Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond announced last week that a landmark $17.1 billion dollar multi-state settlement with Meta Platforms over the company’s harmful features to children and teens on Facebook and Instagram had been reached.

The agreement is one of the largest state consumer protection settlements in history. In addition to payment, Meta must implement a sweeping set of safety features designed to protect children on its social media platforms.

Under the settlement, Oklahoma will receive a guaranteed $235,578,728, which may increase to $334,107,696, if additional core industry members including Snap, YouTube, and TikTok agree to similar settlements. Drummond added that harmful online features extend well beyond any one company and credited Meta as the first major platform to reach a comprehensive resolution on youth safety.

The settlement also resolves Oklahoma's and the other states’ claims against Meta for sharing nonpublic information about Facebook users with third parties like Cambridge Analytica. This settlement is subject to the court’s approval. Read the full story in today's Weekend Edition of the Miami News-Record.

The Miami Police Department (MPD) expanded its behavioral health and disability-focused resources during August with four initiatives aimed at improving access to help, strengthening communication, and providing officers with additional tools during interactions with the community.

“These programs all look a little different, but the purpose behind them is the same,” Miami Police Lt. Jason Bissell said. “We want to connect people with resources, improve communication and give our officers additional tools to better understand the people they encounter.”

The initiatives include the addition of GRAND Mental Health Co-Responder Sarah Lopez, the placement of 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline decals on MPD patrol vehicles, implementation of the Blue Envelope Program, and the creation of the department's chapter with the National Public Safety Alliance for Individuals with Disabilities, or NPS-AID.

The Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) and partners welcomed a direct cutting of the historic George Washington Elm to the state, with the sapling to be placed on the grounds of the Oklahoma State Capitol in 2028. The tree is genetically identical to the tree that shaded George Washington in Cambridge, Massachusetts, when he accepted his commission as general of the Continental Army.

The process of cultivating a verified descendant sapling from a historic tree, such as those planted by George Washington at Mount Vernon, is intricate and time-consuming. Botanists must meticulously await the appropriate season to collect healthy branch cuttings or scion wood, which are only accessible during specific reproductive cycles.

The George Washington elm comes from the Arboretum at the University of Washington. Read the full story in tomorrow's Weekend Edition of the Miami News-Record.

Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College has officially announced NEO Baseball player Eliott Marin was named the recipient of the National Junior College Athletic Association Rawlings Gold Glove First Base for the 2026 spring season.

This award honors the top defensive college baseball players across Divisions I, II, and III. Baseball honorees are selected by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

"My two years at NEO gave me so much," said Eliott Marin. "I am grateful for the growth and memories my coaches and teammates gave me, and the friendships that made NEO feel like home. NEO showed me how to be a better person and gave me the opportunity to be a better baseball player. I could not think of a place I would have rather spent my first two years of college baseball. I am incredibly grateful for this award and for NEO Baseball helping achieve it."

Marin grew up in Quebec, Canada, where he attended Felix Leclerc High School. He attended NEO from 2024 to 2026. While at NEO, he was one of the only two team members to pitch and play in the infield and outfield. In Marin's two years as a Norseman, he hit .429, with 78 runs batted in, 20 doubles, and 13 home runs. Defensively, he boasted a .997 fielding percentage.
