The Daily Tar Heel published a column arguing that students diagnosing their peers with mental health conditions is not genuine support. The piece contends that labeling friends with disorders can replace real help, encouraging readers instead to listen, check in, and point people toward professional resources rather than acting as amateur clinicians.

Boise city officials are moving to address a downtown building they have labelled dangerous after years of waiting and a recent court ruling in the city's favour. Mayor Lauren McLean's administration signaled 'enough is enough,' indicating the city will now act to fix or secure the long-contested property.

A federal court has blocked enforcement of the labeling provisions of New Mexico's PFAS Protection Act. The law, aimed at regulating products containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, had required labeling disclosures for items containing the chemicals. The ruling pauses those requirements while legal challenges proceed, and industry observers are watching closely for what it means for similar state-level PFAS restrictions across the United States.

Proposed legislation known as the LABEL Act would require seafood products sold in the US to carry front-of-package labels stating their country of origin. Supporters argue the measure would help consumers know where their fish comes from and support domestic fisheries, while retailers and importers would face new labeling requirements.
