  02-04-2025 07:01 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Two years after last taking the mound in a regular-season game, Dustin May was everything the Dodgers remembered.
  With his red frizzy hair flowing from the back of his cap, May was a man in motion on Tuesday night, while essentially matching Atlanta Braves ace Chris Sale for five innings.
  The outing gave the Dodgers enough time to mount a rally in an otherwise stagnant night for offense as they pulled out a 3-1 victory to improve to 7-0 on the season. It is the best start for

  MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Judge Susan Crawford preserved liberals’ narrow majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court Tuesday by defeating conservative Brad Schimel, but in a way the real loser of the election was billionaire Elon Musk.

• Debra J. Saunders: DOGE or runaway debt?

  02-04-2025 06:10 via ocregister.com
  
  WASHINGTON — It’s not what DOGE is doing; it’s how DOGE is doing it. That’s been the Beltway take on the dream child of Elon Musk and President Donald Trump, the Department of Government Efficiency. Or, “the so-called Department of Government Efficiency,” as The New York Times put it.
  That’s probably why Musk and DOGE lieutenants sat down for an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Thursday — to pitch their case directly to the public.

  While describing his shower mishap from Sunday, the Dodgers’ first baseman painted a picture that was as scary as it was amusing. That he could be back in the lineup as soon as Wednesday made it easier to laugh.
