CNN and CNBC are integrating prediction-market odds into news coverage through Kalshi — what does that do to journalism and audience behavior? Then: a DoorDash delivery alleged tampering case caught on a doorbell camera and a larger discussion of surveillance as deterrence. Next: the latest tanning bed research showing a much higher melanoma risk and why the DNA evidence matters. After that: a surge of threats against elected officials following presidential attacks, including swatting and bomb threats, and why intimidation has a long political history. Closing with Student Question of the Day: Marco asks how small daily challenges build long-term confidence.
