Two of the biggest universes in entertainment are finally sharing the same page.

For the first time, classic heroes from a galaxy far, far away will cross paths with Earth’s mightiest in a new comic series set for next year.

Which crossover matchup are you most curious to see?

A major budget proposal could soon bring big changes—and potential job cuts—to the City of Dallas as leaders work to balance rising costs and slowing growth.

While the multi-billion dollar plan includes tax rate adjustments and funding for public safety, dozens of city workers could be impacted if the proposal moves forward.

How do you feel about the city's approach to balancing the budget this year? Let us know in the comments.

For well over a decade, Trump has expressed his view — against medical groups’ guidance — that childhood vaccines should be administered in smaller doses over a long period of time. https://t.co/vBiQ0V2N7B

The Powerball jackpot is climbing into rare territory ahead of tonight’s drawing — and the odds are still longer than getting struck by lightning.

Your November ballot just got a new question, and it could cost you about $64 a year. Dallas County commissioners voted this week to let voters decide on a property tax increase aimed at tackling homelessness across the region.

The vote wasn't unanimous, and not everyone on the court is convinced it's the right call.

Would you vote yes on this one? Let us know below.

Summer's officially over for a big chunk of North Texas. More than 20 school districts head back to class Wednesday morning, and if you're anywhere near a campus, your commute is about to feel it. 🚸

Frisco, Coppell, Richardson, Keller, Lewisville and more are all welcoming students back, with school zones back in force and drop-off traffic expected to spike.

Is your district heading back today too? Tell us below.

A British radio station just got called out by regulators for a shocking on-air mistake that left listeners stunned.

During a routine studio check, a staff member accidentally triggered a pre-recorded emergency announcement about the king, followed by the national anthem and several minutes of silence. The station later apologized, but the regulator says it crossed a serious line on accuracy.

How big of a deal is an error like this when it involves a major public figure? Would you expect stricter controls on those emergency files?

Newly released private texts from early 2021 are raising fresh questions about how top health officials talked about vaccine risks for pregnant women behind closed doors.

Republican senators just put out messages involving Dr. Anthony Fauci and others that show them weighing concerns even as public messaging stayed more reassuring at the time. Later studies led to different official guidance, but the contrast is drawing attention.

Should private discussions like these have been shared more openly with the public? What do you think?

Students at one Fort Worth high school are heading back today under extra police presence after a tense first day.

A social media photo sparked a full campus lockdown Monday afternoon, leading to a room-by-room search and several detentions. Officials say no weapon was found and no one was hurt, but the district is keeping a closer watch this morning to help everyone feel safer.

How do you feel about the extra security after something like this? Would it make you more comfortable as a parent or student?

AI companies are quietly adding a new layer of tracking to the text their systems produce.

One major developer just announced that all fresh versions of its popular model will embed invisible signals into every response. The marks travel with the text even after light edits and are designed to help identify AI involvement without changing how the writing looks or reads.

Do you think invisible watermarks on AI text are a smart step toward transparency, or do they raise new privacy and creativity concerns? What’s your view?

Matthew is an accomplished actor and producer, and he's also a beloved local Austin icon. I was honored to be a part of last night’s event to rename Alamo Drafthouse’s Mueller location to the Matthew McConaughey Cinema.

The new Matthew McConaughey Cinema is a wonderful way to celebrate his professional accomplishments and celebrate someone who genuinely loves this City.

It's alright, alright, alright!

While assisting with a manhunt, a DPS aircraft was struck by a high-intensity green laser. Using onboard cameras, the aircrew quickly located the suspect, who was arrested.

⚠️Never point a laser at an aircraft - it can endanger lives.

A Dallas ISD officer is recovering after a frightening confrontation last week that left him wounded by his own gun.

Police say the officer was struggling with a suspect near a Walmart in Northeast Dallas when the man gained control of the service weapon and fired a single shot into the officer’s leg. The suspect was quickly taken into custody, and no one else was hurt.

How concerning is it when an officer’s own weapon is used against them during an arrest? What are your thoughts on officer safety in these situations?

Plano just put a big decision in voters’ hands that could reshape the local sports scene.

City leaders unanimously advanced a package of special taxes for the November ballot, tied to a massive proposed arena development. Officials say the plan focuses on visitors and event-goers rather than raising property taxes, but some neighbors already have questions about traffic and impact.

Would you support these kinds of taxes to help land a major league team in the suburbs? Share your take below.

New details just emerged about a highly unusual security move that kept the president’s true location hidden during a recent overseas trip.

U.S. officials reportedly used a multi-plane ruse and ground vehicle after detecting a credible threat, all while the press and staff traveled on a different aircraft. The operation stayed under wraps until newly published reports surfaced.

How far should security go to protect a president when foreign threats are involved? Does this level of secrecy surprise you?

Ever spend three hours assembling a bookshelf and suddenly feel like it belongs in a museum? 🔧

There’s a psychological reason we tend to value things more when we helped create them - even if the finished product is slightly crooked and came with three mysterious leftover screws.

It’s called the IKEA Effect, and it influences everything from furniture to relationships to ideas at work.

So why does a little sweat equity make something feel more valuable? That’s today’s The More You Joe.

What have you built yourself that you’re ridiculously proud of?

A major political event is coming to Dallas next month, and organizers are putting out a big call for help.

They need hundreds of volunteers each day to keep things running smoothly at the American Airlines Center, from guiding visitors to supporting operations on the ground. Local party groups are already spreading the word and accepting applications.

Would you be interested in volunteering for an event like this, or do you think these large gatherings put too much strain on the city? What’s your take?

Your morning commute is about to look a lot different starting today.

School is officially back in session across major North Texas districts, meaning reduced speed limits, active flashing lights, and extra law enforcement are back in full force near campuses. Ignoring those flashing beacons or passing a stopped bus could cost you a hefty fine—or worse, put a student in danger.

How does your local district’s first day impact your usual drive to work? Let us know in the comments!

Trump just called one of Governor Abbott's newest moves a "mistake," and it's all about what's happening under your feet right now — the power grid. 👀 A pause on new data centers has the president saying Texas could be missing out on billions... while state leaders say it's about keeping your lights on. Two very different views on what's really at stake for Texas.

Do you think Texas is right to hit pause, or is this costing us big?
