"Speculation Surrounds North Korea's Kim Jong Un's Age as He Turns 40"

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's 40th birthday passed without any official mention from the secretive regime, continuing the decades-long silence on his birth date. While the U.S. government lists his birth year as 1984, North Korea has never confirmed the exact date.

"North Coast Lawmaker Selected as Leader by California Senate Democrats"

State Senator Mike McGuire, a moderate North Coast Democrat, has been chosen as the next leader of the California Senate, replacing Senate Pro Tem Toni Atkins. McGuire's term will be brief, lasting no more than 2 ½ years, as he is termed out in 2026. The decision was made to avoid a divisive and prolonged successor campaign. McGuire's coalition was largely driven by more moderate-leaning senators, but he will likely face pressure to include more progressives, people of color, women, and LGBTQ members in his leadership team.
