Junk food ban gains Assembly committee approval in California
A CA Assembly Education Committee narrowly approved a bill to bar junk food sales in elementary and junior high schools. The measure excludes senior highs and would require nutritious options, banning candy, sugared gum, carbonated drinks, and fruit drinks with low juice content. Ice cream sales would stay allowed. The bill advances on an E-7 vote amid opposition from candy and soft drink industries.

Drought spreads eastward as May water flow remains low
The U.S. Geological Survey reports drought shifting east with 90 of 159 stations showing below normal May flows and only eight above normal. While Pacific Northwest coastal areas approach near-normal flows, Pennsylvania, Maryland and New Jersey suffer deepening deficits. California sees relief from May rains but Northern reservoirs sit far below normal, and major rivers run well under average. Groundwater declines continue in many regions, with some improvement in Kentucky, North Carolina and western Iowa. Reservoirs stay well below normal nationwide.
