Voting is underway in California on new maps that could swing US House control, check Trump’s power

October 5, 2025

The fight for control of the U.S. House is underway in California. Voters are considering whether to drastically reshape congressional districts to add as many as five Democratic seats in advance of the 2026 midterm elections. The plan championed by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom is intended to offset Trump’s moves in Texas to gain five Republican districts ahead of the midterms. Ballots are arriving at voters’ homes and voting concludes on Nov. 4. The outcome of the election could determine which party controls the closely divided House and the reach of President Donald Trump’s power in the second half of his term.

Some referees took the floor in NBA camps this year, and coaches welcomed their presence

October 5, 2025

The NBA has introduced a new program this season, sending referees to training camps to officiate scrimmages. This initiative aims to give officials extra practice and help teams understand how games will be called. Milwaukee coach Doc Rivers and others have praised the program, saying it helps build relationships between players, coaches, and officials in a less competitive environment. Coaches like Washington’s Brian Keefe and Portland’s Chauncey Billups have called it a great idea. The league believes this approach fosters respect for the game and improves communication. Coaches and players seem to appreciate the effort.

Government shutdown enters fifth day as Democrats and Republicans remain at an impasse

October 5, 2025

Washington lawmakers remain at a standstill over reopening the government, showing few signs of progress. Both parties believe public opinion supports their stance, with Democrats pushing for health insurance subsidies and President Donald Trump aiming to maintain current spending levels. The shutdown adds to economic uncertainty, with hiring slowing and inflation high. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries on Sunday criticized Republicans for not negotiating. Trump was confident but vague, claims cost-cutting success. The Trump administration sees the shutdown as a chance to cut federal jobs. Talks remain unproductive, with a Senate vote failing to advance a Republican bill.

At America’s national parks in the Trump era, the arc of history bends toward revisionism

October 5, 2025

The National Park Service under President Donald Trump is looking to reshape what it tells Americans about their history. Park managers are under orders to make their stories more “uplifting.” But the history of slavery doesn’t lend itself to a happier narrative. At some parks, officials tell The Associated Press that brochures have been pulled for revision and employees have been told to purge references to “enslavers.” Even so, a guided tour at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, still presents an unflinching story from the town where John Brown mounted a violent raid to free the enslaved and stirred anti-slavery public opinion on the cusp of the Civil War.

Will the government shutdown affect next year’s election? Recent history provides clues

October 5, 2025

Political leaders in Washington are spending much of their energy these days blaming the other party for what could be a significant government shutdown. That effort includes shaping the narrative for next year’s midterm elections. The Democratic campaign arm for House members has taken out digital ads critical of the Republican incumbents in 35 congressional districts it considers in play. Meanwhile, the House Republican campaign organization has digital ads running in dozens of swing districts. But recent history would suggest shutdowns play a limited role in subsequent elections as voters soon move on to other priorities.
