He was treated for minor injuries and doctors have since adjusted his care plan.

Fetterman says he is in good spirits and even cracked a joke about his bruised face.

It’s another milestone in a career filled with them and a reminder of who sits at the center of the Dodgers' championship window.

FBI surveillance, wiretaps and secret meetings near the California Statehouse. Newly reviewed court records reveal that former top Newsom aide Dana Williamson was being quietly recorded during multiple 2024 meetings with her codefendants as federal investigators built a corruption case around an alleged $225,000 scheme tied to Xavier Becerra’s dormant campaign fund.

Animal welfare advocates have long warned about the severe abuse unfolding in this area, and now city officials say a new enforcement push is finally underway.

L.A. traffic during the Olympics? Archer Aviation has a different idea: take it to the skies.⁠

For the first time ever, the company’s fully driverless robotaxis will take riders onto actual freeways in Los Angeles, Phoenix and the Bay Area, no human driver inside, no test mode, just full autonomy at highway speeds.

After years of development and cautious city-street testing, Waymo says its AVs are finally ready for the most complex part of the drive. The expansion also puts new pressure on rivals like Tesla and Amazon’s Zoox as the race for robotaxi dominance heats up.

From highway merges to curbside airport pickups, this marks a major leap forward in the future of L.A. transportation.

In a historic move at City Hall, the Los Angeles City Council has voted to cap annual rent increases at 4 percent for roughly 650,000 units across the city. Lawmakers say the change is aimed at keeping more Angelenos housed as soaring rent costs push families out of their neighborhoods.

The updated formula also allows an additional 2 percent credit for landlords who cover utilities, and the city will now expand support for small housing providers feeling the strain.

It is one of the most sweeping rent control adjustments in decades and arrives as more than half of L.A. renters spend over 30 percent of their income on housing.

The U.S. Mint has officially pressed its final penny. After more than 230 years in circulation, the 1-cent coin is being retired for good, deemed too expensive to keep producing and costing nearly four cents to make every one.

U.S. Treasurer Brandon Beach pressed the last two pennies today in Philadelphia, closing the book on an American icon that will remain legal tender but is now officially history.
