Rob Bonta called the Trump administration’s fraud claims “outrageous and ridiculous and without basis.” Above, at Dockweiler State Beach. With the Trump administration reportedly in talks to create an anti-fraud task force for California, state Atty. Rob Bonta on Thursday vehemently denounced what he described as the administration’s “reckless” and “false” rhetoric about fraud plaguing the state. AdvertisementAs a politicized national fight over waste, fraud and abuse led by Republicans have targeted California and its Democratic leadership, Bonta and other state officials have moved swiftly to combat the claims. “We know Vance hails from Ohio, so maybe he should take a look in his own backyard before leading an unnecessary political stunt focused on California,” Bonta said.

LOADING ERROR LOADINGThe Olympics don’t officially begin until Friday, but a report that ski jumpers may be using penis injections to get an edge is already arousing controversy. The German-language publication Bild reported last month that jumpers were injecting hyaluronic acid into their sex organs before being measured for their skin-tight suits. That’s because ski jumpers have their bodies scanned before competition to ensure the skin-tight ski suits don’t have extra material that would improve their lift when in the air, Reuters explained. “The crotch of a ski jumper’s suit is allowed to run to the bottom of the athlete’s genitals, meaning an enlarged penis would give them more potentially performance-enhancing material,” the news agency noted. Whether hyaluronic acid is the secret sauce to winning the gold in ski jumping remains to be seen, but uniforms have been an issue in the sport.
A man who burglarized a Sherman Oaks home as the owner’s body lay decomposing inside was sentenced Thursday to more than 16 years in prison for his role in a sprawling fraud scheme. Prosecutors said Herrling dismembered and disposed of Wilding’s body to prevent the discovery of his death. Behesnilian said Herrling saw Wilding’s death as an “opportunity to get a lot of money.”“She used my client,” he said. “She was the mastermind.”Behesnilian claimed Kroth had a “violent break” from Herrling, because he wanted to notify authorities of Wilding’s body and she refused. He wrote that Herrling and co-conspirators removed Wilding’s body from his home and attempted to dissolve it in acid and lye on the rooftop balcony of her apartment.
On Thursday, the Chicago Bears re-signed offensive lineman Theo Benedet to a one-year, $1 million deal. Benedet, an exclusive-rights free agent, was originally an undrafted free agent by the Bears in 2024 after playing at the University of British Columbia. He spent 2024 on Chicago’s practice squad, but was thrust into the left tackle competition after a solid 2025 offseason. A quad injury in November opened the door for rookie Ozzy Trapilo to play left tackle, and he remained the starter even when Benedet returned. However, a patellar tendon injury now has Ozzy’s 2026 season in doubt, which may open the door for Benedet this offseason.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist winner of last November’s election , campaigned on rising grocery bills and housing costs, and barely discussed climate change. Other issues have become much more important to voters, and people are reading and watching climate change news less across the global north . A Pew Research Center global survey from August found that many high-income countries have seen a mass reduction in concerns around climate change as a major threat. Take the claim that extreme weather events, because of climate change, have dramatically made us worse off. Germany’s vaunted energy transition has been a textbook case of climate scares driving poor but immensely costly decisions.

The Steelers have made the NFL playoffs seven times since the Pirates’ last postseason appearance, in 2015. The Pirates have spent decades signaling to their fans that they aren’t supposed to stick around for October. Somehow, it’s the first multi-year free agent deal the Pirates have inked since they signed pitcher Ivan Nova in 2016. Yet in its penny-pinching, half measures, this franchise is again daring its great players to defy the odds instead of providing backup. With any luck, the fans will get a new era of Pirates baseball to thunderously support anyway.
HuffPost: First, how do you define the ‘imperial boomerang,’ or the ‘colonial boomerang,’ as it’s also called? Julian Go: The “imperial boomerang” concept refers to the process by which imperialism abroad comes home to impact the imperializers themselves. Are those groups’ interactions with civilians a byproduct of the imperial boomerang? Go: We see the imperial boomerang most with the police. You write that we often see the ‘imperial boomerang’ come into play in response to perceived racialized threats from minority and immigrant populations.
