• Trump’s promised ‘Liberation Day’ of tariffs is coming. Here’s what it could mean for you

  31-03-2025 00:47 via ocregister.com
  
  By JOSH BOAK
  WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says Wednesday will be “Liberation Day” — a moment when he plans to roll out a set of tariffs that he promises will free the United States from foreign goods.
  The details of Trump’s next round of import taxes are still sketchy. Most economic analyses say average U.S. families would have to absorb the cost of his tariffs in the form of higher prices and lower incomes. But an undeterred Trump is inviting CEOs to th

• USC faces UConn in the Elite Eight: ‘When there’s a will, there’s a way’

  31-03-2025 00:17 via ocregister.com
  
  SPOKANE, Wash. — It went from something like a tough 1,000-piece puzzle to three-dimensional, 5,000-piece doozy, game-planning for a rematch with UConn in the Elite Eight without superstar JuJu Watkins.
  USC women’s basketball coach Lindsay Gottlieb doesn’t only have to solve for superstar Paige Bueckers before Monday’s game with the second-seeded Huskies, she and her staff also had to fill in the hundred potholes left all over the court by Watkins’ absence.

  By CHRIS MEGERIAN
  WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump said Sunday that “I’m not joking” about trying to serve a third term, the clearest indication he is considering ways to breach a constitutional barrier against continuing to lead the country after his second term ends at the beginning of 2029.
  “There are methods which you could do it,” Trump said in a telephone interview with NBC News from Mar-a-Lago, his private club.

• Lakers focus on meshing offense ahead of season’s final two weeks

  30-03-2025 21:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Lakers coach JJ Redick acknowledged the obvious during his team’s road trip that ended with a crucial win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.
  The obvious being that while he expected the team’s offense to be “fine” in the long run, considering the shot creators on the roster, the success on that end of the floor would be predicated on how well they’d be able to integrate Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James and Austin Reaves with little time to do so.

  CHICAGO — After Kevin Newman started at shortstop the first two games, Tim Anderson got a shot on Sunday.
  And it might continue to be a revolving door until Zach Neto comes back.

  The prime minister of Greenland pushed back Sunday against assertions by U.S. President Donald Trump that America will take control of the island territory.
  Greenland, a huge, resource-rich island in the Atlantic, is a self-governing territory of Denmark, a NATO ally of the United States. Trump wants to annex the territory, claiming it’s needed for national security purposes.

  It was the scandal that Orange County Judge Thomas Goethals didn’t want to believe, the incendiary allegations of law enforcement wrongdoing that landed the high-profile trial he was presiding over at the center of a public firestorm.
  More than a decade has passed since the Orange County “snitch scandal” began to unspool in Goethals’ courtroom, ultimately leading the veteran jurist to remove the Orange County district attorney’s office from the murder trial of mass

  The scandal that scrambled Orange County’s justice system, upending dozens of murder cases, began late on a Friday night in a legal office that formerly was a morgue.
  It was April 2012, long past quitting time, when Orange County Assistant Public Defender Scott Sanders found a notation in a police report that would ultimately turn county law enforcement on its ear. A notation that many, if not most, defense lawyers would have overlooked.

  The answer to how Mookie Betts plans to become an elite shortstop is obvious – he’s going to work at it.
  “I truly believe in my work, and I’m giving it my all so I can lay my head down at night knowing that my work prepared me for any ball that comes my way,” Betts said this spring.
  He has put in that work since stepping in at shortstop a year ago. It started with extra hours on the field before games last season when he made his first foray into being an everyday s

  There are those who say the National Invitation Tournament, that venerable college basketball institution that dates to 1938 – one year before the NCAA Tournament was founded – is on its last legs.
  Too much competition in the postseason basketball sector, you see. Too many big schools who aren’t interested, and too much talk about expanding March Madness from 68 schools to 76, or 90, or whatever it takes to get that 17th-place Big Ten team or 15th-place SEC squad into the field

• Mileage tax is a fair idea, but has real perils

  30-03-2025 16:50 via ocregister.com
  
  From a market-based perspective, user fees that pay for public roads should be based on the amount that drivers use them. Instead, California assesses such fees through a tax on gasoline that only roughly approximates the wear and tear vehicles impose on the road system. People buy gas and then can drive as many miles as they choose.
  The system has worked decently enough, even though transportation officials and lawmakers haven’t always used the money wisely or efficiently. But California

  Eons (and Elons) ago, before DOGE began shaking up the federal government like a $6.1 trillion snow globe, California legislators convened in Sacramento to “Trump-proof” the state. 
  Two months into Trump 2.0, lawsuits are sprouting like California poppies as Musk dismisses thousands of career employees, dismembers entire agencies, and unilaterally cancels federal contracts, wielding a chainsaw (both literal and metaphorical) to a chant of “waste, fraud and abuse.”

  Over the past few months, protein-rich foods like eggs and beef have experienced significant price increases. The most recent U.S. government data showed a 53% increase in egg prices over the past year, the largest annual jump in two years. Cases of bird flu in recent months have exacerbated the issue, making eggs completely unavailable at some grocery stores. Three-quarters of Americans are very concerned over the cost of food and consumer goods, according to a Pew

  Health insurance companies are under increasing scrutiny for allegedly using artificial intelligence bots and algorithms to swiftly deny patients routine or lifesaving care — without a human actually reviewing their claims.
  The high-profile killing late last year of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has focused even more attention on so-called prior authorization, the process by which patients and doctors must ask health insurers to approve medical proc

  Such scenarios are one of the big hesitations for many people pondering the purchase of an EV.
