Nearly six decades ago, the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy came to California and gave a resounding speech on the virtues of decency that holds permanence today.“If there is one overriding reality in this country,” he proclaimed, “it is the danger that we have an erosion of a sense of national decency.” Famously, he continued, “Poverty in this country is indecent.”With news of a $31.5 billion budget deficit reverberating across the California, there is no better time to summon the late senator’s words and place them in the context of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal to address it.In a state so full of riches and wealth, poverty is a policy choice. I see it every day in Half Moon Bay, a luxurious coastal enclave where the farmworker community perpetually struggles to afford a basic living.In the coming days, the budget decisions this governor and Legislature make will shape the contours of morality for the next generation to emulate.Already, Newsom’s latest announcement that California will...Longshore union, employers reach labor deal, ending 13 months of West Coast tensions

The West Coast longshore union and its employers have agreed to a tentative six-year contract, ending 13 months of negotiations that saw tensions rise in recent weeks, as well as accusations and recriminations about bad-faith actions, and the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach fretting about lost business.The two sides announced the deal on Wednesday evening, June 14.Gary Herrera, president of the union’s local chapter, confirmed the deal.The deal, which would apply to 22,000 dockworkers at 29 West Coast ports, still needs to be ratified by longshore union members, Herrera said. It’s unknown when a ratification vote would occur.The union and the Pacific Maritime Association, which represents employers, said in a joint press release Wednesday that they would not release contract deals at this time.But the announcement came a day after the Journal of Commerce, a trade publication that covers ports, reported PMA and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union had agreed to a “cool...Necropsy finds beloved California mountain lion P-22 had kidney disease, organ damage, mange

A combination of incurable kidney disease, organ damage most likely from being struck by a vehicle and a debilitating skin infection led veterinarians to euthanize Los Angeles’ most famous mountain lion six months ago, according to a report released Wednesday, June 14.Details from a necropsy confirmed what biologists feared after they captured a sickly P-22 last December after noticing that he was acting erratically. The wild puma, beloved by Southern Californians and the world, living on his own for 10 years mostly within the confines of the city’s Griffith Park, would not have survived very long in a wildlife sanctuary, the National Park Service reported.Two issues doomed the wild cat: kidney disease found when veterinarian pathologists did a computed tomography (CT) scan of P-22 at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, and a hernia that violently moved his liver and connective tissue from his abdomen into his chest cavity.P-22 would have required major surgery to repair the organ damage...Texas migrants bused to Southern California in latest salvo from immigration wars

Mirroring recent moves by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, dozens of immigrants were bused from the Texas border area to Los Angeles and dropped off on Wednesday, June 14, at downtown’s Union Station, at the behest of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, prompting a swift rebuke from L.A.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and legislative leaders are flying blind as they attempt to fashion a new state budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1.They know the state faces a multi-billion-dollar deficit that the budget will attempt to close — at least on paper — but they really don’t know how big it could be because they don’t really know how much revenue the state’s tax system will generate.Not only have revenues stagnated over the last year, thanks to gyrations in the stock market and the larger economy, but the unprecedented six-month delay in the deadline for filing federal and state income tax returns creates even more uncertainty about how much money politicians have to spend.Newsom picked a number — a guess, really — and declared in May that the state has a $31.5 billion deficit to close. The Legislature’s budget analyst, Gabe Petek, then declared that revenues would fall short of Newsom’s assumption and raised the projected deficit by several billion do...El papa Francisco recibirá el alta hospitalaria este viernes, según el Vaticano

MADRID (AP) — Holding up the same No. 5 shirt once donned by Zinedine Zidane, Jude Bellingham completed his move to Real Madrid on Thursday after signing a six-year deal with Europe’s most successful club.Bellingham posed with his new shirt before Madrid’s packed trophy case after he passed his medical exam and signed the contract alongside club president Florentino Pérez.“I have said in many interviews how much I admire Zinedene Zidane,” Bellingham said about his new No. 5 after having worn 22 with his former clubs. “I am not trying to be the same as him, I am just trying to be Jude, but it is definitely a bit of a homage to how great he was.”Despite reportedly being a transfer target for several top European clubs, including Manchester City and Manchester United, Bellingham opted to move to the Spanish club that has won the European Cup a record 14 times.Pérez called Bellingham one of the “best players in the world” and underscored that while he had other clubs after h...Two-time Academy Award-winning British actress Glenda Jackson dies at 87
