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.

The whole Toronto bullpen has it too, it's bigger than baseball, we love y'all.'"

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.

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'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.

That's particularly true of Blake Snell, who tells Harris that he delayed his offseason throwing program after feeling "exhausted" at the end of the Fall Classic.
