We were promised a transparent process where public input would shape the future of our city’s most critical transit link. By introducing "Modified Alternative 5"—a hybrid project that was never presented to the public for review—Metro is attempting to bypass the very environmental laws designed to protect the public's voice. By the time the document actually reached the public in June 2025, the project was nearly three years behind its original schedule. None of those 8,000 comments were about "Modified Alternative 5." Modified Alternative 5 is a new project with a new alignment on Van Nuys Boulevard and a new phasing plan that could leave the Valley with a half-finished line for decades.

National NewsWhat to know about the FBI searching a Washington Post reporter's homeThere are growing questions about the FBI search of a Washington Post reporter's home. That reporter, Hannah Natanson, published an extensive piece just a month ago on President Donald Trump's overhaul of the federal government. The attorney general claimed she reported on classified and illegally leaked information.

Sweeping indictments were filed in federal court that allege players from 17 men’s college basketball teams conspired to fix games for the last four years. “This was a massive scheme that enveloped the world of college basketball,” Metcalf said.

Millions of children in public schools will again be offered whole and 2% milk after President Donald J. Trump signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act into law in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 14, 2026. The statute, cited in federal guidance as the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025, amends Section 9(a)(2)(A) of the Richard B. Russell National School Lunch Act (42 U.S.C. 1758(a)(2)(A)) and revises USDA rules for the National School Lunch Program (NSLP). The law reverses elements of the 2010 Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act that had tightly limited school milk to fat-free or low-fat choices in alignment with prior Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It also changes how saturated fat is calculated for weekly meal requirements: fluid milk will be excluded from the weekly average saturated fat calculation for school lunches.

The president was deeply troubled about the prospect, a source familiar with the meeting told CNN. “The truth is only President Trump knows what he’s going to do, and a very, very small team of advisors are read in to his thinking on that,” she said. The message carried added weight for the president, given Netanyahu’s past entreaties to Trump to join in Israeli military action against Iran. A day later, however, Trump seemed convinced by messages from Iran that plans to put protesters to death were off. The US military is moving a carrier strike group to the region, according to a source familiar the matter.

(Moritz Frankenberg/dpa via AP)NUUK, Greenland -- Troops from several European countries, including France, Germany, the UK, Norway and Sweden, are arriving in Greenland in a show of support for Denmark as talks between representatives of Denmark, Greenland and the U.S. on Wednesday highlighted “fundamental disagreement” between the Trump administration and European allies on the future of the Arctic island. Germany will deploy a reconnaissance team of 13 personnel to Greenland on Thursday, its Defense Ministry said. He said soldiers from several NATO countries will be in Greenland on a rotation system.

President Donald Trump on Thursday revealed a health care proposal he dubbed the “Great Healthcare Plan,” outlining a set of cost-cutting ideas but stopping short of offering a detailed replacement for the Affordable Care Act. The proposal does not include new ideas to expand health coverage or simplify America’s often-byzantine health care system. “Trump’s health care plan is … a subsidy,” Grace Silva, a spokeswoman for 314 Action, a liberal advocacy group working to elect scientists and physicians to government, wrote in a statement. It should be our issue,” Trump told House Republicans at a policy session last week. Americans are more likely to trust Democrats than Republicans on health care issues, polls show.

The next day, the president is calling you terrorists and insurrectionists and threatening to turn the U.S. military on you and your kids. President Trump threatened on Thursday to invoke the Insurrection Act, just like he did in Los Angeles before sending in the National Guard using a lesser authority. “Minnesota insurrection is a direct result of a FAILED governor and a TERRIBLE mayor encouraging violence against law enforcement,” Deputy Atty. Just like in Minneapolis, we had some folks who used violence — even though the vast majority of protesters were peaceful. After the killing of George Floyd, Minneapolis showed it wasn’t afraid to show up for justice.
