• 3:09
  news, the Trump administration has settled with
• 3:13
  Maine, agreeing to halt the freeze on funds for
• 3:16
  a child nutrition program. This decision follows
• 3:19
  a dispute over transgender athletes, which led
• 3:22
  to Maine's lawsuit against the U .S. Department
• 3:24
  of Agriculture. Maine Attorney General Aaron
• 3:28
  Frey expressed relief, stating, It's unfortunate
• 3:31
  that my office had to resort to federal court
• 3:34
  just to get USDA to comply with the law. The
• 3:38
  settlement allows Maine to access over $1 ,800
• 3:41
  ,000 and anticipates an additional $3 million
• 3:45
  for summer meal programs. A federal judge previously
• 3:49
  ordered the funds to be unblocked. Now on to
• 3:57
  sports. Scottie Scheffler celebrated a remarkable
• 4:02
  victory at the CJ Cup, winning by an impressive
• 4:05
  eight shots in McKinney, Texas. This marked his
• 4:09
  first triumph of the year 2025, and he finished
• 4:13
  at 31 under par after a final round of 63. Scheffler,
• 4:18
  the top -ranked golfer, became the first from
• 4:21
  a Dallas -area high school to win this tournament
• 4:24
  since 2007, and he achieved the largest margin
• 4:28
  of victory in its history. Notably, Scheffler's
• 4:32
  performance included a 10 -under 61 in the opening
• 4:35
  round and earned him a prize of $1 .8 million.
• 4:40
  In local sports. Yesterday afternoon at Fenway,
• 4:44
  the Sox dropped a close one to the Twins. 5 -4.
• 4:49
  Despite a valiant effort, including a go -ahead
• 4:52
  homer by Abreu in the eighth, the Twins rallied.
• 4:56
  The Sox's loss came as Slayton allowed the tying
• 5:00
  runs. The Twins' nine hits outpaced the Sox's
• 5:04
  seven, with Fader's crucial double sealing the
• 5:07
  deal. Boston sits at 18 -18. Tomorrow afternoon,

  Tip -off is at 7 on TNT. In top news. In today's
• 5:47
  discussion about parenting, we focus on the concerning
• 5:50
  link between cannabis and psychosis in teenagers.
• 5:55
  A case study reveals a 17 -year -old named Sam
• 5:58
  who began using cannabis casually in 9th grade,
• 6:02
  leading to serious mental health issues. Modern
• 6:06
  cannabis strains are significantly more potent
• 6:09
  than those used decades ago, increasing addiction
• 6:11
  risks and potential for psychosis. Research shows
• 6:15
  that cannabis users face an 11 -fold increase
• 6:18
  in risk for psychotic disorders. Experts urge
• 6:23
  parents to educate themselves about cannabis,
• 6:25
  maintain open communication with their children,
• 6:28
  and seek immediate help if concerning symptoms
• 6:31
  arise. In business news, LinkedIn and Google
• 6:37
  are facing a proposed class action lawsuit alleging
• 6:41
  improper access to confidential health data from
• 6:45
  California's health insurance exchange website.
• 6:48
  Following an investigation by CalMatters and
• 6:51
  The Markup, a California congressman has called
• 6:54
  for the Federal Health and Human Services Department
• 6:57
  to look into the data -sharing practices. Trackers
• 7:01
  on CoveredCal .com reportedly sent sensitive
• 7:04
  information about visitors, including health
• 7:07
  details, to LinkedIn. The lawsuit claims these
• 7:11
  actions violated California's Invasion of Privacy
• 7:14
  Act and the Federal Electronic Communications
• 7:17
  Privacy Act. Both companies have not provided
• 7:20
  immediate comments, while Covered California
• 7:23
  has removed the trackers. In crypto movement.
• 7:28
  Bitcoin is down 3 % over the weekend to about
• 7:31
  $94 ,000. Ethereum is down 2 % to just under
• 7:37
  $1 ,800. And Goetze's Maximus is down 12 % to
• 7:43
  $0 .07. Moving on to a more local vibe. In our

  morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 8:32
  Let's talk tech. Amazon is stepping into the
• 8:37
  space race, launching its Project Cooper satellites,
• 8:40
  now totaling 27 in orbit. This venture aims to
• 8:45
  compete with SpaceX's Starlink amidst growing
• 8:47
  concerns about orbital overcrowding. With numerous
• 8:51
  companies planning to deploy over 1 ,000 satellites
• 8:55
  each, the potential for catastrophic collisions
• 8:57
  is increasing. A recent report from the European
• 9:01
  Space Agency indicates that over 2 ,500 objects
• 9:05
  were launched into low -Earth orbit this year
• 9:08
  alone, creating a significant risk. Experts warn
• 9:12
  that without comprehensive regulations, the situation
• 9:15
  could escalate into a dangerous cascade of collisions.
• 9:19
  jeopardizing access to space for future missions.
• 9:24
  And in entertainment news, the upcoming reboot
• 9:29
  of Miami Vice is generating excitement, especially
• 9:33
  with Top Gun Maverick director Joseph Kosinski
• 9:36
  at the helm. The series originally introduced
• 9:39
  Don Johnson's James Crockett and Philip Michael
• 9:42
  Thomas' Ricardo Tubbs over 40 years ago. While
• 9:47
  Kosinski's ability to balance action and character
• 9:50
  development is impressive, it is screenwriter
• 9:53
  Dan Gilroy's involvement that truly elevates
• 9:56
  anticipation. Known for Nightcrawler, Gilroy
• 10:00
  is expected to explore the darker, seedier side
• 10:03
  of South Florida. With this dynamic duo, fans
• 10:07
  can expect a fresh take that honors the original
• 10:10
  while delivering a thrilling, cinematic experience.
• 10:14
  Well, alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote
• 10:17
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 10:21
  American science fiction writer Ray Bradbury.
• 10:25
  And he said, We are an impossibility in an impossible
• 10:30
  universe. And that's a wrap for this morning.
