Less than a week after Apple TV+ dropped the final episode of "Ted Lasso," the streamer is getting fans' hopes up. On Tuesday morning, Apple TV+ tweeted a photo of characters Coach Beard, Roy Kent and Nathan played by Brendan Hunt, Brett Goldstein and Nick Mohammed.

By Brendan Farrington | Associated PressTALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Saying gender identity is real, a federal judge temporarily blocked portions of a new Florida law that bans transgender minors from receiving puberty blockers, ruling Tuesday that the state has no rational basis for denying patients treatment.Judge Robert Hinkle issued a preliminary injunction, saying three transgender children can continue receiving treatment. The lawsuit challenges the law Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed shortly before he announced a run for president.“The elephant in the room should be noted at the outset. Gender identity is real. The record makes this clear,” Hinkle said, adding that even a witness for the state agreed.Transgender medical treatment for minors is increasingly under attack in many states and has been subject to restrictions or outright bans. But it has been available in the United States for more than a decade and is endorsed by major medical associations.Hinkle’s ru...

California ‘bounty hunters’ are earning money for voter signatures. Now, there’s a backlash

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 00:01:59 GMT

By Nadia Lopez | BloombergIt took less than 90 days for the oil and gas lobby to blow up one of Gavin Newsom’s major achievements.The California governor signed a bill to great fanfare in September to block new oil and gas wells within 3,200 feet of homes, schools and hospitals, cementing an effort that took decades for environmentalists to push through against business and union interests.But that’s when the California Independent Petroleum Association went to work. Representing 300 oil and gas producers, the organization quickly raised $21 million to recruit people to collect signatures — at shopping malls, farmers’ markets and grocery stores — and get enough support to put the issue to voters.The petitioners obtained 687,058 valid names, surpassing the threshold needed to put Senate Bill 1137 to a referendum in 2024 and placing Newsom’s new law on hold. The price tag for the industry: about $20 per signature.Now that effort is sparking backlash, not only from Newsom, a Democrat w...

FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) - With warmer temperatures moving into the Central Valley, it is essential to keep your pets safe from the heat - and a hot car is somewhere they can get especially hot.According to a state law passed in 2016, a person can not leave or confine an animal in "any unattended motor vehicle under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal."California penal code 597.7 says endangering conditions include heat, cold, lack of ventilation, lack of food or water, or “other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal.” Can a person take matters into their own hands if they see a pet trapped inside a hot car?
