Oceania Swimming Buzz: Pacific swimmers are turning heads at the 14th Oceania Swimming Championships in Suva, with Fiji, Tahiti, Sāmoa and the Cook Islands pushing back against long-time New Zealand and Australia dominance—officials say the medal gap is closing fast, and Fiji’s Samuel Yalimaiwai grabbed gold in the men’s 50m breaststroke with a new championship record. Compact of Free Association Watch: A new U.S. government report flags slow breakdowns in COFA funding oversight—payments have been late and required audit reports from FSM, RMI and Palau have also been late since 2019, with project delays blamed on late disbursements and rising costs. American Samoa Budget Pressure: FY2026 Q2 revenue is about 13.2% under projections, prompting a hiring pause and tighter spending, including postponing non-essential travel. Local Cost of Living: Inflation in American Samoa rose 1.0% for a second straight month, with transport costs leading the way as airfares jump 13.0%. Community & Jobs: USPS is holding a job fair May 14 in Quincy for full-time Automotive Technicians, starting at $32.13/hour with federal benefits.
