Trump freezes $8.1 million for Wake County schools. Here’s what that means. Wake says it's extending 90-day hiring freeze on Central Services positions and restricting spending while it waits for word on when the money will be released.

Why are the Fever ranked first in the Commissioner’s Cup in the East over the Liberty? Both are 2-0, and the Liberty have the greater point differential.

"In my 49 years, I never perceived a difference between his public face and his private one. He was the same person no matter who he was with or where he was. And, for me, that's the definition of integrity." - Jason Carter, Jimmy Carter's grandson (Washington, D.C.)

When he was 11 years old, Davin Vann witnessed his sister drown. His path to finding peace has been nothing short of miraculous. Hope you’ll give this a read.

A journey toward forgiveness: Davin Vann has finally found himself years after his sister's death
Vann is the Wolfpack's senior leader -- a fan favorite, even. But this notoriety is something that has taken him years to accept.

Leaving the Constitutional convention in 1787, Ben Franklin was stopped by Elizabeth Powel who asked, “Well, Mr Franklin, what have we got, a Republic or a monarchy?” His response: “A republic, madame, if you can keep it.” Go keep the republic.

Greatly enjoying the new modular origami book by
@mehjg.bsky.social
. This is Mater Spei (L) and a variation substituting a curl for a couple of folds (R). (Don’t look too closely at the variation. Lots of experimenting resulted in some rather weary paper!)

What an exciting Tour de France so far this year! First stage win ever for a rider from Africa (Bimian Girmay from Eritrea), first yellow jersey for a rider from Ecuador (Carapaz), Cav takes record outright for most stage wins, and Girmay takes the green jersey. Whew!
