While Frederick High had a week off, the news didn’t stop. Two members of the National Guard were shot on the same day that a Colorado lawmaker died in a multicar pileup. The Trump administration lost in court in their indictments of James Comey and Letitia James, but Trump scored a victory after his last remaining felony case was dismissed. Across the world, Israel continued actions against Gaza and their neighbors, Russia hit several civilian buildings in Ukraine, and a former Trump ally began his prison sentence after inciting an insurrection in 2023.
This week also marked the end of the regular season for college football (sadly, neither CU, CSU, nor UNC made playoffs for their respective conferences). While the Denver Broncos enjoyed a bye week, the Colorado Avalanche won two of their four games and still lead the Central West, and the Denver Nuggets only won one of their three games (they are 13-5).
In the world of media, Wicked: For Good opened and took home the highest international opening weekend gross for the year. Brenden Frasier’s Rental Family was the only other new film to hit the top 5, while the anime Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc dropped out of the top 10. On the small screen, the first part of Stranger Things: Season 5 hit Netflix. This was the forty-eighth week of 2025, which means that 90.5% of the year is over.
