New law allows hunters to wear a new safety color in Georgia
ATLANTA (WSAV) — Georgia hunters can add a new color to their closet other than camo and neon orange, thanks to a new law.
House Bill 167 was signed into law by Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday.
HB 167 allows Georgia hunters to wear fluorescent pink as an outer safety garment, if they'd rather opt out of the typical orange.
When hunting deer, boar or bears, Georgia requires hunters and those accompanying hunters to wear daylight fluorescent orange, or fluorescent pink, during firearm seasons.
The clothing still has to be worn above the waistline and has to be at least 500 square inches of the fluorescent colors. This includes head coverings.

Did Trump play Iran on nuke talks? Ex-AP editor wonders
(NewsNation) — A former Middle East editor for The Associated Press is trying to read between the lines of Israel's strike Thursday against Iran given that the Trump administration was ostensibly working on a deal to limit Tehran's nuclear ambitions. Dan Perry joined NewsNation from Tel Aviv to discuss the backdrop of Israel's attack and to try to answer: Why now? 'The idea that the U.S. was negotiating with Iran as an equal was always ridiculous,' he said, considering President Trump voided a U.S.-Iran pact in 2018 to restrict the country from developing nuclear weapons. Rubio: US 'not involved' in Israel's strike inside Iran And yet the Trump administration had begun its own talks with Iran to do just that, he noted. 'I always thought that the idea that he would do this would be so ridiculous that it wasn't entirely tenable,' Perry said. 'It now appears as if that might have been a misdirection and might have been a part of a more complicated set of negotiating tactics. Because clearly (Trump) let loose the dogs, and he let the Israelis attack the Iranians.' He said there was no reason for the U.S. to negotiate with Iran to allow that country to enrich uranium 'at a level that is weaponizable.' Trump 'clearly allowed Israel to go ahead and do this,' Perry said, referring to the military strikes. 'This is the U.S. allowing Israel a great degree of rope to go ahead and attack some of the nuclear sites in order to make a point about these talks,' he said. 'The U.S. needs to ask for more of Iran than just to end the enrichment of uranium to a weaponizable level.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Terre Haute City Council votes against multi-family housing project
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — Tonight, the Terre Haute City Council voted against a multi-family housing project near Ohio Boulevard and Deming Park. The council said it took the community's concerns very seriously and voted 7 to 2 against the development. Todd Nation, President of the Terre Haute City Council said it was the right project and the wrong place. Nation said the community has been clear and consistent about how it feels about this development. He also said he hopes the developer will go back to the drawing board. Community member Shep Poland said the outcome of today's meeting is better than he could have hoped. 'It's a residential district that is a really nice neighborhood right now and we just, the group, is a neighborhood. We did not want the apartments they were planning there,' said Poland. The City Counsil tabled the two Tax Increment Finance Districts until August 7th. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

'No Kings' protests: What to know about the June 14 rallies against Trump
Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images No Kings Day protest at the Capitol Reflection Pool on Presidents Day, Washington DC, February 2025 This Saturday, June 14, is set to be the largest mass protest of President Donald Trump's second term so far. June 14 is a notable day for many reasons. In the United States, the day is known as Flag Day, commemorating the adoption of the U.S. flag on that day in 1777. It's the anniversary of the Army's founding, which will have happened 250 years ago this year. It's Donald Trump's 79th birthday. It will also be marked by the largest mass mobilization of protests and rallies since Trump's second term started in January. In celebration of Flag Day, the Army's anniversary, and his birthday, Trump has planned a large-scale military parade for Saturday through the streets of Washington, D.C. The parade will reportedly include over 6,000 soldiers, 49 aircraft, and 128 vehicles, including tanks, 25 horses, two mules, and a dog in "a spectacular military parade in Washington, D.C., like no other," according to an Instagram video posted by Trump. That won't be the only significant event that day. Across the country, and in a few places in Mexico and Canada, people are organizing No Kings protests and rallies in response to what many see as an increase in authoritarian power grabs and overreach from the current administration. Over 2,000 No Kings protests and rallies are scheduled for June 14. Here's what you should know about them. DOMINIC GWINN/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images No Kings Day protest in front of the Capitol building on Presidents Day, Washington DC, February 2025 The No Kings movement is in direct response to actions taken by the Trump administration that many see as corrupt, authoritarian, and morally wrong. "They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services," the movement's website reads. "The corruption has gone too far. No thrones. No crowns. No kings." The protests are being held on the June 14 to counterbalance Trump's military parade in Washington, D.C., which is seen by many as another sign of his administration's excess and corruption. Organizers are calling for the protests to be peaceful. "No Kings is a nationwide day of defiance," the website says. "From city blocks to small towns, from courthouse steps to community parks, we're taking action to reject authoritarianism — and show the world what democracy really looks like." Michael Siluk/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Hands Off Rally, St. Paul, Minnesota, April 2025 While the No Kings protests aren't directly related to the anti-ICE protests over recent immigration raids in Los Angeles and surrounding areas, the raids are an important issue to the movement. "Whether you're outraged by attacks on civil rights, skyrocketing costs, abductions and disappearances, the gutting of essential services, or the assault on free speech — this moment is for you," the website says, referencing mass arrests made by ICE agents in workplace raids in areas like the LA Fashion District. Jim West/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty Images No Kings Day protest on Presidents Day, Detroit, Michigan, February 2025 There are over 2,000 No Kings protests planned across the United States, with a few also scheduled to take place in Canada and Mexico.

Jeremy Hogan/SOPA Images/LightRocket via Getty Images 50501 Movement protest, Indianapolis, Indiana, April 2025 Trump will be in Washington, D.C., celebrating his birthday with a large military parade, something he has wanted to do since his first term as president. DOMINIC GWINN/Middle East Images/AFP via Getty Images Fox News coverage protest, Washington, D.C., June 2025 No, there will not be a No Kings protest in the nation's capital. According to the movement's website, it is avoiding Washington, D.C., because that is where Trump's parade will be. "Instead of allowing this birthday parade to be the center of gravity, we will make action everywhere else the story of America that day: people coming together in communities across the country to reject strongman politics and corruption," it says. Instead, No Kings is hosting a large march and rally in Philadelphia in an attempt "to draw a clear contrast between our people-powered movement and the costly, wasteful, and un-American birthday parade in Washington." Erin Clark/The Boston Globe via Getty Images No Kings rally at Hancock Adams Common, Quincy, MA, April 2025 Trump has said that he has no patience for anyone who wants to protest the parade in the capital. "If there's any protester that wants to come out, they will be met with very big force," Trump said, per NBC News. "I haven't even heard about a protest, but you know, this is people that hate our country, but they will be met with very heavy force."
