			<description><![CDATA[
	Cherokee Film Institute is accepting applications for its June and October sessions as the tribally-operated program expands training opportunities for Native American and local talent seeking careers in Oklahoma&amp;rsquo;s growing film and media industry.

	Applications are open to individuals ages 18 and older and are available at CherokeeFilmInstitute.com.

	The institute, which describes itself as the world&amp;rsquo;s first tribally operated film education and workforce development center, provides industry-focused training for careers in film and media production.

	Since launching in 2024, the certification program has graduated 36 students, many of whom have gone on to work in acting, production assistance, producing, wardrobe, art department, podcasting and stunt work, according to the institute.

	Program officials said increasing demand prompted the addition of summer and fall sessions in 2026, along with a shift to year-round applications.

	CFI&amp;rsquo;s curriculum emphasizes hands-on production training, craft development and apprenticeship opportunities designed to prepare students for professional work in the industry.

	&amp;ldquo;This is such an exciting time for CFI as we see the real impact our program is having on the industry,&amp;rdquo; said Brettlyn Bevenue, program manager for Cherokee Film Institute. &amp;ldquo;Our local and Native talent are ready and exceedingly capable for the opportunities that lie ahead, and as CFI graduates, they are well-positioned to develop meaningful careers in an industry they love &amp;mdash; right here in Oklahoma.&amp;rdquo;

	Cherokee Film Institute is part of the broader Cherokee Film ecosystem within the Cherokee Nation Reservation. The initiative also includes Cherokee Film Productions, Cherokee Film Studios and the Cherokee Film Commission, all aimed at expanding Native storytelling and creating economic development opportunities within the reservation.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Ppool said, &amp;quot; Our chief instructional officer, Tara Gottwald, wrote a grant working with Representative Strom and that went through. So Tri-County has put a little funding in as well to make this happen.&amp;quot; He added, &amp;quot;It&amp;#39;s basically a fire station on campus. It&amp;#39;s minus the living quarters, those will be classrooms. So it&amp;#39;s a two bay garage that&amp;#39;ll house a fire truck.&amp;quot;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Ppool said Tri County Tech will break ground on the Emergency Services Center on June 11th.

	&amp;nbsp;

	Along with the police training, Tri County Tech had been doing fire training since they built the fire tower, burn tower, and they&amp;#39;ve had a lot of fire academies. One academy finished just this weekend with another 15 people.&amp;nbsp;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Ppool said,&amp;quot; it&amp;#39;s been a real blessing for us on that side of things because of the success. We&amp;#39;ve started a fire high school program that does a one year, they get a fire certification and an EMT certification. So they do that in one year.&amp;nbsp; the first group that just graduated Tuesday night.&amp;quot;

	&amp;nbsp;

	Ppool describes it as basically a fire station on campus. It&amp;#39;s minus the living quarters, those will be classrooms. So it&amp;#39;s a two bay garage that&amp;#39;ll house a fire truck. he said, &amp;quot;We&amp;#39;ve got all sorts of tank filling machines and bottles. There&amp;#39;s locker rooms for safe storage of gear that&amp;#39;s been in the live burn situations. And then there&amp;#39;ll be three classrooms where our high school will be there as well as everything we do on the short term adult career industry side.&amp;quot;

			<title><![CDATA[Congress Gets Grounded]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA[
	Congress may finally face the same punishment parents have used for decades: &amp;ldquo;You&amp;rsquo;re not leaving this house until your work is finished.&amp;rdquo; Oklahoma Senator James Lankford joined forces with New Hampshire Democrat Maggie Hassan to reintroduce the Prevent Government Shutdowns Act of 2026, a bipartisan proposal aimed at ending the endless cycle of government shutdown showdowns that Americans are about as tired of as election-year text messages. The bill would automatically keep the government funded in two-week stretches if Congress misses its spending deadlines, while lawmakers and staff would essentially be locked in Washington until they finish the job. No taxpayer-funded getaway trips, no long recesses, and no escaping town for ribbon cuttings while the budget sits unfinished on the desk collecting dust.

	Lankford said Americans are &amp;ldquo;tired of worthless government shutdown drama,&amp;rdquo; arguing the pressure should fall on Congress instead of federal workers and families caught in the middle. The legislation has backing from a surprisingly wide coalition ranging from unions to conservative advocacy groups, proving that few things unite Washington quite like the shared fear of making lawmakers stay in D.C. longer than absolutely necessary. The bill would also freeze most congressional business until spending bills are completed, although exceptions would kick in after 30 days for major nominations and expiring programs. Companion legislation has also been introduced in the House, where lawmakers now get the rare opportunity to prove they can, in fact, walk and pass a budget at the same time.
