  MIAMI — Not since Crockett and Tubbs has a duo laid down the law in Miami like Landon Knack and Matt Sauer.
  Promoted from Triple-A with an assignment to soak up innings so the rest of the Dodgers’ pitching staff could catch its breath, Knack and Sauer combined to take a shutout into the ninth inning as the Dodgers beat the Miami Marlins, 10-1, on Wednesday.

  08-05-2025 01:06 via ocregister.com
  
  President Donald Trump recently released a budget blueprint for the next fiscal year that would take a chainsaw to social, environmental and education programs. Some of the sharpest cuts are directed at housing programs that are meant to serve the poor, housing insecure and unhoused.
  In California, millions are served by these funds and state and local governments depend on them to operate affordable housing, rental assistance, homeless service, planning and legal programs.

  08-05-2025 00:52 via ocregister.com
  
  In her home in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Eboni Moen, 42, struggled to find help. Some days she would rock back and forth in her shower, crying uncontrollably and thinking back to her son’s murder. She needed a therapist, she said, someone who could help her process what happened and find appropriate medication.
  But in rural Amador County, where she lives, mental health providers are few and far between, and it took Moen about two and a half years to find help.

  The Trump administration is promising to fix the nationwide shortage of air traffic controllers after recent control tower mishaps and a string of crashes earlier this year.
  The need for more controllers who direct planes across increasingly crowded skies, though, isn’t a new issue or one that will be resolved quickly.

  Donald Trump’s latest policy stunt, a proposed 100% tariff on all foreign-made films, is designed to appear as a patriotic gesture at first glance. Trump frames the issue as a “national security” concern, claiming that Hollywood productions are “betraying” their home countries when they organize filming in Canada, the UK, or even my native country, Hungary. He is wrong.
