The Packers gain a measurement of revenge

The Packers restored immoderate equilibrium successful their rivalry pinch the Chicago Bears, defeating a Caleb Williams-less Bears squad 31-7.

It was the teams’ first matchup since Chicago’s epic comeback successful the wild-card information of past year’s playoffs. The Bears had won 2 successful a statement successful the series, besides authoring a come-from-behind triumph past regular season.

This time, the Packers dominated connected some sides of the ball. Green Bay held Ben Johnson’s discourtesy successful check, while Jordan Love had his finest crippled of the season. Love completed 25 of 31 passes for 367 yards, 2 touchdowns and a season-best 137.5 passer rating.

Johnson has made nary concealed of his distaste for Green Bay since he took complete successful Chicago. After a frosty handshake pursuing past winter’s playoff game, Johnson and Packers coach Matt LaFleur had a (relatively) friends speech Sunday.

Drake Maye is afloat back

After a unspeakable commencement to the season, Maye, the New England Patriots quarterback, has now strung together 2 consecutive games reminiscent of the subordinate who vanished 2nd successful MVP voting successful 2025.

Minnesota will play the Colts successful Week 6 earlier its schedule gets tough: The Vikings will play the Detroit Lions, the Buffalo Bills, the Packers and the San Francisco 49ers successful November.

The Lions’ model to contend is still open

Two years aft the NFC North was the NFL’s champion division, it’s afloat of bully but not awesome teams. Count the Detroit Lions among them. The Lions’ 164 points (a 32.8-point average) are the 2nd about successful franchise history done 5 weeks of a season, but they person needed to people that overmuch to outplay a porous defense allowing 29.6 points.

On Sunday, aft punts connected their first 3 drives, the Lions (3-2) scored connected their pursuing 7 consecutive possessions to easy hit Arizona and gain their first roadworthy triumph this season.

A week of down-to-the-wire endings

Sunday began pinch a stunner and ended pinch the season’s 5th overtime. In London, aft Philadelphia took a lead pinch 8 seconds left, Jacksonville returned its ensuing kickoff heavy capable to get into field-goal scope and besides accelerated capable to time off 1 2nd connected the clock. The Jaguars past kicked a walk-off winning section extremity to hit Philadelphia successful what Jacksonville backmost Trevor Lawrence called “maybe the craziest crippled I’ve ever been a portion of.”

Why footwear it straight to a returner?

“I mislaid america that game,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said.

Even much inexplicable was Washington’s necktie pinch the New York Giants, erstwhile the timepiece ran retired successful overtime earlier the Commanders, who didn’t person a timeout, could extremity the timepiece and footwear a section goal. Why let backmost Jayden Daniels to tally the shot and support the timepiece moving pinch only seconds left? Washington coach Dan Quinn blamed himself.

“Sunday Night Football” connected NBC offered an due bookend to a chaotic day. After Baltimore scored a game-tying touchdown and 2-point conversion pinch 40 seconds near successful regulation, Atlanta couldn’t muster a game-winning thrust erstwhile backmost Michael Penix Jr. was deed difficult and knocked retired of the game. In the season’s 5th overtime game, Baltimore scored first and Atlanta had 1 last opportunity to match. But backup backmost Tua Tagovailoa threw an interception connected Atlanta’s 2nd play, and the Ravens (4-1) hung connected 30-23.

And past location were ...

... 3 undefeated teams and 3 winless teams left.

San Francisco survived by inches to triumph successful Seattle successful 1 of the champion games of the play to commencement 5-0 for the 5th clip successful the Super Bowl era. On the different extremity of the standings, Houston (1-4) and Tampa Bay (1-4) some earned their first wins during Week 5. Still searching for their ain are Miami, Tennessee and the Los Angeles Chargers, each 0-5.

The Chargers put together yet different capacity afloat of either botched plays aliases bad luck, depending connected your perspective, including a fumble by backmost Justin Herbert erstwhile his ain lineman’s ft accidentally kicked the shot retired of his manus midway done the 4th quarter. The Chargers ne'er led again aft that turnover.

After the remnants of Tropical Storm Rachel damaged coastal homes successful Long Beach and brought flooding and debris flows to the Coachella Valley, National Weather Service forecasters task the worst has passed for Southern California — but threats stay for communities on the coast.

Wind advisories across inland deserts were group to expire early Monday morning. Coastal flooding advisories from San Diego done San Luis Obispo, however, stay successful place, pinch 2 much sets of perchance damaging precocious tides projected for Monday and Tuesday mornings.

Currently, the about utmost precocious tides are occurring betwixt 10 and 11 a.m., pinch milder secondary precocious tides betwixt 11 p.m. and midnight. Although the greeting precocious tides complete the play qualified arsenic insignificant flooding, the nighttime precocious tides did not.

Preliminary readings adjacent Long Beach measured Sunday morning’s tide about 7.6 feet. Forecasters pinch the upwind work predicted Monday’s and Tuesday’s greeting tides would scope about 7.5 feet.

The coastal flooding advisories farther north, successful Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, widen done Monday morning’s precocious tide. The advisories farther south, from San Diego to Ventura, widen done Tuesday’s.

The upwind work warned that further isolated harm was imaginable but unlikely. Beach erosion and flooding of formation parking tons and pathways are likely.

Threats besides stay from beardown rip currents and ample waves, which summation the consequence of water drowning and could frighten to capsize mini boats adjacent shore. On Sunday morning, a man died astatine Dockweiler Beach, and authorities were investigating whether he drowned owed to large wind conditions.

The wide mellowing of the forecast comes arsenic the grade of coastal harm remains little than what immoderate officials feared.

The impacts were terrible for immoderate homes connected the Long Beach Peninsula, arsenic the large wind swept distant a information of the historical boardwalk and damaged aggregate houses. But successful Newport Beach, officials said the metropolis had so acold avoided awesome harm and flooding aft moving about the timepiece to statement up berms.

Experts property the highly lukewarm water temperatures that fueled Rachel, which peaked arsenic a Category 3 hurricane, successful portion to El Niño. UC Agriculture and Natural Resources ambiance intelligence Daniel Swain also placed blasted on a months-long marine heatwave preceding El Niño, arsenic good arsenic human-caused ambiance change.

Although Rachel was only the 2nd clip successful history that Southern California received a Tropical Storm Watch, Swain said successful a caller webinar it’s imaginable the region could spot different tropical large wind earlier hurricane play comes to an end.

“It’s getting a small late, but the water is truthful lukewarm that we can’t norm retired much tropical impacts into precocious October, possibly moreover early November,” he said.

Beyond hurricanes, El Niño is already bringing higher oversea levels, and it increases the likelihood California will spot a peculiarly bedewed winter.

But first, the National Weather Service forecasts Southern California will plaything to the different broadside of the spectrum by the extremity of the week: precocious temperatures, barren aerial and immoderate of the first Santa Ana winds of the play are expected, carrying a heightened imaginable for wildfires.

The occurrence upwind is projected to statesman Thursday and past done Saturday.

Aad Kessler, a interrogator astatine the Netherlands’ Wageningen University who studies sustainable onshore management, said the volition to regreen was “highly laudable,” but that the run raises basal questions that are difficult to reply from the outside. “How galore of these trees survive? Where do they works those trees?” he said.

Ideally, he added, “you impact the section population, creating ownership, and works the trees connected sites wherever they could h2o them if needed, which requires investing successful awareness-raising.”

Abreham Berta Aneseyee, an biology intelligence astatine Ethiopia’s Wolkite University and an advisor to Ethiopia’s Ministry of Agriculture, pushed backmost connected the thought that the run is planting blind, saying training ran alongside the campaign. He said authorities experts sojourn villages location to house, advising farmers connected forestry, livestock and onshore guidance alongside the planting itself.

But location are besides places the run simply cannot reach.

Parts of bluish Ethiopia, including the states of Amhara and Tigray, person been gripped by conflict successful caller years, and fighting has continued to flare contempt a bid woody formally ending the two-year Tigray war successful November 2022.

This week, conflict monitoring group ACLED reported that Eritrean troops had crossed into bluish Ethiopia to support the Tigray People’s Liberation Front — a paramilitary group fighting for much autonomy successful the region, parts of which are claimed by some countries.

Aneseyee, who visited Tigray six months ago, said the toll connected the scenery location is severe. “It’s evident if location is instability, the situation is much affected than immoderate different sector,” he said. “War is devastating the situation significantly.”

There are besides doubts about whether planting trees could outpace the ambiance disasters they’re meant to thief prevent.

In July 2024, a landslide struck Kencho Shacha Gozdi successful Ethiopia’s confederate Gofa Zone aft dense rain, sidesplitting 274 group and displacing hundreds — the deadliest specified disaster successful Ethiopia’s caller history.

Tadesse Tadele, who mislaid his mother, father, 2 brothers and a sister that day, said seedling planting began successful June this year, but that “no important reforestation, onshore guidance aliases related activities had been carried retired successful the area” earlier that.

“The threat of further landslides is still there, and we should beryllium afraid,” the 25-year-old added.

Seleshi Bekele Awulachew, Ethiopia’s erstwhile curate of water, irrigation and energy, said that successful landslide-prone terrain, steep slopes and shifting rainfall patterns compound the consequence sloppy of really galore trees spell into the ground.

“The effect of ambiance alteration is intensifying the utmost events,” he said. “Wet utmost seasons go overmuch wetter. Extreme barren seasons go much extreme.”

But wished to reconstruct the land, farmers for illustration Shambel Sharew support planting.

The 56-year-old begetter of three, who lives connected the outskirts of Shewarobit municipality successful Ethiopia’s bluish and drought-stricken Amhara Region, said he planted grevillea, geranium, moringa, kesel and different seedlings successful a nationalist area this summer, and lemon, mango and avocado trees about his home.

“People present dangle connected this land,” he said. “If it is not restored, location will beryllium thing near to turn and nary life.”

MILWAUKEE — The Dodgers person a large spread successful the mediate of their batting order, and it’s not Shohei Ohtani.

If anything, Ohtani has re-emerged arsenic an violative unit successful the clean-up spot, singling, stepping and scoring the Dodgers’ only tally Sunday successful a 2-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers successful Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.

The problem is pinch the feline hitting successful beforehand of Ohtani.

Will Smith walked successful 4 sheet appearances Sunday, marking conscionable the 2nd clip he’s reached guidelines successful the postseason. In the 4 section bid games against the Atlanta Braves, he had a azygous successful 16 at-bats, striking retired 7 times. He’s hitting .053 successful the playoffs — only Cleveland’s Ángel Martínez has a little mean among players pinch astatine slightest 9 postseason at-bats.

But there’s not overmuch the Dodgers could do about it. The Dodgers are built to triumph pinch pitching and Smith, the team’s catcher, is the feline they trust connected to guideline those pitchers done games.

Dalton Rushing, who started conscionable 3 less games down the sheet than Smith during the regular season, is injured and not connected the playoff roster. Hunter Feduccia, who did make the team, caught conscionable 15 complete games this play and isn’t an action to commencement successful the playoffs.

“Yeah, I’m not going to put Feduccia successful spot of Will Smith,” Dodgers head Dave Roberts said. “That’s conscionable not going to happen.”

So Roberts and the Dodgers are near to muddle connected pinch Smith sloppy of really overmuch he struggles offensively. That’s because he’s acold much valuable crouching down the sheet than opinionated adjacent to it.

“I don’t moreover cognize really he’s performing offensively,” said Tarik Skubal, who took the nonaccomplishment Sunday. “Catchers, I deliberation it’s the about important position connected the field. They’re the ones calling pitches, dictating crippled flow, rhythm, each that type of stuff. I’m going to spot those guys always.”

Smith appears to beryllium executing his catching duties very well, since opponents person scored conscionable 10 runs and are hitting .160 against the Dodgers this postseason. Only Tampa Bay, which has played 2 less games, has done better.

As for what Smith thinks, that’s chartless because the Dodgers did not make him disposable to the media Sunday. But since he’s not coming retired of the lineup, the next-best solution mightiness beryllium moving him to different spot successful the order.

That worked pinch Ohtani, who had arsenic galore strikeouts arsenic hits successful the first 2 games of the section series, erstwhile he batted second. Since being dropped successful the order, he has reached guidelines 4 times successful 3 games, stolen a guidelines and scored twice.

“There’s ever lineup construction. I could deliberation it through,” Roberts said. “He’s not swinging the bat well. It’s difficult because of the assemblage of work, he conscionable has that knack to get a hit, to get a large hit.”

That’s precisely what happened past autumn erstwhile Smith’s two-out, 11th-inning location tally successful Game 7 of the World Series helped the Dodgers triumph a 2nd consecutive title.

Smith was connected the injured database for 86 days this summertime pinch cervix disc inflammation, returning for the last period of the play erstwhile he slashed .290/.400/.548. He has cooled disconnected considerably successful October, conscionable arsenic he did past year, erstwhile he returned from a correct manus contusion 3 games into the playoffs and sewage conscionable 2 hits successful his first 14 at-bats.

He recovered to bat .400 successful past year’s NLCS triumph complete Milwaukee, past collapsed a 4-4 necktie pinch his winning homer against the Blue Jays. Just arsenic important, though, Smith caught each but 11 innings successful the Dodgers’ last 15 postseason games — including 2 11-inning games and different that lasted 18 innings.

Smith has seldom deed good successful the postseason, batting conscionable .206 successful 18 playoff series, which whitethorn explicate Roberts’ deficiency of panic. Plus, Roberts knows his All-Star catcher has helped him triumph 3 World Series rings, and if the Dodgers are to get another, it will beryllium connected the spot of their pitching, not their hitting.

And that broadside of Smith’s crippled is arsenic beardown arsenic ever.

“To beryllium honest, that’s not wherever my attraction is pinch Will,” Skubal said of his catcher’s hitting. “My attraction is what he’s doing down the crockery and he’s very important. He’s very important to the full pitching staff.”

Texas Democratic Senate campaigner James Talarico addressed his recent absence from the run way Sunday, saying it was thing but a “nasty lawsuit of the flu.”

“I was successful bed, drinking tons of liquids. Unfortunately, the run made maine activity from home, truthful I didn’t moreover get afloat days off. But I didn’t want to beryllium retired connected the trail, and I didn’t want to get anyone other sick. It’s important, I think, for leaders to beryllium responsible successful these moments. And I’m gladsome to beryllium back. I’m emotion overmuch better,” he told NBC Dallas-Fort Worth successful an interview.

Talarico returned to the run way Friday; his past in-person arena successful the authorities had been Sept. 26, and connected Sept. 30, he said astatine a forum virtually, saying he wasn’t emotion well.

In his absence, immoderate conservatives speculated that he was taking a break for intelligence wellness reasons. One right-wing influencer falsely claimed Talarico was receiving curen astatine the Lindner Center of Hope, a installation successful Ohio.

Asked about those theories, Talarico said, “The internet’s doing its thing.”

“That’s not true,” Talarico said. “I conscionable had the flu, and I consciousness overmuch better. But it’s a bully reminder that you can’t judge everything you publication connected the internet.”

The Lindner Center besides changeable down the speculation Sunday, posting connected societal media: “Representative James Talarico has ne'er received curen from Lindner Center of Hope.”

Republicans latched connected to Talarico’s being disconnected the way successful the last weeks of the campaign, and moreover immoderate Democrats admitted to Beritaja that his absence was little than perfect successful the tight Senate race.

State Attorney General Ken Paxton, Talarico’s Republican opponent, called for him to show “proof of life” pinch a image of him and a newspaper showing the date.

President Donald Trump, stumping for Paxton successful San Antonio connected Wednesday, highlighted Talarico’s absence and urged him to statement Paxton. Asked about Trump’s remark Sunday, Talarico said he agreed.

“I work together pinch President Trump. I deliberation Ken Paxton should debate. The president’s saying he should debate. Fox News has said he should debate. The group of Texas person said he should debate, and I deliberation it’s mysterious that Ken Paxton hasn’t responded to a petition for a statement successful 85 days,” Talarico said.

“Ken Paxton has asked for impervious of life for me. I’m asking for impervious of spine from him,” he added.

So far, nary debates are scheduled. Talarico has accepted statement invitations from aggregate media outlets, but Paxton hasn’t done the same.

It wasn’t a shot game, it was a sucker punch.

Ouch! Ooof! What?

Who are these Milwaukee Brewers?

What happened to that docile small-town bunch that was erstwhile embarrassingly soft? What happened to the squad pinch awesome stats but nary of the swagger, a squad that the Dodgers swept past October successful a playoff bid that wasn’t that close?

The Dodgers entered the National League Championship Series astatine Milwaukee’s American Family Field connected Sunday knowing the Brewers had the champion grounds successful baseball, the champion batting mean successful baseball, the champion bullpen successful baseball, and still...

They had to beryllium convinced this wasn’t the aforesaid Brewer squad that had famously rolled complete 1 short twelvemonth ago.

Well, um... duck!

In a first information that portended a lengthy and bloody fight, the Dodgers clutched to a 1-0 lead aft 3 innings pinch ace Tarik Skubal connected the mound and Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski headed for the showers.

Then they mislaid it.

They mislaid to a uncommon Brewer location run. They mislaid to a trademark Brewer bunt. They mislaid to 4 stifling Brewer relievers.

In the end, they lost the bid opener 2-1 to a relentless Brewer effort filled pinch each the musculus and hustle of their football-toting neighbors up successful Green Bay.

This time, erstwhile they were knocked down, the Brewers didn’t enactment down.

This time, the Brewers swung backmost and swung harder and yet landed a stunning rustle heavy into the Dodgers psyche.

This time, it’s intelligibly going to beryllium different.

This clip they tied the crippled successful the 4th inning connected a Brice Turang location run, past took the lead an inning later connected a cleanable illustration of the manufactured onslaught that is axenic Brewerball.

Milwaukee’s Brice Turang celebrates pinch 3rd guidelines coach Matt Erickson aft hitting a solo location tally successful the 4th inning against the Dodgers successful Game 1 of the NLCS connected Sunday.

(Robert Gauthier / Los Angeles Times)

Garrett Mitchell walked, rookie Cooper Pratt laid down a sacrifice bunt and light-hitting Luis Lara banged the adjacent transportation up the mediate to people Mitchell from 2nd for the 2-1 lead.

From there, the league’s champion bullpen held the Dodgers to 2 singles successful the past 4 innings, pinch the Dodgers stranding 2 runners connected guidelines successful 2 of them. On a nighttime they ended 3 innings pinch double plays and person still not focused their postseason hitting efforts, the last inning epitomized the frustration.

With 2 retired against person Trevor Megill, Kyle Tucker drew a seven-pitch locomotion and kid pinch-hitter Josue De Paula drew a walk, and the benignant of heroics the Dodgers person displayed for the erstwhile 2 postseasons were each group up for Mookie Betts.

And he promptly lofted the 2nd transportation to halfway fielder Mitchell, who made the drawback and screamed and flexed pinch the benignant of hearty ceremony that usually comes from the Dodgers.

A different time indeed.

Last play successful the NLCS the Dodgers won the opener by this nonstop aforesaid people and the bid was ne'er really close. Don’t expect the Brewers to travel the aforesaid path, but besides don’t expect this to beryllium easy.

The Dodgers should get the equalizer successful this best-of-seven bid Monday day pinch October superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto facing comparatively untested Logan Henderson.

But who knows? If the Brewers are going to enactment for illustration this for a week, the Dodgers could beryllium successful large trouble.

The two-time defending champs aren’t panicking. But they’re not happy either. And if you perceive closely, possibly you could prime up a scent of worry.

“Yeah, you can’t spell into a agelong bid against a squad that has the champion grounds successful shot and expect to conscionable triumph four,” Dodgers head Dave Roberts said. “It’s going to beryllium a agelong series. We knew it coming in. We had our chances, but they made plays, pitches erstwhile they needed to.”

And the Dodgers, peculiarly 1 man successful the mediate of their bid and down the plate, grounded to do the same.

Will Smith grounded into a double play and went hitless successful 3 at-bats and is now 1 for 19 successful the postseason.

“Yeah, he’s not swinging the bat well,” said Roberts, who remains hopeful. “He conscionable has that knack to get a hit, a large hit.”

More of a mislaid origin is Shohei Ohtani, who banged retired a azygous successful 3 at-bats and is 3 for 16 successful the postseason.

“We’ve conscionable sewage to reset,” Roberts said. “We’ve sewage our feline going tomorrow, who we spot undoubtedly, and we’ve sewage to triumph a shot game.”

This October, against this team, that’s apparently going to beryllium easier said than done.

MILWAUKEE — First and foremost, the Dodgers wanted Tarik Skubal connected their team. When they pursued him astatine the waste and acquisition deadline, they saw him arsenic a uncommon subordinate who could raise their World Series odds.

It didn’t hurt, of course, that by acquiring him they prevented different postseason contenders progressive successful the Skubal sweepstakes, including the Milwaukee Brewers, from landing the two-time Cy Young winner. They guaranteed that they wouldn’t person to look him successful October.

“I’m judge it’s successful the backmost of your head, the teams that are interested,” Dodgers president of shot operations Andrew Friedman said earlier the Dodgers’ 2-1 nonaccomplishment to the Brewers successful Game 1 of the National League Championship Series. “Certainly not a driver, but not thing either. As acold arsenic really happy I am, I americium very happy it’s Skubal versus [Jacob Misiorowski] and not Miz and Skubal [for the Brewers] successful the adjacent two.”

That sentiment rang moreover truer erstwhile the Dodgers dropped Game 1 astatine American Family Field, contempt forcing Misiorowski, the NL CY Young favorite, retired of the crippled successful conscionable 4 ⅓ innings — and contempt having Skubal, who lasted 5 innings but gave up 2 runs successful a good effort, connected their side.

In a domiciled reversal, the Dodgers, who scored almost exclusively via the location tally successful the first round, pulled up pinch a pesky attack astatine the plate.

Designated hitter Shohei Ohtani opened a consequential 2nd inning pinch a four-pitch walk. Then Teoscar Hernández and Andy Pages deed opposite-field singles to move Ohtani each the measurement about the bases and springiness the Dodgers a 1-0 lead.

Taking a akin “grind him out” attack to the 1 they deployed against Braves ace Chris Sale in Game 3 of the NLDS, the Dodgers forced Misiorowski to propulsion 35 pitches successful the inning — 10 unsocial to Kyle Tucker, who worked a walk.

By the 3rd inning, Misiorowski’s fastball velocity, which touched 104 mph, had dropped to double digits. And though the Dodgers didn’t people again against him, they continued to rack up his transportation count. By the clip he exited pinch 1 retired successful the fifth, it was astatine 94.

The Brewers, known for their peskiness, alternatively tied the crippled pinch 1 plaything against Skubal. In the bottommost of the 4th inning, Brice Turang sewage the tube of his bat to an wrong sinker and lifted it complete the fence, into the Brewers bullpen successful left-center field.

If Turang, who went 2-for-16 successful the NLDS, is heating up astatine the plate, that could beryllium bad news for the Dodgers.

Though the Brewers person players who could deed location runs, they pulled up the adjacent inning pinch a series much intimately aligned pinch their identity.

Skubal walked Garrett Mitchell connected 5 pitches. Brewers rookie Cooper Pratt moved him into scoring position pinch a sacrifice bunt. And past Luis Lara sent a ground-ball azygous done the mediate of the infield to thrust successful the go-ahead run.

Skubal battled postulation to get retired of the inning without allowing different run. But successful specified a tight game, that marked the extremity of his start.

The American Family Field ambiance added an other complaint to the adjacent contest. The location crowd was possibly its loudest (until an ear-splitting cheer astatine the last out) erstwhile it took rumor pinch a balk telephone against Misiorowski. It looked arsenic if he had picked disconnected Hernández to extremity the 4th inning, but Hernández was alternatively awarded 2nd base.

That play was still seared into their corporate representation erstwhile Dodgers left-handed reliever Alex Vesia picked disconnected Jack Bauers astatine first base. Brewers fans shouted “balk,” complete and over.

The bullpens battled to a scoreless draw, the Dodgers’ past guidelines falling level aft Tucker and pinch-hitting rookie Josue De Paula drew a brace of two-out walks. So the separator the Brewers gained against Skubal held.

The roadworthy doesn’t get overmuch easier for the Dodgers successful Game 2, erstwhile they’ll look right-hander Logan Henderson, who held the Dodgers to 1 tally successful 7 innings erstwhile the Brewers came to Los Angeles successful August. But ideate if alternatively the Brewers had out-bid the Dodgers and they had to spell done Skubal first.

“It would look really different,” head Dave Roberts said Saturday. “What those guys do — they had the champion grounds successful baseball. Certainly erstwhile you’re talking about a seven-game series, to spot Tarik connected the different broadside … the bid would look a batch different.”

Two children were changeable and killed by a man believed to beryllium their begetter successful Pico-Union connected Sunday afternoon, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The man past changeable himself.

The children were thought to beryllium 4 and 10 years old, constabulary said.

The shooting occurred about 12:40 p.m. adjacent Catalina Street and Venice Boulevard.

According to KTLA, a witnesser riding an L.A. Metro autobus said she saw the play unfold successful wide daylight. Police could not corroborate those details, but video from section news stations showed L.A. Fire Department and constabulary vehicles gathered astatine a tract connected a sidewalk, and a thoroughfare was blocked disconnected by yellowish constabulary tape.

The children and the man were transported to a hospital, wherever the children were pronounced dead. The man, whose information was not instantly clear, remains successful custody astatine the hospital.

Police do not judge location is immoderate remaining threat to the community.

Republican Sen. Darline Graham of South Carolina and Democratic challenger Annie Andrews fought Sunday nighttime successful their first and possibly only statement of the wide election, tangling complete President Donald Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill,” the precocious costs of state and goods, the Iran warfare and AI information centers.

South Carolina is simply a ruby-red authorities wherever Trump remains celebrated among Republican voters. But the title has tightened successful the closing agelong of the campaign, and Democrats judge they person a changeable astatine knocking disconnected Graham, who was appointed to capable her relative Lindsey Graham’s Senate spot aft his sudden death successful July. The apical Senate Republican ace PAC has pledged to spend $5 cardinal to statement up Graham’s campaign.

At the commencement of the debate, hosted successful Columbia by South Carolina ETV, Darline Graham noted that Sunday nighttime marked precisely 3 months since her relative unexpectedly died astatine property 71.

Andrews, a pediatrician, sought to represent Graham, who antecedently led a authorities agency, arsenic an inexperienced quiet suit who refuses to guidelines up to Trump aliases his unpopular policies. She mocked Graham arsenic “the White House’s ambassador to South Carolina.”

Graham attacked Andrews arsenic the “most extremist liberal” to tally successful South Carolina and arsenic sympathetic to the Democratic Socialist Party. “Annie Andrews will not guidelines up to the Socialist Democratic Party; she’s only going to subordinate them,” Graham said — a characterization Andrews rejected.

Graham has “been told to travel retired present and telephone maine Bernie, Ocasio, Mamdani — that’s what’s successful her script. But the truth is my sanction is Annie Andrews, and location shouldn’t beryllium immoderate disorder about that,” Andrews said. “The truth is I support the Second Amendment, I judge we request a unafraid border, and we request to deport forbidden immigrants who break the law. ... The existent quality betwixt maine and Sen. Graham is that I will guidelines up to my ain party, and I will ever put South Carolina first.”

Graham and Andrews are moving for a afloat six-year Senate term; the victor will make history arsenic the first female legislator elected from South Carolina. The statement besides featured Libertarian Kasie Whitener.

Graham and Andrews tussled complete rumor aft issue. As the state faces Social Security insolvency, Andrews said she would raise caps to make wealthier group salary much but would not hike the status age. She added that Republicans for illustration Graham want to privatize Social Security truthful “Washington insiders” could profit. “Unfortunately, my force is successful the title to do what Washington insiders show her,” she said.

Graham changeable backmost that she understands what group successful her authorities are facing. When her parents died astatine a young age, Social Security benefits helped her and her relative survive. Graham said Andrews’ disapproval of Trump’s “one big, beautiful bill” is misplaced because it lowered taxes connected tips and Social Security. “You called it the 1 big, disfigured bill, truthful present you are deceiving the group of South Carolina,” Graham said.

On affordability, Graham said she has “lived paycheck to paycheck” earlier and acknowledged that “gas prices are precocious correct now. ... I consciousness the pain, too.” She said that she supports suspending the state taxation and that easing regulations connected drilling would permanently bring prices down.

Andrews pinned blasted for precocious state prices connected Graham, who she said voted respective times against a warfare powers solution to restrict Trump’s warfare pinch Iran.

“The warfare is the nonstop logic we now person record-high state and diesel prices. Farmers are getting crushed, and everything costs more,” Andrews said. “My force is the only 1 who had the opportunity to ballot to extremity the war, but 3 times successful a statement she voted to proceed it.”

Andrews besides dinged Graham for admitting during a erstwhile statement that “national information is not my thing.” “South Carolina, if your surgeon said that appendectomies aren’t really his thing, would you still manus him a scalpel? No,” Andrews said. “So why would we manus Darline Graham a afloat word successful the U.S. Senate? She is unserious and unqualified.”

Graham retorted that she wants the warfare to end, for illustration everyone does, but said she believes successful “peace done strength.” Then, she went aft Andrews complete the nationalist information quip.

“But talking about not my thing, let’s talk about what’s not your thing. Your point apparently is not being honorable pinch the group of South Carolina. At slightest I’m honest. If I don’t cognize something, I americium gladsome to opportunity it, and I’ll opportunity it again tonight,” Graham said without getting specific. “But you have, you are deceiving the group of South Carolina. You person flip-flopped connected everything. There’s truthful galore societal media posts retired location to beryllium it. Shame connected you!”

The proliferation of information centers, which powerfulness artificial intelligence companies, has go a awesome flash constituent successful the midterm elections.

“Under her Bernie Sanders plan, a two-year moratorium, that is vulnerable to the nationalist information of our country, because successful 2 years China is going to beryllium truthful acold up [that] we are going to beryllium successful truthful overmuch trouble,” Graham said, adding that section communities should determine whether information centers get built successful their backyards.

The past clip San Francisco 49ers backmost Brock Purdy played successful Seattle, he could only lead an injury-laden 49ers squad to 2 section goals successful a 35-point playoff nonaccomplishment to the Super Bowl-bound Seahawks.

On Sunday, Purdy led San Francisco to a game-winning thrust successful the 4th fourth of a 32-29 win, handing Seattle its first location nonaccomplishment successful 371 days.

Is San Francisco headed to the Super Bowl next? There’s a agelong measurement to go, but the 49ers are now 5-0 for the 3rd clip nether coach Kyle Shanahan — and the past 2 times they were still playing successful February.

Sunday’s crippled was an instant classic, a matchup filled pinch chaotic moments and playoff intensity. The teams mixed for a whopping 7 turnovers, aggregate individual fouls and 1 subordinate — San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw — was moreover ejected.

The defenses mostly dominated until the 4th quarter. That was erstwhile Purdy, possibly the MVP favourite done the first 4 weeks and alteration of the NFL season, stepped up.

Trailing 26-21, Purdy led the 49ers connected a 12-play, 74-yard touchdown thrust that culminated successful a seven-yard touchdown walk to Mike Evans. Purdy past threw to Evans again to person a two-point effort to put San Francisco up 29-26.

After a Seattle section goal, the 49ers past traveled 43 yards successful 8 plays for a 44-yard footwear that proved to beryllium the crippled winner.

“I thought Brock did an unbelievable occupation uncovering a measurement location to triumph astatine the end,” Shanahan said postgame. “There were immoderate ups and downs, by nary intends was everything perfect. He was really bully successful the 4th quarter.”

On the Seahawks’ last possession, the discourtesy couldn’t person a fourth-and-10 — though whether receiver Cooper Kupp was capable to agelong the shot for a first down connected the play seemed up for debate.

While neither backmost was awesome Sunday, Purdy had immoderate awesome moments considering the circumstances. Facing the NFL’s second-best defense by expected points added per play, Purdy capitalized connected early turnovers earlier managing the 2 scoring drives successful the fourth.

And he did truthful pinch a depleted receiving core. The 49ers entered Sunday pinch 4 receivers connected injured reserve. Then some Deebo Samuel and Jacob Cowing were injured during the game.

“We sewage a bunch of warriors,” Shanahan said of the backups who stepped up. “Everyone knows the talent and the stars of immoderate of the guys connected our team. What makes our guys typical is really overmuch they emotion football, really overmuch they springiness it up each week.”

Among those who played a cardinal domiciled Sunday was Evans, who caught a season-high 7 passes for 113 yards and a score, positive the 2-pointer for bully measure.

“He’s a crippled changer,” said Purdy. “As a quarterback, immoderate clip I person to spell to him it ever feels good.”

Said Evans to Fox aft the game: “We knew it was going to beryllium a dogfight. They’re a awesome team, and we came retired present and showed we’re a awesome squad arsenic well.”

Purdy vanished pinch a so-so statline by his standards: 19 of 29 passing for 189 yards, 2 touchdowns and 1 interception. More importantly, though, he outplayed his counterpart Sam Darnold, and recovered a measurement to shepherd 2 go-ahead drives successful the game’s biggest moments.

The 49ers now person the league’s about awesome résumé done 5 weeks. San Francisco has the champion constituent differential successful the NFL, and 3 of its 5 wins person travel against teams pinch winning records. And 2 of those wins came against teams that are some morganatic title contenders and divisional rivals: Seattle and the Los Angeles Rams.

Purdy has been spectacular this season. After the Week 5 win, he’s now thrown for 13 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. Sunday’s crippled was the only clip this play Purdy has posted a passer standing nether 100, and he still posted a people of 92.5.

The 49ers person done each of this contempt being beset pinch injuries. While the Seahawks were down immoderate of their ain cardinal players Sunday, San Francisco yet pulled retired an disfigured triumph connected the roadworthy against a squad that hadn’t mislaid astatine location successful complete a twelvemonth — a motion of really overmuch stronger the 49ers look compared to a play ago.

President Trump must cancel immoderate remaining tv commercials paid for pinch millions of dollars successful payer money to beforehand his governmental message, a national judge ordered Sunday night, moreover arsenic the management said the run was coming to an end.

U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon successful New York sided pinch a coalition, including the nonpartisan watchdog Common Cause, that challenged the ads and called them an forbidden misuse of funds. She told the management to cancel immoderate remaining ads, including immoderate group to aerial Sunday night, successful granting a impermanent restraining order.

“Defendants shall not participate into, renew, aliases grow immoderate statement authorizing the development, creation, dissemination, placement, aliases airing of the challenged s” during the two-week long of her order, the judge said.

The White House did not instantly respond to an email requesting remark Sunday night. In a tribunal filing precocious Saturday, the Justice Department based on that the impermanent restraining bid was unnecessary because “the alleged offending behaviour will extremity tomorrow.”

The Department of Homeland Security tapped $20 cardinal successful payer money for the ads. Legal experts person suggested that violated a national statute against congressionally appropriated money being utilized for “publicity aliases propaganda” and perchance different laws.

“We are pleased the tribunal acted swiftly to forestall much payer dollars from being utilized for specified blatantly unlawful governmental propaganda,” the plaintiffs said successful a connection issued by Democracy Forward, the nonprofit ineligible statement that represents them. “There is nary ineligible justification — and nary precedent — for the president to usage the machinery of the authorities and costs group speech by Congress for different uses to power electoral outcomes that further his ain agenda.”

In a tribunal declaration Saturday, elder Homeland Security charismatic Holly Mehringer wrote that the money came from costs appropriated by Congress that are “available for, among different things, ‘commemorating efforts and events related to separator security.’”

The White House has defended the ads arsenic nationalist work announcements akin to what past administrations person done to beforehand various policies. But the caller ads disagree from galore past nationalist work announcements successful that they aren’t aimed astatine helping members of the nationalist use from circumstantial authorities programs.

The ads, which began airing successful precocious September, glorify Trump and echo his governmental messaging going into the midterms. One features a clip of the president talking about the threat of communism and different is simply a replay of an from his past statesmanlike campaign. The 5th successful the run began airing Tuesday, focusing connected his administration’s seizure of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

The usage of nationalist costs to salary for the ads drew dense disapproval — including from immoderate successful the GOP.

“It shouldn’t beryllium paid for pinch payer dollars,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) told reporters.

The Democratic National Committee has separately sued the Republican management complete the ads.

Amid the backlash, Trump said he would commencement paying for the ads pinch a run account. A White House charismatic said location were nary contiguous plans to reimburse the authorities for money already spent.

Johnson writes for the Associated Press. Johnson reported from Seattle. AP reporters Collin Binkley successful Washington and Ali Swenson contributed to this report.

A trio of storms since early September has put sizeable strain connected the historical Long Beach boardwalk, which collapsed further betwixt 64th and 65th Place connected Seaside Walk during a play of dense surf.

The city’s nationalist useful squad and its Parks, Recreation and Marine bureau were moving to unafraid it, putting up sandbags and rebuilding the berm to extremity h2o intrusion. Officials are besides continuing to show coastal homes that were red- and yellow-tagged during the play onslaught.

Mud and soil inundated the Long Beach Peninsula arsenic waves breached the boardwalk’s protective timber bulkhead.

Inspectors red-tagged 9 buildings on Seaside Walk, the Long Beach Post reported, pinch 1 building yellow-tagged. Red indicates an reside is unsafe to enter, while yellowish restricts use.

That truth that the harm to the boardwalk is cumulative presents a peculiar challenge, Long Beach Fire Department spokesperson Melanie Miller said Sunday.

“The illness began erstwhile [Hurricane] Marie came,” successful early September, she said, “and it’s been building disconnected of that. Then Hurricane Polo, now [Tropical Storm] Rachel. It’s been continuous harm since then.

“There person been preparations — we moreover deployed 3,000-pound sandbags,” Miller added, “but you could only do truthful overmuch during debased tide; location are constricted windows of opportunity. And the dynamics are moving against you.”

Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson said that the metropolis was taking the business “very seriously” and that it underscored “an value to beryllium incredibly superior successful our region and successful our authorities about ambiance resilience and coastal resiliency.”

He said the crumbling boardwalk is simply a historical thread successful the city’s fabric.

“This is 1 of the oldest boardwalks successful California and tons of memories were made connected that boardwalk,” he said successful an question and reply Sunday. “If we want to clasp these iconic spaces connected our coastline, it’s going to return existent finance to make judge that we person an iconic, value waterfront, a coastline that is resilient and acknowledges the changing climate.”

That finance will beryllium expensive, Richardson said.

“You person to build much climate-resilient infrastructure. Because 100 years agone it wasn’t needfully anticipated that we’d person this cadence of unit — 3 awesome large wind systems successful six weeks is unprecedented successful this region.”

The metropolis of Long Beach has designed a “seven-point plan,” formalized soon aft Hurricane Marie, that addresses repairing what’s been damaged, putting much soil backmost connected the beach, creating further layers of protection and pursuing longer-term solutions and funding, Laath Martin, a spokesperson for the metropolis manager’s office, said.

“As we responded to [Marie], we besides looked astatine early plans and ways to reside [the storms] successful the immediate, mean and agelong term,” Martin said. “We’ve had 2 further storms since then. Some of the activity is underway, and immoderate is coming wrong days, weeks and months, depending.”

As of now, the metropolis of Long Beach is successful emergency consequence mode. It’s reinforcing the boardwalk pinch lumber and utilizing the aforementioned 3,000-pound sandbags to “deflect activity power connected the formation broadside of the bulkhead, the seawall,” Martin said. “It takes a batch of the brunt of the damage.”

Martin said the metropolis had accelerated definite projects to commencement arsenic soon arsenic the week of Oct. 19, peculiarly the Alamitos Bay Entrance Channel Dredging Project, which will relocate soil from the Peninsula and widen the formation by about 200 feet.

“We person to do a fewer things earlier past to fresh it,” Martin said, “so our crews could safely activity successful those conditions.”

Longer term, the metropolis has secured a contractor to transportation retired imperishable repairs. The costs is estimated astatine $ 1.5 cardinal to $ 3.6 million, Martin said. The money will travel from the city’s Tidelands Emergency Reserves for coastal projects.

“Because we’re utilizing a batch of materials correct now to make emergency repairs to support group safe, we past person to acquisition much materials to do the imperishable repairs,” Martin said. “That’s why there’s specified a wide range.”

Martin said the metropolis expected to complete imperishable repairs to the bulkhead and boardwalk by the extremity of this year.

“With El Niño, we expect much storms. They built the timeline about anticipated storms to the champion successful our ability,” he said. “But this acold successful advance, you ne'er know.”

A national judge ordered the Trump management connected Sunday to extremity airing ads funded by the U.S. authorities that represent President Donald Trump successful a favorable light, effective immediately.

The suit was brought by the watchdog group Common Cause; Robert Hunter, a Democratic campaigner for a spot successful the Alabama authorities House; and a labour national successful New York and its governmental action committee. The suit was 1 of respective akin complaints — including one by the Democratic National Committee — that were revenge to get the ads disconnected the air.

“Plaintiffs person demonstrated that they are apt to win connected the merits, will suffer irreparable harm successful the absence of an injunction, the equilibrium of the equities tips successful their favor, and an injunction serves the nationalist interest,” U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon of the Southern District of New York wrote.

The management had said successful a court filing Saturday that the Department of Homeland Security, via a vendor, had placed buys done Sunday and had told the vendor to not acquisition ads beyond that day.

Rochon said the plaintiffs’ statement was not moot, however, and ordered the Trump management to “cancel aliases origin to beryllium cancelled” immoderate ads from airing aliases being disseminated, including those group to aerial Sunday night.

Rochon besides wrote that the management was barred from utilizing costs appropriated to DHS to “develop, create, disseminate, place, distribute, publish, aliases aerial the challenged s.”

The White House, DHS and the Office of Management and Budget, which are each named arsenic defendants successful the suit, did not instantly respond to requests for remark connected the ruling. MAGA Inc., which Trump had said past week would thief him money the ads moving forward, did not instantly respond to a petition for comment.

“We are pleased the tribunal acted swiftly to forestall much payer dollars from being utilized for specified blatantly unlawful governmental propaganda,” the plaintiffs said successful a statement. “There is nary ineligible justification — and nary precedent — for the president to usage the machinery of the authorities and costs group speech by Congress for different uses to power electoral outcomes that further his ain agenda.”

Common Cause President and CEO Virginia Kase Solomón said that contempt the ruling, “our conflict continues.”

“We won’t extremity until this management is held afloat accountable, and nary president from immoderate statement could discarded and maltreatment payer costs for propaganda ever again,” Solomón said.

The ads — 1 of which was nearly identical to a 2024 Trump run — came nether scrutiny by critics who based on that utilizing payer money could beryllium forbidden and called the spots propaganda.

The Chargers yet made a play they could bent successful the Louvre — a spectacular 42-yard touchdown tally — but successful the extremity Sunday only coiled up pinch different L.

It was their 5th nonaccomplishment successful a statement this season, different turnover-plagued nightmare, that resulted successful a 23-17 conclusion to the Denver Broncos.

Most achy for the Chargers, they came tantalizingly adjacent to their first victory, claiming their first lead precocious successful the 3rd 4th only to manus it backmost pinch 3 consecutive turnovers successful the fourth.

It was a Justin Herbert meltdown, arsenic the Chargers backmost was stonewalled connected a fourth-and-one keeper, fumbled distant the adjacent possession and was intercepted connected the next. The Broncos tied the crippled aft their protect stop, past gradually inched away.

Herbert was sacked 5 times and had a fumble and an interception. His squad is 0-5 for the first clip since 2003, erstwhile the Chargers mislaid their first 5 games connected their measurement to a 4-12 season.

The roadworthy up is steep. The Chargers play astatine Kansas City connected Sunday, past aft a week disconnected look the Rams.

Dating to past season, Herbert has gone 7 consecutive games pinch astatine slightest arsenic galore interceptions arsenic touchdowns.

Just for illustration past year, he was playing down a cobbled-together violative statement Sunday, pinch starting tackles Joe Alt and Rashawn Slater injured a week earlier successful the nonaccomplishment astatine Seattle.

The Chargers started 4 rookies connected the violative line, 3 of whom are backups. They besides were without All-Pro information Derwin James Jr., who missed a 2nd crippled pinch a hamstring injury, and No. 1 receiver Ladd McConkey, hobbled by an injured foot.

Still, the crippled was tight for three-plus quarters because Denver couldn’t get its discourtesy rolling, either. Through 3 quarters, the Broncos had tally 37 violative plays, each but 2 of which went for less than 10 yards.

After the Chargers forged a 10-10 necktie pinch the touchdown to Hayden Rucci, they claimed the lead pinch Kimani Vidal’s terrific 42-yard touchdown run.

?
Oddly, seeing arsenic it came connected his location field, Vidal’s touchdown only quieted SoFi Stadium, which was awash successful orangish jerseys.

The spot would reignite, however, pinch the trio of Chargers turnovers.

Rumblings are ramping up for a different benignant of Charger turnover. The squad has not been capable to consistently move the shot contempt changing violative coordinators to Mike McDaniel, erstwhile caput coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Harbaugh said aft the nonaccomplishment to Seattle that location are nary plans to switch McDaniel, but that drum hit grows louder pinch each loss.

The Chargers struggled from the start. Their first pass, a completion to tight extremity Charlie Kolar, was fumbled away. That came a week aft Herbert’s opening propulsion was picked disconnected by Seattle.

The Chargers amassed 74 yards of discourtesy successful the first half, and were penalized 5 times for 58 yards.

The Broncos weren’t overmuch amended pinch 129 yards of discourtesy and 3 penalties.

Whereas the Chargers were looking for their inaugural victory, the Broncos were looking to get their first AFC West win, having mislaid their opener astatine Kansas City.

There’s an absorbing relationship betwixt Harbaugh and Denver coach Sean Payton. Harbaugh’s rookie play pinch the Chicago Bears was 1987, erstwhile NFL players went connected strike. The starting backmost for Chicago’s replacement squad, nicknamed the “Spare Bears,” was Payton.

When the threat that near the full NFL successful disbelief began Sunday, Washington backmost Jayden Daniels was expected to do 1 of 2 things, Commanders coach Dan Quinn said — propulsion the shot retired of bounds, aliases spike it into the turf.

Both would person stopped the clock, and fixed Washington the chance to gain a season-reviving triumph successful the last seconds of overtime complete their division-leading rival, the New York Giants.

When Daniels did neither, however, and alternatively ran the ball, it group of a concatenation of events that produced a 27-27 necktie that was the consequence of the about inexplicable ending of the young NFL play truthful far.

“Leaving coming pinch a necktie feels for illustration a loss,” Quinn said.

It was a acold outcry from the optimism that the time had started pinch successful Washington.

Playing for the first clip since suffering an elbow wounded 3 weeks earlier, Daniels had astatine times resembled the subordinate who had taken the NFL by large wind arsenic a rookie successful 2024. His 38-yard touchdown tally successful the 3rd 4th gave Washington a 19-6 lead. In the 4th quarter, different Daniels touchdown tally of 26 yards kept his squad successful front, 27-13, pinch 11 minutes to play successful regulation.

The Commanders had conscionable 7 much violative plays the remainder of the 4th quarter, while the Giants roared backmost for 2 touchdowns to unit overtime, pinch the teams lodged successful a 27-all tie.

And still, the Commanders had the opportunity to win.

With 13 seconds remaining successful overtime, the Commanders were successful scope of a game-winning section goal, conscionable 26 yards from the extremity area Daniels, emotion immoderate protect pressure, improvised a tally and hardly sewage backmost to the statement of scrimmage pinch 8 seconds near connected the clock. He laic connected the turf nonchalantly for different 2 seconds, until the Commanders seemed to retrieve they did not person a timeout remaining, and that the timepiece was moving retired connected their opportunity to triumph the game.

“They don’t person a timeout,” Fox broadcaster Chris Myers said. “What are they doing?”

Players from some teams scrambled into position, blocking the charismatic from spotting the shot until nary clip was near connected the clock. Myers, connected the FOX broadcast, recalled the chaotic last series arsenic a “comedy of errors.” Quinn threw his headset to the crushed successful frustration.

“I was surprised,” Giants coach John Harbaugh said.

The 27-27 necktie was officially over. But the explanations had conscionable begun.

Daniels called retired the request to play amended “situational football,” and blamed himself.

“We sewage to extremity the clock,” Daniels said afterward. “... It starts from everybody apical down, but ultimately, you know, it’s connected me.”

Quinn said to blasted him, the coach.

“The sequencing of that does not autumn connected him,” Quinn said. “It’s an extracurricular propulsion aliases a timepiece (spike),” Quinn said. “Those are the two: retired of bounds propulsion aliases a clock, and it has to travel from me. I don’t person to put him into that spot. I could do that earlier, and we could decorativeness the footwear earlier, we don’t request to summation much yards, truthful that’s connected me.”

Why not conscionable spike the shot pinch 13 seconds near alternatively of having Daniels driblet backmost astatine all?

“I’m saying, we don’t request to summation immoderate much (yards to make the section extremity shorter),” Quinn said. “We’re conscionable trying to summation more. We don’t request to.”

Commanders number proprietor Magic Johnson posted connected X that he was “in full disbelief my Commanders had specified mediocre timepiece guidance successful today’s overtime crippled against the Giants. All we had to do was footwear the section extremity and we would person won the game! 🤦🏾‍♂️”

Quinn’s desire to tally a play and either summation a fewer much yards aliases drain a fewer much seconds of timepiece was possibly rooted successful what had taken spot during a brace of chaotic finishes earlier this play that had shown the perils of leaving excessively overmuch clip connected the clock.

Only hours earlier Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles kicked a go-ahead section extremity to return the lead connected Jacksonville pinch conscionable 8 seconds remaining successful regulation. But that was capable clip for the Jaguars to tally the ensuing kickoff backmost into scope for what yet became a game-winning section extremity to stun the Eagles. Two weeks earlier, Baltimore trailed erstwhile it sewage the shot backmost pinch only 7 seconds near successful regularisation but was capable to move into field-goal scope for a game-winning footwear to hit Dallas.

In the cases of the chaotic endings produced by the Jaguars and Ravens, each required a huge, yard-gaining play. All the Commanders needed to unafraid their ain triumph was a spike, 1 of the simplest plays successful football.

“I’m gutted for our team,” Quinn said. “And that’s the the hardest part.”

VATICAN CITY — Pope Leo XIV announced Sunday he will acquisition room “in the coming days” to region a nodule connected his lung, successful the first awesome wellness arena of his 17-month pontificate.

The 71-year-old Leo said the nodule was recovered astatine an early shape and was “circumscribed,” aliases well-localized. The Vatican said Leo’s expected betterment clip from room would beryllium a week.

The American pope made the announcement during his Sunday noon blessing. He thanked the crowd for their closeness and entrusted himself to their prayers.

The Vatican didn’t opportunity precisely erstwhile the room would return place, different than successful the early days of this week. Leo has 1 upcoming main event: the closing Mass connected Wednesday of a weeklong convention connected family ministry, but Vatican officials suggested he mightiness miss it.

A nodule could beryllium benign aliases malignant

A lung nodule is simply a mini abnormal area measuring little than an inch that sometimes appears connected a CT scan of the thorax aliases abdomen, according to the American Cancer Society. Often, the scans are done to analyse trauma aliases a lung infection, unrelated to a lung crab screening.

“Lung nodules are reasonably communal and are often benign, but benign and cancerous nodules could person a akin quality connected imaging,” said Dr. Stephen Liu, a lung crab master astatine Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.

“When location is capable concern, and erstwhile it is safe to do truthful based connected the location of the nodule and the wide wellness of the patient, surgical removal could supply a definitive diagnosis,” he said.

If the nodule turns retired to beryllium cancerous, the prognosis is “excellent” since it will person been removed astatine an early shape and room unsocial mightiness beryllium each Leo needs successful position of treatment, Liu said successful an interview.

“It often could beryllium a blessing successful disguise to region that crab earlier it has a chance to turn aliases to spread,” he said.

Leo has nary antecedently known wellness problems and is physically active, pinch play tennis matches and swimming astatine the papal summertime retreat successful Castel Gandolfo.

The pope has a awesome travel planned Nov. 6-17 to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. It’s unclear really aliases whether the planned room and betterment mightiness impact the itinerary, but Leo said earlier successful his remarks Sunday that he still planned to go.

In his remarks, delivered successful Italian, Leo said that during a caller aesculapian check, “doctors recovered a small, localized nodule successful my lung.

He thanked the religious “for your belief support, and I entrust myself to your prayers.”

Leo’s predecessor, Pope Francis, died April 21, 2025, of a changeable pursuing a agelong hospitalization brought connected by a respiratory situation that developed into double pneumonia. Francis suffered from chronic lung illness and had portion of 1 lung removed arsenic a young man.

Leo is expected to acquisition room astatine Rome’s Gemelli hospital, wherever Francis and popes earlier him were treated and wherever location is simply a typical flat for pontiffs. On Sunday, location was nary evident motion that the pope had already been admitted.

Dr. Dionysis Papadatos-Pastos, an oncologist and lung crab master astatine the London Clinic, stressed that an incidental uncovering of a lung nodule doesn’t mean lung cancer. And successful truth “a well-circumscribed nodule does propose that this is little apt to beryllium cancer.”

But he said crab was imaginable and the main imperative is to investigate. “The worst point you could do is disregard a lung nodule,” he said successful an interview.

Liu, the Georgetown oncologist, said surgical removal successful specified a lawsuit was standard, particularly for personification successful different bully wellness and if the nodule is successful an easy accessible location. A needle biopsy connected a lung nodule could beryllium difficult and whitethorn not supply doctors pinch capable information, he said.

“When we talk about thing being localized, that could besides mention to the request to found whether the illness is confined to that 1 tract aliases whether scans show signs of illness elsewhere,” he said, emphasizing that he has not treated the pope and was speaking about the illness successful general.

“Being physically fresh and patient is surely an important starting constituent for coping arsenic good arsenic imaginable pinch treatment, including surgery,” he added.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, among the fewer outsiders to sojourn Francis during his agelong last hospitalization, expressed her support and that of the Italian authorities for Leo “as he faces this situation successful the coming days.” In a statement, she added that “the serenity and calm pinch which he said about it” were reassuring.

PUERTO VALLARTA, Mexico — Hurricane Simon was pounding Mexico’s Pacific seashore arsenic a Category 4 large wind connected Sunday, its oculus remaining conscionable offshore arsenic its about powerful winds and rainfall slammed group surviving betwixt the Sierra Madre and the ocean.

Simon’s oculus was moving northward conscionable disconnected the coast, and forecasters astatine the U.S. National Hurricane Center said it’s not clear whether it will make landfall. This could mean Simon maintains its highly vulnerable strength, sustaining winds of 150 mph.

That’s not bully news for group successful the Puerto Vallarta area, a celebrated destination for U.S. tourists. Just inland and uphill from the edifice areas, galore Mexicans unrecorded successful communities wherever lodging mightiness not guidelines up to the storm.

At daybreak, Simon was centered about 110 miles south-southeast of Cabo Corrientes, and moving north-northwest astatine a comparatively slow 6 mph. A elder hurricane halfway specialist, Phillipe Pappin, said this westernmost extremity of mainland Mexico was the about apt spot for landfall.

“Simon is very adjacent to the seashore of Mexico this morning,” Pappin told the Associated Press connected Sunday.

“We’re expecting catastrophic upwind and life-threatening large wind surge impacts on that west-central seashore of Mexico wherever the hurricane informing is presently successful effect,” Pappin said. “They’re besides getting very dense rainfall associated pinch the large wind that’s apt going to nutrient life-threatening flooding and mudslides successful areas of higher terrain on the Mexican coastline, and location will beryllium important swells.”

As for predicting whether aliases not Simon will make landfall, “it’s a small tricky correct now” to forecast, since the oculus “is fundamentally moving very adjacent aliases parallel to the seashore currently,” Pappin said. But he predicted that Cabo Corrientes is the area about apt to get a nonstop deed from the strategy connected Sunday.

Meanwhile, the hurricane was dumping rainfall complete parts of southwestern Mexico. It could bring 10 to 20 inches of rainfall successful galore places, pinch immoderate areas successful the states of Michoacan, Colima and Jalisco receiving up to 30 inches. “This rainfall will nutrient life-threatening flooding and mudslides, particularly successful areas of steep terrain,” the halfway warned.

Jalisco authorities suspended classes connected Friday and Monday successful 22 coastal municipalities and began evacuating group from at-risk areas while asking the tourism assemblage to make judge workers arsenic good arsenic visitors are afloat accommodated successful shelters aliases safe zones.

On Saturday, conscionable up of the worst weather, convenience stores, hotels and different businesses successful Puerto Vallarta were boarding up their windows.

The hurricane halfway expected a vulnerable large wind surge on the contiguous seashore adjacent and to the eastbound of wherever the halfway makes landfall. The agency warned that adjacent the coast, ample and destructive waves will travel the surge.

Canadian tourer Ed Currie, who on pinch his woman still has 5 much days to bask Puerto Vallarta, said the hurricane had not yet affected his plans.

“Just enactment successful the edifice and look retired the model hopefully,” he said of what the mates would do. “I conscionable don’t cognize what to expect.”

President Donald Trump claimed Sunday that Ukraine and Russia person agreed to an “energy ceasefire” arsenic portion of the ongoing conflict. There was nary contiguous confirmation from Moscow, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reportedly said this “was news for me.”

Trump made a akin announcement a period ago, only for the 2 sides to proceed their aerial attacks connected each other’s power facilities.

“Effective immediately, location is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE successful the War betwixt Russia and Ukraine,” Trump posted connected Truth Social connected Sunday morning. “Both parties person agreed. Do not break it!” He did not elaborate further connected what the ceasefire mightiness include.

Zelenskyy told Axios that he knew thing about a ceasefire deal.

“But if Russians work together to an power ceasefire Ukraine will agree,” Zelenskyy said, according to Axios. “If President Trump negotiated it pinch [Russian President Vladimir] Putin — please show america erstwhile the ceasefire originates — we are fresh and we will judge it.”

Beritaja has reached retired to Zelenskyy’s agency for further comment.

It follows a melodramatic fewer days successful which Trump agreed to a diesel woody pinch the Kremlin, demanded Kyiv halt attacks connected Russian lipid refineries and called for Zelenskyy to beryllium replaced. The displacement near Kyiv and its European friends reeling.

The U.S. agreed Friday to assistance sanctions connected Russian substance successful a woody that Trump said would spot Russia “immediately” merchandise 300,000 tons of diesel “to the American and world marketplace,” followed by 500,000 tons successful November and different cardinal aft that.

Our server astatine Aunt Yvette’s Kitchen had dropped disconnected a dessert menu, though I was readying to skip the sweets. Two of america had torn done a table-size platter — an Ethiopian rootlike combo dispersed about the perimeter, pinch lamb and chickenhearted stews piled into the halfway — consuming rotation aft rotation of injera we unspooled for scooping.

Then Yvette Platoff walked by. Her regard felt for illustration a lukewarm manus connected my shoulder.

“You should effort our crystal cream,” she said. “We make our own. We service 2 scoops, 1 spiced pinch berbere and the different pinch cardamom, that we for illustration to telephone ‘fire and ice.’ It’s very light.”

There would beryllium dessert aft all.

Los Angeles has plentifulness of examples of crystal creams infused pinch flavors from cultures crossed the globe. The Platoffs’ berbere riff is simply a awesome contribution. Recipes for the herb blend alteration by hands and tastes, but immoderate essentials are consistent: dried and crushed chiles of mean heat, ginger, fenugreek and a operation of sweeter spices. This one, steeped successful beverage and cream, sparks disconnected the tile of your rima pinch a gentle chile pain and the pleasantly numbing zap of cloves. The texture leans icy, a nosy opposition and a earthy span to the smoother, mellower cardamom counterpoint alongside.

I americium admittedly precocious to joys for illustration these astatine Aunt Yvette’s Kitchen, which opened 3 years agone successful an Eagle Rock portion mall, but I’ve go a accelerated instrumentality successful the past mates of months.

In their ain orbit 16 miles northeast, the Platoffs move much freely betwixt contented and imaginative expression.

The savory cooking stays mostly anchored successful the canon. Vegetable combo platters are modular connected Ethiopian menus; theirs, wholly vegan, shows strongest successful dishes pinch guardant seasonings for illustration misir wat (berbere-stained lentils, a preview to the crystal pick finale) and kik alicha (long-simmered yellowish divided peas, their colour intensified pinch turmeric). You could complete a meat-free repast pinch cubed tibs (a communal sauté of chickenhearted aliases beef, besides available) reimagined pinch rosemary-scented tofu.

Look about the room and everyone has immoderate type of an injera-blanketed platter successful beforehand of them — galore pinch doro wat (the aromatic condiment enveloping chickenhearted and eggs that’s a small sweeter than Agonafer’s masterwork) aliases mounds of diced beef tenderloin aliases brisket beside tangles of cabbage and bulb aliases cool, crunchy salads.

The sensibility of the owners helps group the edifice apart. Colors and textures saturate the space: lacquered character trunks arsenic tables, blue-green tiles, golden pendant lights, large prints of Vladimir Tretchikoff’s portraits of African women. It’s besides tiny, truthful it’s wise to reserve seats astatine meal aliases weekend-only lunch.

Meals commencement pinch a server ritualistically washing your hands pinch roseate water. Rather than driblet disconnected baskets afloat of injera, arsenic galore places do, the squad circulates done the room delivering caller injera conscionable arsenic you’ve polished disconnected your past round.

I emotion that nosy finales person this overmuch consideration. Since the 2 scoops of “fire and ice” are recurrent specials not listed among the selections, I’m particularly gladsome that Yvette rightly sized maine up arsenic personification who’d admit really the berbere almost sizzles done the frosty sweetness, ringing connected the palate and moreover longer successful your memory.

Do you retrieve what you were doing erstwhile the infamous L.A. City Hall racist audio leak scandal collapsed 4 years ago?

I ever will: I was naked.

Sunday morning, Oct. 9, 2022, about 8 a.m., I was about to return a ablution erstwhile I decided to cheque my cellphone 1 much time. Thank God I did: If I hadn’t, I would’ve been half an hr precocious connected assisting successful 1 of the about explosive stories ever to deed L.A. politics.

Via Slack, Times adjunct managing editor Steve Clow asked if I could service arsenic a 2nd group of ears connected audio that my colleagues had unearthed involving four of the about powerful L.A. políticos astatine the time: City Council President Nury Martinez, Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, and L.A. County Federation of Labor President Ron Herrera. I was still successful my day suit (sorry for the visual, gentle readers, but I’m sworn to study the facts connected this job) erstwhile I played the snippet Clow shared: Martinez describing the Black boy of then-Councilmember Mike Bonin arsenic “su negrito” — his darky.

I put connected my shorts and told my woman I wouldn’t beryllium helping astatine her edifice that day.

Clow sent maine much clips complete the adjacent hour, each crasser than the different — I retrieve gasping audibly astatine the portion erstwhile the 4 were laughing arsenic Martinez referred to Oaxacans arsenic “ugly.” That morning, my colleagues Benjamin Oreskes, Dakota Smith, Julia Wick and David Zahniser published their first communicative connected the fiasco, which turned retired to beryllium a secretly recorded speech from a twelvemonth earlier that personification had posted connected Reddit conscionable the time before.

The ungraded quickly became a nationalist sensation, pinch even then-President Joe Biden weighing in. L.A. wretched successful corporate disgust and demanded action, which decidedly came: Martinez and Herrera quickly resigned, while Cedillo — who had already mislaid his reelection bid — would enactment connected until his bitter end, and De León wouldn’t time off until challenger Ysabel Jurado destroyed him successful his 2024 reelection bid. The electoral repercussions of the audio leak could still beryllium felt 4 years later successful this election, arsenic Nithya Raman stages a beardown situation against incumbent Karen Bass — a condemnation nary 1 would’ve believed successful the autumn of 2022, erstwhile Bass was connected the cusp of winning her first term, and Raman was the lone antiauthoritarian socialist connected the council.

I would’ve figured the day of thing arsenic titanic arsenic each of the supra would’ve sparked much commemorations than conscionable my columna this week. Nope! L.A. has moved connected to the constituent that Cedillo wasn’t booted from a group photograph that included existent District 9 assembly campaigner Jose Ugarte, erstwhile Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo, erstwhile Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and existent Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez — because moreover Chicanosauruses could past a governmental asteroid, I guess?

Having governmental leaders spew racist, homophobic delirium now seems for illustration the bully ol’ days successful an era wherever infernos destroy aliases stink up swaths of L.A., migration agents terrorize immigrants from Westwood to the Eastside, and a spokesperson for a sitting American president denies that the commandant successful main suggested Iran explosive the City of Angels, moreover though he said it during a run rally.

I shouldn’t really beryllium surprised, I guess: L.A. infamously loves to hide its ain history. But I would impulse each you readers to publication the great, Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage my colleagues did successful the aftermath of the audio leak scandal, because it captured the metropolis astatine its worst — but besides its finest arsenic residents fought backmost and demanded politicians do better.

Four years later, we could only dream this upcoming predetermination shows much of the same.

The move sparked crisp condemnation from Ukraine and critics of the Trump administration.

Following Russia’s penetration of Ukraine, lawmakers took a bid of steps to effort to financially punish the Kremlin. In 2022, the Senate unanimously passed a measure to prohibition Russian lipid imports, and Congress has not made changes to the rule to bespeak the president’s announcement.

Asked by moderator Kristen Welker whether he believes the president is breaking the rule pinch his Russia deal, Tillis said, “I judge that he whitethorn be.”

“I do judge there’s a morganatic lawsuit for saying the president’s not pursuing the law,” he added moments later. “We were very clear that Russia is the aggressor. Russia is the 1 who could extremity this warfare by backing retired of territory that they occupied.”

The White House didn’t instantly respond to a petition for remark connected the senator’s remarks.

Tillis referenced year-end legislature backing negotiations erstwhile asked what the Senate could do if Tillis believes Trump is breaking the law.

“If the president wants my support, which I judge he should get for backing subject operations and year-end backing beyond baseline funding, I deliberation the president needs to understand this is simply a problem, and I’m not the only Republican concerned pinch this,” he said.

Asked whether Trump’s woody pinch Putin was putting American lives astatine risk, Tillis said, “It perfectly will,” pointing to Russia backing mercenaries and Russia’s narration pinch Iran.

Tillis has conscionable months remaining earlier his word expires. His status from the Senate created a high-profile battleground opening. Democrats are eyeing his spot arsenic a premier target to flip arsenic they push to triumph power of the chamber.

Tillis said that the livestream plans would radicalize group and beryllium utilized by violent groups arsenic a recruiting tool.

“The Fort Hood shooter should beryllium put to death, but there’s a measurement to woody pinch this that’s proper, and there’s a measurement to woody pinch this that’s much improper than I person ever observed successful my life,” he said.

“This is not who we are, and it’s different illustration of why Pete Hegseth, successful each of his bravado, needs to get the hellhole retired of the Department of Defense because he is simply a grounded leader, and we request beardown activity supporting President Trump correct now,” he added.

Michigan’s Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed said his chap Democrats request to “win by monolithic numbers” successful the upcoming midterm elections truthful the consequence “is unquestionable.”

“Donald Trump has already threatened to do what he did successful 2020, which is contradict the outcomes of an election,” El-Sayed told Beritaja’ “Meet the Press” successful an question and reply that aired Sunday.

Asked by Beritaja connected Saturday whether he would judge the results of the midterm elections nary matter who wins, Trump said, “Of people I will. But we don’t want cheating.”

El-Sayed’s Republican opponent, erstwhile Rep. Mike Rogers, has besides denied 2020 predetermination results, El-Sayed told moderator Kristen Welker. “The feline I’m moving against, he insinuates that he didn’t really suffer successful 2020,” he said. “He talks about this mythical van that showed up successful Detroit pinch a bunch of votes, arsenic if he didn’t lose.”

Asked by Welker about whether he thinks Trump and Rogers would telephone his title into mobility if the results are close, El-Sayed said, “I americium concerned that Donald Trump and Mike Rogers are not committed to the institution of our democracy.”

After Joe Biden won the 2020 statesmanlike election, Trump targeted Michigan pinch predetermination fraud claims that were yet changeable down by a judge, who called them “nothing but speculation and conjecture.”

Michigan was besides among a fistful of states wherever Trump supporters successful 2020 sought to taxable a slate of alleged clone electors to the Electoral College to falsely state that Trump won. Fifteen group were charged successful the alleged scheme, but their cases were later dismissed.

Earlier this year, successful a bid of escalating inquiries about the state’s elector rolls, the Trump management demanded that Wayne County, location to Detroit, springiness the national authorities each of its ballots from the 2024 statesmanlike election.

In the “Meet the Press interview,” which was taped connected Friday, El-Sayed said he’s assured he could triumph complete erstwhile Trump voters pinch his campaign’s economical focus. That includes making healthcare much accessible done “Medicare for All” and fighting firm interests.

“Everywhere I go, I get personification who comes up and says, ‘Look, I voted for Trump two, 3 times, and I’m voting for you.’ And I inquire why. They say, ‘It’s because you really want maine to person healthcare.’ I really want them to person healthcare. ‘It’s because you really are America first.’ I really americium America first,” said El-Sayed, a erstwhile nationalist wellness official.

He besides hopes those economical messages resonate pinch Jewish voters who whitethorn different beryllium skeptical of him because of his disapproval of Israel and his rhetoric.

“The things that merge america are truthful overmuch bigger than the things that disagreement us, truthful overmuch bigger. We judge successful belief pluralism. We judge successful the separation of religion and state. We judge that much group merit healthcare. We judge successful reproductive rights. We judge that Donald Trump is an existential threat connected our democracy. We judge that corporations shouldn’t beryllium capable to bargain politicians,” he said.

El-Sayed again expressed regret about his first guidance to a March vehicle-ramming attack connected a synagogue adjacent Detroit. He condemned the onslaught astatine the clip but added that “hurt group wounded people,” noting that immoderate of the attacker’s family members had died days earlier successful airstrikes successful Lebanon.

“If I measurement connected somebody’s grief, of people I regret that. And I really wish I’d thought about really personification would person felt proceeding that and thought doubly about making those comments,” El-Sayed told Welker.

“My committedness to Jewish information is the aforesaid arsenic my committedness to my ain kids,” he added. “And we request to beryllium capable to cognize that we could spell to our schools, that we could spell to our places of worship, and that cipher is going to attack.”

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which supports pro-Israel candidates from some parties, targeted El-Sayed’s first comments connected the onslaught successful mailers sent to voters this week.

A ace PAC called “Together for Michigan” besides began airing ads this week centered connected the remarks. In one ad, a female says her boy was successful the synagogue connected the time of the attack, telling viewers that El-Sayed “gave an excuse to personification who wanted to execution children. I’m a lifelong Democrat, but this election, I’m voting for Mike Rogers.”

With the last push to the midterms underway, Welker asked El-Sayed about his plans to run pinch erstwhile President Barack Obama. In a 2012 HuffPost sentiment piece, El-Sayed wrote that “Obama was not the correct choice. He conscionable wasn’t the incorrect one. This leader has perpetrated war, violated our civilian liberties, deported much group from our shores than immoderate different president earlier him, and the database of his failures goes on.”

On Friday, El-Sayed said that clip has changed his position connected Obama.

“I deliberation about 8 years of President Obama’s activity and you comparison that to the 12 years we’ve lived since. You look backmost and say, ‘Man, that was a really could leader, who led pinch a benignant of belief successful group and uncommon grace, moreover for group who disagreed pinch him,’” El-Sayed said.

And yet successful an system wherever the large things mightiness look acold away, location are ever small treats to get by.

“I’ve been successful a existent ‘buy yourself small treats’ mentality,” said Monahan. “I support buying excessively overmuch worldly for my dog. I conjecture I didn’t bargain different dog. That’s saving, right?”
