Some of the things that I want to do is try to help little kids to become more economically inclined to manage their own money. Stop wasting it all and look for the future. These knucklehead kids, they are our future, you know.
The state's vehicle code currently requires that cities and counties sell impounded vehicles that are worth more than $500 at auction. AB 630, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in October, increased the financial threshold for L.A. and Alameda counties, allowing them to dismantle vehicles worth up to $4,000. That, in turn, spares those jurisdictions from going through the more cumbersome process of auctioning off the vehicles, backers of the bill said.
Cops in Los Angeles on Wednesday arrested five people in Corona on shocking charges of operating a multi-million dollar cargo theft ring.

Firefighters responded after several fireworks were shot from the bridge by an unidentified group of people, lighting up the sky and showering the asphalt with sparks as people got up close to take video and pictures. The Instagram-popular bridge has been the site of takeovers and taggers, arch climbers and copper-wire thieves since it was completed in July of 2022. Someone got a haircut as cars whizzed past.
Welcome to February's gym crunch time, when winter sports teams such as basketball are busy with playoffs and spring sports teams such as volleyball are gearing up for the start of their season. "It's pretty brutal," said 6-foot-8 volleyball standout Blake Fahlbusch, who would prefer surfing in the morning and practicing volleyball in the afternoon. Veteran coach Michael Boehle, sipping coffee, understands the routine is only temporary and does his best to get his players focused on their early morning routine.
We are taking back the streets. We are taking back the power. Last year, my neighbor's teenage daughter was too scared to go to school because their home was broken into. Everything was stolen from them. Now we have kids who are happy to be outside and play on the streets. We went from a high level of crime in 2025 to zero once we got these cameras and warning signs installed.
And while Monday was a slow news day overall, it was fun to see JR Ritchie and Didier Fuentes named in the top 100 prospects at Fangraphs. While it is surprising that Cam Caminiti was not on the list, these three young arms appear to be the best of Atlanta's farm system currently. Their development will be a big story line this season.
To start with the big picture: this organization still has something a lot of teams can dream of-a loyal fanbase and stability. They know who they are. The Kings play structured, responsible hockey. The team doesn't usually get blown out, they don't chase offense recklessly, and when they're on, they drag games right into their comfort zone: tight, controlled, and sometimes downright suffocating.

"And I just wanna say thank you to them. When Kay and I were watching the World Series, we noticed that there was 51 on Louis Varland's hat. I immediately texted Gus Varland, his brother, and I asked him if I was seeing that correctly. He texted me back right away, and he said, 'the Varlands love you, dude. The whole Toronto bullpen has it too, it's bigger than baseball, we love y'all.'"
The high school basketball playoffs begin on Wednesday throughout the Southland, and there's no doubt what should be the best opening matchuip in the City Section: San Pedro at Washington Prep. No. 5-seeded San Pedro (22-6) won the Marine League title and has a veteran team under coach John Bobich.

On Feb. 10, 2020, the Los Angeles Dodgers finalized their three-team trade with the Boston Red Sox and Minnesota Twins to acquire Mookie Betts and David Price. It marked the end of a whirlwind period that saw multiple deals fall apart. The Red Sox initially were set to receive Alex Verdugo and Brusdar Graterol, but sought additional compensation after taking issue with the latter's medicals. The right-hander instead was sent to the Dodgers for a package that centered around Kenta Maeda.

Chef DK Kolender (formerly of Tartine and Dudley's Market) runs the kitchen, serving a crowd-pleasing menu full of Italian, French, and continental American touches

Los Angeles has so much more to offer culture-wise beyond movies and music-it actually has more museums per capita than any other city in the United States, including Washington, D.C., and New York City.

Los Angeles's restaurants continue to face difficult headwinds, starting in 2020 with the onset of a global pandemic and exacerbating with the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023, which led to an industry-wide slowdown that's continued into 2026. From the lingering effects of the Hollywood strikes to rising costs (labor, rent, ingredients, etc.), many factors continue to strain restaurant owners operating on razor-thin margins.
Through throwback posts, people have been traveling back to the year when dog and flower crown Snapchat filters, Instagram eyebrows, the mannequin challenge and the Chainsmokers were everywhere. But why, you may ask? On social media, 2016 is remembered as the last carefree era, a time when people posted whatever they wanted without overthinking it, when folks actually danced at parties instead of pointing their phones at the DJ booth to "capture content."
There was no reason to believe Scott wouldn't perform as he was coming off an All-Star season where he sported a 1.18 ERA with the Miami Marlins and a 2.73 ERA with the San Diego Padres after being traded at the deadline. In 2025, Scott's All-Star form was long forgotten as he produced a 4.74 ERA across 57 innings last season. He recorded an MLB-leading 10 blown saves.
