“Ideally I believe the Boy Scouts should go back to being the Boy Scouts as originally founded, a group that develops boys into men. Aaron Ontiveroz/The Denver PostIn a statement released Friday, Scouting America didn’t mention the policy change targeting transgender youths, but it noted its need to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump that targeted diversity, equity and inclusion programs. “Scouting America is one of the most reliable pipelines to the United States Armed Forces our country has ever known,” the organization added. Roger Krone, chief executive officer of Scouting America, describes the design of the organization's flag in Irving, Texas, on Feb. 5, 2025. In 2017, the Boy Scouts announced that they would allow transgender children who identify as boys to enroll in their boys-only programs.

And, like, that was a hard pill to swallow because you can’t really change the way you look, right? – Or did you ever wake up and think, like, I have to look like Sam Hunt.

Paramount and Warner Bros' deal is about merging studios, and a whole lot moretoggle caption Mark Schiefelbein/AP/APWarner Bros. "But in practice, the Justice Department has discretion on whether to challenge these mergers," Posner tells NPR.

As we all know, Kyle Tucker's contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers caused quite a stir. However, Tucker's signing in L.A. has added fuel to the fire. For the new Dodgers player, the attention and pressure surrounding his contract and the situation with the collective bargaining agreement, which expires on December 1, does not bother him. It would have been just another big contract among many big contracts. So, by signing with Los Angeles, yes, there is pressure related to his contract, but it's as if it's diluted.

Warner Bros announced that Paramount Skydance's offer was more advantageous than the existing agreement with Netflix – and the streaming giant subsequently withdrew from the battle. The story of this acquisition began in December this year, when Warner Bros signed an agreement with Netflix worth approximately $83 billion.
