Last update: an hour ago

Hazmat Alert: Crews in Southern California are racing to cool a pressurized chemical tank in Garden Grove after it overheated and began venting vapors, with 50,000 residents still under evacuation orders as officials warn an explosion is possible and say the “most likely scenario” is a low-volume release. CT Courts & Rules: Connecticut homeowners could face up to a $1,000 fine for painting a neighbor’s fence side they don’t own, a reminder that fence ownership rules vary sharply by state. Public Health: Tick season is spiking—ER visits for tick bites in Connecticut are at their highest for this time of year since 2017, as Lyme risk rises. Memorial Day Disruptions: Rain has forced multiple Connecticut parade cancellations, though some towns are still holding ceremonies. Prediction Markets Clash: A New York Times investigation says CFTC officials who challenged prediction-market firms were suspended, as the Trump administration faces renewed pressure over how it regulates platforms like Polymarket.
