A year after the Eaton fire, survivors and the state’s electric utilities are clashing over whether state law should continue to protect the companies from the cost of disastrous wildfires they ignite. Pedro Pizarro, chief executive of Edison International, told The Times last month that he disagreed strongly with claims that state law had gone too far in protecting utilities. Then, all fire damages, except for $1 billion covered by customer-paid insurance, are covered by the state wildfire fund. AdvertisementPizarro said the possibility of Edison paying as much as $4 billion shows that state law is working to keep utilities accountable. Chen’s group is not alone in urging the state to change the laws protecting utilities from wildfire costs.

Los Angeles Times NFL writer Sam Farmer examines the matchups and makes his predictions for the NFL divisional playoffs. Using point spreads with the scores Farmer predicted, his record against the spread in last week would have been 1-5 (.167). All times are Pacific and TV reflects broadcasts in the Los Angeles area. But they also have Matthew Stafford, who should win league MVP and has been to the mountaintop before (unlike all the other remaining playoff quarterbacks). The Rams' defense needs to contain Caleb Williams without over-pursuing him.

The Indispensable Role of Oncology Nurses Across the Cancer ContinuumOncology nurses occupy a central position in contemporary cancer care across a range of settings. Expert Clinical Care and Symptom ManagementExpert clinical care is the foundation of oncology nursing. For instance, palliative care led by oncology nurses reduces symptom burden in patients with advanced cancer, improving clinical outcomes and lowering acute care use. Oncology nurses provide essential care coordination, orchestrating referrals, monitoring transitions between inpatient and outpatient settings, and communicating across multidisciplinary teams. Taken together, these workforce pressures and the critical roles of oncology nurses have clear implications for the quality and continuity of cancer care.

The opinion said the holdings “vindicate essential principles of habeas and immigration law.” The ruling did not address the merits of Khalil’s underlying claims about deportability. The Third Circuit ruling returns the question of custody and the path to judicial review to the immigration‑court process. An immigration judge, while district court proceedings were ongoing, found Khalil removable, concluding he could be deported to Algeria or Syria; Khalil has challenged that determination in the immigration system. The appeals panel emphasized that the statutory removal process, culminating in a petition for review to a federal circuit, is the proper route for such claims. Key unanswered items in the case include whether ICE will move immediately to re‑detain Khalil, the government’s next steps, and whether Khalil will seek en banc or Supreme Court review.

A federal judge in Oakland has cleared major portions of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI Inc. and Microsoft Corp., ruling that enough factual allegations survive to send the case to a jury in late April 2026. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers denied motions by both defendants to dismiss claims that Musk says show OpenAI abandoned its founding charitable purpose and misled early donors. Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI who left the board in 2018 and later launched his own AI company in 2023, filed the suit in August 2024. Judge Gonzalez Rogers highlighted internal OpenAI communications cited in Musk’s filings as central factual material. Musk’s lead counsel expressed appreciation for the court’s consideration and indicated they are preparing for trial.

A federal law enforcement officer shot a Venezuelan man in the leg during a targeted immigration traffic stop in north Minneapolis, authorities said, and both the man and the officer were treated at hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. According to federal accounts, the officer was ambushed and assaulted by three individuals during a struggle and fired defensive shots, striking the man in the leg. Officials have not released charges or a full timeline, and several elements of the federal account remain under review. Beyond immediate injuries and arrests, public health experts and community leaders caution that repeated confrontations and crowd-control tactics can have lasting health effects. In a city already polarized over immigration enforcement, the shooting underscores the fraught intersection of policing, public health and community trust.

AdvertisementUnder the plan, many current CBP employees would need to attain a higher certification in what’s known as “mobile field force training,” according to the memo. The advanced training is a prerequisite for using pepper balls and tear gas canisters — as opposed to just pepper spray — provided officers attain additional certifications. Leadership expects its field offices to carry out the training as quickly as possible so that CBP employees can be deployed in more volatile situations alongside other law enforcement agencies. It is now common to see CBP and Border Patrol alongside ICE on the streets of Minneapolis and other cities. This is an impossible situation that our city is presently being put in.”AdvertisementThis would not be the first time Trump has enlisted CBP to help quell demonstrations.

Alontsev: «The peculiarity of the protests in Iran in recent years is the absence of a single leading force»An Iran expert, associate professor at HSE, on what is happening in IranWhat is really happening in Iran: are external players or the economic situation in the region to blame for the unrest? — Who is the main driving force behind the protests and does it have a main driving, leading force? The peculiarity of the protests in recent years in Iran is the absence of any single leading force. The current leadership accuses the Pahlavi regime they overthrew of being godless, and its supporters, in response, construct an image of a «secular» Iran of the Shah's times. — Some protesters (the Iranian authorities call them «rioters» and «terrorists») consider mosques to be one of the main symbols of the regime.
