Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:08:29 GMT

COLUMBIA. Mo. (AP) — Missouri's attorney general announced new restrictions Thursday on transgender care for adults in addition to minors, in a move that is believed to be a first nationally and has advocacy groups threatening to sue.Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced plans to restrict transgender health care weeks ago, when protesters rallied at the Capitol to urge lawmakers to pass a law banning puberty blockers, hormones and surgeries for children. But the discussion was focused on minors, not adults.Missouri Attorney General spokeswoman Madeline Sieren clarified in a statement later in the day that adults also would be covered.“We have serious concerns about how children are being treated throughout the state, but we believe everyone is entitled to evidence-based medicine and adequate mental health care,” Sieren said.

Movie star and former California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger went viral on Tuesday for posting a video of him personally filling what he said was a pothole that had been bothering him and his neighbors in Brentwood "for weeks."But as it turns out, the hole was not technically a pothole. The video, which has amassed over 11 million views since it was posted on Tuesday afternoon, shows “The Terminator” actor filling the rut with pre-packaged blacktop. “I always say, let’s not complain, let’s do something about it,” Schwarzenegger tweeted.  However, the hole that was pestering drivers wasn’t there by accident.

Former Oakland police captain seeks damages, says he was “falsely blamed” in cover-up scandal

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:08:29 GMT

OAKLAND — A former police captain who was accused in January of overseeing the cover-up of a sergeant’s misconduct has filed a legal claim with the city insisting he had nothing to do with the botched internal affairs probe.Wilson Lau had been the Oakland Police Department captain tasked with looking into Sgt. Michael Chung’s hit-and-run with a parked vehicle — an investigation that, by the end, omitted key details of Chung’s misconduct.The scandal came to light in a bombshell independent report that in February led to the firing of Chief LeRonne Armstrong, and delayed plans for OPD to be released from federal oversight, where the embattled department has remained for two decades.Lau, who last month was fired by East Bay Regional Parks police in the wake of the Oakland scandal, now says his subordinate officer “falsely blamed” him for ordering the cover-up.The former captain is seeking damages from the city, indicating in the suit that among...
