25+ min ago (412+ words) By MATT BROWN and BILL BARROW From "Sleepy Joe" Biden references to painting Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump, the plaques include bombastic language written in Trumpian style. The installation is the Republican president's latest move to shape the White House in his image, an effort that has spanned from adorning the Oval Office to razing the East Wing in preparation for a massive ballroom addition. An introductory plaque tells passersby that the Presidential Walk of Fame was "conceived, built, and dedicated by President Donald J. Trump as a tribute to past Presidents, good, bad, and somewhere in the middle." Biden's plaque repeats false claims that the 46th president, a Democrat, took office "as a result of the most corrupt election ever," when, in fact, he defeated Trump in 2020 in both the popular vote and the Electoral…...

27+ min ago (831+ words) Behind the walkout are not only frayed labor relations, but a building itself under strain, with crumbling parts of the aging former palace now deemed unsafe. At the heart of the crisis lies a deeper rupture: a $102 million jewel heist that exposed security failures at the core of the institution and transformed long-simmering staff grievances into a national reckoning. Tensions were already rising when a wildcat June strike abruptly shut the museum, stranding visitors beneath I.M. Pei's glass pyramid. Weeks later, the Louvre closed offices and a public gallery because of weakened floor beams, deepening concern about neglect across the centuries-old complex. The October daylight robbery, in which thieves stole crown jewels, intensified scrutiny from lawmakers and auditors, reframing workplace complaints as questions of institutional failure. Culture Ministry officials tried to defuse the standoff by proposing to cancel a planned 2026 funding…...

That point was made as clear as Riedel crystal during a recent weekender at The St.Regis Kanai in Mexico's Yucat'n. Thanks to a pre'stay survey that asked for favorite indulgences, the ocean'view unit was furnished with a box of Cap'n Crunch and bottle of milk. Even sweeter than the cereal was the note they'd taken of a preference for the classic flavor. "Any allergies?" Yes " Crunch Berries. On another trip, at The St. Regis Longboat Key on Florida's Gulf Coast, a casual mention of Dodgers fandom prompted a surprise room delivery of sweets crowned with a cookie bearing the team's logo, perfectly timed before the guest settled in to watch a big playoff game on TV. Southern California…...

37+ min ago (443+ words) The three-judge panel for U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that Donald Trump may prevail in his argument that the president "possesses a unique power" to mobilize the Guard in Washington, which is a federal district. The ruling stops the implementation of U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb's Nov. 20 opinion and order, and reaffirms that residents and visitors to Washington will routinely see Guard members well into 2026. Cobb had ruled that the deployment illegally intrudes on local officials' authority to direct law enforcement in the District of Columbia. Wednesday's unanimous 32-page ruling went on to say that other factors also favored the Republican administration, including the "disruption to the lives of thousands of service members," as well as what it said was the president's interest "in the protection of federal governmental functions and property within the Nation's…...

54+ min ago (512+ words) By JOEY CAPPELLETTI and MATT SEDENSKY, Associated Press The hearing before the Senate Commerce committee is the first with the FCC since 2020, and also included the FCC's two other commissioners, Olivia Trusty and Anna M. Gomez. Each commissioner delivered opening statements, with Gomez, an appointee of President Joe Biden, saying that the FCC has "undermined its reputation as a stable, independent and expert-driven regulatory body." "Nowhere is that departure more concerning," Gomez said, "than its actions to intimidate government critics, pressure media companies and challenge the boundaries of the First Amendment." Since being tapped by President Donald Trump last November to lead the nation's top broadcast regulator, Carr has closely aligned with the administration's aggressive posture toward media outlets it views as hostile. He has launched FCC investigations into ABC, CBS and NBC News, in addition to some local stations. Trump…...

Some of it you might expect, but one major finding is one researchers have never seen before. "When we pulled up we couldn't believe everything was gone," said Altadena resident Claudine Eng.
