Donald Trump to appear in court and be charged in historic moment Tuesday

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

Donald Trump will officially become the first former president to face criminal charges Tuesday when he’s arraigned in a New York courtroom — an appearance that is expected to be quick and routine but represents a surreal and historic moment in US history.Trump is set to arrive at the courthouse in downtown Manhattan Tuesday afternoon, where his arrest will be processed by the district attorney’s office and he will be brought to the courtroom to hear the charges against him.News outlets will not be able to broadcast the arraignment live, a judge said Monday night, rejecting a request from several media organizations, including CNN. Five still photographers, however, will be allowed to take pictures of Trump and the courtroom before the hearing begins.The indictment returned last week by a grand jury against Trump is also expected to be unsealed Tuesday, providing the public — and Trump’s legal team — with the first details about the specific charges he will face. The investigation s...

Andrew Wiggins’ return to Warrios imminent but is it too late?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

Andrew Wiggins can be a difference maker for the Warriors in the playoffs, but how long he takes to get back to his elite two-way form will impact how far the team will go.Wiggins missed 22 straight games and has been away from the team since Feb. 14 to deal with a family matter. While he’s been training on his own during his absence, individual work is much different than live-action speed and physicality.With his arrival coming with a week left in the regular season and two weeks before the first round of the playoffs, a few questions arise.For starters, when will he be cleared to play and back to the “two-way Wiggs” who locked down stars like Luka Doncic in the conference finals and Jayson Tatum in the finals whom fans adored during last year’s title run?Wiggins is expected to be at Tuesday’s home finale against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors are scheduled to have two practices between their two additional road games, which are scheduled for Friday at Sacramento and in P...

Walters: Gov. Newsom wins feud with oil industry — or did he?

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

So, the third time was the charm for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s crusade to punish oil companies for what he described as price-gouging — sort of.Newsom spent six months vilifying the oil industry after retail gasoline prices surged last year to as much as $2.60 a gallon over the national average, and initially proposed a tax on windfall profits.However, that didn’t wash with enough Democrats in the Legislature to pass, since new taxes require a two-thirds vote. Newsom then exchanged the tax for penalties, but while they would have required only a simple-majority vote, legislators were also cool to deciding what profit margins would be allowed.Finally — and almost in desperation — Newsom cut a deal that would dump the whole issue onto the California Energy Commission to gather data about refinery operations, establish a reasonable profit allowance and assess penalties for exceeding it.“Finally, we’re in a position to look our constituents in the eye and say we now have a better understandin...

A whole new ballgame: Monkey business baseball heads to San Jose

Turkey Mike’s has been the star at San Jose’s 82-year-old ballpark on the corner of East Alma and Senter Road for years.But for one night this summer, it’ll be all about the Bananas instead of the barbecue.A batter on stilts – who also plays first base.

Opinion: California migrant-children program could be national model

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:03:15 GMT

Migration by unaccompanied minors remains a central topic in immigration. Adding to concerns for young migrants’ welfare, the New York Times recently exposed the prevalence of migrant child labor in the United States and the conditions under which unaccompanied Central American children fall into exploitative, dangerous and life-threatening jobs.Following these revelations, the Biden administration announced plans to increase enforcement of immigration and labor laws — actions that many advocate for. But this oversimplifies child labor in the U.S. as a failure of oversight and ignores that children engage in labor migration as a means of survival.Families need alternatives to support themselves. Thus, efforts to protect unaccompanied immigrant children in the U.S. must pair law enforcement with the provision of social services that offer new opportunities for migrant children and their families.We don’t have to look far to imagine this pairing. California, which is consistently one ...
