forest Hill on Tuesday afternoon that could be seen for miles.

The county is located east of Houston and borders Louisiana.\"Please remain indoors,\" Orange County Emergency Services wrote on social media. \"An 18 wheeler carrying beehives has turned over and there is a heavy presence of bees in the area.\" No bee stings or serious injuries were immediately reported. Officials haven't identified the owner of the hives.Christie Ray, who owns nearby Queen Bee Supply, said volunteers from three or four other beekeeping businesses in the area went to the crash scene Sunday to help.\"They just help each other, that's what they do,\" Ray said. \"The beekeeping community is a great community.\"The company posted a video and multiple images from the scene, showing beekeepers working together to salvage the hives.A semitrailer carrying about 400 beehives toppled over, allowing millions of bees to escape into a rural neighborhood in Orange, Texas, on June 21, 2026. \n \n Christie Ray/Queen Bee Supply via AP\n\n A photojournalist from CBS affiliate KDFM also captured video despite being stung , the station reported.Chris Moore, owner of Moore Honey, along with his son and several employees, joined the effort to help the bees, but he estimated that only about a quarter of the 408 hives will survive. It mostly depends on how many queens remain alive after the crash, he said.The potential impact on a beekeeping business following a loss like this depends on the size of the apiary. Moore pointed out that the keeper is losing not only the hives but also the revenue they could be generating.\"It's a big loss,\" Moore said. \"Any time you lose that many in one shot, it's a big loss.\"It's common for large beekeeping operations to move hives around the country to provide commercial pollination for agriculture in places like California and to follow blooming seasons throughout the South and the Midwest for honey production.The hives that crashed Sunday had only traveled a few miles on a trip to North Dakota when the truck driver took a wrong turn and ended up in a neighborhood with narrow roads, Moore said. The driver was trying to navigate a tight corner when the trailer fell over.Other local keepers have put out catch boxes to collect remaining strays, but it will likely take a while for the insects to clear out of the area, Moore said.\"We appreciate everyone's patience and cooperation as crews work to safely resolve this incident,\" Orange County Emergency Services wrote on social media.

On Tuesday, leaders are shared an update on housing recovery for those still facing the impacts.The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country hosted a news conference at 10 a.m. in a new neighborhood in Kerrville. Leaders promised to share the most comprehensive update yet on housing recovery efforts aimed at helping survivors return to safe, permanent housing. The briefing took place in the new Marisposa neighborhood.Tuesday's briefing also featured leaders from Habitat for Humanity Kerr County, the Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation, Connective, and the Hunt Preservation Society.The foundation, a nonprofit based in Kerrville and founded in 1982, says it is dedicated to improving the quality of life across the Hill Country region by connecting donors with community needs.In addition to the lives lost, the flooding caused between $18 to 22 billion in damage across the region, including to homes and businesses.\"Housing is the foundation\"Austin Dickson, CEO of the Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, said nearly a year after the devastation, the results of the work done to help people get back to permanent housing were evident, from housing to mental health.\"Housing has been our single largest investment,\" he said, \"because housing is the foundation upon which every other aspect of recovery depends.\"Dickson said 43% of granted funds have been dedicated to housing. In less than a year, Dickson said 130 households had already returned to stable, permanent housing. Another 98 households are actively progressing to that, he added, and more than 180 families are in temporary housing programs.Dickson also shared his gratitude for the 32 disaster case workers who have helped the survivors navigate the process.\"Thank you for all you have done, and all you continue to do for this community and our home,\" he said, garnering applause from the gathered audience.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-hill-country-flooding-housing-recovery-6-23-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Matthew Ablon","publishDate":"2026-06-23T15:32:39.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F23%2F64150019-27b7-43c2-a49a-74d6a0515adf%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4ce03f06b4d55dcc2a32ec83f61ffd5c%2Ftoc-06232026-kerrville-housing-press-conference.jpg","slug":"texas-hill-country-leaders-discuss-housing-recovery-progress-nearly-a-year-after-devastating-july-4-"},{"id":"4jzumb","title":"Paige Bueckers scores 27, Fudd adds career-high 26 as the Dallas Wings beat the Seattle Storm 112-110 in OT","excerpt":"Paige Bueckers scored 27 points, Azzi Fudd added a career-high 26, including the go-ahead basket with 13.2 seconds left in overtime, and the Dallas Wings beat the Seattle Storm 112-110 on Monday night.Bueckers, who scored 17 of the Wings' final 24, netted her 1,000th career point in overtime to c...","content":"Paige Bueckers scored 27 points, Azzi Fudd added a career-high 26, including the go-ahead basket with 13.2 seconds left in overtime, and the Dallas Wings beat the Seattle Storm 112-110 on Monday night.Bueckers, who scored 17 of the Wings' final 24, netted her 1,000th career point in overtime to cap her night and put Dallas ahead 109-108.

The city that adores him. That would be Dallas.Keep in mind, this is purely conjecture on the part of NBA pundits, but the fact that Nico Harrison no longer works for the Mavericks makes some believe the idea is plausible. However, a Doncic reunion with the Mavericks is not easy to envision. After all, Mavs Governor Patrick Dumont publicly criticized Luka's work ethic in the immediate aftermath of the trade with the Lakers last year, saying, \"If you look at the greats in the league, the people you and I grew up with - Jordan, Bird, Kobe, Shaq - they worked really hard, every day, with a singular focus to win. And if you don't have that, it doesn't work, and you shouldn't be part of the Dallas Mavericks.\"So, is it even possible that Luka could return to Dallas?Barring a trade, which is highly unlikely, any chance of it happening would be at least two years away. Luka's under contract for two more seasons, and he has a player option for the 2028-29 season as well. He is also eligible for a massive $417 million contract extension before 2028.Much like the situation the Mavericks would have faced with a looming monster Doncic contract extension decision last year, the summer of 2028 figures to be the tipping point on Luka's future with the Lakers.That's when Doncic can decide if the Lakers have done enough to put a championship team around him. And it's also when the Lakers can decide whether to make a nearly $500 million commitment to Dončić.So, the Lakers are on the clock.Meanwhile, in the words of new Mavericks President Masai Ujiri, \"We've planted a Flagg here. We have one player here that can turn everything, and it is so hard to find in sports.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/luka-doncic-mavs-return-possible-6-23-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Bill Jones","publishDate":"2026-06-23T14:45:32.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F03%2F23%2F0400c463-10da-4203-aed0-834e78235ff4%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1a98da9ea331594379ece7d685b96b48%2Fap26079127106604.jpg","slug":"heres-how-luka-doncic-could-return-to-the-dallas-mavericks"},{"id":"vz9obs","title":"Veterans help 94-year-old Plano widow of decorated Vietnam pilot after alleged $70,000 scam","excerpt":"Veterans don't stop being heroes after they leave the armed services.

A group of them in Plano is coming to the aid of an elderly widow of an Air Force pilot, after she says she was ripped off by a contractor for $70,000.Since her husband Nick, a decorated Air Force pilot who served in Vietnam, died in 2011, his widow, Mary Beth Maier, has been able to manage their Plano home exceptionally well for a woman now in her 90s. Everything except their nearly 60-year-old swimming pool. \"We had a problem with the pool leak,\" Maier said. \"So I was looking for someone to renovate and repair and made a bad decision.\"She says she hired an independent contractor who agreed to redo the pool for $35,000, which, within weeks, was raised to $70,000. \"I started checking the books and all the invoices and started adding up stuff,\" her son, Robert Maier, said. \"And no progress in three months, and found out he was a bad guy and a convicted felon.\"\"He did a terrible job,\" she said. \"It was substandard, it wouldn't even probably pass inspection ... It was just devastating.\"When Ryan Wade Hoffman, with Veteran's Pool Company, heard about what happened, he was at her house the very next day. \"When I saw this scenario and then got the backstory of it, there was just no way that I could walk away,\" Hoffman said.Hoffman offered to renovate the pool and surrounding area at no charge to the veteran's widow. He hopes to have the project finished in a few months and has acquired help from a dozen other companies that all believe it's a fitting tribute to the late veteran. \"I had a spouse who was home alone a lot, and I would hate for someone to be taking advantage of her while I was gone,\" said Hoffman.\"They came to my rescue,\" Mary Beth Maier said. \"Ryan Hoffman and a wonderful pool company.\"The 94-year-old, who's temporarily in a physical rehab facility, got to thank the pool company owner in person on Monday and says she can't wait to come home and step into her backyard. \"Oh yes, I'm looking forward to that, and I hope it's going to be pretty soon,\" she said. \"And I think it will be.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/veterans-help-plano-widow-vietnam-pilot-alleged-contractor-scam/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"J.D.

According to law enforcement, the 44-year-old driver, who was taken to the hospital, did not seem intoxicated and was cooperative. He told officials that the Tesla was on autopilot.\"We've asked people who are familiar with Teslas as well as the driver involved in the car to see if – what role the driver's control over the car played in this crash,\" said Sgt. Alex Turman of the Harris County Sheriff's Office.In a social media post, Ashok Elluswamy, the director of Tesla's autopilot software, said \"the driver manually overrode self-driving by pressing the accelerator all the way to 100%.\"\"They reached a speed of 73 mph during the crash, and had the accelerator pressed even after the crash,\" Elluswamy said on X.In a safety report, the company says Teslas in self-driving mode, paired with a human's \"active supervision\" get into fewer collisions per mile driven than the estimated U.S. vehicle averages.An investigation is underway and no charges have been filed yet.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/family-speaks-out-tesla-allegedly-on-autopilot-crashed-home-texas/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jason Allen","publishDate":"2026-06-22T17:43:00.000Z","category":"safety","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2Fc379e3ea-58b8-4cc5-9b84-765113ea3d89%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fb697aac665adc3421b37664c5bdb65ed%2Fcbsn-fusion-tesla-allegedly-on-autopilot-crashes-into-texas-home-killing-one-person-thumbnail.jpg","slug":"daughter-recalls-finding-her-mom-under-the-rubble-after-tesla-crashed-into-texas-home"},{"id":"lo122","title":"Dr. Opal Lee lends voice to landmark study focused on Black women's health","excerpt":"As North Texas prepares to celebrate Juneteenth, Dr. Opal Lee is championing a new cause.

The Grandmother of Juneteenth helped lead the movement to make Juneteenth a federal holiday. \n\n\n\nNow, as she approaches her 100th birthday, the breast cancer survivor is using her voice to support a landmark research effort aimed at improving health outcomes for Black women.\n\n\n\nJust before Juneteenth, Lee spoke with NBC 5 about why she is turning her attention to health.\n\n\n\n“You need to be aware to take care of it so that you can pass it on to your children and their children, otherwise we’re going to die out, we’re gonna die out,” Lee said. “And there’s so much that needs to be taught before we do. And we have to be healthy to be able to do it.”\n\n\n\nWhile many know Lee as an activist, former educator, children’s book author and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, some may not know she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 73.\n\n\n\n“I knew I had cancer and I was told early what to do about it and I did,” Lee said. “Know early what to do to help yourself and do that.”\n\n\n\nHer granddaughter, Promise Roland, said the experience shaped the family.\n\n\n\n“Knowing that, okay, she went through it and we know that it’s something that can be passed down, early detection is key,” Roland said. “It just shaped the way that the women continue to make sure that we’re getting ourselves checked.”\n\n\n\nLee said she continued to live life to the fullest.\n\n\n\n“Oh girl, if know what full is. I’ve lived a full life,” Lee said. “Children, ooh a house full of them. And I enjoyed them, too.”\n\n\n\nNow she is supporting the American Cancer Society’s Voices of Black Women study, which seeks to better understand why Black women experience worse outcomes from some cancers.\n\n\n\nAccording to researchers, Black women are slightly less likely than white women to develop cancer but die at higher rates. Black women are 38% more likely to die from breast cancer and twice as likely to die from uterine cancer.\n\n\n\n“The disproportionate amount of Black women dying from these cancers is really something that should be a public health priority,” said Dr. Lauren McCullough, co-lead of the Voices of Black Women study.\n\n\n\nMcCullough said her work is deeply personal.\n\n\n\n“I lost my dad to cancer,” she said. “It made it my life’s mission to focus on minority health and bring my research and my skills back to the community that I love.”\n\n\n\nThe study aims to enroll 100,000 Black women across the country. So far, about 6,000 have signed up.\n\n\n\nResearchers acknowledge there can be skepticism rooted in generations of inequities and mistrust. However, they say participation is critical to improving health outcomes.\n\n\n\n“A lot of our public health interventions, a lot of our medications, our treatments, our guidelines are often based on the majority without thinking about the nuances of the minority,” McCullough said. “And so I really look at Voices within the spectrum of the American Cancer Society studies as just trying to rebalance the scales.”\n\n\n\nMcCullough is encouraging eligible women to participate and be part of the search for interventions that can save lives.\n\n\n\n“Don’t let fear keep you from making an impact,” she said. The earlier we can begin this work, the sooner we’ll have answers, and the sooner we can begin to make a change.”\n\n\n\nThe study is observational, not a clinical trial. Participants enroll online and answer questions about their health, family history, stress and other behavioral and environmental factors.\n\n\n\nMary Tillman-Young, who works for the American Cancer Society and participates in the study, said the experience has sparked important conversations with friends and family.\n\n\n\n“I lost my mom last year, and then I lost my dad in 2021. And neither of them had been to the doctor in years,” Tillman-Young said. “Participating in the Voices of Black Women study, I am having the opportunity to honor my parents. To provide information that maybe might help future generations feel differently about medicine. And that, that is, that’s why. That’s why.”\n\n\n\nShe is proud and excited to have Dr. Lee as an ambassador, using her voice to amplify the study. Researchers hope thousands more women will join the effort, inspired by her example.\n\n\n\n“We’re all in this together, every one of us,” Lee said. “And so I’m gonna keep on walking and talking, and maybe somebody will listen.”\n\n\n\nDr. McCullough says that while the American Cancer Society has studied more than 2.5 million people, less than 4% of participants have been Black. Researchers are recruiting Black women ages 20 to 60 for the Voices of Black Women study.

In an exchange wi...","content":"Washington — President Trump on Monday said proof will be provided in court of his allegations that vandals \"cut\" a massive slit in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, which he claims is the reason the paint is peeling on the recently renovated but algae-plagued project. In an exchange with CBS News senior White House correspondent Ed O'Keefe, Mr. Trump insisted that vandals, rather than questionable craftsmanship, are responsible for the enduring problems following the $14.7 million sealant job. The president claimed vandals cut a 350-foot slit in the pool between the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial. Five people have been arrested for vandalism related to the Reflecting Pool, and five additional individuals were issued federal citations, according to the U.S. Park Police, although neither the company behind the project nor the U.S. Park Service has said a cut slit was responsible for the peeling. Asked if he had proof, such as photos or video, that vandals used a knife to cut a massive slit in the pool, Mr. Trump responded: \"Well, let's put it this way, when you have a 350, I think it's 350, not 250, when you have a 350-foot slit, from one end to the other, you think that's proof? You think that's proof?\" O'Keefe noted that reporters had been to the site and found no evidence of a slit.\"Well, you'd have to go see the Parks Department. They'll show it to you, or see, see the secretary, but I saw it,\" Mr. Trump said, likely referencing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum. \"They cut it, they cut it very violently. The same thing with the floor, they cut it, and then they lifted it. They pulled it, and that's what it is.\"After defending the project, the president said, \"We also have pictures.\"O'Keefe asked the president for evidence of his claims. \"Yeah, at the right time you'll see it,\" Mr. Trump said. \"You'll see it in court. You'll see it in court, but all you have to do is call the Parks Department, call the Department of Interior.\"Blue coating is seen among algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 21, 2026, on the National Mall in Washington. \n \n AP Photo/Jon Elswick\n\n The president also suggested someone may have placed fertilizer in the water to create the algae that teams have been attempting to clear. \"If you put fertilizer in the water, you get algae, but somebody said they might have put fertilizer, they did something to create the algae,\" the president said, again without providing evidence for his claims.CBS News has reached out to the National Park Service and the Department of the Interior. So far, there's been no response. Atlantic Industrial Coatings, which received a no-bid contract to install the sealant on the floor of the Reflecting Pool, told CBS News there are \"some areas\" that \"require repairs.\" \"These areas are a very small part of the massive 7-acre project, and do not indicate a failure of the liner,\" the company said. \"These repairs can not be made until the pool is drained. As soon as it's feasible for the park, the pool will be drained and AIC will be back to make those needed repairs as part of the warranty.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/reflecting-pool-paint-peeling-trump-proof-vandalism-court/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Kathryn Watson","publishDate":"2026-06-23T12:43:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2Fcf4bb686-8c42-42ce-baf9-0d8c923c5886%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F4ee0ec96c88f05bfab99349fcdee771b%2Fap26173605666918.jpg","slug":"trump-says-proof-of-his-allegations-that-vandals-cut-reflecting-pool-paint-will-be-provided-in-court"},{"id":"8kcrcq","title":"Vice President JD Vance back in US after peace talks with Iran","excerpt":"\"Trust me, I've spent a lot of time dealing with the Iranians over the last few months.

He was 94. His publicist said Davis died peacefully at his home in Manhattan on Monday of age-related illness, surrounded by his family and loved ones. Davis, a five-time Grammy Award winner, played a key role in furthering the work of artists across genres — R&B, jazz, rock, country and hip-hop, as well as some of pop's biggest stars.\"To the world, our father was the iconic music legend whose vision, instincts, and relentless pursuit of excellence shaped the soundtrack of countless lives,\" his family said in a statement. \"He discovered, mentored, and championed the greatest artists in modern music history, leaving an indelible mark on culture that will endure for generations.\"\"To his family, Clive was Dad and Granddaddy, the steady presence at the center of our lives, the source of wisdom, strength, encouragement, and unconditional love,\" his family said. \"No matter how extraordinary his professional accomplishments, he never lost sight of what mattered most: the people he loved.\"Clive Davis attends the pre-Grammy Awards gala honoring industry icons in Los Angeles on Jan. 31, 2026\n \n Leon Bennett\n\n Born in Brooklyn in 1932, Davis lost both his parents when he was a teen. He learned an early lesson, as he told \"CBS Sunday Morning\" in 2011: \"There was no substitute for hard work. You had to earn it. I earned every scholarship that I had to get me through law school as well as college.\"Davis, who graduated from New York University and Harvard Law School, had no real training in music and began his career as a lawyer. \"I was plucked out of a law firm to become chief lawyer for Columbia Records three years out of law school. I did that for five years,\" Davis told \"CBS Mornings\" co-host Gayle King in 2022. He became head of Columbia Records in 1967.Davis said he never thought he would have a \"musical ear,\" but he was widely credited as one of the greatest hit-makers — signing some of the biggest names in the business, including Simon and Garfunkel, Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Patti Smith, Billy Joel, and Earth Wind and Fire. His roster later included top artists like Notorious B.I.G., Alicia Keys, Luther Vandross, Rod Stewart and many more.\"I do know when I hear a hit song. And so Simon and Garfunkel, [I'll] never forget that when they played me 'Bridge Over Troubled Water,' I said, 'That has gotta be the first single,'\" Davis had told CBS News, adding that \"it was so classic\" and his favorite song.Singer-songwriter and music producer Narada Michael Walden, who was credited for some of Whitney Houston's greatest hits, including \"How Will I Know\" and \"I'm Every Woman,\" remembered Davis as a lover of music.\"[Davis] was a perfectionist and very giving of nature to open the doors to people like myself who also love music and want to really bring music up,\" Walden said in an interview with CBS News. \"I'm so delighted I had the chance to work with Clive all these years.\" When asked what it was about Davis that made him have a knack for talent, Walden said, \"He loved to, I will say, to meditate. Close his eyes and just envision what will be a hit around the world. He had a gift for that ... He was really in touch and excited like a kid to bring new music to the world.\"Davis was ousted from Columbia Records after a few years when the company accused him of mismanaging funds, which Davis denied. He also faced tax evasion charges and had to pay a $10,000 fine, the Associated Press reported.Davis went on to become founder, president and later chairman and CEO of Arista Records. He was also founder and CEO of J Records, chairman of the RCA Music Group, and, most recently, worldwide chief creative officer at Sony Music Entertainment, according to the statement from his publicist. \"Davis was not only one of music's most prolific hitmakers, innovators and developers of artistic and executive talent ever, he was one of the record industry's first and most impactful advocates for Black artists,\" the statement said.Musician David Foster said the secret to Davis' success was mutual respect. \"He's completely artist-friendly and the artist always comes first,\" Foster previously told CBS News.Manilow said Davis was an inspiration to him and to everyone in the music business.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/clive-davis-dies-age-94-music-executive/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-23T00:53:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2F9db1f7f8-c4d7-431a-bb1f-7fc051746f52%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F213bbba5d250559659da98db9790c8a2%2Fgettyimages-2259328694.jpg","slug":"clive-davis-legendary-music-executive-dies-at-age-94"},{"id":"16k7d2","title":"Cajun Navy rescues North Texas youth baseball team in Mississippi","excerpt":"Volunteers with Cajun Navy 2016 safely evacuated members of the Parker County Pickles youth baseball team after rapid floodwaters threatened their Mississippi Airbnb during a tournament.","content":"Volunteers with Cajun Navy 2016 safely evacuated members of the Parker County Pickles youth baseball team after rapid floodwaters threatened their Mississippi Airbnb during a tournament.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/cajun-navy-rescues-north-texas-youth-baseball-team-mississippi","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Dionne.Anglin@fox.com (Dionne Anglin)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T22:03:50.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fv-fw-baseball-team-mississippi-rescue-5p_00.00.00.00.jpg","slug":"cajun-navy-rescues-north-texas-youth-baseball-team-in-mississippi"},{"id":"43a0i5","title":"World Cup sticker craze takes off in North Texas","excerpt":"For more than five decades, the Panini World Cup sticker album has been a cherished World Cup tradition for soccer fans around the world.

Now, with Dallas Stadium hosting so many matches, it appears the craze is taking over in North Texas. At Soccer City in Richardson, World Cup Panini World Cup sticker albums and packs had been flying off the shelves. \"It is insane!\" store manager Alexis Quintana said. \"It has been a really cool experience.\" For as long as she can remember, the store manager said she's been a collector. \"Most definitely, I did start with my dad when I was younger,\" she said. \"It has brought us together. We watched the games, we do the books. I kind of get to know some of the players.\" Fans buy packs featuring players, team crests, stadiums, and tournament cards. Then they try to fill every spot in the album. This year's edition is the biggest ever, with close to 1,000 stickers.Every pack of stickers is random, so collectors end up with duplicates. That's where sticker swaps come in.\"We had one here a couple weeks ago here at the store,\" Quintana said. \"Very cool experience. It brought a lot of people into the store.\" \"I like collecting the France ones because I support them and what is most exciting about it is when you find good players,\" Neriah Mofor said. It's not just kids joining the hunt. \"It's been pretty crazy trying to find them,\" Denise Gonzalez said. \"We're trying to dig through all the stores and find all these Coke bottles everywhere, but it's been really hard to find them.\" Soccer City recently sold out of its inventory and now, another shipment is on the way.

appeal of his murder conviction and 35-year sentence in the death of Austin Metcalf.Almost two weeks ago, Anthony filed a notice of appeal less than 24 hours after a jury found him guilty of murder in the fatal stabbing at a Frisco track meet last year, according to Collin County court records. A jury in Collin County sentenced Anthony to 35 years in prison on June 9. Following the 35-year prison sentence, Collin County District Attorney Greg Willis said \"justice was served\" and praised jurors, prosecutors, witnesses and the family of Austin Metcalf.According to the announcement, Anthony's appeal team will include Russell Wilson with the Law Office of Russell Wilson II; Gary Bledsoe with the Bledsoe Law Firm PLLC and President of the Texas NAACP; Michael L. Ware with the Law Office of Michael Ware; Brooke Cluse with Ben Crump Law; Sean Daredia with the Daredia Law Firm, and Justin A. Moore with Stafford Moore PLLC.\"Our appellate team has been retained following the conviction to conduct a fresh, independent review of the trial record,\" the group said in a statement. \"We recognize the profound loss suffered by one young man's family and the uncertainty facing another, and we extend our respect to everyone whose lives have been forever changed by these events.\"Our responsibility is to determine whether a legal error occurred and to ensure that every issue supported by the record is fully and vigorously presented on appeal.\"The appellate process exists for precisely this purpose.\"Attorney Mike Howard represented Anthony during the murder trial. Last week, evidence from the murder trial was released to the public by the Collin County judge who presided over the case, Judge John Roach. It was the first time the public had the opportunity to see the still images and video, as no cameras were allowed inside the courtroom during the trial.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/civil-rights-attorneys-karmelo-anthony-appeal-pro-bono/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"S.E.

An eastbound SUV on I-30 then collided with the cargo. Four people were in the SUV, including two children, ages 5 and 12.

Garrett said those interviews further supported findings that campers were instructed to shelter in place and that staff members were never trained on specific flood emergency procedures.\n\n\n\n“Nobody had any idea what they needed to be doing, and so, it crippled them,” Garrett said. “It was such a tragic disservice to these people that they were starved of information.”\n\n\n\nAmong the findings in the 115-page report, investigator Michael Massengale said the absence of a written evacuation plan left Camp Mystic employees dependent on decisions made by camp director Richard Eastland.\n\n\n\nAccording to the report, Eastland directed campers to shelter in place rather than move to higher ground. Eastland later died when the Chevrolet Tahoe he was driving was swept away by floodwaters. Eleven campers and two counselors also died.\n\n\n\nMany families who lost daughters in the flood attended Thursday’s hearing in Austin.\n\n\n\nMissy Peck, whose 8-year-old daughter Eloise Peck was among those killed, shared a statement with NBC 5 following the hearing.\n\n\n\n“The Peck family extends our sincere gratitude to the General Investigating Committee, members of the Senate and House, and especially expert investigators Casey Garrett and Michael Massengale, along with their colleagues Heather McFarlane and Kim Parks, for their tireless efforts, professionalism, and commitment to uncovering the facts and bringing these details to light,” Peck said.\n\n\n\nState Rep. Morgan Meyer, whose district includes the Park Cities and many of the families affected by the tragedy, said the report should serve as a roadmap for future safety improvements.\n\n\n\n“It passes to every agency, every camp, every official and every member of this Legislature who now knows what we know,” Meyer said. “We will honor the lives lost, not with words alone, but by making certain Texas is ready the next time the water rises.”","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/camp-mystic-report-no-evacuation-plan-flood/4038498/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"David Goins","publishDate":"2026-06-18T18:37:35.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2Fcamp-mystic-1.png%3Ffit%3D859%2C483%26quality%3D85%26strip%3Dall","slug":"camp-mystic-report-finds-no-evacuation-plan-before-deadly-flood"},{"id":"qeid1b","title":"Overturned 18-wheeler releases at least 24 million honeybees, forcing Texas neighborhood lockdown","excerpt":"A Texas neighborhood was placed on lockdown after an 18-wheeler carrying up to two million honeybees overturned, unleashing massive swarms across the area, authorities said.","content":"A Texas neighborhood was placed on lockdown after an 18-wheeler carrying up to two million honeybees overturned, unleashing massive swarms across the area, authorities said.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/overturned-18-wheeler-releases-least-24-million-honeybees-forcing-texas-neighborhood-lockdown","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T14:27:50.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox26houston.com%2Fwww.fox26houston.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fmillions-of-bees-in-tx-from-queen-bee-supply-llc-5.jpg","slug":"overturned-18-wheeler-releases-at-least-24-million-honeybees-forcing-texas-neighborhood-lockdown"},{"id":"gcj2nc","title":"‘A healing environment’: Southlake hospital opens new patio -

Attractions include a Minions area with a water ride, SpongeBob SquarePants’ Bikini Bottom featuring a splash pad, DreamWorks’ TrollsFest, Jurassic World Adventure Camp with a climbing ropes course, and Shrek’s Swamp.\n\n\n\nPark leaders say the experience was designed not only for children but also for the adults accompanying them.\n\n\n\n“We designed every aspect of Universal Kids Resort with Kids in mind and their grownups,” Molly Murphy, president of Universal Creative, said. “There are hundreds of our team members who’ve worked so hard to make this day. And then July 1, it comes to life. And our vision is our first regional theme park designed specifically for kids. And it’s great to see it come to life. And one thing I’ve been reiterating to people is it’s aimed for the littles, but also the adults that are bringing their littles here.”\n\n\n\nJust steps away from the park is a new 300-room hotel designed for families. The property features themed guest rooms, dining options, and a pool. Hotel reservations are filling quickly, with the first guests scheduled to check in on June 30.\n\n\n\nOfficials say the combination of the theme park and hotel is expected to make Universal Kids Resort a destination for both out-of-town visitors and North Texas families looking for a summer staycation.\n\n\n\nTickets and hotel packages are already on sale for the summer season. While special preview days scheduled for next week have sold out, tickets remain available for the park’s grand opening week.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

In April, the president launched an effort to address the pool's \"terrible\" condition, part of a slate of spring cleaning projects in Washington, D.C., ahead of the nation's 250th birthday — as Mr. Trump seeks to put his architectural stamp on the city. Mr. Trump had the pool's stone flooring coated with a sealant he called the \"latest and greatest filament\" and an \"industrial-grade\" variation of swimming pool liner. He told reporters he personally chose the sealant's color: \"American Flag Blue.\" Federal contracts for the project were valued at more than $14 million.But several days ago, after water was pumped back in, a sheen of green algae appeared.A family of ducks swims among algae in the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 16.\n \n Photo by Emily Alff/Sipa USA via AP Images\n\n A Department of the Interior spokesperson told CBS News last weekend the algae outbreak was \"part of the normal startup process\" and would be cleaned out shortly.\"What you are seeing is residual algae from the supply lines which have been sitting dormant for eight weeks while construction has been taking place,\" the spokesperson said. \"President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who has fixed the Reflecting Pool for good unlike the failed and extremely costly attempt by Obama and Biden.\"Workers were seen in recent days removing algae from the Reflecting Pool, and on Tuesday morning, crews dumped bottles of hydrogen peroxide into the water.\n \n This morning at the reflecting pool pic.twitter.com/uygkbcn7Mn— bob kovach (@bkovoDC) June 16, 2026\n\n\n \n\nNational Park Service employees remove algae from the bottom of the newly painted Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on the National Mall on June 16.\n \n Mehmet Eser/Anadolu via Getty Images\n\n A white plume of \"ozone nano bubbles\" is put into the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool as it is cleaned of algae on June 16.\n \n AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin\n\n The Department of the Interior said on social media Wednesday that the water is now \"crystal clear,\" and workers were \"vacuuming up the dead algae.\" Moving forward, the agency said it is using an advanced tool called a \"nanobubbler\" to prevent algae from reappearing in the Reflecting Pool.Then, on Thursday, a tear was spotted in part of the material that was applied to the floor of the pool. CBS News has reached out to the Department of the Interior for more information.Seen through algae-laden green water, a tear in the recently applied sealant can be seen on the bottom of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool on June 18.\n \n Chip Somodevilla / Getty Images\n\n In a Truth Social post Friday night, Mr. Trump alleged, without providing evidence, that three days prior, vandals had \"destroyed the grass outside of the Pool\" and had \"also done everything possible to hurt the inside surface that was just installed.\"Mr. Trump went on to say in his post Friday that \"[t]he algae is 75% gone, and the condition will soon be completely remedied, and the area that was vandalized, fortunately, is just a small area of damage, and will be fixed early next week.\"The Trump administration's renovations mark the second time in less than 20 years that the Reflecting Pool was overhauled, following a more than $30 million project early in the Obama administration. Despite those efforts, the pool still faced algae blooms and needed to be emptied out periodically to clean out algae, goose droppings and other detritus.Mr. Trump vowed in April to make the Reflecting Pool \"beautiful\" and \"the way it's supposed to be.\" At one point, when workers were installing the new sealant, the president rode in his motorcade onto the dried-out pool floor — which is the length of about 12 Olympic-sized swimming pools — and inspected the job. It's the latest renovation project in and around D.C. spearheaded by the Trump administration. The president's team also repaired fountains throughout the city, tore down the White House's East Wing to make way for a ballroom, attempted to close the Kennedy Center for renovations, and drew up plans for a gigantic triumphal arch across the river from the capital in Virginia.The real estate developer-turned-politician has taken a personal interest in many of the projects, displaying mock-ups and speaking at length about the plans during White House events.Mr. Trump and his administration have cast the renovations as much-needed efforts to beautify national landmarks they argue were neglected for years. Critics, however, have called some of the projects self-aggrandizing and accused Mr. Trump of making dramatic changes without getting permission from Congress or input from the public. Several of the projects drew lawsuits, and a judge blocked the administration from closing the Kennedy Center or renaming it to add Mr. Trump's name.The newly refurbished Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is contaminated by algae, as seen from the Washington Monument on June 17.\n \n AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/lincoln-memorial-reflecting-pool-sealant-rips-algae-trump/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Joe Walsh","publishDate":"2026-06-20T02:53:00.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F18%2Fd96a5f26-0d54-4d77-bca4-d7b9fc75ca1c%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F212f95b632e35300545d445ec777087d%2Fgettyimages-2282235731.jpg","slug":"rips-appear-in-reflecting-pools-new-sealant-chosen-by-trump-after-algae-bloom-turn-water-green"},{"id":"r57esr","title":"Messi, Argentina take over Dallas Stadium for World Cup group stage game","excerpt":"Lionel Messi leads Argentina into Texas after dominating Algeria Tuesday night.

A new filing in Dallas County court alleges that the gas company's negligence caused the explosion that left three people dead and others injured, and families without homes.Attorneys filed the lawsuit on behalf of Eric Peters, who was working from home in his second-floor apartment in The Clyde when the explosion happened on May 28. Peters regained consciousness among the rubble and surrounded by flames, the lawsuit says. He was able to escape but \"suffered physical injuries and profound psychological and emotional damages,\" according to the lawsuit.The lawsuit claims that Atmos had responded to nine service calls in the area between January of 2025 and May of 2026, where crews identified old orange gas pipes made of material prone to leaks. Gas pipes of the same orange plastic were found at the site of a March gas explosion in Lake Dallas.On five occasions in the two months leading up to the explosion, the lawsuit alleges that Atmos crews \"failed to stop the leaks or replace any of the pipe. Rather, when the crew removed the old gas meter off the back of the building, they exposed the end of Atmos Energy's service line that runs under The Clyde from the street — thus revealing that it was the dangerous orange pipe. Then, with full knowledge that orange pipe was under The Clyde, the crew simply connected a new meter and left the orange pipe leaking.\"Lawsuit: Atmos did not properly mark gas line before drillingThe explosion at the Clyde happened as a subcontractor was drilling for soil samples on the property. According to the lawsuit, Atmos responded to an 811 request to mark its underground infrastructure two days before the explosion that included GPS coordinates of the planned drilling sites. Atmos did not mark the correct sites, the lawsuit alleges, and the drill struck the gas line about two feet below the concrete.Plaintiff asks judge for order to preserve evidenceMonday's lawsuit also asks the judge to order Atmos to preserve evidence from the site of the explosion. Atmos has done extensive repair work in the neighborhood around The Clyde since the explosion, and the plaintiff's attorneys say they want to make sure things like gas meters, valves and pipes are preserved ahead of a trial. The filing says that attorneys for Atmos would not agree on a protocol to preserve the evidence, and asks the judge to impose one.Monday, the judge granted the temporary restraining order, which requires Atmos to preserve any evidence related to the case and investigation.Atmos says it's supporting NTSB investigationAtmos released the following statement to CBS News Texas:\"Atmos Energy's service line to the Clyde Apartments was struck on May 28th by Barba Drilling, a third-party drilling company unrelated to Atmos Energy. Claims that the type of pipe involved in the incident at the Clyde Apartments was an orange pipe sometimes referred to as \"Poly 1\" are false. \"Poly 1\" pipe was installed only in the years 1970 and 1971, and this type of pipe was not present at the incident site. A professional line location and damage prevention company contracted by Atmos Energy performed locating services prior to the incident. Atmos Energy is continuing to support the National Transportation Safety Board and other authorities to ensure a thorough investigation. The safety of our communities and employees is our first priority. Our hearts go out to the people who were lost, their families, and everyone who has been impacted.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/dallas-apartment-explosion-atmos-oak-cliff-lawsuit/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Steven Rosenbaum","publishDate":"2026-06-23T01:00:51.000Z","category":"business","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F05%2F28%2F86ec8077-b713-44c5-b93a-0cc45187a6d0%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F966a36a2b179ba3f335db1234a06fcc0%2Ftoc-052826-13-41-1219.jpg","slug":"dallas-apartment-explosion-victim-files-1-billion-lawsuit-against-atmos"},{"id":"wi8x0q","title":"Fort Worth Zoo celebrates Messi, World Cup with Argentinian armadillo","excerpt":"The Fort Worth Zoo is marking today's World Cup match at the Dallas stadium with its own Argentinian star.

The plaintiffs in the case had argued that the Trump administration turned that tool into a \"searchable national citizenship data system\" that draws from records held by the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security.Sooknanan said that the court fight raises two fundamental rights that aim to protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote. And she said the record in the case demonstrated that the federal agencies that created the clearinghouse knew it violated privacy protections put in place by Congress decades ago.The judge wrote that the Trump administration \"flunked compliance\" with the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act and the Administrative Procedure Act by \"haphazardly\" combining and repurposing \"the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable.\"The data bank was created by several federal agencies in response to an executive order signed by President Trump last year that sought to impose a new proof-of-citizenship requirement for those registering to vote. The order directed DHS and the SSA to create a database that would effectively allow state and local officials to verify citizenship or immigration status of individuals trying to register to vote. The executive order drew several legal challenges, and key provisions have been blocked.Still, the directive triggered the overhaul of the SAVE system, which was modified to include the records of natural-born citizens, to access records from the SSA, including Social Security numbers, and to permit bulk searches of records by entities that use the database.In response to the administration's efforts to pool Americans' data, the League of Women Voters, the Electronic Privacy Information Center and five individuals sued DHS, the SSA and the Department of Justice, arguing that the consolidation of Americans' sensitive records from multiple agencies was unlawful.The plaintiffs said that since the SAVE system was modified, states had partnered with the federal government to run their voter registration lists through the database and purged people who were incorrectly identified as noncitizens from their voter rolls.The Trump administration had defended its use of the SAVE system, which has been used since 1986, as a \"clear congressional directive to break down information silos between government agencies.\" The administration argued that the suit should be dismissed because DHS had the authority to modernize the database.Justice Department lawyers told the court that only a small number of naturalized voters may have inaccurate citizenship data in SSA records. But Sooknanan called the argument a \"red herring\" and said the dissemination of inaccurate information about citizenship status is defamatory, in part because it implies that those who were improperly removed from voter rolls violated a federal prohibition against noncitizen voting.She said the Trump administration's \"arguments to the contrary border on the absurd.\"The judge said the overhauled system and related notices from DHS and the SSA were \"contrary to law, arbitrary and capricious, in excess of statutory authority, and without observance of procedure required by law.\"The decision can be appealed to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. It was cheered by one of the organizations representing the plaintiffs in the case as an \"important victory for the American people and our democracy.\"\"The data at the heart of this lawsuit was unlawfully consolidated in violation of privacy laws intended to protect sensitive personal information,\" Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, said in a statement. \"We are honored to work alongside the plaintiffs and co-counsel in this case, and are grateful that the court has acted to protect people and our elections every day and especially during our nation's 250th anniversary year.\" ","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/judge-trump-database-save-system-voter-rolls/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Melissa Quinn","publishDate":"2026-06-22T19:08:36.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2Ffb18ec89-44ec-4b2c-bab1-181f5a9a7c99%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F6a968cc0c0e9cba96737b608cfa14a78%2Fgettyimages-2281869644.jpg","slug":"judge-blocks-trump-administrations-overhauled-database-of-americans-personal-information"},{"id":"haleu0","title":"Texas to spend $8 million to fix errors in controversial Bluebonnet curriculum in school","excerpt":"Texas is spending over $8 million in taxpayer dollars to fix thousands of text and image errors in its controversial, state-published \"Bluebonnet\" school curriculum.","content":"Texas is spending over $8 million in taxpayer dollars to fix thousands of text and image errors in its controversial, state-published \"Bluebonnet\" school curriculum.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-spend-8-million-fix-errors-controversial-bluebonnet-school-curriculum","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Joseph.Rowe@fox.com (Joseph Rowe)","publishDate":"2026-06-23T02:58:20.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2Fp-david-bluebonnet-curriculum-fix-costs-9p_00.00.32.06.jpg","slug":"texas-to-spend-8-million-to-fix-errors-in-controversial-bluebonnet-curriculum-in-school"},{"id":"u952si","title":"World Cup watch parties for Mexico, USMNT games around North Texas","excerpt":"It’s the second weekend of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and North Texas has watch parties for the Mexico and the USMNT games.\n\n\n\nFC Dallas is holding a World Cup watch party for the Mexico versus South Korea game on Thursday, June 18, at 8 p.m. Former Mexican national team players are expected to att...","content":"It’s the second weekend of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and North Texas has watch parties for the Mexico and the USMNT games.\n\n\n\nFC Dallas is holding a World Cup watch party for the Mexico versus South Korea game on Thursday, June 18, at 8 p.m. Former Mexican national team players are expected to attend the event at Simpson Plaza in Frisco.\n\n\n\nThe Arlington entertainment district will also host a watch party at Texas Live!

The winner would lock in a spot in the knockout round – the same applies to the winner of Mexico versus South Korea tonight.\n\n\n\nWeston McKennie, who is from Little Elm, started in the midfield and was an instrumental part in the USMNT’s decisive win over Paraguay 4-1. In just the seventh minute of that match, a move made by McKennie and U.S. forward Christian Pulisic resulted in an own goal by Paraguay. McKennie spent time in the FC Dallas Youth Academy; he currently plays for Juventus. Pulisic was subbed off at halftime.\n\n\n\nAustralia delivered one of the surprises of the tournament, beating Turkiye in Vancouver. Turkey dominated possession (72%) and had a 30-9 advantage in total shots, but goalkeeper Patrick Beach stopped all eight attempts on target as Australia secured a clean sheet. The Socceroos were stout up the middle and found goals from both of their wide midfielders.\n\n\n\nAustralia, like the U.S., was eliminated in the round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup, falling to eventual champion Argentina. The Socceroos are 23rd in FIFA’s latest world ranking, while the U.S. is 15th. But the Americans could be without star Christian Pulisic against Australia. Pulisic was subbed off at halftime against Paraguay due to a calf injury, and he hasn’t taken part in the full team training activities this week.\n\n\n\nThis will be the first-ever meeting between the U.S. and Australia on the World Cup stage, and the match comes with both countries battling for the top spot in Group D. The U.S. currently holds the tiebreaker for first over Australia thanks to a superior goal differential.\n\n\n\nThe match will be played at Seattle Stadium, home of the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks, at 2 p.m. CST. \n\n\n\nThe U.S. and Australia met in an October friendly, which saw the Yanks come back for a 2-1 win. The Americans were playing a back three, but Mauricio Pochettino did not have Tyler Adams. The coach also did not start Folarin Balogun, Malik Tillman, or Tim Ream.\n\n\n\nThe USMNT’s final group stage game is on June 25 against Turkiye back in Los Angeles at 9 p.m. CST. Turkiye plays Paraguay on Friday, June 19, at 10 p.m.\n\n\n\nShould the U.S. advance, the round of 32 then follows from Sunday, June 28, to Friday, July 3.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/world-cup/usmnt-looking-to-seal-place-in-knockout-round-with-win-over-australia-friday-afternoon/4038161/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"Eric Mullin and Charles Nichelson","publishDate":"2026-06-18T08:24:23.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F06%2FGettyImages-2280623365.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8640%2C5760","slug":"usmnt-looking-to-seal-place-in-knockout-round-with-win-over-australia-friday"},{"id":"8xpu2f","title":"Dallas weather: Storm threat passes; heat index threatens match day activities","excerpt":"A severe thunderstorm watch and a 106-degree heat index threaten Monday match-day activities in DFW, kicking off a week of heavy rain and storm risks across North Texas.","content":"A severe thunderstorm watch and a 106-degree heat index threaten Monday match-day activities in DFW, kicking off a week of heavy rain and storm risks across North Texas.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-weather-severe-thunderstorm-watch-argentina-austria","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Ali.Turiano@fox.com (Ali Turiano)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T18:28:14.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F726145692_1054899550239165_6324919608662801402_n.jpg","slug":"dallas-weather-storm-threat-passes-heat-index-threatens-match-day-activities"},{"id":"tyrj2v","title":"WNBA to expand to 50-game schedule for teams next season","excerpt":"NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA is expanding its schedule to 50 games per team next season — the most in the league’s 30-year history.\n\n\n\nThe new collective bargaining agreement that was ratified earlier this year allows the league to play up to 50 games for the next two seasons.

There can be up to 52 regular-season games in 2029 and for the rest of the CBA.\n\n\n\n“Demand for the WNBA has never been greater, and expanding to a 50-game regular season reflects the extraordinary momentum we are seeing across the league,” WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said in a statement.\n\n\n\n“This move reflects our commitment to growing the game and creating more opportunities for fans to watch the best players in the world and experience the extraordinary talent and competition that define the WNBA.”\n\n\n\nThe league is playing 44 games again this season. Over the next few seasons, the WNBA is adding three new teams through expansion. Cleveland is joining in 2028, Detroit in 2029, and Philadelphia in 2030. Connecticut is moving to Houston next year.\n\n\n\nWhen the league first started in 1997, teams only played 28 games. That’s grown over the past three decades, except in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.\n\n\n\nEngelbert has said she’d love to play games overseas starting next season. The league expanded its footprint to Canada this year with the addition of the Toronto Tempo — the first WNBA franchise outside of the United States.\n\n\n\nThe WNBA has added a lot of new TV and streaming partners over the past few years, including ION, USA Sports, NBC, and Amazon, to go along with ESPN and CBS.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/wnba/wnba-to-expand-to-50-game-schedule-for-teams-next-season/4038143/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"DOUG FEINBERG | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-18T07:24:20.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2019%2F09%2F052116_Wnba_Wings_CJ_1200x675_690388035807.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D1200%2C675","slug":"wnba-to-expand-to-50-game-schedule-for-teams-next-season"},{"id":"rznbyq","title":"Judge blocks Trump admin's overhauled database of Americans' personal information","excerpt":"A federal judge blocked the Trump administration from using a revamped citizenship data program to purge people from voter rolls.

In the Nest doorbell camera video taken at Nancy Guthrie's home, he was wearing a face mask, gloves and a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack, the FBI said. Guthrie was reported missing on Sunday, Feb.1, after not showing up for church, and the sheriff said it appeared she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Her family has been pleading for her return, and the sheriff says they have been cleared of any involvement.Savannah Guthrie and her two siblings have appealed directly to whoever may have taken their mother. The FBI said it was taking two emails seriously, including what appeared to be a ransom note with a demand for payment in bitcoin. Here is a timeline of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance and the investigation. Jan. 31: Nancy Guthrie last seenNancy Guthrie was last seen on Saturday night, Jan. 31, authorities said. She arrived at her daughter Annie's home at 5:32 p.m. She dined there and was dropped off at her own home after dinner at around 9:48 p.m. She was dropped off at home by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni. Police say he waited until Nancy Guthrie was inside before driving off.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference Thursday that her garage door closed at 9:50 p.m., at which time authorities assume Nancy Guthrie was home and going to bed. Feb. 1: Not at churchA doorbell camera at Nancy Guthrie's home disconnected at 1:47 a.m., and software detected someone, or possibly an animal, on a camera about 25 minutes later, Nanos said. He said at the time the video wasn't available. Guthrie's pacemaker app showed a disconnect from her phone at 2:28 a.m. On Sunday morning, a friend called Guthrie's family, telling them she had not shown up for church. They notified the sheriff's department around noon that day, minutes after checking in on her. Once police arrived at the home at 12:15 p.m, they determined Nancy Guthrie was missing under \"concerning\" circumstances.Guthrie has limited mobility and relies on daily medication for her health, officials have said. That prompted an urgent search for her to begin.Feb. 2: Sheriff says \"I believe she was abducted\"Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed on Monday that her disappearance was being treated as a crime, and urged neighbors to review home video camera footage. \"We saw some things at the home that were concerning to us,\" Nanos told reporters. \"We believe now after we've processed that crime scene that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime, and we're asking the community's help.\"He told CBS News he believed Guthrie was \"abducted\" in the middle of the night.\"I believe she was abducted, yes,\" Nanos said. \"She didn't walk from there. She didn't go willingly.\"A missing person's flier from the sheriff's department described her as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, with brown hair and blue eyes and weighing 150 pounds.Wanted poster released by the FBI in the search for Nancy Guthrie.\n \n FBI\n\n Feb. 3: Ransom note and blood at sceneOn Tuesday, authorities said they were analyzing an apparent ransom note with details about what the 84-year-old was wearing on the night of the crime. The note demanded payment in bitcoin.\"We are aware of reports circulating about possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie,\" Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a social media statement. \"We are taking all tips and leads very seriously. Anything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.\"They were also looking at what appeared to be drops of blood outside the front door. A law enforcement source also told CBS News some was also found inside the house.The blood found outside Nancy Guthrie's home has been confirmed to be hers, Nanos later said, adding that investigators were awaiting results from additional samples.Authorities said surveillance video from the home had led nowhere, and there was still no suspect.\"Nothing has come up that says, 'Here he is, here's your bad guy,'\" Nanos told CBS News on Tuesday.Feb. 4: Video appeal from Savannah GuthrieAuthorities said that investigators still had not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case.\"Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie,\" the Pima County Sheriff's Department said on social media.That night, the FBI was back at Nancy Guthrie's home, using canines to search as they worked to track down every lead. Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie released an emotional video pleading for her mother's return and saying her family is \"ready to talk.\"Savannah Guthrie, with her siblings Annie and Camron, speaks in a video message addressing anyone who might be holding their mother, Nancy Guthrie, in a video released Feb. 4, 2026. \n \n Savannah Guthrie via Instagram/via REUTERS\n\n \"We live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her,\" Savannah Guthrie said in the video with her two siblings, addressing a possible captor or captors. \"We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.\"Savannah Guthrie said her mother's health and heart are fragile. \"She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer,\" Savannah Guthrie said.She also addressed her mom directly, saying: \"Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God's precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, mommy, everywhere. We will not rest, your children will not rest, until we are together again.\"Around the same time that video was released, President Trump said on social media that he spoke with Savannah Guthrie \"and let her know that I am directing ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family's, and Local Law Enforcement's, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY.\"\"We are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely,\" he posted.Feb. 5: \"Still out there\"Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference Feb. 5 \"We believe Nancy is still out there.\" He also said that as of late morning local time, authorities had not identified a suspect or a person of interest.A ransom note that investigators said they're taking seriously included a deadline of 5 p.m., Heith Janke, the special agent in charge of the FBI's field office in Phoenix, said at the news conference. \"If a transfer wasn't made, then I think a second demand was for next Monday,\" Janke said. He wouldn't provide details about what the note said would happen if the demands weren't met.Separately, an alleged impostor was arrested for making a phony ransom demand in the case, Janke said.Authorities are continuing to ask for the public's help and urging anyone with possible information to contact them. The FBI announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's recovery or the arrest and conviction of people involved in her disappearance.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos exits the press room past a missing person poster after giving an update on the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie in Tucson, Arizona, Feb. 5, 2026.\n \n Reuters/Rebecca Noble\n\n \"It only takes one tip, just one, to break the case open, to offer that lead that we so desperately need in this case,\" chief of detectives for the Pima County Attorney's Office, Fabian Pacheco, who oversees one of the tip lines, told CBS News in an interview that aired on \"CBS Mornings.\" He said about 10% of leads have value.Anyone with information is being urged to call (520)-882-7463.In a video posted to Savannah Guthrie's Instagram account the evening of Feb. 5, her brother Camron Guthrie made another appeal for the return of their mother.\"Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you,\" Camron Guthrie said. \"We haven't heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact.\"Feb. 6: Authorities say they're \"aware of a new message\"A second message was sent to CBS News' Tucson affiliate KOLD. The station said it would not release details about its contents, citing respect for the family and the investigation.Local and federal authorities said they're \"aware of a new message\" regarding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.\"Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity,\" the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a post on social media. The FBI also posted a similar statement on social media. It's unclear what kind of message it is.In another social media post just after 4 p.m. local time, the sheriff's department said investigators were \"conducting follow-up\" at the home of Nancy Guthrie and \"surrounding areas.\"FBI agents removed a camera from the roof of Nancy Guthrie's home and towed a dark-colored SUV from her garage. Feb. 7: Savannah Guthrie says \"we will pay\" for Nancy's safe returnSavannah Guthrie and her two siblings posted a new video to social media on Feb. 7 that appeared to be directed at the alleged abductor or abductors, in which she acknowledged having \"received a message,\" and said that the Guthrie family would be willing to pay to see the safe return of Nancy Guthrie. \"We received your message and we understand,\" Guthrie said in the short video, appearing alongside her siblings Annie and Camron Guthrie. \"We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.\" An FBI spokesman said Savannah Guthrie was referring to the message sent to KOLD the day before, The Associated Press reported. A few hours after the video was released, investigators went to the home of Nancy Guthrie's daughter Annie, where she had dinner the night before she disappeared. They were there for about 2.5 hours and focused primarily on the garage of the home.Two law enforcement sources told CBS News that investigators were \"developing good information\" but that \"nothing is imminent.\"Feb. 8: Detectives back at the sceneSheriff detectives were at Nancy Guthrie's home on Sunday, Feb. 8, focusing on the property's perimeter along the backyard. Investigators also searched what appeared to be a septic tank in the backyard.Feb. 9: Savannah Guthrie pleads for public's helpA second ransom deadline was looming as the search for Nancy Guthrie entered its second week. CBS News has learned investigators are canvassing nearby gas stations in an effort to track down any suspicious vehicles captured on surveillance cameras around the time Nancy Guthrie went missing.A sheriff's deputy will now be stationed outside Nancy Guthrie's home, around the clock, for security purposes. In the afternoon, Savannah Guthrie issued a plea for the public's assistance, saying the family is \"at an hour of desperation and we need your help.\" \"Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to bring her home, trying to find her,\" Savannah said of her mom. \"She was taken and we don't know where, and we need your help.\" She asked the public, \"even if you're far from Tucson,\" if someone sees or hears anything, or \"if there's anything at all that seems strange to you,\" to report it to law enforcement.The FBI reiterated that the agency has not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case so far. Anyone with possible information on Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is asked to call 520-882-7463. Feb. 10: Surveillance images released; person detained hours laterFBI Director Kash PateI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department in Arizona posted surveillance images and video of a subject in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, showing a masked person wearing a backpack and gloves at her door.The FBI said law enforcement agencies were able to recover data of the previously inaccessible images from the home security camera system.Two of the images released by the FBI of a subject seen on surveillance video in the Nancy Guthrie case.\n \n FBI\n\n The images show an armed individual appearing to tamper with the camera at her front door on the morning Guthrie went missing. A 27-second video shows the person approaching the front door and raising a gloved hand to the camera before walking away. A 14-second video shows the person facing the camera and holding a flashlight in their mouth before covering the camera lens with some vegetation. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News the man in the images is considered a subject that they were seeking to identify. Savannah Guthrie reacted to the images, writing on social media: \"We believe she is still alive. Bring her home.\" Hours later, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said a subject had been detained during a traffic stop south of Tucson and was being questioned in connection with Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The person was taken into custody following a traffic stop in Rio Rico, Arizona, a small community located just north of the Mexican border, two sources familiar with the investigation told CBS News. Pima County Sheriff's investigators, with the assistance of the FBI, were searching the Rio Rico residence of the person of interest, the sources said. The sheriff's department did not specify if the person detained was the same person seen in the videos.Feb. 11: \"I didn't do anything,\" man saysA man who says he was the person of interest being questioned in the kidnapping has been released. The man, who only wanted to be identified as Carlos, spoke with reporters outside his home in Rio Rico, Arizona, saying he was shocked when he got pulled over, and doesn't know who Guthrie is or why law enforcement thought he might be connected to her disappearance.\"I didn't do anything. ... I'm innocent,\" he said. Authorities haven't confirmed Carlos was the person of interest or that the person of interest has been released. Meanwhile, a woman in Rio Rico, Josefina Maddox, told reporters her son-in-law was the person of interest but had \"nothing to do with it.\" There was no confirmation of her assertions.Maddox also told reporters outside a home authorities were searching that the home is hers. She said \"they're just invading my property\" and that \"we're not hiding anything. ... You won't find anything because we don't have nothing to hide.\"Angelica Carrillo, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff's Department, told CBS News early in the day that Nancy Guthrie still hasn't been found.Feb. 12: FBI releases first description of suspect, investigating glovesAuthorities released the first physical description of a male suspect wanted in connection with Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. The suspect is described as having an average build and an approximate height of 5-foot-9 or 5-foot-10, the FBI said. He was carrying black-colored 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack, which could be seen in the doorbell camera video from Nancy Guthrie's home, the FBI said.The FBI says the masked figure seen on Nancy Guthrie's Nest doorbell camera was carrying a black 25-liter \"Ozark Trail Hiker Pack\" backpack like the one seen at right.\n \n FBI\n\n The FBI said it also doubled its reward to $100,000 for information leading to either the location of Nancy Guthrie, and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.Earlier, a pair of black gloves was found as investigators continued their search of the area, sources close to the investigation confirmed to CBS News. The gloves will be tested for DNA.Video from the New York Post shows investigators picking up one of the gloves from the side of a road, reportedly about a mile and a half from Nancy Guthrie's home in Arizona. The glove appears to resemble those worn by the person who was captured on security video outside Guthrie's home.Feb. 13: Second residence searchedLaw enforcement agencies, including a Pima County Sheriff SWAT team, descended on a residence less than 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home the night of Feb. 13.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS affiliate KOLD that the activity was the result of following up on \"a lead that led to a search warrant and no arrest.\"Nanos told KOLD that a traffic stop was made on a person of interest and that the individual was cooperative and later released.Feb. 15: Glove found appears to match video, contains DNAThe black glove found near Guthrie's home contains DNA evidence and appears to match the gloves worn by the suspect seen in a doorbell camera video, the FBI said.The FBI said it received preliminary results of DNA testing on Feb. 15, and was waiting on confirmation before putting what it called \"the unknown male profile\" into CoDIS, the FBI's national database for matching DNA profiles — a process it said usually takes about 24 hours.It was one of approximately 16 gloves collected by investigators in various areas near the house, but most of those gloves belonged to searchers who discarded them while working the area, according to the FBI.\"The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video,\" the FBI said in a statement.Feb. 16: Clues from mask and clothing; \"signal sniffer\" deployed; Guthries cleared as suspectsAll members of the Guthrie family and their spouses have been cleared as suspects in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said.\"The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,\" he said, and suggesting otherwise \"is not only wrong, it is cruel.\"In other developments, investigators believe the clothing and face mask worn by a suspect seen in home security video footage were likely bought at Walmart, either at a brick-and-mortar store or online, Nanos told CBS News.Walmart sells a mask that looks very similar to the mask worn by the man in the doorbell camera video. It is believed to be black, but it looks lighter in the footage because of the Nest camera's infrared technology, according to Nanos.The FBI previously said the suspect was also carrying a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack in the video. CBS News first reported that the backpack is sold exclusively at Walmart. Nanos called the backpack \"one of the most promising leads\" in the case.Investigators have been reviewing surveillance video footage from local Walmart locations, Nanos said. The company has provided authorities with records of all Ozark Trail Hiker purchases from the past several months, according to the sheriff.A spokesperson for Walmart declined to comment.Investigators have also deployed a device that could detect signals emitted from Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker, law enforcement sources told CBS News. The high-tech tracking tool, called a \"signal sniffer,\" has been mounted on a helicopter and may help detectives pinpoint her location, the sources said. Signal sniffers are often used in missing person cases because they can detect low-power electronic signals, such as those emitted by a pacemaker.Feb. 17: No DNA match from glovesThe DNA profile of an unknown male that was recovered from gloves found about 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home did not return a match from a national database maintained by the FBI, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said. The glove appeared to match the ones a suspect was seen wearing in video captured by Nancy Guthrie's Nest doorbell camera. The profile was submitted to the database known as CoDIS, or Combined DNA Index System. The sheriff's department said in a statement that there have been no confirmed CoDIS matches in the investigation at this point. The DNA database could have provided a match if the individual had a previous arrest for certain crimes and supplied a DNA sample that put him into the system.Additional DNA evidence that was found at Guthrie's home was also being analyzed, the sheriff's department said.CBS News also learned that the FBI is probing gun purchases in the Tucson area. According to the owner of an area gun store, an agent came in about a week or so earlier and showed him several images with faces and names on them. Agents inquired about purchases in the last year. The owner said there were several names and images on the sheets, but doesn't remember a specific number of people listed. CBS News agreed not to name the store owner due to privacy concerns. Feb. 18: Investigators not ruling out possibility of accompliceInvestigators have not ruled out that an accomplice aided the suspected kidnapper seen in the doorbell camera video outside Nancy Guthrie's home. The video recovered from Nancy Guthrie's Google Nest doorbell camera was the only video that Google had been able to recover from the cameras at Guthrie's home as of Feb. 18, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. There are additional cameras from the property that engineers were still working through as they try to recover usable video. Investigators were hopeful that tech companies working on the videos would uncover more, according to the sheriff's department.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS News partner network BBC News in an interview that he believes Guthrie is being held close to her home.In Mexico, the nonprofit Madres Buscadoras de Sonora, which helps locate missing people in the northwestern state that borders Arizona, said it had been contacted by a family member of Nancy Guthrie, who asked the organization to help in the search.The country's federal security agency and the prosecutor's office and public security agency in Sonora told CBS News they have not been contacted to assist in the investigation. Feb. 19: No indication Nancy Guthrie is in MexicoLaw enforcement sources told CBS News that the FBI has been in touch with the Mexican government and Mexican law enforcement regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie; however, officials said they have no evidence to suggest she is there.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said there was no indication Guthrie was taken into Mexico, but noted that doesn't necessarily mean that an investigation in the area has not been launched.Attorney General of the State of Sonora Gustavo Rómulo Salas Chávez said, \"We have no information to suggest that this person is in Mexican territory, specifically in Sonora.\"Carlos Flores, the commissioner general of Mexico's Criminal Investigation Agency, said \"The FBI informed us that they currently have no leads to suggest that this person could be in Mexico.\"Feb. 23: Suspect had been to the house before the night of Guthrie's disappearance, source saysThe masked suspect seen in the doorbell camera video appears to have been at Nany Guthri's front door earlier than Feb. 1, the night police believe she was kidnapped, a law enforcement source confirmed to CBS News. One of the images the FBI released of the suspect outside the 84-year-old's front door shows him without a backpack. That image was captured by Guthrie's Nest doorbell camera sometime prior to the date of the suspected abduction. It was unclear how many days before Feb. 1 the video of the man without a backpack may have been taken.Two images of a masked man seen on Nancy Guthrie's Nest doorbell camera, at left without a backpack, and at right with a backpack on Feb. 1, the night of her suspected abduction.\n \n FBI\n\n The Pima County Sheriff's Office said in a statement, \"There is no date or time stamp associated with these images. Therefore, any suggestion that the photographs were taken on different days is purely speculative.\"Feb. 24: Family offers additional $1 million rewardSavannah Guthrie announced that the family is offering an additional reward of up to $1 million for any information leading to Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts. In a video posted to Instagram, she said they \"still believe in a miracle\" and hold out hope their mother will be found, but also acknowledged that she \"may be lost.\"\"She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves,\" Guthrie said.\"Someone out there knows something that can bring her home,\" she said in the video. \"Somebody knows, and we are begging you to please come forward now.\"Feb. 26: FBI moves command post in investigation from Tucson to Phoenix, source saysThe FBI is moving its command post in the Nancy Guthrie investigation from Tucson, Arizona, to Phoenix, a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation told CBS News.The transition is being done because the large Phoenix command post will be able to operate more efficiently for the long term and most of the agents who have been working on the investigation in Tucson are based in Phoenix, the source said.The investigative squads, evidence recovery teams and SWAT teams will all remain in Tucson as they are assigned to the FBI's Tucson office, which is a large satellite office.The investigation is still running at full speed, the source said.March 4: Sheriff's department says gloves found near Guthrie home belonged to restaurant workerDNA from gloves found about 2 miles away from Nancy Gunthrie's Arizona home was traced back to a local restaurant worker who has no connection to the investigation, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said March 4.\"Sheriff [Chris] Nanos stated in a recent interview that the black gloves found approximately 2 miles away from Nancy Guthrie's home were traced back via DNA analysis to a person who works at a restaurant in the area. That person is not considered part of this investigation,\" a department spokesperson told CBS News in a statement. \"Lab analysis remains underway on other DNA evidence.\" A black glove was found near Nancy Guthrie's home on Feb. 11, and days later, the Pima County Sheriff's Department said a DNA profile from the gloves that were submitted to a national database maintained by the FBI didn't come back with any matches. The FBI said at the time that the suspect seen in the doorbell camera video appeared to be wearing similar gloves.March 25: Savannah Guthrie gives first interview since mom vanished, says family is in agonySavannah Guthrie made a tearful plea for someone \"to do the right thing\" in her first interview about her mom's disappearance.\"We are in agony. We are in agony,\" an emotional Guthrie told her former \"Today\" show co-host Hoda Kotb in a clip of the interview. \"It is unbearable, and to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought.\"The Guthrie family has urged people in southern Arizona to review camera footage, journal notes and text messages for any possible leads in the case. In the interview, Savannah Guthrie renewed her plea for anyone with information about her mom to step forward.\"Someone needs to do the right thing,\" she said through tears. She also said, \"I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now.\"March 27: Savannah Guthrie says she plans to return to \"Today\" showSavannah Guthrie said in her interview with \"Today\" show co-host Hoda Kotb that she plans to return to the show \"because it's my family.\"\"It's hard to imagine doing it because it's such a place of joy and lightness and I can't come back and try to be something that I'm not,\" she said. \"But I can't not come back, because it's my family. I think it's part of my purpose right now.\"After the interview, Kotb announced that Guthrie would return to the anchor desk starting Monday, April 6.May 12: 100 days and countingOne hundred days since Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, the painstaking process of DNA analysis continued, but there were few public signs of progress in the investigation.\"It would be highly inappropriate of me to speak to the evidence. We have to keep the integrity of this case. If we make an arrest, that individual has the right to a fair trial, [so] I can't sit here and address all of that,\" Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS News. \"We are working hard with all of our partners to resolve this case, and we will.\"June 22: Sources shed light on ransom notesAuthorities believe the two ransom notes addressed to Nancy Guthrie's family days after her disappearance — including a note that said she had died — were likely sent by the person or group of people who abducted her, according to investigators familiar with the case. Investigators believe that the same person or people sent both notes and that both were likely sent from the same computer IP address.The first note demanded millions in bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie's release. In the second note, sent a few days later, the apparent abductors revealed that she had died. The note indicated that they did not mean for her to die, according to sources who reviewed the notes.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/timeline-nancy-guthrie-disappearance-as-search-intensifies/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jonathan Vigliotti","publishDate":"2026-06-22T23:19:22.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F02%2F02%2F4f99a4e3-ce6e-416d-840b-d47e8310461a%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fb202c0ab23656a2cc4e6063c00b7d3dd%2Fgettyimages-1258716875.jpg","slug":"a-timeline-of-nancy-guthries-disappearance-as-search-for-savannah-guthries-mom-continues"},{"id":"9c1sxq","title":"Vice President JD Vance says progress being made in talks with Iran after Texas Senators express concerns with Memo of Understanding","excerpt":"Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Iran would allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, describing the first day of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland as \"Very, very good.\" His comments come as Texas' two Republican Senators have expressed concerns publicly about the Memorandum of ...","content":"Vice President JD Vance said Monday that Iran would allow nuclear inspectors back into the country, describing the first day of U.S.-Iran negotiations in Switzerland as \"Very, very good.\" His comments come as Texas' two Republican Senators have expressed concerns publicly about the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to end the war with Iran. The MOU gives the regime a way to have its economic sanctions lifted, the ability to sell its oil on the world market and potentially get hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild its country.Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, expressed his reservations to reporters in Washington late last week but reminded them that he supported President Trump's war against Iran. \"I believe he has delayed the Iranian regime's ability to get a nuclear weapon, which is very, very important,\" Cornyn said. \"But my hope would have been that he would have finished the job and basically eliminated that threat.\"Sen.Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also praised the president for deciding to bomb Iran but questioned the MOU. \"History demonstrates that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea, and I think the president is receiving some really bad advice on this deal,\" Cruz said. \"I don't want to see us send a penny to the Ayatollah, and I hope that we don't.\"CBS News poll finds few Americans say U.S. got better of agreement with IranDespite the bombings against Iran, a new CBS News Poll finds most people don't believe the U.S. has succeeded in completing one of its objectives: eliminating Iran's ability to make a nuclear weapon. Anthony Salvanto, CBS News Executive Director of Elections and Surveys, told CBS News Texas, \"This looks like a lot of unfinished business to members of the public because almost seven in ten say they don't think the U.S. has permanently ended Iran's nuclear program.\" The vice president spoke with reporters on Monday about progress that he said is being made. \"We have the Iranians allowing weapons inspectors, nuclear inspectors into their country for the first time in a long time,\" said Vance. \"We're obviously going to bolster that inspection regime to make sure they can never have a nuclear weapon.\"Salvanto said rising gas prices have fueled the war's unpopularity. \"A big part of that is frankly gas prices, and you'll recall people have been telling us throughout that the increase in gas prices has really hit them financially pretty hard,\" said Salvanto. \"In fact, the more they say that, the more they want to see the conflict end.\" But prices are going down after the MOU announcement. \"We set up the mechanism to ensure not only the Straits of Hormuz are open but will stay open,\" Vance said. \"We saw, we think about 15 million barrels of oil come out. That's one of the reasons why oil is so low right now. Obviously, that means lower gas prices and gas prices are going to keep coming down.\" While Vance said there has been a lot of progress, he also said there is still a lot of work to do.

Application fees to ask USCIS to reconsider a citizenship request denial would jump by $645. The plan would also eliminate fee waivers for citizenship cases, as well as a fee reduction option for immigrants whose household income is at or below 400% of the federal poverty line. Fee exemptions for service members seeking citizenship would remain in place.The changes won't take effect immediately, since they're part of a proposed regulation that still has to undergo further steps in the federal government's rulemaking process. The public will be allowed to submit comments for or against the changes over a 60-day window.In its plan, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees USCIS, said the fee hikes are necessary to fully subsidize the processing of citizenship applications, especially in light of Trump administration efforts to more heavily scrutinize applicants. Unlike most federal agencies, USCIS is largely funded by the fees it charges.DHS noted prior administrations kept citizenship application fees relatively low, compared to other benefits, to \"promote citizenship and integration.\" But officials said the Trump administration is adopting a different strategy.\"Although DHS has historically limited the fees for (citizenship-related applications) to fulfill previous administrations' priorities of encouraging naturalization, DHS no longer believes naturalization benefit requests should get lower fees at the potential expense of other immigration benefits,\" the agency said in its proposed regulation.DHS said in a statement Monday that \"[t]he purpose of the proposed rule is to periodically adjust fees to recover the full cost of their adjudication,\" arguing \"the current fees established under the previous administration fail to cover the cost of necessary screening and vetting checks under President Trump's Executive Orders.\" Doug Rand, a former senior USCIS official during the Biden administration, questioned the rationale behind the proposed fee hikes.\"The only credible explanation for jacking up citizenship fees in isolation is that Trump 2.0 is in a hurry to create even more undue barriers for legal immigrants,\" Rand said.The U.S. government has long encouraged legal immigrants to complete the citizenship process, known formally as naturalization. Typically, those eligible for U.S. citizenship are legal permanent residents who have had a green card for three or five years, depending on their cases.Citizenship applicants generally must pass an English and civics test, and fulfill other requirements, such as lacking any serious criminal history.As part of its immigration crackdown, the second Trump administration has sought to restrict and tighten access to legal immigration benefits, including by adding more layers to the vetting process. For citizenship applications, the administration has moved to more aggressively probe a requirement that applicants demonstrate a \"good moral character.\" It has also resumed a long-dormant practice, known as neighborhood checks, to speak to the neighbors and coworkers of those requesting citizenship.The Trump administration has escalated efforts to denaturalize foreign-born American citizens accused of obtaining their citizenship illegally or through fraud, including by concealing criminal conduct on their applications.

Messi nearly had the record earlier in the game, but he missed a penalty kick wide right, leaving the crowd stunned.The goal came two days before Messi's 39th birthday and amid the concern of an ailing father back at home. It was the sixth consecutive World Cup game in which Messi has scored a goal.\"There were moments when I was really angry about missing the penalty, but I was able to make up for it,\" Messi said. In the waning seconds of injury time, Messi extended his record by sending a shot through several defenders after Schlager turned away his first attempt. He entered the game even with Germany striker Miroslav Klose, who scored 16 goals over four World Cups from 2002-14.Messi added another goal in the stoppage time, sealing the victory for Argentina and securing a place in the knockout round.Messi was only in position to set the record on Monday because he netted his first career FIFA World Cup hat trick in Argentina's opening game against Algeria.

Most of those fans were wearing Messi's familiar No. 10 jersey with white and blue stripes, dwarfing the small pockets of red-clad Austrian supporters under the retractable roof that offered air-conditioned comfort on the second day of what is sure to be another hot Texas summer. The scoring record came 40 years to the day since Maradona's \"goal of the century\" - another No. 10 who made a solo run from the other side of midfield to give Argentina a two-goal lead in a 2-1 victory over England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals in Mexico City. Argentina went on to win the title. Messi joined Just Fontaine and Jairzinho as the only players to score in six straight World Cup games. Argentina extended its winning streak in the tournament to eight since a shocking loss to Saudi Arabia in its 2022 opener in Qatar. Messi has scored all five of Argentina goals in the tournament and has 12 World Cup goals since turning 35. The eight-time Ballon d'Or winner as soccer's best player in Europe had his first World Cup hat trick in Argentina's 3-0 win over Algeria in its Group J opener last week in Kansas City. Austria, which opened with a 3-1 victory over Jordan, can advance with a win over Algeria on Saturday in Kansas City.Fans in North Texas could have another chance to see Messi add to his record on Saturday if he takes the pitch as Argentina takes on Jordan at 9 p.m. for the final match of the Group Stage.

That person spoke on condition of anonymity because the process for conducting the supplemental draft wasn’t complete.\n\n\n\nThe deadline for applying for the draft is Monday, but there were still procedural issues related to a Texas district court’s temporary injunction that had cleared the way for him to play for Texas Tech this fall.\n\n\n\nSorsby, who is from the Dallas area, would have to be ineligible from NCAA play to be able to apply for the NFL’s supplemental draft. That rarely used draft would be completed at least a week before the start of the first training camp in late July.\n\n\n\nThe temporary injunction issued June 8 by a Lubbock County court prevented the NCAA from blocking the quarterback’s eligibility for what would have been his final college season. That would have to be dropped to make him ineligible again.\n\n\n\nThe NCAA had declared the 22-year-old Sorsby permanently ineligible after he admitted to making thousands of bets worth at least $90,000 during his time at three different schools. His college career began at Indiana, before playing for Cincinnati the past two seasons, and then transferring to the reigning Big 12 Conference champion Texas Tech in January.\n\n\n\nThose bets included at least 40 bets on Indiana while he was a freshman there in 2022, though none on the game in which he played for the Hoosiers that season.\n\n\n\nThe June 22 deadline for entering the supplemental draft was among the key factors that led to the decision Monday for Sorsby to pursue the pros rather than move forward with the legal process that had gotten more uncertain.\n\n\n\nSorsby filed suit against the NCAA on May 18. The case was heard on June 1 in the 99th District Court in Lubbock County, where Texas Tech is located, and he was granted the temporary injunction against the NCAA on June 8. The NCAA and the Big 12 went to different courts this week.\n\n\n\nThe NCAA on Monday asked a Texas appellate court for an emergency motion to stay the injunction, and for a resolution of the case before the start of Texas Tech’s season. The Big 12 went to federal court seeking an order to back its ability to use its bylaws for possible sanctions against Texas Tech if Sorsby had played this season.\n\n\n\nSorsby, who never took a snap for Texas Tech, played in 35 college games, 24 at Cincinnati the past two seasons after 11 at Indiana the two seasons before that. He threw for 7,208 yards with 60 touchdowns and 18 interceptions while completing 594 of 968 passes (61.4%). He ran 320 times for 1,295 yards and 22 more scores.\n\n\n\nAt Cincinnati last season, he threw for 2,800 yards and 27 TDs while running for 580 yards and nine touchdowns. He ranked third in the Big 12 with 281.7 total yards per game.\n\n\n\n___\n\n\n\nAP Pro Football Writer Schuyler Dixon contributed to this report.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/brendan-sorsby-plans-july-workout-for-nfl-teams-before-supplemental-draft-ap-source-says/4038140/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"STEPHEN HAWKINS | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-18T07:18:48.000Z","category":"schools","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2026%2F04%2FGettyImages-2258369743.jpg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D4200%2C2800","slug":"ap-source-sorsby-plans-july-workout-for-nfl-teams-before-supplemental-draft"},{"id":"8e7gzt","title":"Dallas man convicted after 17k fentanyl pills seized","excerpt":"Joshua Burton, 30, faces up to life in federal prison after a Dallas jury convicted him of conspiring to distribute more than 17,000 fentanyl pills.","content":"Joshua Burton, 30, faces up to life in federal prison after a Dallas jury convicted him of conspiring to distribute more than 17,000 fentanyl pills.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-man-convicted-after-17k-fentanyl-pills-seized","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Amber.Kite@fox.com (Amber Kite)","publishDate":"2026-06-22T16:24:57.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F07%2F6eb23e0b-gavelnew.jpg","slug":"dallas-man-convicted-after-17k-fentanyl-pills-seized"},{"id":"ywmbhv","title":"Argentina fans pack Texas Live!

Sitting tied atop Group J with three points each, if the match does not end in a draw, the winner will clinch a spot in the knockout round. Kickoff in Arlington is set for noon.

Prior to that, Argentina won the cup in 1978 and 1986.Seven other countries have won the cup: Brazil, Germany, Italy, France, Uruguay, England, and Spain.

Messi, who also plays for Major League Soccer club Inter Miami CF, is the Argentina national team's leading scorer and is renowned for the records he has set in his expansive career.Messi, who will turn 39 years old this week, could very well make FIFA World Cup history.

One more goal would set a new record.Austria's World Cup outlookAustria has not yet brought home a FIFA World Cup title, but there is plenty of history on the pitch for the team; Austria has qualified on a total of eight occasions. The furthest Austria has gotten was third place in 1954 at the fifth cup in Switzerland. Before that, Austria made it to fourth place in the second-ever cup in 1934, hosted in Italy.For the 2026 cup, Austria has gotten off to a strong start, defeating Jordan 3-1 in San Francisco less than a week ago.

He greeted Air Force officials and delivered remarks to a crowd of service members.\"There will never be one like this. This is very unique. This is considered the world's most luxurious plane,\" the president said. \"When it was built, it was built at a level that will probably never be seen again.\"President Trump speaks after touring the newly designated Air Force One presidential aircraft at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland on Friday, June 19, 2026.\n \n AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta\n\n Mr. Trump said the hangar in which he was speaking had to be specially constructed to house the new jet, which is much larger than the previous plane. He added later that the new version will lead a massive flyover of Washington on July 4, the nation's 250th birthday.The Air Force said in a release that the aircraft will soon begin embarking on \"commissioning flights,\" its \"final exam\" before it can be used to transport the president.The new Air Force One plane, in a photo released by the Air Force.\n \n Air Force\n\n Another view of the new Air Force One.\n \n Air Force\n\n \"Fresh from receiving its new red, white, and blue livery and the final government modifications, the aircraft has entered service to provide critical, secure continuity for the commander in chief,\" the Air Force said.The release said the plane is \"safe, secure and equipped with the most advanced technologies necessary to meet the requirements of the presidential mission.\" The Air Force said it prioritized operational readiness over aesthetics, leaving the \"interior layout minimally changed.\" That likely means the luxury finishings, leather seats and glossy wood paneling will remain intact. The Air Force said it leased a 747-8 last year so pilots and maintenance crews could begin training on the new model. The training mission also included the purchase of a 747-8 that had been flown by Lufthansa. Taxpayers were also on the hook for \"a full three-dimensional mock-up of the interior\" so officials could \"begin familiarization training\" ahead of the Qatari plane's arrival, the Air Force said. The plane will replace the military-grade 747-2 that has served presidents for more than 30 years. Mr. Trump arrived home from Europe on Thursday morning on the old jet, and White House staff posted farewell tributes to the aging plane on social media.Mr. Trump has rejected criticism that accepting a gift plane from a foreign government presents a conflict of interest or a security risk. The administration has spent the last year retrofitting the Qatari jumbo jet for presidential use.\"Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done,\" Mr. Trump posted on Truth Social last year. \"Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country.\"The president has said the Qatari jet would be used until a new fleet of Boeing planes are delivered to the Air Force in 2028. As for the planes being taken out of the presidential rotation, an Air Force spokesperson said they \"will soon join the active executive airlift fleet,\" which is used by senior members of the government for official travel. A new Boeing 747-8 is valued at about $400 million, the New York Times reported last year. Retrofitting the aircraft for the presidential fleet was also expected to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. The secretary of the Air Force told a House panel last year that the price tag for retrofitting would be \"probably less than $400 million.\"","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/air-force-one-new-plane-trump-qatar/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Arden Farhi","publishDate":"2026-06-20T00:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F19%2Ff4624be5-a32b-4406-90f1-cdf305abb28e%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8fc2a16620f9e53c732aae38c90cbb47%2Fap26170718799441.jpg","slug":"trump-unveils-new-air-force-one-a-400-million-plane-gifted-by-qatar"},{"id":"3yz1gu","title":"Messi chases World Cup history in Dallas as Argentina faces Austria","excerpt":"The soccer legend is one goal away from World Cup history in Dallas.","content":"The soccer legend is one goal away from World Cup history in Dallas.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/video/messi-chases-world-cup-history-in-dallas-as-argentina-faces-austria/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-22T03:06:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets1.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F22%2F90c21829-4c86-424f-9590-17e0dd5e3f40%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F1e664ceb2dd764928021c71656a232e0%2Fd092b536f70558fdf0a361b6aa48243b.jpg","slug":"messi-chases-world-cup-history-in-dallas-as-argentina-faces-austria"},{"id":"rlxkwx","title":"Gov.

Abbott is seeking a fourth term, and during his speech to attendees, he criticized the top three Democrats on the statewide ballot this fall. \"The Austin woke agenda is on the ballot, literally, because most of the statewide Democrats running for office, they reside in the people's republic of Austin, and they govern like it. Well, that's not Texas. That's California. It's New York. It's Minnesota. But our job is to make sure that does not happen. Our job is to keep Texas, Texas this election.\" The governor said he wants to eliminate school property taxes on most homeowners, impose a further crackdown on violent offenders, protect the Texas grid by requiring data centers to generate their own power and water, and ban Sharia law in Texas. He also reminded Republicans of his record to secure the southern border and took a swipe at Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico. \"I got to tell you, Jimmy Talarico talks about six sexes,\" Abbott said. I have no idea what six genders Jimmy is talking about. We all know there are only two sexes. There's Jimmy, and there's Janet, and that's all there is.\" The Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Ken Paxton, laid out his vision to convention-goers. \"I'm running to lower your cost of living. I'm running to carry the torch for the America First agenda and pass the SAVE America Act,\" Paxton said.Paxton also blasted Talarico and his policies. \"If he wins, I can guarantee you this - he will not represent Texas values in Washington. He'll represent Chuck Schumer. He'll represent the radical trans activists,\" Paxton said. \"He'll represent the national Democrats and the same failed agenda that has crushed communities across America. Texas cannot afford that. America cannot afford that. If we lose Texas, you know what I'm going to say. We will lose America.\"After the Texas GOP held its convention, Paxton reportedly confirmed during a tele town hall last week that Republicans will hold a special midterm convention in Dallas in September and that President Trump will speak. Patrick Svitek of CNN quoted Paxton as saying, \"I know that we are having the midterm convention in Dallas in September. I know that we anticipate him coming to that and speaking.\" A source told CBS News Texas that Republicans have reserved the American Airlines Center for the first two weeks of September, but the RNC has not officially booked the venue just yet.

The series clincher was just the fourth victory for Texas in its past 20 meetings with San Diego.Nathan Eovaldi sparkled for five of his six innings after the Texas right-hander's start was pushed back a day because of left knee soreness. The fourth inning was a different story. Eovaldi allowed six hits and three runs right after Langford's three-run shot, which was the leadoff hitter's sixth homer of the season.Eovaldi (7-7) struck out a season-high nine, eight of those coming while he allowed just one hit and a walk in his other five innings.Peyton Gray pitched a perfect seventh, and rookie Robby Ahlstrom walked Manny Machado before getting pinch-hitter Miguel Andujar to ground into an inning-ending double play in the eighth.Jakob Junis allowed singles to pinch-hitter Fernando Tatis Jr. and Xander Bogaerts to start the ninth before finishing for his fifth save. Closer Jacob Latz had pitched in the first two games of the series.Gavin Sheets and Bogaerts had run-scoring singles to go with Sung-Mun Song's RBI double to get the Padres even. Sheets was thrown out at home on Bogaerts' hit, which scored Machado.Nicky Lopez, Langford and Jung had three consecutive singles to put Texas back in front in the bottom of the fourth against Lucas Giolito (2-3), who allowed all four Texas runs after entering in the second inning.Padres RHP Grant Holmes (4-3, 4.33 ERA) is set for the series opener at home against Atlanta on Monday. Rangers RHP Kumar Rocker (2-6, 4.17) is scheduled to open the series at Miami on Monday.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/rangers-win-4-3-against-padres0june-21-2026/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"CBS Texas","publishDate":"2026-06-21T23:49:10.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F21%2F47f91bfd-7a40-4c09-a771-2ebdbdae83ec%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F8d003e56039af0bf4336e14d16b9256b%2Fgettyimages-2282130719.jpg","slug":"wyatt-langford-hits-3-run-homer-as-rangers-win-4-3-to-end-6-series-losing-streak-against-padres"},{"id":"x9bs6v","title":"Klyde Warren Park swarmed by Argentina fans ahead of Dallas World Cup match","excerpt":"A large, high-energy crowd of ticketless Argentina fans gathered early at downtown Dallas' Klyde Warren Park for a vibrant pre-World Cup rally ahead of Monday's highly anticipated match against Austria.","content":"A large, high-energy crowd of ticketless Argentina fans gathered early at downtown Dallas' Klyde Warren Park for a vibrant pre-World Cup rally ahead of Monday's highly anticipated match against Austria.","url":"https://www.fox4news.com/news/klyde-warren-park-argentina-fans-world-cup","source":"FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth (KDFW)","author":"Dionne.Anglin@fox.com (Dionne Anglin)","publishDate":"2026-06-21T22:40:04.000Z","category":"parks","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.fox4news.com%2Fwww.fox4news.com%2Fcontent%2Fuploads%2F2026%2F06%2F062126-da-argentina-fan-meetup-5p-vo-sotvo-jb_kdfw_00.00.07.56.jpg","slug":"klyde-warren-park-swarmed-by-argentina-fans-ahead-of-dallas-world-cup-match"},{"id":"6295ub","title":"At least 5 injured in Dallas shooting overnight, police say","excerpt":"At least five people were injured in an overnight shooting in Oak Cliff on Sunday, Dallas police said.Around 4:30 a.m., police were called to a shooting in the 1400 block of Glen Avenue, where several people at a party had been shot, the report states.

(AP) — The comparisons with Tiger Woods began a few years ago when Scottie Scheffler, a Dallas-native, started to separate himself by miles over the rest of golf with alarming control of his shots from tee to green that resulted in big wins and a No. 1 ranking for more than three straight years.\n\n\n\nThe next comparison could come this week.\n\n\n\nNot since Woods has anyone completed the career Grand Slam in his first attempt, at least not in the modern era that dates to 1960 when it became a thing in professional golf.\n\n\n\nWoods took only 35 days between his epic 15-shot victory in the 2000 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach and his eight-shot victory in the British Open at St. Andrews.\n\n\n\nScheffler reached the cusp of the career slam when he overwhelmed yet another field at the British Open at Royal Portrush. Now comes the U.S. Open, the major he has played more than any other, and a Shinnecock Hills test that will be new to him.\n\n\n\nDoes he want to win? Without question. Does he need to? That goes a little deeper with Scheffler, who cares more about the process than the result.\n\n\n\n“For me, would it be a dream to win the U.S. Open? Of course,” Scheffler said Tuesday. “But at the end of the day, the Grand Slam has never been a motivating factor for me. I always just wanted to be the best version of myself, and that got me this far.”\n\n\n\nIt brought him two Masters titles in 2022 and 2024, the PGA Championship and British Open last year, all of them without drama when he walked up to the 18th green.\n\n\n\n“So when it comes to this golf tournament, I’m going to step on the first tee and remind myself I’ve done everything I possibly could in order to play well, and now it’s just a matter of going out there and trying to execute and going back to enjoying the competition versus feeling like you have to win for some reason,” he said.\n\n\n\nHe didn’t go as deep as he did at Portrush last year, when he delivered a remarkable soliloquy asking why he wants to win so badly when the joy lasts only a few minutes.\n\n\n\nBut it’s clear he relishes the challenge, and Shinnecock figures to be every bit of that.\n\n\n\nTuesday brought more wind, this time from a different direction, and there’s really no escaping it. Part of the genius of this William Flynn design is three sections of holes that form a triangle, ensuring players face a different wind for each of them.\n\n\n\nThe USGA has done its part to make sure it doesn’t get out of control, keeping the course as green and hydrated as possible in anticipation of a windy week.\n\n\n\n“I think it’s the best championship test in the country,” said Rory McIlroy, who last year at the Masters became only the sixth player to win the career Grand Slam. “I think it tests all aspects of the game — driving, iron play, you need to have your wits about you on the greens. It’s a lot of strategy, thoughtfulness.\n\n\n\n“Look, it’s a golf course where it can turn very quickly. You get a day like yesterday with a lot of wind and dry, clear conditions like this, and I think we’re just going to have to be mindful of that as the week goes on.”\n\n\n\nMcIlroy and Scheffler were at Shinnecock on the same day, June 1, for a sneak preview, both noticing wider fairways, even though McIlroy was the only one of them who was in the 2018 U.S. Open at Shinnecock, just not for long. He shot 80 the first day, 70 the next, and was on his way home.\n\n\n\nAdam Scott has his own love-hate relationship with Shinnecock. It’s among his favorite courses in the world, so much that he plays it often in social settings — he once set the course record of 63 in one such round — but missed the cut in the U.S. Open in 2004 and 2018.\n\n\n\n“I still love the golf course,” Scott said, who is playing his 100th consecutive major this week. “I think it’s as good as any test we have at the U.S. Open.”\n\n\n\nHe has played 15 U.S. Open courses during the streak.\n\n\n\nThis is the ninth U.S. Open for Scheffler — two of them as an amateur — with his closest call in 2022 at The Country Club, where he finished one shot behind Matt Fitzpatrick.\n\n\n\nBut he is the favorite, as is the case at every tournament he plays, even though this year has been one in which he has similar numbers, except for the trophies he has accumulated. His only victory was his first start of the year, The American Express in the California desert.\n\n\n\nThere were three straight runner-up finishes, including the Masters. He had an astonishing run of 18 consecutive top 10s end at Riviera in February. His worst result was a tie for 24th at Bay Hill.\n\n\n\nBut that one win was five months ago.\n\n\n\n“I’d say I feel like I’ve been close most of the year,” Scheffler said. “I feel like I just haven’t been as sharp as I needed to be. I think the margins in this game are so small. For me to be winning a lot of tournaments, you’ve got to just be really, really sharp.”\n\n\n\nOne week at Shinnecock can change that. And then for Scheffler, it would be on to the next one.","url":"https://www.nbcdfw.com/news/sports/scheffler-is-chasing-a-career-grand-slam-at-the-us-open-its-not-what-motivates-him/4038113/","source":"NBC 5 DFW (KXAS) Local","author":"DOUG FERGUSON | The Associated Press","publishDate":"2026-06-18T06:40:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.nbcdfw.com%2F2022%2F07%2FAP22196456366460.jpeg%3Fquality%3D85%26strip%3Dall%26fit%3D8640%2C5760","slug":"scottie-scheffler-is-chasing-a-career-grand-slam-at-the-us-open"},{"id":"54rbhq","title":"Jury selection scheduled to begin in Johnson County sheriff's criminal trial","excerpt":"Jury selection is set to begin on Monday in the criminal trial for Johnson County Sheriff Adam King.King is accused of retaliating against a female employee who filed a human resources complaint against him for sexual harassment.\n \n Johnson County\n\n ...","content":"Jury selection is set to begin on Monday in the criminal trial for Johnson County Sheriff Adam King.King is accused of retaliating against a female employee who filed a human resources complaint against him for sexual harassment.\n \n Johnson County\n\n He was arrested last August on charges of abuse of office and corrupt influence.

The non-profit Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center hosted a special event on Father's Day.From free haircuts to hydration kits, about 3,000 dads and bonus dads got the star treatment on Father's Day for a special event at Concord Church in south Dallas for the sixth annual He's My Hero Father's Day Photo Experience.They took in live music and then photos with their kids at different stations throughout the church.A caricature artist, a food truck and a barber helped dad feel his best. The event included three classic and sports cars for everyone to take in.Cuban's non-profit put on the event and mentors the next generation of young men and women. It provides basketball skills training from ages six to the semi-pro level, along with teaching skills such as etiquette, grooming and hygiene.\"I think it's just critical for dads to know that they're important, that we cherish them. We really appreciate all the sacrifice, all of the determination, the tenacity, the resilience that they have, and the things that they go through,\" Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center CEO Trina Terrell-Andrews said.\"Every man can make a difference, right? Every man can influence a child's life. Your niece and nephew. A young person in your community. We always need men to continue to answer that call.

Among the speakers to address attendees was State Representative Cassandra Garcia Hernandez, D-Farmers Branch. In an interview with CBS News Texas, Hernandez said the Latino vote will have a sizable impact on the midterm elections in November. \"I think Texas Latinos have a substantial impact, and Latinos have had an impact for a very long time,\" said Hernandez. \"But what we are seeing certainly across the nation, in all of these special elections and primaries that we have been seeing, there is a huge swing of Latino voters that in the past have voted predominantly more towards Republicans and favored Trump during his last re-election.\" \"What we're seeing is now the Latino community is swinging the other way,\" Hernandez added. \"That's because of a lot of policies that we're seeing, not just on the national level, but here in Texas, on the local level as well. Right here in Fort Worth, we were able to elect Taylor Remet in a very Latino district.\"In 2024, Trump won most of the counties along the southern border in Texas. But Hernandez said she believes those results would be different now. \"We were talking about the inflation going up. Homeowners' insurance, insurance in general, is going up, gas prices going up because of the war in Iran — all of those things,\" she said. \"They are finding it a lot harder, just like any other family and community, to make ends meet. So, what they were promised about essentially more of that economic lift up of the community, they're not seeing it.\" In addition to that, Hernandez said: \"They're seeing people around them who look like them essentially being rounded up and thrown into detention centers.\"Hernandez said the sentiments will end up helping Democrats in November. \"I absolutely believe that it will be a very good year for Democrats,\" she said. Last year, Texas Republicans redrew five Congressional Districts in the state to benefit their party in November. The U.S. Supreme Court allowed the maps to be used for the 2026 primaries and general election this year, but the legal case brought against the State of Texas remains ongoing in a lower federal court and may reach trial sometime next year. But Hernandez believes Democrats could win at least three of the five seats, including the 15th, 28th, and 34th Congressional Districts in South Texas. \"It is a very bold prediction, and I'm hoping that that will be the case based off the Latino vote,\" she said.In the 15th Congressional district, Republican incumbent Monica De La Cruz faces Democrat Bobby Pulido, a Tejano music icon. The Cook Political Report rates this race as \"Likely Republican.\" In the 28th District, Democratic incumbent Henry Cuellar faces Republican Tano Tijerina, a Webb County Judge. The Cook Political Report rates this race as \"Lean Democrat.\" In the 34th Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Vicente Gonzalez faces Republican Eric Flores, a former Assistant U.S. Attorney and a Texas Army National Guard Captain. This race is rated a \"Toss Up\" by the Cook Political Report.

The crowds remained energized long after the match ended, reflecting the tournament atmosphere that has spread well beyond the stadium.\n\n\n\nThe influx forced the Dallas pub to close on Wednesday at the order of the fire marshal, according to a social media post from the establishment.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Thank you to those of us who saw the mayhem that descended upon us and understand we did our very best to manage the situation. The sales are overinflated in reports and do not account for the destruction of our property and landscaping,” the business said on social media. “We are incredibly grateful for the business and have done our absolute best to manage it.” \n\n\n\nDallas police were also called to the Mockingbird location Tuesday night to the England World Cup fan party, during the Argentina-Algeria game. Police said they were called due to a large crowd, but there were no injuries reported and no criminal offenses, so they left shortly after.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor Stephanie Castle, who traveled from London, the experience in Addison was unforgettable.\n\n\n\n“Every time I watch them I feel so proud. I’m so proud to be English and now I’m here in a place like this where everybody else is cheering for the team as well and they deserve it,”said Castle.\n\n\n\nThroughout the match, fans erupted whenever England scored, with supporters crowding around screens and celebrating each goal together.\n\n\n\nGary Sylvas, bar manager at The Londoner, said the level of enthusiasm from England supporters has been remarkable.\n\n\n\n“These are fans that like sleep in the parking lot to get in the door its just a diff level of fanatical,” Sylvas.\n\n\n\nThe celebration at The Londoner was only one stop on a day filled with fan activity. Earlier, supporters gathered outside England’s team hotel in Dallas to catch a glimpse of players as they departed for the match.\n\n\n\nBy kickoff, The Londoner had reached capacity, and a line formed outside as additional fans tried to get inside.\n\n\n\nSeveral supporters said the atmosphere was as memorable as the match itself.\n\n\n\nAnother fan said sharing the experience with loved ones made the day even more meaningful.\n\n\n\n“I’m happy to be celebrating the game with my family bc they actually are my family,”said Castle.\n\n\n\nSylvas said the massive turnout has become the norm during the tournament.\n\n\n\nAsked about the most popular drink among fans, Sylvas said: “What’s the beverage of choice? I mean we’re going through a lot of Guinness.”\n\n\n\nTo accommodate the crowds, he said the pub hired additional staff for the next five weeks.\n\n\n\nWith alcohol sales doubling during the tournament, the World Cup has also become a major boost for business. But for many fans gathered in Addison, the focus remained squarely on supporting England and celebrating a victory with fellow supporters.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Investigators said Flores would have had to acknowledge that alert before operating the drone.\n\n\n\nInvestigators also said the drone was not registered. Flores now faces a federal charge for allegedly owning and willfully operating an unregistered drone.\n\n\n\nThe charge comes weeks after United States Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Ryan Raybould publicly warned drone operators about flying near World Cup no-fly zones.\n\n\n\nRaybould issued a direct warning to anyone considering violating the restrictions: “If you fly a drone over Dallas Stadium during the World Cup games, we will make swift use of our federal statutes to charge you.”\n\n\n\nRaybould said law enforcement officials must treat every unauthorized drone as a potential threat.\n\n\n\n“If you could put yourself in the shoes of law enforcement, we don’t know what payload is on that,” said Raybould. “As we look at the drone, we don’t know what the motive is, but these men and women out here and up here have to interdict that.”\n\n\n\nA second drone-related case has also surfaced in Houston. The Texas Department of Public Safety said a drone operator there ignored FAA regulations and FIFA World Cup temporary flight restrictions. That operator also faces federal charges.\n\n\n\nStatistics released by FBI Field Offices across the country show that more than 100 drones have been seized for violating flight restrictions around FIFA World Cup venues or events. Here’s a list of numbers from cities as of June 16:\n\n\n\n\nLOS ANGELES: At least 28 UAV (drone) seizures and 29 citations as of 6-17-26 around the Los Angeles Stadium or other World Cup events per the Los Angeles FBI Field Office.\n\n\n\nSAN FRANCISCO: Seeking official number.\n\n\n\nSEATTLE: At least five drones were seized from operators who violated flight restrictions around Seattle Stadium or World Cup events, per the FBI Seattle field office.\n\n\n\nATLANTA: At least 21 drones seized from operators at/near World Cup events, per FBI Seattle Field Office.\n\n\n\nDALLAS: At least 18 drones seized from operators at/near World Cup events, per FBI Dallas Field Office.\n\n\n\nHOUSTON: At least 12 drones seized from operators at/near World Cup events, per FBI Houston Field Office.\n\n\n\nKANSAS CITY: Seeking official number.\n\n\n\nMIAMI: At least 28 drones were seized, and 25 operators ticked around World Cup venues, per the Miami Field Office.\n\n\n\nNEW YORK/NEW JERSEY: No official number released.\n\n\n\n\nNot all FBI field offices, including New York and San Francisco, have released numbers, and not all are updated as the first round of games continue to be played, NBC Investigations said.\n\n\n\nThis story was originally reported for broadcast by NBC DFW.

Neighbors say she was getting home from work when she was caught in the crossfire.\n\n\n\nNia Hasan said her neighborhood was peaceful and quiet when she moved in about 10 years ago. But she said recently, things have changed at the Richland Trace Condominiums on Walnut Street.\n\n\n\n“Two days in a row and they’re shooting in the daytime,” Hasan said. “Yesterday was at 11 am. The day before that it was, the sun was still out. It was like after work, after school hours, five or six.”\n\n\n\nThe most recent shooting happened around 9 p.m. on Tuesday, hitting the young woman who was just getting home from work.\n\n\n\n“I heard the shooting,” Hasan said. “It was intense because we were kind of like right here in the circle, and apparently, the young lady was walking by and got hit by a load of the bullets. Sad. Very sad and emotional.”\n\n\n\nHasan didn’t know the woman by name, but said she was a friendly neighbor.\n\n\n\n“I see her every day in her work uniform, walking to work, coming home,” Hasan said. “She waves, speaks to everybody. She ain’t bothering nobody. Just one of those people you want as a neighbor.”\n\n\n\nOther neighbors didn’t want to talk on camera, but shared that they are also worried about the shootings and safety in the area. \n\n\n\nHasan said it scares her and her children.\n\n\n\n“My kids don’t want to go outside,” Hasan said. “They’re scared. I don’t feel safe. Because nothing’s directed at me, but bullets have no names.”\n\n\n\nHasan had this message for those doing the shooting.\n\n\n\n“Just put the guns down,” Hasan said. “Let’s figure it out another way. Like, it’s too much loss going on. It’s too many senseless people dying. We got to put all the weapons down and figure out another way.”\n\n\n\nDallas police would not provide any update on their ongoing investigation.\n\n\n\nThe condominium association said it had no comment on the shooting.\n\n\n\nDallas Police is asking anyone with information on this case to contact Detective F.

LC, held that people with disabilities are entitled to receive services in their communities, rather than an institution.\"The Olmstead decision itself said that why community integration is so important is so children can be part of their families, so they can go to school, so people can be part of their communities,\" said Alison Barkoff, a former DOJ attorney who was in charge of supervising Olmstead civil rights enforcement and now works as a professor at George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health. \"That's what's at stake with this re-interpretation of Olmstead.\"The Olmstead case was brought by two women with mental and intellectual disabilities who were each repeatedly institutionalized at facilities in Georgia because they could not get coverage for the support they needed to live independently at home.The Supreme Court held that the state had violated their civil rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Many in the disability rights community have considered the decision the civil rights equivalent of the famed 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, which found that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional.In its opinion on Thursday, the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel suggested that the DOJ's enforcement of the law has gone above and beyond what the Supreme Court intended. \"Over the past two decades, DOJ's Civil Rights Division (\"CRT\") has relied on its integration mandate and Olmstead to pressure states into discharging individuals from mental-health institutions,\" the opinion says. \"By threatening or bringing federal enforcement action, CRT has successfully elicited consent decrees, remedial orders, or out-of-court agreements in nearly a dozen states, obligating the participants to meet DOJ's deinstitutionalization benchmarks.\" The opinion added that the Olmstead opinion by the Supreme Court did not in fact impose any integration mandate. Rather, it says, the finding was narrower in scope and held that \"unjustified institutional isolation of persons with disabilities is a form of discrimination\" under federal law.CBS News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment on the new OLC opinion.The OLC's new opinion does not change the law, nor does it serve as any legal precedent. But it could fundamentally change the way both the Justice Department and the Department of Health and Human Services enforce allegations of discrimination by patients who received state-funded care.\"For decades, courts have recognized that people with disabilities have the right to live, work, and learn in their communities rather than being unnecessarily segregated from society,\" said Regan Rush, a former civil rights attorney at the DOJ who now serves as director of a Democracy Forward project called Red Line for Civil Rights. \"This opinion does not change the law, but it is a clear warning shot aimed at the legal framework that has protected those rights for decades and at the Department's longstanding role in enforcing it.\"The DOJ's new opinion Thursday marks the latest action in a series of efforts by the Trump administration to scale back civil rights protections and upend long-standing missions of the Civil Rights Division.Earlier this month, the OLC authored another opinion which held that \"disparate impact\" — a legal theory of discrimination that holds employers liable for discrimination for policies that disproportionately harm protected groups based on race, ethnicity or gender — is unconstitutional.Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, has also shifted the focus of enforcement efforts away from protecting historically marginalized groups such as people of color and members of the gay, lesbian and transgender communities.She has launched dozens of investigations into universities over allegations of unlawful race-based admission policies and created a new section within the division that is solely devoted to enforcing Second Amendment gun rights.Last year, Dhillon angered the disability rights community when she posted a photo of a hat she was knitting online and wrote: \"This hat is an hour behind schedule thanks to influencer retards.\" That word is widely considered to be an insulting slur against people with intellectual disabilities.

It comes after controversy erupted over the future of City Hall - whether city leaders should spend at least half a billion dollars in repairs or move out of the nearly 50-year-old, I.M. Pei-designed building and sell the land for redevelopment. Council members rejected the repair plan earlier this month and last week approved spending up to $3 million to begin negotiating with downtown property owners to potentially relocate city hall and other offices to their buildings. There's another controversy brewing, this one over the city's new nearly $4 billion convention center. After construction began, a costly redesign may be needed because the project's impact on two viaducts could hamper traffic into downtown from southern Dallas. Council members are set to vote next week on what to do. Former Mayors Tom Leppert and Laura Miller say the mayor needs to have more power and that the city manager form of government no longer works. \"The nub of the problem is that you've got six council members who don't even know what's going on, because the city manager doesn't even talk to them. And that's why we need to get rid of the city manager form of government,\" Miller told Jack Fink. Miller clarified that, \"the city manager can be the chief operating officer, but the city manager should be hired by the mayor. And answer to the mayor. And answer to the mayor and the council.\" She told Fink that currently, \"the city manager doesn't isn't accountable to anybody, which is why we're in the problem that we're in. You know, no city manager in my lifetime that I've been covering and serving in City Hall has ever been fired. Some should have been fired, but they weren't fired. There's never enough. There are never ten of 15 council members that pull the trigger and fire a bad city manager.\" \"I think it's time that we've got to reevaluate the governance structure,\" Leppert said to Jack in an interview. \"We need to look and see that it's not as effective as it needs to be, especially when we need to compete all across this nation and all across the world. I'll stop short of giving terms, terms attached to it, but I think, yes, the mayor has to be in a stronger position to basically identify a vision. Walk our entire populace there and have the tools to be able to accomplish that.\" This week's full episode can be found below:","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/laura-miller-tom-leppert-push-stronger-mayor-form-government-amid-dallas-city-hall-debate/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jack Fink","publishDate":"2026-06-21T12:57:00.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2Fd47ded9d-de0a-4648-9c1f-d56db4b277aa%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fd25ff50fbec965f48465ae97f83d195f%2Feop-episode-thumbnail-dallasmayors.png","slug":"laura-miller-tom-leppert-push-for-stronger-mayor-form-of-government-amid-dallas-city-hall-debate"},{"id":"mz0mhe","title":"Texas Senators Cruz, Cornyn express concerns over President Trump and VP Vance's Iran deal","excerpt":"After supporting President Trump's war against Iran, Texas Senators John Cornyn and Ted Cruz said they're now concerned by the memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Iran.

Cruz questioned some of the provisions of the deal in remarks to reporters at the U.S. Capitol late last week. \"History demonstrates that giving billions of dollars to theocratic lunatics who want to murder us is an exceptionally bad idea,\" said Cruz. \"And I think, unfortunately, the president is receiving some really bad advice on this deal. I don't want to see us send a penny to the Ayatollah.\"Cornyn said he hadn't seen the MOU when asked about it Thursday. \"I'm looking forward to seeing it, but everything I've heard about it causes me concern,\" he told reporters. \"I supported the President's Operation Epic Fury because I believe he has delayed the Iranian regime's ability to get a nuclear weapon, which is very, very important,\" Cornyn added. \"But my hope would have been that he would have finished the job and basically eliminated that threat in the future.\"For their part, both President Trump and Vice President JD Vance — who led the negotiations with Iran — praised the deal. In France last week, the president told reporters, \"Ending the current conflict, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and preventing Iran from ever obtaining a nuclear weapon. That's what it was all about.\" At the White House, Vance said, \"The only way the Iranians get any of those resources, not a single penny by the way, from the United States of America under any circumstances, but the only way that they would ever get any benefit of the bargain is if they comply fully and change their behavior.\"Under the MOU, Iran will be given a way to have its economic sanctions lifted, the ability to sell its oil on the world market, and potentially receive hundreds of billions of dollars, but not from the U.S., to rebuild its country. Cruz said the regime shouldn't be allowed to receive the money no matter where it comes from. \"The most catastrophic foreign policy decision that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made was to flow $100 billion to Iran. That money funded terrorism across the globe in a very real sense,\" Cruz said. \"Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's billions that they sent to Iran funded October 7th and the horrific atrocities that occurred on that day. If we give billions of dollars to Iran, that money will be used to murder Americans, and so I don't believe we should do that.\" Cornyn agreed. \"They'll use that money that is being released to rebuild their ballistic missile arsenal and begin to enrich again, and that's going to be a continuing danger,\" he said. \"Obviously, the money can also be used to support the Iranian proxies: the Houthis, Hezbollah, Shia militias, Hamas. And so, I'm interested in learning more about it. But I think it's certainly a mixed bag at best.\" According to the White House, 992 Americans, most of them members of the military, have been killed by Iran or its proxies since 1979. While Cruz expressed concerns about the MOU, he praised the President for destroying Iran's military. \"It took the Iranian regime 47 years to build that military,\" said Cruz. \"It took the U.S. military 39 days to utterly destroy it. I do not believe we should now be rebuilding the military we just destroyed. President Trump's leadership, taking out the Iranian military and preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, was strong, decisive leadership that made America safer. The President was acting as commander-in-chief to protect Americans. I'm grateful for that.\"This week's full episode can be found below:","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/texas-senators-ted-cruz-john-cornyn-express-concerns-president-trump-vp-vances-iran-deal-memorandum-understanding/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Jack Fink","publishDate":"2026-06-21T10:00:00.000Z","category":"local","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets2.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2026%2F06%2F20%2F1dc09863-7d51-4053-a61e-0b297a718d61%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2Fec7090c2e141add3fe1c5947be70fb55%2Fcbsn-fusion-how-trumps-iran-goals-have-changed-thumbnail.jpg","slug":"texas-senators-cruz-cornyn-express-concerns-over-president-trump-and-vp-vances-iran-deal"},{"id":"qqbmrw","title":"Hot and humid Father's Day for North Texas to kick off summer equinox","excerpt":"Happy Father's Day and official start to Summer Equinox!

It’s highly unlikely the Mavericks can pick up a player of that caliber at 9.\n\n\n\nThere are also real overachievers, like the draft-day trades that resulted in Dirk Nowitzki and Luka Doncic – also unfair comparisons for any draft hopeful. \n\n\n\nThere are mild success stories, like former number 9 overall pick in the 1981draft, Rolando Blackman, who is expected to attend the Mavs draft party.\n\n\n\nThe Mavericks’ biggest draft disappointments are former number 9 overall pick in the 2017 draft, Dennis Smith, Jr., and Randy White, who spent five seasons in Dallas but never became a regular starter.\n\n\n\nNBA insiders have conducted mock drafts where the Mavs select either Houston guard Kingston Flemings or Arizona guard Brayden Burries, both of whom reached the Sweet 16 in their lone season in college basketball.\n\n\n\nThe Mavericks are holding a free draft watch party at The Echo Lounge in the Design District, near the Mavericks’ training center and across the highway from the American Airlines Center. The team says there will be giveaways, autographs, and an exclusive shopping opportunity.\n\n\n\nIt will be hosted by Mavericks broadcast staples, including Mark Followill, Jeff “Skin” Wade, and Chuck Cooperstein.\n\n\n\nFor more information, visit mavs.com/draft.

The redesign is under consideration because the current plans would cut off access to the Jefferson Viaduct, affecting drivers coming from Oak Cliff.City Manager Kimberly Tolbert is urging the council to vote against the redesign. Tolbert announced earlier this week that changing course would delay the project into 2030 and create significant economic impacts.\"Since we closed the center in 2025, we've lost 3,000 associated jobs from not having a fully functioning,\" said Craig Davis, Visit Dallas CEO.A redesign would cost nearly $600 million. Davis said the city stands to lose $1.5 million each month in anticipated hotel tax revenue during the closure, which was already expected to last through 2029.\"Then any potential delay past that is going to get exponentially worse. There's reputational damage that's taking place because we've moved groups that we had promised,\" Davis said.The City Council is expected to vote on the redesign on Wednesday.","url":"https://www.cbsnews.com/texas/news/redesign-debate-intensifies-as-dallas-convention-center-faces-costly-delays/","source":"CBS Texas (KTVT) DFW","author":"Briseida Holguin","publishDate":"2026-06-21T04:38:27.000Z","category":"government","localScore":100,"priority":1,"image":"https://southlakenews.org/imgp?u=https%3A%2F%2Fassets3.cbsnewsstatic.com%2Fhub%2Fi%2Fr%2F2021%2F03%2F15%2F30ceac51-55da-4496-abb1-21214fbbbc26%2Fthumbnail%2F1024x576%2F9d06a2134a2c3ee443246f28e7585c4b%2FConvention-center.jpg","slug":"redesign-debate-intensifies-as-dallas-convention-center-faces-costly-delays"},{"id":"soh7s0","title":"Heat holds in North Texas as rain chances return","excerpt":"The Metroplex avoided severe weather Saturday, but the dangerous heat isn’t letting up.

Bush was on display again Thursday at the Obama Presidential Center's opening ceremony in Chicago. Ahead of the ceremony, Bush gifted Obama a tin of Altoids in a callback to one of their viral moments at the funeral for Sen. John McCain in 2018. The former president was caught sneaking Obama what was later said to be a cough drop during the funeral. \"President Bush and I, we are forever seatmates because of protocol, that's how we sit at all the official functions, so he is my partner in crime at every major thing where all the 'formers' gather,\" Obama said on \"Today\" after the moment caught the public's attention. \"It was a simple gesture. He was getting a cough drop from Laura, and I looked over and I said, 'Hand me a cough drop.'\"Obama called Bush \"a wonderful man\" and \"a funny man.\" \"I love him to death,\" she said.Months later, Bush recreated the moment at the funeral for his father, appearing to slip Obama a piece of candy or a mint when they shook hands.In a recent interview with his daughter, Jenna Bush Hager, Bush referred to what he handed Obama at McCain's funeral as an Altoid. But whether it was a cough drop or a mint, the sentiment remains. \"It turns out the country is starved to see a White center-right Republican and an African American center-left Democrat having fun and being able to converse, not as political figures, but as citizens,\" Bush said. And the gift on Thursday appeared to be well received, with Obama smiling and holding up the tin in a photo with Bush. Former President George W. Bush gives former first lady Michelle Obama mints ahead of the dedication ceremony for the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center on June 18, 2026, in Chicago, Illinois. \n \n Pablo Martinez
