After the story was published, Wiles disparaged it as a "disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest President, White House staff, and Cabinet in history." "Significant context was disregarded and much of what I, and others, said about the team and the President was left out of the story," she wrote in a social media post. "I assume, after reading it, that this was done to paint an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the President and our team." In her rebuttal, Wiles argued that Trump had accomplished more in 11 months than any president had in eight years because…...

33+ min ago (474+ words) By KIMBERLEE KRUESI and LEAH WILLINGHAM Authorities released several new videos Monday of the man suspected in Saturday's mass shooting inside of a Brown classroom, which killed two students and wounded nine others. After releasing a person of interest in the case on Sunday because the evidence pointed elsewhere, they pleaded with the public for any tips that might help them catch the attacker. "We're asking for the public's assistance," Providence's police chief, Col. Oscar Perez, said at a news conference, urging people who might recognize the suspect to call a tip line. Anxiety is high in Providence, with investigators knocking on doors and poring through dumpsters and backyards near the Ivy League campus on Monday in search of additional video evidence or other clues. Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee requested additional police be sent to the city's schools to…...

While speaking to reporters, LAPD Captain Mike Bland said initial reports of a hot prowl burglary came in at 2:10 a.m. at an apartment complex on the 20300 block of Saticoy Street in Winnetka. Upon arrival, officers located a man armed with a metal pole outside the complex. When he failed to comply with orders, officers deployed a taser on him, which was ineffective, Bland said. Officers gave additional orders, which he again refused to comply with, according to Bland. At that point, officers fired gunshots at the man, striking him. The man, who remains unidentified publicly, was transported to a local hospital, where he remains in stable…...

1+ hour, 49+ min ago (753+ words) Southern California is filled with trendsetters and their followers, and that includes the region's restaurants. Some predictions for the year 2025, such as Yelp's assertion that "mushrooms are having a moment," weren't widely reflected on menus. But we saw several fads arrive and take off at Southern California restaurants in 2025. Here are five trends that we noticed. Dubai chocolate has been around for years, but this summer it seemed to be everywhere. The main ingredients of the confection are chocolate, pistachios and shredded phyllo, the dough used in baklava. Dubai chocolate was invented in 2021 and is often credited to Sarah Hamouda and Nouel Catis of Fix Dessert Chocolatier. It went viral on TikTok in 2024, with customers paying almost $40 for one hand-painted bar, delivered from the United Arab Emirates through Amazon. Dubai chocolate is considered a generic term, and high-profile domestic versions…...

2+ hour, 9+ min ago (591+ words) CHRISTINE BENZ of Morningstar Paired with high-deductible healthcare plans, health savings accounts help ease healthcare costs. HSAs are a triple tax-advantaged vehicle in the tax code, allowing for pretax contributions, tax-free compounding, and tax-free withdrawals for qualified medical expenses. However, few owners fund their HSAs to the maximum, and even fewer invest their HSA dollars outside a savings account. Most consumers likely don't fill their HSAs because they lack the financial means; critics note that the HDHP/HSA combination can be less beneficial for lower-income workers. But even wealthy consumers may decline to fully fund their HSAs. Many HSAs charge account-maintenance fees and extra costs for investing in long-term assets. Unlike 401(k)s, where participants are typically captive in employer plans, HSA savers can move money from one HSA to another via transfer or rollover. Below, how to know if your…...

2+ hour, 37+ min ago (306+ words) Is Santa still accepting Christmas wishes? Because I have a few. More than anything, I would love to see California's theme parks get back to plussing their holiday celebrations, rather than downsizing them. Fans fill the parks during Christmas season, spending on holiday food and merchandise in addition to tickets and parking. Those fans deserve to see parks reinvesting that money into the season, rather than simply banking extra profit at the end of the year. So what should parks improve? Let's work backward and start with what makes this season special: people and light, for the darkest time of year. Theme parks bring tens of thousands of people together each day, but for some the camaraderie of the season gets lost when they spend most their time there looking at animatronics or screens. So I wish for more investment…...
