Hospital units dedicated to treating the nation's sickest kids are disappearing nationwide. In the past year alone, hospitals have closed pediatric intensive care units for critically ill kids in Montana, Oregon, and Missouri. Overnight hospital wings for kids have also shuttered in Illinois and California. cbsnews.com/news/pediatric-i…

WOW -- that is rough for OKC.
BREAKING: Oklahoma City's Jalen Williams has a dislocated left ankle and fractured fibula; Cason Wallace has a torn labrum in his left shoulder. Both will undergo surgery and be sidelined for several months -- most, if not the entire season.

FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, a Democrat, says the state’s wildfire last year met the requirements for a federal disaster declaration, but the Trump administration denied his request for aid. “We had not been turned down for one. I think it's been decades since that's occurred,” says Polis.

This has a huge trickle down effect on everything.
The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. The loss of data used to observe, forecast and research extreme weather could prevent the US from making major advances in weather prediction in the coming years. cnn.it/4k6eD4o

Back to back! Love to see it!
We liked the Beehive State so much that we’re sticking around! Next stop is Salt Lake to see the Utes put the nation’s longest win streak on the line in a top-20 showdown with Houston 🙌

Being a Cowboys fan is not weak for the heart.
Dak went toe to toe with Aaron Rodgers as a rookie, battling back from a double digit deficit, only for the defense to give up a 3rd and 20

Big ambitions for downtown SLC.
We’re excited to share the next phase of what’s coming to downtown Salt Lake City. The new district will have something for everyone. It’ll have a new convention center, updated Abravanel Hall, new art museum, transformed Delta Center, Live Nation venue, strong local vibe combined with new iconic brands, hotel, housing, restaurants, and a central pedestrian walkway connecting the whole downtown from City Creek all the way to the new front door of the Delta Center.

Senator Curtis with a strong statement on public executions.
Seneca warned that Rome’s bloody spectacles corrupted the people who watched them. A civilization erodes when it cultivates an appetite for executions as a form of entertainment. Secretary Hegseth’s plan to livestream the Fort Hood execution risks feeding that appetite. The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity. Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent. I urge him to reconsider.

No way around it. The @dallascowboys played bad. There were a lot of issues you can evaluate. With so many hot take and bad takes. This post from @calvinwatkins is rational and legit. Truth to it they were not in sync all night.
The trip to Rio was going to catch up to the Cowboys and it didnt matter how much your sports science team tried to help you. Human beings living in car crashes every week as a source of employment catches up to u at some point. It caught up to them at the wrong time.

❄️ UTAH SNOW UPDATE: Could the mountains see a significant snowfall next week? We’re still several days out, but the latest computer models are showing the potential for a much colder storm system to move into Utah around October 11-13. The latest ensemble guidance is hinting at the potential for several inches of precipitation in the mountains, with some snow projections getting quite impressive. Keep in mind, these are early projections, and there is still a LOT of uncertainty with the exact track of the storm, snow levels and totals. 🌨️ Snow levels could drop into the 8,000-9,000 foot range, potentially bringing the first more widespread mountain snowfall of the season to some of our higher elevations. It’s too early to get locked into specific snow totals, but this is definitely a pattern worth watching! I’ll keep you updated as we get closer. 👀
