Thunder Dig Deep, Outlast Pacers to Even NBA Finals The Oklahoma City Thunder have made a season out of defying expectations — and Friday night in Indianapolis was no different.

Trump Blocks California EV Mandates, Revokes Emissions Standards Waiver President Donald Trump signed three resolutions on Thursday aimed at dismantling California’s authority to mandate electric vehicle (EV) sales and impose its own tailpipe emissions standards. The move marks a significant rollback of state-led climate initiatives, particularly California’s 2024 decision to phase out new gasoline-powered vehicle sales by 2035. The resolutions also revoke California’s federal Clean Air Act waiver, which had allowed the state to enforce stricter emissions rules than the national standard. That waiver had been the foundation for 17 other states—representing about 30% of the U.S. vehicle market—to adopt…
