Broeske and Musson

A former Starbucks shift supervisor in Clovis is suing the coffee giant after he was fired when managers learned he was a registered sex offender. The lawsuit claims Starbucks knew about his conviction when it hired him in 2017 and kept him employed for eight years with no disciplinary issues. His lawsuit claims the firing violated California’s Fair Chance Act, which limits how employers can use criminal history. Starbucks says the claims are without merit and plans to fight the case.

During a meeting of the Trump-Kennedy Center board, President Donald Trump issued sharp warnings to European and world leaders about the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Trump administration’s move to invoke the Defense Production Act to restart California offshore oil operations has ignited a political firestorm. Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the decision, accusing Trump of exploiting the Iran war crisis to justify actions that threaten California’s coastline and environmental protections. Meanwhile, some California drivers argue that expanded offshore drilling could ease supply pressures and bring relief from punishing gas prices, exposing a sharp divide between economic frustration and environmental risk.

Two separate shootings this week raised national security concerns. At Old Dominion University in Virginia, authorities say the gunman was Mohamed Jalloh, a former Army National Guard member previously convicted in 2016 of attempting to provide material support to ISIS. He served about 11 years in federal prison and was released in 2024 before killing one person and wounding two others. In Michigan, an attack at Temple Israel synagogue was carried out by Ayman Ghazali, a naturalized U.S. citizen originally from Lebanon. Ghazali was killed by synagogue security during the attack.

At a Pentagon press conference on Friday, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth sharply criticized major news outlets—especially CNN—while expressing confidence that the U.S.-led conflict with Iran is nearing a decisive victory. Hegseth accused the media of misrepresenting battlefield progress and promoting what he called misleading or sensational headlines. He claimed Iran’s military capabilities have been severely degraded, citing steep declines in missile and drone attacks, even as fighting continues and U.S. casualties have mounted.
