Opinion: This is just the beginning for Trump
Published Fri, 08 Nov 2024 23:52:21 GMT
Here’s an important thing to remember: This is probably just the beginning. The end is unforeseeable.That’s because the unprecedented indictment of Donald Trump by a New York County grand jury on charges of paying “hush money” to a former porn star is almost certainly the first of several criminal charges he will face.The former president faces potentially far more serious allegations, most stemming from his extra-legal efforts to reverse his 2020 election defeat. They include pressuring Georgia officials to change the state’s outcome, resisting efforts to retrieve illegally possessed classified documents and inciting the insurrection to prevent Congress from ratifying electoral votes.These cases – and any indictments and trials that may flow from them – are likely to dominate the political news for months, freezing the current situation in which Trump is the solid GOP front-runner and the November 2024 outlook remains very much in doubt.That also means that the arguments – and the ...FDA plans to allow a second updated COVID booster for vulnerable Americans

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration plans to allow older and immunocompromised Americans to get a second updated coronavirus booster shot in the near future, an acknowledgment of the virus’s continuing risks to vulnerable people whose immunity might be sagging months after a previous inoculation.Federal regulators are expected to authorize the additional dose in the next few weeks, according to people familiar with the agency’s planning. Those 65 and older would be able to receive the vaccine free of charge at least four months after their previous updated shot. Those with immune deficiencies would also be eligible.Regulators are expected to authorize the additional dose without explicitly recommending it for those groups, a stance that emphasizes the discretion of patients and their health providers. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is expected to sign off on the decision — a customary step in the regulator...Supervisor Solis Retracts Proposal To ‘Depopulate’ Jails In L.A.

Supervisor Hilda Solis pulled back a motion to “decarcerate” and “depopulate” jails in L.A. County after hearing concerns from stakeholders.Solis said Monday, she wanted the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors to use its “limited” power to allow the release of some inmates, but will now seek further input on how to improve the proposal.“I introduced the motion as a way to strike a balance with both justice-involved advocates and public safety representatives,” Solis said in a statement. “Since the motion was published, my office has received concerns from a variety of stakeholders — those who feel the motion is not doing enough and those who feel it is doing too much. To that end, I will be referring the motion back to my office so that I can continue to gather input from all stakeholders.”Some of the voices concerned with the motion were those of the Los Angeles Association of Deputy District Attorneys (LAADD), who cal...A Look Into The Most Expensive Yoga Class In The World

A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck Tuesday afternoon south of Hollister, rattling communities across the South Bay and the Central Coast.The quake struck at 3:23 p.m. about one mile from Tres Pinos, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The epicenter appears to have been about 5.7 miles underground, the agency said.Light shaking could be felt throughout the Bay Area and the Central Coast, according to reports that streamed into the USGS’s website in the minutes after the quake. Some people reported feeling the earthquake as far south as Big Sur and as far east as the Sierra Nevada foothills, east of Merced. Others reported light shaking in the Modesto area as well.The temblor ranks among the strongest to shake the Bay Area or the surrounding region since a 5.1 quake hit eastern Santa Clara County in late October.

SAN JOSE – Matt Nieto watched last year as Andrew Cogliano raised the Stanley Cup over his head just a few months after he was acquired by the Colorado Avalanche from the San Jose Sharks.Now Nieto wants to experience that same feeling, as he’s fit right back in with an Avalanche team that fully expects to go on another deep playoff run this spring.“That’s the goal for sure,” said Nieto, who also played with the Avalanche from 2016 to 2020. “Right when I got traded here and conversations I had with staff and players, everyone wants to repeat that again. Just watching the work that we do every day, guys are really committed to succeeding and making sure that happens.”Both Nieto and Cogliano were back in San Jose on Tuesday for the first time since they were each traded by the Sharks to Colorado. The Avalanche acquired Cogliano from the Sharks for a draft pick at the trade deadline last year, and picked up Nieto and defenseman Ryan Merkley on Jan. 25 for forward Martin Kaut and d...Tracy man arrested in 2021 Oakland shooting, allegedly identified by his Raiders hat and surveillance footage
