A 525-pound bear found shelter under a home in Altadena. 🏡🐻

Utility workers stumbled upon it while restoring power.

It took 8 people and 24 hours to remove it.

The bear was safely trapped and released into the Angeles National Forest.

The crawl space? Now officially bear-proof.

IMPORTANT

The National Weather Service says that the winds in the LA area from Tuesday through Wednesday necessitate a designation of a “Particularly Dangerous Situation.”

This is a very specific designation the National Weather Service uses for weather events that pose an especially serious threat to life and property.

To illustrate how serious this designation is, according to The New York Times, the National Weather Service has only issued this designation for the LA area a total of five times…in history.

The last time was early last week, before the Palisades and Eaton fires.

We’re launching a new, simple intake system to report price gouging — call @MyLA311 to report illegally hiked rents and prices.

We have no tolerance for it.

Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, a four-star Marine general, has given America an unprecedented warning:

Trump is unhinged and unstable—and he is out for unchecked power.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Libertarians: if this is not a five-alarm fire for you then what is?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Obama: If Trump does not care if mob might attack his own VP, do you think he cares about you? Pennsylvania, we do not need four more years of that. We don't need four more years of arrogance and bumbling and bluster and division. America's ready to turn the page.

Donald Trump is responsible for the appalling state of abortion rights in America. And he’s ready to make it even more horrifying. But we have the power to stop him this November. And we must use it.

BREAKING: Watch the exact moment Kerry Kennedy announces the entire Kennedy family will be supporting President Biden, not RFK Jr. Retweet so all Americans see.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking.

Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women.

CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Donald Trump & MAGA Republicans are scrambling to distance themselves from the Alabama Supreme Court's decision.

Trump can’t rewrite history with empty words.

The only reason IVF treatment is at risk is because Trump got his wish for his extremist Supreme Court to overturn Roe.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Donald Trump supports a national abortion ban.

If Trump has his way, he'll gut abortion care in every state across the country.

President @JoeBiden and I will do everything in our power to stop him and restore women's reproductive freedom.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

Think about it: ~65,000 women were raped AND found out their rapist got them pregnant AND were denied access to abortions. How many traumas do women have to face before we say, once and for all, NO MORE? Vote Democratic in November so we can pass reproductive freedom nationwide.

[Democratic Wins Media @DemocraticWins]

BREAKING: The media is finally giving President Biden the credit he deserves. Retweet to ensure the whole country knows President Biden is delivering a booming economy.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Together, for three years, our Administration has worked hard to deliver for communities across our nation.

But for all we’ve done, the real heroes of this story are you, the American people.

Hamas could have released little Kfir Bibas any day after he was cruelly abducted on October 7. It’s had three hostage release days. It’s choosing to keep this little baby hostage.

Hamas is evil.
Evil must be eradicated.
Hamas will be eradicated.

Positive news and a pinch of Jewish humor.
Returnees from Gaza have confirmed that historian Alex Danzig, held by #Hamas, is alive, fairly well, and even giving lectures to fellow hostages.
Alex’s son in law, this morning on Israeli radio: “Well, at least he now has a captive audience”.
