A debate over Sharia law is putting Texas at the center of a larger national conversation about religion, law and religious freedom. Republican leaders, including Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott, are calling for tougher action, while Muslim American leaders say Sharia is being widely misunderstood and does not replace U.S. law. Where should the line be drawn between protecting religious freedom and enforcing American law? #Texas #Sharia #ReligiousFreedom #Politics #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/politic…

Who should get the final say on the future of Dallas City Hall? A new petition drive could put that question directly in front of Dallas voters, as debate continues over what to do with the iconic I.M. Pei-designed building downtown. Should voters decide whether City Hall stays put, or should that decision remain with city leaders? Tell us what you think. #Dallas #DallasCityHall #DFW #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/local/c…

“Weird Al” Yankovic is playing Fort Worth tonight - but he’s also making his debut somewhere considerably farther away. Astronomers have officially given the five-time Grammy winner a permanent place in the solar system, and the story behind the honor is wonderfully appropriate for the man who gave us “White & Nerdy.” Tonight, he brings his Bigger & Weirder Tour to Dickies Arena. If you could name an asteroid after any musician, who gets your vote? #WeirdAl #FortWorth #DickiesArena #DFW #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/local/a…

Pope Leo XIV is weighing in on the escalating fight over who gets to cover the White House. Asked about President Trump’s decision to bar CNN, MS NOW and Politico, the pope reaffirmed his support for press freedom and the role journalists play in covering public figures. His comments come after a federal judge temporarily ordered the White House to restore the outlets’ access. How important is access to public officials when it comes to a free press? #PopeLeoXIV #WhiteHouse #PressFreedom #Media #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/politic…

The system that helps decide which vaccines Americans should get has essentially ground to a halt - and some big questions are piling up. Legal challenges and major changes under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have disrupted the CDC’s longtime vaccine recommendation process. That’s leaving unresolved questions involving flu, COVID-19 and HPV vaccines as doctors’ groups develop guidance of their own. How much confidence do you have in the federal government’s vaccine recommendations right now? #CDC #Vaccines #PublicHealth #HealthNews #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/politic…

Imagine spending $515 on a spot in a card break - and ending up with something worth more than $8 million. The one-of-one Cooper Flagg card featuring his autograph and the patch from his NBA debut just sold for a staggering price, putting it among the most expensive NBA cards ever sold. If you pulled a card worth millions, are you selling it immediately - or hanging onto it? #CooperFlagg #MFFL #DallasMavericks #SportsCards #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/local/c…

If you’ve noticed a lot more little noisy visitors hopping around North Texas lately, you’re definitely not imagining it. 🦗 Black field crickets are suddenly turning up in big numbers around lights, sidewalks and doorways across the Dallas area. Recent rain and cooler nights have helped create the annual surge - and there’s a reason they all seem to show up at once. Are they invading your neighborhood too - and what’s your best trick for keeping them outside? #Dallas #NorthTexas #Crickets #DFW #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/local/b…

General Mills tried to make Trix “healthier” and cereal fans lost it. Same year, Kraft quietly swapped the dyes in mac and cheese… and nobody blinked. One brand bragged. One kept it quiet. Guess which one had to reverse course. Watch to see why neon nostalgia beat the “right thing.” Would you have noticed if they didn’t tell you? #TheMoreYouJoe #Trix #FoodPsychology #WeirdHistory piped.video/shorts/pjjIaxPDZ…

One of the people wounded in the 2024 assassination attempt on Donald Trump has died. James “Jim” Copenhaver was sitting in the bleachers at the rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when gunfire erupted. He survived serious wounds and multiple surgeries, but continued dealing with the effects of his injuries. He was 76. How do you remember that day and the images that followed? #JamesCopenhaver #ButlerPA #KRLD #News audacy.com/krld/news/local/m…

Big Tex is back - and this year, your wallet may notice a difference. 🤠 The State Fair of Texas opens today at Fair Park with lower prices on admission, parking and many Midway rides and games. And tonight's opening ceremony comes with something you definitely won't see every day over Dallas - a military flyover featuring a B-52, F-35s and an A-10. What’s the first thing you’re doing - food, rides or a selfie with Big Tex? #StateFairOfTexas #BigTex #Dallas #FairPark #KRLD audacy.com/krld/news/local/s…

A 44-year-old mystery in an Idaho church just got a name. And investigators say it may connect to one of the most famous unsolved cases in American history. Seven people died in the Chicago area in 1982 after taking cyanide-laced Tylenol. No one was ever charged. Now a newly identified chemist who died the same year is part of the conversation. Does this finally crack the case, or open another one? audacy.com/krld/news/local/t… #KRLD #TylenolMurders #ColdCase #TrueCrime

Two of the world’s most powerful leaders are sitting down at the White House today - and the stakes go far beyond Washington. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping face major disagreements over trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan and Iran, even as both sides try to keep their relationship from deteriorating. What issue do you think should be at the top of the agenda when Trump and Xi meet? #Trump #XiJinping #China #USChina #KRLDNews audacy.com/krld/news/busines…

Could researchers finally be getting closer to answering one of archaeology’s most intriguing biblical mysteries? Drilling is now underway at a boat-shaped formation in eastern Turkey that some believe could contain the remains of Noah’s Ark. Researchers are collecting core samples from deep underground - but scientists caution that nothing found so far proves the site is actually the Ark. What do you think - intriguing evidence worth investigating, or simply a fascinating geological formation? #NoahsArk #Archaeology #Turkey #KRLDNews audacy.com/krld/news/local/r…

Saturday’s Texas-Tennessee showdown was already a big one. Now it’s getting a presidential-sized security upgrade. President Trump plans to attend the No. 1 Longhorns’ first-ever game at Neyland Stadium, where more than 100,000 fans are expected. The visit means extra security, checkpoints and likely delays - and College GameDay will be there, too. ([Audacy][1]) Does Trump’s appearance add to the excitement of a huge college football game - or become a distraction? #TexasLonghorns #HookEm #CollegeFootball #KRLDNews audacy.com/krld/news/local/t…

Dallas has two giant neon Pegasus signs downtown. Same flying red horse. Two different locations. Most people drive past both and never ask why the city needed a spare. One is the Dallas landmark you think you know. The other is the backup with a weirder origin story… and a reason it still lights up. Watch to find out which one is the original, where the twin came from, and why both are still on display in downtown. Which Pegasus do you notice first? #TheMoreYouJoe #Dallas #Pegasus #DowntownDallas #TexasHistory #DidYouKnow piped.video/shorts/fxPuCznSV…

A welfare check at a Flower Mound home turned into a death investigation after police made a disturbing discovery inside. Three people were found dead after two residents failed to show up for work and family members couldn’t reach them. Police say the victims are believed to be related, gunshots appear to have been involved, and there is no indication of an ongoing threat to the community. What questions do you want investigators to answer as more details emerge? #FlowerMound #DentonCounty #DFWNews #KRLDNews audacy.com/krld/news/local/f…
