Quick Glance: Chris Pratt draws criticism for demolishing historic 1950 LA home for expansive mansion

Chris Pratt has drawn criticism for demolishing a historic mid-century modern home to make room for a sprawling 15,000-sq-ft mansion, along with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger.

Designed by architect Craig Ellwood and landscaped by Garrett Eckbo, the property was previously owned by Hilda Rolfe, widow of Sam Rolfe, co-creator of The Man from Uncle.

The original home and its grounds were cleared to make space for a modern farmhouse-style residence, despite being potentially historic, leading to calls for preservation that went unheeded.

The destruction of the Zimmerman house was lamented by various organizations, highlighting the ongoing clash between preserving architectural heritage and new construction trends in the real estate market.

Gavin Newsom targets Republican abortion policies with plan to help Arizonans, ads in Alabama

sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article287884335.html

Quick Glance: Newsom Proposes Law to Aid Arizonans in Getting Abortions in California

California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced plans to introduce legislation to assist Arizonans in obtaining abortions in his state following a recent decision by the Arizona Supreme Court allowing a near-total abortion ban from 1864 to take effect.

The emergency legislation aims to expedite the licenses of Arizona abortion providers to treat patients in California and will be presented this week through the legislature's women's caucus.

Newsom emphasized the importance of a prompt response to Republican-led abortion restrictions, criticizing the GOP for their stance. His political action committee is funding ads against bills limiting abortion access.

Newsom intends to campaign on the abortion issue in swing states Arizona and Nevada to support a Democratic win in the presidential election and Senate control, calling President Trump a liar regarding his position on nationwide abortion bans.

Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic

A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'

Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.

Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

Quick Glance: Mother Throws 2 Kids on L.A. Freeway: One Child Killed

A woman who fatally stabbed her partner in their Los Angeles apartment and then threw her two children from a moving SUV onto the freeway, resulting in the death of her infant daughter, had a background in astrology. In a prior online post, she referred to the upcoming solar eclipse as 'the epitome of spiritual warfare'.

Los Angeles police suspect that Danielle Cherakiyah Johnson, 34, utilized the persona 'Ayoka' as an astrology influencer and musician on X in the days leading up to the incidents.

The altercation between Johnson and her partner, 29-year-old Jaelen Allen Chaney, occurred around 3:40 a.m. in their Woodland Hills apartment. Following the stabbing of Chaney, Johnson fled with her children, an 8-month-old girl, and her 9-year-old sister, in a Porsche Cayenne.

Subsequently, Johnson drove on Interstate 405 in Culver City and discarded her daughters from the moving SUV around 4:30 a.m. The infant was declared deceased on the road, while the older daughter, who witnessed the attack, sustained moderate injuries.

Los Angeles Dodgers Star Shohei Ohtani's Former Interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, Charged With Stealing $16 Million In Gambling Scandal

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.
