Our beloved weather/traffic producer Warren Hohmann has passed away. Here is how we saluted him this morning. Much more on the amazing contributions Warren made to so many of our lives on our Wednesday edition of our @KTLAMorningNews .

Absolutely correct @GavinNewsom. My daughter was murdered in Parkland. When @GovRonDeSantis had his chance to address gun policy, he made the state more dangerous. Thank you Governor Newsom for mentioning my daughter Jaime and for calling out Governor DeSantis.
Couldn’t have said it better myself @chiproytx.
As a reminder, in the 117th Congress the Democratic Majority:
✅Passed historic investments in critical infrastructure
✅Ushered in a domestic manufacturing boom
✅Created nearly 11 MILLION new jobs

SCOTUS can adopt all the new rules it wants to but unless they deal with recently exposed abuses by Justice Thomas, it will not restore public confidence in the Court. If they're serious about ethics, they'll take this situation seriously.
BREAKING: Florida Judge Aileen Cannon snaps at Special Counsel Jack Smith with a testy response to Smith’s filing warning Judge Cannon not to be “manipulated” by Donald Trump into delaying his trial until after the 2024 election.
Today, Judge Aileen Cannon fired back at Smith, shamelessly telling Smith that she’s didn’t even bother to read his filing because it is 19 words too long.
Judge Cannon told Special Counsel Smith that his filing “may not exceed 200 words” — and then put Smith on notice that if he submits any more filings that are too long for her liking, “it will be stricken without further notice."
Clearly, this is just another naked attempt by Judge Cannon to play dumb and help Trump delay his trial until after the election.
Instead of responding to the content of Smith’s filing, which attempted to warn her that Trump was doing everything in his power to delay Smith’s other trial in D.C., Judge Cannon decided to attack the messenger.
Her true intentions couldn’t by ANY clearer.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you think that Judge Aileen Cannon must be removed from Trump’s case — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a woke new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
.@SpeakerJohnson isn’t just a fascist conspirator to overturn elections. He isn’t just a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic bigot. He’s a dangerous religious extremist who doesn’t belong on a city council, much less Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Today is @SpeakerJohnson’s fifth day as Speaker.
In an effort to appease Trump and do his bidding in Congress, Mike Johnson supported the “expungement” of Trump's first impeachment.
Every NY Republican voted for him. New Yorkers deserve better.
White House spokesman Andrew Bates responds to the Republican Speaker:
"We absolutely reject the offensive accusation that gun crime is uniquely high in the United States because of Americans' 'hearts.' Gun crime is uniquely high in the United States because congressional Republicans have spent decades choosing the gun industry's lobbyists over the lives of innocent Americans."
Here’s an idea: Every journalist who interviews “Speaker” Mike Johnson must start by asking if he will admit Joe Biden won the 2020 election. If he refuses to answer, don’t continue to interview. Cut the interview right then & there. Fascists don’t deserve a national platform.
Here's the new Speaker of the House arguing that if women were forced to give birth there would be more “able-bodied workers" and the @GOP wouldn't cut Social Security.
Mike Johnson wants to criminalize abortions with prison sentences.
Remember the Congresswoman who yelled at the camera last night, telling the media to shut up when asking Mike Johnson about his efforts to overturn the election?
Well, her name is Virginia Foxx, and her Democratic opponent is @ChuckHubbardNC.
Republicans in Maine rejected a bill this year that would have required a waiting period for firearm purchases.
They seriously could not fathom waiting 72 hours to buy a gun.
Maine also does not…
- Ban assault weapons
- Require permits to carry a gun in public
- Require background checks on all gun sales
Our hearts are heavy tonight.
We need immediate action — we cannot sit around and wait for Congress.
We need to amend the Constitution to help prevent tragedies like this.
The only "freedom” the @GOP wants is the freedom to control.
Control your body.
Control your words.
Control your books.
and now... control your travel.
