By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO, HALELUYA HADERO and DEE-ANN DURBIN
NEW YORK — TikTok and its bite-sized videos arrived in the United States as a global version of the Chinese app Douyin.

Gov. Newsom drops anti-crime measure days after announcing it

In a stunning, last-minute reversal, Gov. Gavin Newsom is scrapping the anti-crime measure he and Democratic legislative leaders just announced. It had been designed to compete with one backed by Republicans and prosecutors that is already headed for voters in November.
In a statement, the governor said Democrats “are unable to meet the ballot deadline to secure necessary amendments to ensure this measure’s success and we will be withdrawing it from consideration.”

Huntington Beach crafting charter amendment that would leave housing plans up to voters

Huntington Beach is moving to ask voters this November to approve a new law that would leave future housing development plans up to residents.
The City Council on Tuesday, July 2 directed staff to craft a charter amendment ballot initiative that would require city-initiated zoning changes to get voter approval. Critics said it would put the city at even higher risk of financial penalties from the state for refusing to allow more housing to be built.
The proposal, from Mayor Gracey Van Der Mark a

Ducks acquire forward Robby Fabbri from Detroit

The Ducks have acquired forward Robby Fabbri and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick from the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for prospect goalie Gage Alexander, both clubs confirmed Wednesday.
Fabbri, 28, is in the final year of his contract and will earn $4 million against the cap. The versatile attacker compiled 18 goals and 32 points in 68 games with Detroit last season, his ninth NHL campaign and fourth full season with the Red Wings.
That tied his career high in goals, set as a rookie in 2015-16

Orange County’s House Democrats weigh in on President Biden amid mounting re-election speculation

Orange County’s House Democrats still support President Joe Biden as he faces mounting pressure over his White House bid.
But they’re stopping just short of unequivocally saying if they believe Biden should remain in the race as questions over whether the president could — or should — continue to run for re-election.
Instead, three congressional Democrats whose districts include Orange County are pointing to former President Donald Trump. The presumptive GOP nominee, too,

Ducks sign winger Carson Meyer to a 1-year contract

The Ducks signed winger Carson Meyer, the team announced Wednesday in a news release.
Agreeing to a two-way deal, Meyer, 26, is the second player to sign with the Ducks in the past two days after the team added Jansen Harkins on Tuesday.
Like Harkins, whom the Ducks added on a one-way deal, Meyer split time between the AHL and NHL last season and in recent campaigns, all as part of the Columbus Blue Jackets organization. Furthermore, competitiveness and an indefatigable motor are the major draws

An orb of light shoots our way, heading toward our toes.
Kick it!
Contact made, it rockets back in the other direction, where a team of four returns fire.

Ban on schools’ gender notification policies heads to Gov. Newsom. Will he sign it?

The battle over trans rights has mostly played out at school boards, but is now erupting in Sacramento as lawmakers seek to limit local authority on the issue.
Following a raucous, emotional hearing last week in the Assembly, legislators sent a bill, AB 1955, to Gov. Gavin Newsom that would stop school districts from notifying parents if a student starts using different pronouns or otherwise identifies as a gender other than what’s on school records.
Newsom has 12 days from receiving a bil

By Anna Helhoski | NerdWallet
Gas prices could be about to get cheaper, just in time for summer road travel, as about 42 million gallons of gasoline makes its way into the fuel market.
In May, the Biden administration announced that the one million barrels of gasoline in the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve were up for sale. Contracts were awarded to five companies, and barrels were sold at an average of $2.34 per gallon. The gasoline was released to the contracted companies as of June 30.

WASHINGTON — White House chief of staff Jeff Zients urged people during an all-staff meeting on Wednesday to tune out the “noise” and focus on the task of governing as senior aides scramble to contain the political fallout from President Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
Even as Zients acknowledged that the days since the Atlanta matchup between Biden and Republican Donald Trump have been challenging, the chief of staff stressed to White Ho

Travel: What I’ve seen on 33 cruises I’ve taken since the pandemic

An argument can be made that people in general have become more needy, pushy and demanding than before COVID — that politeness and courtesy seem to be waning in what has become a “me-first” society.
Well, there’s no debating that fact for this guy, not after what I’ve encountered on 33 cruises since the 15-month industry shutdown due to the pandemic only three years ago. That’s not to say everyone was Mister Rogers or Miss Manners on the 32 cruises I took befo

Deadly Hurricane Beryl brings storm surge, flash flooding to Jamaica as Category 4 storm

Hurricane Beryl could bring life-threatening storm surge from six to nine f

Analysis: Republicans are downplaying abortion, but it keeps coming up

Julie Rovner | (TNS) KFF Health News
For generations, the GOP campaigned on eliminating the right to an abortion in the United States. Now, torn between a base that wants more restrictions on reproductive health care and a moderate majority that does not, it seems many Republicans would rather take an off-ramp than a victory lap.
And yet, they just can’t escape talking about it.

Trump’s immunity ruling sets up ‘mini trial’ before election

Erik Larson | Bloomberg News (TNS)
The U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that presidents have some immunity from criminal charges over official conduct sets up a high-stakes “mini trial” later this summer over Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
The timing of such a hearing will be consequential, with Trump’s campaign to return to the White House reaching a fever pitch and his rematch against President Joe Biden in the background. It will likely be the o

After 60 years of Rolling Stones concerts in Southern California, the fans tell all

Almost exactly 49 years ago, Jim McGarry got his first chance to see the Rolling Stones.
For exactly one song.
It was July 9, 1975, and he and a Stones-loving buddy had driven from San Bernardino to the Forum in Inglewood to see their rock ‘n’ roll heroes.
Inside a flask shaped like a pair of binoculars, they smuggled whiskey in for the first of five nights at the arena. Upon discovering their tickets were in the nosebleed seats, they decided to sneak down to the front of the floor s
