By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN and SUDHIN THANAWALA WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Friday limiting federal judges from issuing nationwide injunctions threatens to upend numerous lawsuits that have led to orders blocking Trump administration policies. Between the start of the new administration and mid-May, judges issued roughly 40 nationwide injunctions against the White House on topics including federal funding, elections rules and diversity and equity considerations. Attorneys involved in some of those cases are vowing to keep fighting, noting the high court left open other legal paths that could have broad nationwide effect. Here’s a look at some of…
The clean slate that the Galaxy talked about in regards to the restart of the MLS season after the international break got off to a frustrating start. The Galaxy lost to the host Colorado Rapids, 2-0, on Wednesday night. Their point total and minus-23 goal differential are the league’s worst, but it was another performance that saw the Galaxy lose while creating very few clear-cut chances despite dominating possession of the ball. “Part of is, in the first half, we give up two goals and now they’re protecting a two-goal lead. I think in the second half, we make some…

By SONIA PÉREZ D. GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Guatemala President Bernardo Arévalo said Friday he has not signed an agreement with the United States to take asylum seekers from other countries, pushing back against comments from U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Noem and Arévalo met Thursday in Guatemala and the two governments publicly signed a joint security agreement that would allow U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to work in the capital’s airport, training local agents how to screen for terrorism suspects. But Noem said she had also been given a signed document she called a safe third country…

A federal judge has upheld a ruling directing OpenAI to preserve logs and data slated for deletion after news outlets including the New York Daily News suing the technology giant accused the company of hiding evidence of copyright infringement. The new ruling, issued Thursday in Manhattan Federal Court, denied the company’s objection to an earlier court order directing OpenAI to keep any data used to train its artificial intelligence bots — logs which plaintiffs say may contain details of widespread content piracy. OpenAI executives have maintained that they are merely safeguarding users’ privacy by objecting to any data retention request…
Sparks won’t be the only things flying this Fourth of July. Revelers who once could illegally ignite fireworks and scatter before police officers arrive or who suffer from collective amnesia when questioned about who lit the fuse may still find themselves lighter in the wallet. For the first time in parts of Southern California, stealthy aerial surveillance will attempt to nab them in the act. Riverside, Hemet and Brea, and possibly other cities, will launch drones to film illegal activity as municipalities increasingly marry new technology with old-fashioned legislation to prevent injuries and the type of fast-moving fires that devastated…
By MICHELLE L. PRICE, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said he’s immediately suspending trade talks with Canada over its plans to continue with its tax on technology firms, which he called “a direct and blatant attack on our country.” Trump, in a post on his social media network on Friday, said that Canada had just informed the U.S. that it was sticking to its plan to impose the tax set to take effect Monday. “Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the…

California’s weather whiplash has left the Golden State in a place of severe uncertainty about its diminishing water supply and increasing human and environmental demands for water. Research that my colleagues and I published last year, “The Magnitude of California’s Water Challenges” showed that Californians can expect their water supply to shrink 12 to 25% by 2050, up to 9 million acre-feet, or equal to one to two Lake Shastas. Our recent follow-up research, “Inaction’s Economic Cost for California’s Water Supply Challenges” (insert link once available) estimates the costs of such water supply losses. These economic losses could reach $3.4–6.4…
