How exactly did James Talarico, a man who believes God is non-binary and who disappeared for 2 weeks prior to the election, outpoll Kamala Harris by 500,000 votes? Something is rotten in the State of Texas. And Georgia, Kansas, Iowa, Maine, California not to mention Michigan. In the hours after the November 3, 2026, midterm elections, social media filled with skepticism over Democratic gains in traditionally Republican strongholds. Users pointed to results in Texas, where...

The wind off the Pacific still carried the faint, sweet-rot smell of ash. I parked in the PCH parking lot at Will Rogers State Beach, where the road narrowed and walked the last quarter-mile down the slope to what had been the Palisades Bowl. The mobile-home park featuring wide views of the blue Pacific, sat in a shallow bowl of eucalyptus and ice plant; now the bowl held only concrete pads, blackened trailer frames twisted into question marks, and the occasional scorched...

The Los Angeles Times Food Bowl 2026, held at the historic Barker Hangar (3021 Airport Avenue, Santa Monica) on Friday, October 23, and Saturday, October 24, offered exactly that: a first-class pairing of restaurant tastings, awards, cooking demonstrations, and celebrity appearances. I attended both evenings and found the food exceptional. Each night had...
You took twenty years to save for that house. Or you have held onto a rent-controlled unit through three landlords because it is the only reason your family is still in Santa Monica. Either way, you were here first, and you are not sure anyone at City Hall remembers that. You have seen public land that could hold homes sold off instead. You called code enforcement about the leak, or the permit, and waited. You went to the meeting, and your three minutes became one, and the...
