The Los Angeles Times previously revealed that the official after‑action report—intended to document operational failures and guide future improvements—underwent significant edits that softened language, removed explicit criticism of command decisions, and reframed staffing failures as successes. In the final public version, this was rewritten to claim the department went “above and beyond” its deployment matrix. The Palisades Fire, which erupted in January 2025, killed 12 people and destroyed thousands of homes, becoming one of the most destructive urban‑wildland fires in Los Angeles history. Community members and fire‑safety advocates have criticized Moore’s refusal to investigate the edits, arguing that accountability is essential to preventing future disasters. Letters to the Los Angeles Times have questioned why the department is avoiding transparency when lives were lost and critical mistakes may have been concealed.

Sergio Pérez on what's fuelled his return to F1Lining up on the F1 grid for the very first time this season will be a brand new team: the American backed Cadillac F1 Team. They may be a start-up but they boast two of the most experienced drivers on the grid in Sérgio Perez and Valtteri Bottas. Pérez took a break from the sport last season having lost his Red Bull seat at the end of the 2024 season, a period he admits was "very difficult". Now with Cadillac, the Mexican comes back with a point to prove and a new chapter to write. As he's been telling CNN's Amanda Davies while podium finishes may not be realistic just yet, the unpredictability of the season's new rules changes could shake-up the grid like never before.

The food warming cabinet outside Taj Indian Cuisine on Clarks Pond Parkway in South Portland. (Courtesy of Taj Indian Cuisine)Last November, Taj Indian Cuisine in South Portland installed a food warming cabinet in its entryway, stocked with free meals for anyone in need. Owner Sai Guntaka said on Monday the restaurant has decided to keep the hot box stocked and available year-round. Last fall, Guntaka had planned to put a refrigerator in the Taj entryway stocked with free meals, but changed to a warming cabinet to offer hot, ready-to-eat food. “In the beginning, we only did it on holidays,” Guntaka said, referring to Taj’s tradition of giving out thousands of free meals to Mainers in need at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Trump's deployment of Homan comes as a federal judge hears arguments Monday on whether to temporarily halt the Trump administration's immigration enforcement in Minnesota. After federal officials denied Minnesota state investigators access to the shooting scene in South Minneapolis, local and state officials in Minnesota accused DHS of mishandling evidence. But some Democrats in Minnesota oppose sending Homan to Minnesota. In a short interview with The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, Trump criticized Pretti for carrying a gun during protest activity. The president declined to comment on whether the agent who shot Pretti had done the right thing.

Though Game of Thrones (the HBO adaptation) saw the story through to an end, the final two books remain unwritten. Martin is 77, with not one but two enormous books left to write, The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. In the THR interview, Martin refers to the characters as his children. It’s not just fantasy series that use this practice. Condal and Martin then publicly fell out over choices Condal made in the second season, a thing I have complained about at length.

It’s early in the Draft Process, but a clear trend has already emerged for the New York Giants at fifth overall: wide receiver to help Jaxson Dart. Daniel Jeremiah of NFL.com, however, has bucked that trend in his Mock Draft 1.0. Rather than build around Dart, he opts to add to the Giants’ secondary with LSU Monsoor Delane. New York Giants - Mansoor Delane, CB, LSU The Giants could add a receiver later in the draft since there is a deep class at the position, but Delane would immediately be their most talented cornerback. If the Giants don’t re-sign Cor’Dale Flott, it would likely signal that they’re pursuing a cornerback in the draft.
