The 2026 NFL season kicks off with a historic Super Bowl rematch: the Seattle Seahawks face the New England Patriots on Wednesday, September ninth—just seven months after Seattle’s 29-13 championship win. This marks only the third time in NFL history that the opener features last year’s Super Bowl foes. The league also expands globally with nine international games, including the first-ever regular-season match in Australia on September tenth. The Wednesday start, last seen in 2012 to avoid political clashes, now serves strategic scheduling needs amid college football’s broadcast constraints. Super Bowl LX saw Seattle’s Jason Myers break records with five field goals and the NFL’s single-season scoring mark. Next year’s Super Bowl LXI is set for February 14, 2027, at SoFi Stadium, followed by Super Bowl LXII in Atlanta on February 13, 2028.

A celebrity’s awkward photo op at a state fair—where they placed a hand on a woman’s backside—sparks debate over whether it’s playful or inappropriate, reflecting how societal boundaries have tightened over time. While the husband tried to brush it off and the wife was clearly upset, the celebrity can’t be the arbiter of etiquette since they initiated the gesture. Meanwhile, etiquette also adapts to small moments, like how to handle discarded nut shells—silver dish at tea time? Back in the container on the go? And in hiring, asking for references—even for remote roles—is still standard, and refusal may signal a red flag.

Canada just hit U.S. goods with steep new tariffs—20% to 50% on $27 billion worth of imports including steel, dairy, electronics, and lumber—as retaliation for recent U.S. tariff hikes. The move, which took effect overnight, has stalled trade talks as Canada rejects U.S. demands for more control over future deals, fearing harm to key industries. Businesses relying on Canadian materials, like Issaquah Lumber, are reeling from unpredictable costs and supply chains, forcing homebuilders to delay projects. Uncertainty is the real cost: even temporary tariffs can ripple for years, pushing prices up and straining both businesses and consumers. Washington State’s governor is now stepping in, meeting with Canada’s ambassador to mitigate damage to local exporters, who shipped over $4 billion to Canada in just six months.

Hundreds of firefighters battling Spokane’s wildfires received glutathione via nebulizers and IVs as a detox treatment—despite warnings from the FDA and the International Association of Fire Fighters that there’s no proven safety or effectiveness for this use. Two pharmacies recalled contaminated vials, adding to concerns. The treatment’s providers, Integrative Health Action Network and the Volunteer Fire Foundation, defend it, citing participant reports of improved symptoms like brain fog and fatigue—and plan to launch clinical trials to back up their claims.

In 1976, Jimmy Carter’s son John tried to energize Spokane voters—calling it his dad’s weakest turf—but still rallied local Democrats. Then, fast forward to 1926: a wild Prohibition-era scandal erupted when a Spokane cop, Daniel Webster, was cleared after a woman named Evelyn Thompson claimed she’d paid him for liquor. The agent set her up with a marked bill, but Webster’s testimony painted a very different scene—full of intimacy and denial. The case fizzled, clearing the officer and leaving Spokane buzzing over one of its most bizarre legal moments.

Canada has slapped retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods in a bold stand against what it calls unprovoked trade aggression, with 85% of Canadians backing the move. The trigger? A string of provocative social media posts from the U.S. President—including AI-generated images and threats to ban Bombardier, a major U.S. job creator. Experts urge Canada to keep ignoring the chaos, hoping it’ll make American leaders second-guess their own erratic tactics—and expose the fragile nature of global trade when diplomacy goes rogue.

A new “millionaires tax” targets top earners, taxing only income above $1 million—adjusted for inflation to avoid catching average folks. Meanwhile, Spokane’s county prosecutor race heats up: Danny Tarkenton faces scrutiny over her lack of trial experience, while Preston McCollam earns broad praise for his legal chops and community ties. And in education, a school district’s proposed levy hike—driven by rising property values, not higher rates—is sparking backlash, with critics urging cuts before asking more from taxpayers.

Lazaro Montes launched a record-breaking 474-foot three-run homer at T-Mobile Park, the longest since 2015, giving the Mariners a fleeting spark. But Eduard Bazardo’s shaky fifth-inning performance—giving up two homers—let the Rangers pull away for a 10-5 win. The Mariners now sit 31 games under .500, seven back of the Astros and five behind the Rangers, with nine losses in their last 12 games making playoff hopes fade. Bazardo’s struggles continue: 18 runs, nine homers in his last 24 outings. Still, Montes’ blast offers a glimmer of hope for the team’s future.
