    Freshman Punched at UTSA Game | San Antonio News

    An 18-year-old UTRGV freshman, Frankie Puente III, was punched during a football game against UTSA at the Alamodome — leaving him with a busted lip and cuts. His father, Frank Puente Jr., is demanding justice as police seek to identify the attacker, who allegedly taunted Frankie and his friends before pushing a chair and causing him to fall. Witnesses say security failed to intervene despite earlier signs of trouble. UTSA issued a statement condemning violence, but the Puente family insists this isn’t just about sports — it’s about holding someone accountable for senseless brutality. Police are asking the public for help in identifying the suspect. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Senate Moves to Regulate College Sports | San Antonio News

    The Senate just passed a historic vote on a bill to regulate college sports, 74-24, setting the stage for a major debate over the future of NCAA athletics. With big conferences, Senate leaders, and even the President backing it, the legislation aims to bring order to chaotic athlete pay structures, protect scholarship spots, and stabilize women’s and Olympic sports. But critics warn it doesn’t go far enough — Republicans want stronger transgender athlete protections, labor groups say athletes aren’t sufficiently shielded, and the NAACP opposes it for ignoring voting rights. The bill would cap spending, reshape NIL deals, and give the NCAA legal cover — all while lawmakers race to pass it before midterms. This could be the last chance to save college sports as we know it. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Housing Slowdown Amid Massive Shortage | San Antonio News

    New home construction is hitting pause as building permits plunge 20% and finished homes hit a three-year low — builders are shrinking homes to keep prices from soaring. The slowdown’s worst in pandemic-boom Sun Belt cities like Austin and San Antonio, where supply is catching up to cooling demand. But here’s the twist: despite this pullback, the U.S. still faces a massive five-million-home shortage. When demand rebounds, that thin pipeline could push prices even higher. Meanwhile, the Midwest and Northeast lag behind due to high costs and limited land — areas that never saw the boom now face chronic underbuilding. Builders are trying to adapt, but the big-picture housing deficit remains stubbornly unresolved. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

    Houthi Attacks Force Saudi-Egypt Rapprochement | San Antonio News

    Saudi Arabia’s crown prince is turning to Egypt for support as Houthi rebels ramp up attacks on oil infrastructure and shipping routes, threatening global energy markets. With its key East-West pipeline damaged and repairs taking weeks, Saudi Arabia faces mounting pressure — and Iran is gaining leverage in the chaos. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Egyptian President Sissi to reaffirm regional security cooperation, though Egypt’s help will likely be political, not military. The Houthis’ growing control of the Bab el-Mandeb Strait threatens vital trade lanes, while Egypt’s own economy suffers from reduced Suez Canal traffic. As the U.S. remains inconsistent and UAE pulls back, Saudi Arabia stays cautious, fearing escalation — all while civilian casualties rise in Yemen’s brutal war.

    Teen Mom Abandons Baby at Bus Stop | San Antonio News

    An 18-year-old mom in San Antonio is accused of abandoning her infant at a bus stop, telling a stranger she no longer wanted him — but the baby was found and safely handed to authorities. Ibarra was arrested later that night, calmly sitting nearby as officers took her into custody. While motives remain unclear, experts stress that help is available: call 2-1-1 for support, or use designated fire stations as safe havens for infants in crisis. Her child is now with relatives — a heartbreaking case that underscores the urgent need for accessible resources for overwhelmed parents.

    Texas Republicans Battle for Oversight Chair | San Antonio News

    Young Texas Congressman Brandon Gill is gunning for the top Republican spot on the powerful House Oversight Committee, a role that could make him the youngest GOP leader in the House. With viral questioning of witnesses already making waves, Gill’s rise comes as fellow Texan Pat Fallon also eyes the same position — setting up a dramatic intra-state battle for influence. The committee, known for its fiery investigations and political scrutiny, will soon be led by whoever wins this race — especially since current chair James Comer is nearing term limits. But with midterms looming, the outcome hinges on whether Republicans retain control of the House — because if they don’t, both men would suddenly find themselves leading a committee under Democratic leadership.

    Mayor’s Budget Shifts Spark Community Debate | San Antonio News

    Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is racing to close a $158 million budget gap by reallocating funds—not cutting services—while protecting vital programs for low-income residents. She’s proposing ending the Ready to Work job-training program to free up $3.4 million, plus $10.5 million in future funding, redirecting it to nonprofits like the YMCA and Goodwill. Additional savings come from shifting hotel tax revenue and Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone funds to cover city initiatives like the World Heritage designation and outdoor exhibits. The mayor also plans to slash subsidies for Fiesta, UT Public Health, and Siclovia, using those savings to preserve 39 library jobs, four Metro Health positions, and an after-school program at Southwest ISD. She’s investing $2 million into Project QUEST as an alternative job-training solution. These moves are framed as strategic reallocations, not cuts. City council will vote on the plan soon; if no agreement is reached by September 17th, the City Manager must make painful cuts without raising property taxes—potentially slashing library hours and eliminating Café College.

    Sinclair Cuts Local News Staff Across Texas | San Antonio News

    San Antonio’s local news is reeling as Sinclair Broadcast Group cuts staff at WOAI and KABB, calling it a necessary pivot for long-term sustainability amid rising costs and shifting media habits. This follows similar layoffs across Texas — including CBS Austin — as stations nationwide streamline operations, adopt new tech, and adapt to economic headwinds. While Sinclair says the moves aren’t tied to performance and aim to support affected employees, the trend signals a broader shakeup in local journalism as traditional TV newsrooms scramble to stay relevant.
