13+ min ago (486+ words) The deal was meant to resolve habeas corpus and Racial Justice Act petitions Chatman filed this year, alleging his trial was plagued by racial bias and misconduct. LoBue's surviving siblings balked at the proposal, saying they were assured last year by Rosen that taking Chatman off death row would still end with him dying in prison. After a Friday court hearing, in which Judge Eric Geffon said approving the agreement exceeded his authority under a 2022 law change, Tony LoBue and his sister Marie audibly exhaled. "We feel that finally, the wheels of justice are starting to turn in our favor," Tony LoBue said outside the courtroom. "I know this isn't over. We will be fighting every step of the way." A violation of the RJA, Gadeberg further argued, would vacate the entire conviction " and the settlement preserved the first-degree murder…...

58+ min ago (460+ words) The government surveils you every time you drive through San Jose, collecting a trove of highly revealing data that police search thousands of times per month without ever seeking a warrant.

1+ hour, 58+ min ago (338+ words) We will seize the opportunity today to end decades of bloodshed and make lasting peace a reality," U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Michael Waltz'said, beaming'after the vote. Occasional firefights continue to this day; according to Gaza health officials,'at least 352 Palestinians have been killed'since Trump's ceasefire plan went into effect. Given that an unknown number of Hamas militants are stuck underground on the Israeli side of the yellow line dividing Israeli and Hamas-controlled territory, the number is bound to go up in the days and weeks ahead. Meanwhile, Israel is increasingly frustrated with what it perceives to be Hamas stonewalling and is threatening to block Phase 2 of Trump's plan until those two bodies are returned. The longer this dispute goes on, the less likely Phase 2 will begin and the more likely Trump will see his diplomatic achievement in Gaza go sideways. Yet…...

2+ hour, 11+ min ago (677+ words) Dear Eric: Our son and his girlfriend of 24 years got married by a judge. It was a civil ceremony necessary to get him on her health insurance. He approached my wife and me and said, "We're not into social media." I did not glean from this that he meant we should post nothing at all. Late the next night he texted us to take it down, saying, "We asked you directly not to do this." I replied, I'm sorry, I didn't understand that I was not to post anything at all. I feel bad because my son seems to feel he can forbid me from sharing this news with my friends. Many are longtime friends from church who have known my son for decades. It seems to me a little pushy for him to forbid me to share with my…...

(AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) President Donald Trump's renewed crusade against legal immigration poses a direct threat to the long-term financial interests of the older White Americans who remain his core supporters. Since the tragic shooting of two National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., last week by a man from Afghanistan, Trump has directed a fusillade of invective not only at undocumented immigrants, refugees and foreigners seeking asylum, but at all of the nation's foreign-born population " nearly 52 million people. He has pledged to retrench multiple avenues for legal immigration and to remove an untold number of immigrants already in the US through a process of "reverse migration" " a phrase associated with far-right European parties.

2+ hour, 43+ min ago (568+ words) DEAR HARRIETTE: My friend and I were talking recently, and she made a comment about my daughter that caught me off guard. It wasn't outright cruel, but it was insensitive: She implied that my daughter was "a lot to handle" and hinted that her behavior made it difficult for people to be around her. I know kids can be overwhelming at times, and I'm not blind to the fact that my daughter has her moments, but the way she said it felt judgmental " almost like she had been holding this opinion for a while and finally let it slip. It really hurt my feelings. I didn't say anything in the moment because I was shocked and didn't want to escalate things, but now I keep replaying it in my head. To make things worse, my friend has been acting like…...

3+ hour, 17+ min ago (558+ words) DEAR MISS MANNERS: Just after Thanksgiving each year, my young nieces send out a letter to the extended family that contains their "Letter to Santa," outlining the things they would like as gifts. Sometimes the letters are very cute. My husband and his siblings grew up with these letters as a tradition, and I don't mind receiving them. What I don't want is for my kids to write similar letters. I don't like them getting used to the idea that they can just make lists of things other people should get for them. Quietly I believe this leads to overuse of gift registries later in life. But my in-laws have requested lists from my children. How do I explain that this isn't something we're going to do, without making it seem like negative commentary on other people's parenting? I've tried…...

4+ hour, 5+ min ago (578+ words) The Sharks were unable to capitalize on some third-period scoring opportunities Friday and instead allowed a go-ahead goal to Sam Steel with 9:04 left in regulation time in what became a 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center to open a five-game road trip. Steel put a shot on net that Sharks goalie Yaroslav Askarov could not quite control. A second effort by Steel ended up going through Askarov's legs, off the far post, and in for a 2-1 Stars lead. Mikko Rantanen added an insurance goal at the 16:39 mark of the third period for Dallas, just before Macklin Celebrini had a goal with 2:20 to go in regulation, which was taken away after the Stars successfully challenged for offside. Dallas added an empty-net goal by Miro Heiskanen with 2:19 left in the third. The loss was the Sharks' fifth straight on…...
