    CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have benched 2023 No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young after the second-year quarterback’s rough start to the season.
    Andy Dalton will take over as the starter for Carolina’s next game on Sunday at Las Vegas.
    Panthers head coach Dave Canales said he made the decision after watching game film from Sunday’s 26-3 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

    Letter: The American people prevailed over the leftist media and radical elites
    What a wonderful feeling watching the radical left-wing Biden administration, the media machine and the liberal Hollywood Elite receive a crushing blow by President Donald Trump.
    Their bogus lawsuits, nonstop attacks on the former president, and ridiculous assaults by Democratic pundits and late-night TV hosts are now in ashes.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — Global efforts to fight climate change stumbled but survived the last time Donald Trump was elected president and withdrew the United States from an international climate agreement. Other countries, states, cities and businesses picked up some of the slack.

    WASHINGTON (AP) — A relatively trouble-free presidential election was good news for those working to restore faith in the system. Less encouraging was a flood of misinformation that sought to undermine trust in voting and sow chaos, something experts say is likely to get worse in the years ahead.

    SACRAMENTO – Few Americans were thinking about historical and political trends when they cast their votes for president on Tuesday, as confirmed by exit polls showing bread-and-butter issues – inflation, housing costs and a tepid economy – topping their concerns. I don’t blame Donald Trump’s working-class-heavy voters for looking at their wallets and determining that anything would be better than a dose of California-style liberalism.

    The changing of the guard in Washington, D.C. on January 20 will likely complicate the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s plans to fund construction of its Early Operating Segment in the Central Valley. A new administration, hostile to California generally and rail funding in particular, will be less willing than its predecessor to offer additional grant funding. Rather than wait out the new administration and hope for better results in 2028, now would be a good time for the Authority,

    HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Republicans landed historic victories in Pennsylvania this week, winning the battleground state’s valuable presidential electoral votes, posting a two-seat gain in its U.S. House delegation and sweeping all four statewide offices on the ballot, including a U.S. Senate seat.
    The strong performance means Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania in two out of three tries, after Republicans had lost six straight presidential elections there.

    For the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and other dogged supporters of extreme rent controls, the third time most definitely was not the charm in Tuesday’s election.
    The group backed Proposition 33, which would have overturned a 1995 law limiting local rent controls. It wouldn’t have imposed rent control per se, but would have allowed cities to have nearly unlimited power to impose vacancy controls and place rent limits on single-family homes and newer construction.
