California Sen. Sabrina Cervantes won't face DUI charges after crash near state Capitol
SACRAMENTO – Prosecutors will not file DUI charges against California Sen. Sabrina Cervantes, saying a toxicology report came back negative after the senator was involved in a crash near the state Capitol last week. The Sacramento County District Attorney's Office said it reviewed police reports, witness statements and the negative toxicology report before deciding not to file any charges against Cervantes, who represents areas of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Cervantes was involved in a crash near 14th and S streets on May 19. The Sacramento Police Department said Cervantes was taken to a hospital with minor injuries by a private party. The police department said Cervantes showed "objective signs that led them to believe she may have been impaired." Officers asked Cervantes to perform a field sobriety test, but she declined, the police department said. After becoming aware that police were seeking a warrant to obtain a blood sample, police said she voluntarily agreed to provide the sample. But the police department said they waited for the warrant to be signed by a judge. The blood sample was collected and sent to the district attorney. Cervantes was also cited, police said. "The toxicology results were negative for any measurable amount of alcohol or drugs," the Sacramento County District Attorney said. Cervantes denied any wrongdoing, saying she had no alcohol in her system. The police department said she was suspected of DUI of drugs.

Gen Z Signing Up for 'Adulting 101' Classes
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While the term "adulting" may be associated with their millennial predecessors, classes on "how to adult" have popped up at multiple universities in the U.S., aiming to teach Gen Z key life skills for adulthood. Why It Matters Whether it's stretching the truth in job interviews, lying on job applications or doomed to doom scroll, many alarms have been raised about Gen Z's ascent into adulthood. Pupils sit in a classroom on the first day of the new academic year in a Lyon highschool, on September 1, 2022. Pupils sit in a classroom on the first day of the new academic year in a Lyon highschool, on September 1, 2022. JEFF PACHOUD/AFP via Getty Images Between 2019 and 2023, anxiety among young adults nearly tripled. Gen Z has quickly developed a negative reputation in the workforce, with a recent report finding that one in six businesses said they were hesitant to hire recent college graduates. For a generation that grew up online, entry into the "real world," one shaped by rapidly changing tech, a cost of living crisis and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, hasn't been easy. What To Know Now, educators and Gen-Z students are tackling this head-on. At Michigan State University, the University of California, Riverside and JCI Santa Clarita, "adulting" classes are being introduced to help equip young people with essential life skills. Upcoming events at Michigan State University include workshops like 'International Travel on a Budget,' 'Mastering Meal Planning,' 'Navigating Life: Addressing and Handling Peer Pressure,' and 'Professionalism: Communicate, Dress and Deliver With Confidence.' Over at the University of California, Riverside, the Adulting Program "supports students' ability to succeed with their basic needs, career readiness, and financial wellness." The program has three key areas of focus: "Basic Needs, Career Development, and Financial Wellness." JCI Santa Clarita meanwhile provides a "simulation" project. It provides "participants with an identity that includes a career and salary," and participants then visit booths which offer goods in order to help them learn how to live within their means. What People Are Saying University of California, Riverside in the 'Basic Needs' Program Overview on their website: "Through a combination of workshops, resources, and mentorship, the program will equip participants with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate basic needs, financial and career challenges to achieve their personal and academic goals." Michigan State University, in the 'Adulting 101' Program Overview on their website: "Adulting 101 programs help high school students and beyond demystify the obscure reality of being an "adult" through engaging educational sessions. Each session is packed full of important life skills and tools necessary to live independently. Topics include: money management, community engagement, conflict resolution, career and future education, home skills and more. " What's Next These classes have already been adopted at multiple universities; whether they grow in prevalence remains to be seen. Some of these projects have already been running for multiple years, reflecting success of these initiatives.

California AG responds to Trump's crackdown on trans athletes amid track championship chaos
California Attorney General Rob Bonta is facing a Department of Justice investigation over his state's laws allowing transgender athletes in girls sports. The DOJ announced the investigation Wednesday, one day after President Donald Trump threatened to pull funding from the state for allowing a trans athlete to compete in a girls track and field championship. Bonta's office responded to the recent pressure on him and the state of California over the issue in a statement to Fox News Digital. "We remain committed to defending and upholding California laws and all additional laws which ensure the rights of students, including transgender students, to be free from discrimination and harassment. We will continue to closely monitor the Trump administration's actions in this space," the statement said. The DOJ's announcement of its investigation against the state cited a lawsuit that includes Bonta as a defendant. The lawsuit, filed by the families of two girls at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, alleges the school's cross-country team dropped one athlete from her varsity spot in favor of a trans athlete and that school administrators compared their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts to swastikas, Fox News Digital has previously reported. The suit, filed in November, seeks to challenge the state's current law that allows trans athletes to compete as girls, which has been in place since 2014. The lawsuit expanded a defendant list to include Bonta Feb. 1. Just days later, after Trump signed the "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports" executive order Feb. 5, the U.S. Department of Education launched an investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) for openly defying the order. Now, the tension in the state figures to come to a head this weekend at the girls track and field state championship. The CIF has already made several rule changes that accommodate girls who would be displaced by the trans athlete, AB Hernandez of Jurupa Valley High School. The changes include giving medals to any "biological female" competitors who would have earned a podium spot if not for Hernandez placing ahead of them. Still, many families and activists are speaking out against the CIF for allowing the situation to continue at all, and the Trump administration has given no indication the rule changes will satisfy its demands on the issue.

Dispute over staff contract changes at Cheswold Park hospital
A hospital has refused to update some staff contracts to match NHS standards, creating a "two-tier" workforce, according to the union at Cheswold Park, a mental health hospital in Doncaster, were employed by private company Riverside until late 2024, when the NHS was asked to take over the site.A spokesperson for South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust said staff were "fully supported" following the change and all workers would be moved on to NHS contracts once the "financial position supports the move".Chris Rawlinson, regional officer at Unite, said NHS values were "not being upheld in their treatment of workers". More than 170 workers had launched a collective grievance against the Trust, Unite union also accused the Trust of "trying to take advantage" of contract disparities to save money on redundancy packages and sick said one woman, who had worked at the hospital since it was run by Riverside, returned to work against her doctor's advice after a miscarriage as she was not entitled to sick pay. The Trust said it "did not accept the position" described by Unite."It does not accurately reflect the situation in Cheswold Park, nor acknowledge the support being provided to staff at the hospital," a spokesperson Trust aimed to ensure patients and staff could "remain at the hospital whilst returning it to a stable financial position", they added."In respect of staff terms and conditions we have always followed our legal obligations and continue to do so.""We have not in any way changed the terms and conditions of employment of staff who have transferred over to the Trust," they Rawlinson said taking members on strike over the dispute was "a last resort", but they would be given the option if the employer refused to general secretary Sharon Graham described the situation as "absolutely sickening"."The Trust's leadership should hang their heads in shame for allowing it to happen," she added.
