NBA Draft Combine Fallout: The 2026 NBA draft combine’s second scrimmage day ended with two notable withdrawals—Baylor’s Cameron Carr and Texas’ Dailyn Swain—leaving Vanderbilt’s Tyler Tanner as the top name still on the floor, while other prospects’ stock could swing as teams shift to agency pro days and workouts. Immigration Courtroom Fight: A federal judge blocked key parts of Texas’ SB 4, saying state officials can’t enforce federal immigration law without federal control—another reminder that the sanctuary-city and immigration battles are headed back to judges. Boston Sanctuary City: In Massachusetts, a federal court heard arguments over Boston’s Trust Act, with the Justice Department warning it lets serious-crime suspects slip through. Harvard Bonds, Religion Rule: Harvard’s $675M economics building financing comes with a no-religious-worship condition, drawing fresh First Amendment concerns. Public Health: UMass Amherst research finds wood burning can reintroduce lead into the air, linking more wood-smoke particles to more airborne lead.
