No plea was entered this afternoon. Eileen Wang made her initial appearance and judge instructed counsel to contact court to schedule hearing for guilty plea.

She was ordered to refrain from any communication with the Chinese government, including consular officials in the U.S.

The Dems wins hardly reflected a unified party - Mamdani challenges the Dem establishment as much as Trump - but gave many on the left optimism that Trump & MAGA aren’t unstoppable and that their ability to resist isn’t just alive & well but gaining speed

Many of you have been watching our contract fight at the L.A. Times and asking how to help. Now's the time.

My first editor was fired from L.A. TV for telling her viewers she was gay. Sallie was a absolutist about the truth, and I had so many secrets when I met her at age 17. This Sallie's story of courage, and my story of well... doubt in shadow of AIDS https://t.co/2d4Gf4oTRv

-- The school district confirmed this and says it has surveillance footage (though they have not released it).
-- This has been reported by a litany of news agencies, not just the L.A. Times.
-- DHS has not denied this report.

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

Very odd especially considering -- as we reported last week -- the U.S. Attorney's office in L.A. has been struggling to get indictments in most of its 40 alleged protest violence/immigration raid interference cases. This was one of just 7 indictments they'd won. Story coming...

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

When he allegedly killed his ex's son, Brycson Gaddis had:
- an active warrant for his arrest
- absconded from electronic monitoring
- dodged a carjacking prosecution because an L.A. D.A. wasn't ready for a hearing.

Of the 700+ arrested in LA ICE raids, @latimes analysis of data found that 69% of those arrested during that period had no criminal conviction and 58% had never been charged with a crime. https://t.co/ymxT0BVYza

[James Queally @JamesQueallyLAT]

The numbers don't lie: Data shows most nabbed in L.A. raids were men with no criminal conviction, picked up off the street. Great work by @racheluranga https://t.co/DHOBCMER8G

Despite myriad challenges, downtown L.A. is staging a comeback by attracting a steady stream of new residents.
Downtown L.A. remains a vibrant and growing residential neighborhood with a population of 90,000 — about the size of Santa Monica. https://t.co/2qHOtqGFmb
