I’m 67. I have a mortgage and a 401k. I drive a 2014 Chevy Impala and never heard of any of the musical guests on SNL. I have pasty skin and need SPF 50 to fetch the paper out of the driveway. Standing in the sun for hours with a placard is not my natural habitat. Until January 6, 2021, I was a Republican. Clearly, I do not fit the profile of a radical leftist. Yet, I found myself last Saturday marching alongside people who do. Scattered among the multitudes gathered at Topanga Canyon and Victory Boulevards at the “No…
We often believe we’re teaching our children about money when we hand them an allowance, open a savings account in their name or help them plan a budget. And while these are important steps, the most powerful financial lessons our children receive are the ones we don’t realize we’re giving. Every day, our children are observing how we handle money. They’re listening to how we talk — or don’t talk — about finances. They’re noticing whether money is treated with stress or with confidence, secrecy or openness. Long before they ever balance a checkbook or apply for a loan, they’ve…
LOS ANGELES — Like a dieter minding their calories, the Dodgers have to curb their appetite. “It always feels good to write his name in the lineup,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said of catcher Will Smith. On his way to a third consecutive All-Star selection, Smith is batting .325 with a National League-high .424 on-base percentage to go with a .949 OPS. No one in baseball has been better with runners in scoring position than Smith, who is 26 for 60 (.433) with 36 RBIs in those situations. But at least twice a week, Roberts has to deny the urge…
By MATTHEW BROWN A man who brought a rifle to a “No Kings” rally in Utah — prompting an armed safety volunteer to open fire and accidentally kill a protester — has been released from jail while the investigation continues. Salt Lake District Attorney Sim Gill’s office said Friday that it was unable to make a decision on charges against Arturo Gamboa, 24, who had been jailed on suspicion of murder following the June 14 shooting. Salt Lake City police had said Gamboa brought an assault-style rifle to the rally and was allegedly moving toward the crowd with the weapon…

By HOLLY RAMER and ARON RANEN NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — A Palestinian activist who was detained for more than three months pushed his infant son’s stroller with one hand and cheered as he was welcomed home Saturday by supporters including U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Mahmoud Khalil greeted friends and spoke briefly to reporters at New Jersey’s Newark International Airport a day after leaving a federal immigration facility in Louisiana. A former Columbia University graduate student and symbol of President Donald Trump ’s clampdown on campus protests, he vowed to continue protesting Israel and the war in Gaza. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,…

Seventy years after President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned about the cost of a military-industrial complex, America is still stealing from its own people to fund a global empire. In 2025 alone, the U.S. has launched airstrikes in Yemen, bombed Houthi-controlled ports and radar installations (killing scores of civilians), deployed greater numbers of troops and multiple aircraft carriers to the Middle East, and edged closer to direct war with Iran in support of Israel’s escalating conflict. Each of these “new” fronts has been sold to the public as national defense. In truth, they are the latest outposts in a decades-long campaign…
By AAMER MADHANI and JOSH BOAK, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump expressed certainty that his big gamble to directly assist the Israelis delivered a knockout blow to Iran’s nuclear program — even as many supporters and detractors alike were warning that U.S. military action could draw the U.S. into an expansive regional conflict. Trump, in brief remarks to the nation on Saturday evening from the White House, said the strikes “obliterated” three critical Iranian enrichment facilities and “the bully of the Middle East must now make peace.” But it’s a risky moment for Trump, who has belittled his predecessors…
