with the board. with the vote passed. lori can now accept donations of up to $10 million without supervisor approval. the chronicle reported that the board of supervisors cautiously approved the legislation, instead of the original four years that lori had planned. legislators agreed to end the legislation in january. at that point, they will review how successful the program was. reggie. >> all right. thanks so much. today, president trump plans to sign an executive order banning transgender people from women's sports teams. the order will involve how his administration interprets title nine. that's the law that covers gender equity in athletics. every administration has the authority to issue its own interpretations of the landmark legislation. trump found during his campaign, issues involving transgender sports resonated across the usual party lines. more than half of voters surveyed by the associated press said support for trans rights in government and society has gone too far. the aclu the aclu has joined the

legal fight against president trump's executive order to stop gender affirming care for young people. under the order, pediatric gender affirming care will be excluded from medicaid, medicare and benefits packages for federal and postal service employees. the aclu says this forces families to choose between their children's health and uprooting their lives. >> president trump says the u.s. should take control of the gaza strip, even if it involves using military force. he made the comments while meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house. >> we'll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site level. the site and get rid of the destroyed buildings, level it out. create an economic development. >> the move would force millions of palestinians out of the area. trump also encouraged egypt and jordan to take in palestinians, even though both countries and the palestinian people reject that idea. netanyahu said he and

trump are still talking, acknowledging their ideas for gaza do differ. after visiting southern california last month, president trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to assert control over federal dams and aqueducts in california. last weekend, billions of gallons of water were released from two dams in the central valley. the president claimed the move gave l.a. and the entire state, quote, unlimited water. but that's just not true. there is no infrastructure to get it from those dams to southern california. the water released from the central valley is being saved. was being saved for the dry summer months, but flowed into a dry lake bed and mostly soaked into the ground. >> a real danger, both in the short term and because the farms that we're relying on that water for summer irrigation now, now may not have that water to use. >> the water supply in southern california comes partly from state water projects and water

from the colorado river. >> california legislators are analyzing the impact of president trump's threat to severely shrink the department of education. while federal funding only accounts for about 10% of school district budgets. it does pay for programs for students with disabilities. it's also used as supplemental funding for schools in underserved areas. the president has already signed an executive order to direct more tax dollars to private schools. >> their proposal is to gut investment in public education and transfer it to private schools. >> the president says he wants to send control back to the states, but curriculum is already set at the state and local levels. other programs like head start, preschool programs and school meals are not run by the education department. >> new developments. effective today, the united states postal service will continue accepting

cable car stations as memorable as the cars themselves. downtown boosters and city officials want to make the station on california street instagrammable by installing a new art sculpture. the sculpture would feature a heart bordered by the letters s.f. you can see it right there on the screen. officials also want to add signs that would inform visitors of the cable cars history, and how to use the system. this is right by the hyatt downtown, if you can imagine where that is, because right now there's really nothing marking that space. >> teachers and dozens of california school districts are banding together to negotiate union contracts. the pact includes 77,000 educators from 32 school districts. and while they won't be negotiating one giant contract, they have agreed to negotiate for a shared vision

they're purchasing their own tools. we were seeing that happening in the csu, and we realized we can't let some universities go ahead while others fall behind. so we needed to provide a common tool. >> the curriculum includes chatgpt edu. that's a customized version of chatgpt created specifically for educational institutions. there's also apprenticeship programs within ai enabled organizations. >> california's monarch butterfly population has biologists concerned. the annual butterfly count revealed only 9000 of the insects returned to california in 2024, after their migration to the rocky mountains or mexico. while that may seem like a lot, previous years have counted more than 200,000 butterflies. this is the lowest total since 2020, where biologists counted under 2000. scientists believe the fall is likely due to the intense climate changes, and that the state has seen this year. >> now it's your morning money
