Nintendo’s Switch 2 soups up the graphics, but does it deliver the games?
SUMMARY: Nintendo’s new Switch 2 ($449.99) enhances the beloved hybrid console with a larger 7.9-inch 1020p screen and supports 4K HDR when connected to HDTVs. It offers improved performance with a 120 fps framerate, addressing the original Switch’s graphical strains. Storage expands from 32GB to 256GB, though more space requires pricey microSD cards. Joy-Cons now attach magnetically and feature optical mouse functionality. Social features include GameChat and GameShare, though online voice chat needs a subscription and extra camera. Launch titles include Mario Kart World and others, with full backward compatibility. Facing strong competition from Valve’s SteamDeck and upcoming handhelds, the Switch 2’s long-term appeal depends on future exclusive games.

Could you get a $600 check next year under Donald Trump? Here’s what to know
SUMMARY: A new bill called the American Worker Rebate Act of 2025 was introduced in the U.S. Senate to give tax rebates to working Americans using revenue from tariffs on foreign goods. Single taxpayers could receive at least $600, with higher amounts for married couples and families with children, up to $2,400. The rebate could increase if tariff revenue exceeds projections, which may reach $150 billion in 2025. Benefits phase out for higher incomes. Senator Josh Hawley introduced the bill, citing tariff revenues and echoing former President Trump’s support for rebate checks to aid American workers.

Camp Dolphins: Fins haven't been able to escape harsh realities of football
SUMMARY: The Miami Dolphins faced tough setbacks early in camp, losing starting cornerback Kater Kohou for the season due to a knee injury sustained during one-on-one drills.

Quarterback depth is uncertain after departures, but backups Zach Wilson and rookie Quinn Ewers have impressed so far. Safety Ashton Davis, seen with a walking boot, is expected to avoid a season-ending injury.

On Wednesday, Dolphins fans got the bad news that starting Corner Kader Kohou will be out for the year after suffering a knee injury on Saturday. He was the top returning cornerback for the Fins coming into 2025.

Officials warn districts to give teacher raises, unions say funding falls short
SUMMARY: As Florida schools prepare to open, tensions rise between state officials and teachers’ unions over pay raises. Governor Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Anastasios Kamoutsas announced over $100 million in additional teacher pay but accused some districts and unions of delaying implementation. Kamoutsas warned districts against stalling and threatened action. The Florida Education Association (FEA) criticized the increase as insufficient, highlighting Florida’s low national teacher salary ranking and ongoing staffing issues. State Democrats pushed for a salary bill, which failed. Despite disagreements, the state reports a nearly 30% drop in teacher vacancies and expanded recruitment, while unions continue advocating for more funding.
