“The law at issue here runs afoul of … First Amendment principles,” U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Domenico wrote in this week’s decision. “Because it does, the State must come forward with a compelling interest of the highest order to maintain the law. It has not even attempted to do so.”Six months ago I predicted Senate Bill 23-190, which restricts constitutionally protected practice and speech, would be struck down. The law bans medical professionals from providing women abortion pill reversal care and prevents clinics and crisis pregnancy centers from informing women about their services.Domenico’s ruling is a temporary injunction against state enforcement of the law against plaintiffs and those acting in concert with them while the full case is being decided in federal court. For the reasons stated in Domenico’s 45-page decision, I now predict that the plaintiffs will ultimately prevail in asserting their rights to provide information and medical care to the women they serve....Bass focuses on 'customer experience of Angelenos' with new executive directive

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is leading the charge to improve city services for residents.On Monday, Bass signed Executive Directive 5, which intends to "improve the customer experience of Angelenos requesting city services like graffiti removal, pothole repair, and bulky item pick-up by decreasing wait times, enhancing the quality of the service and better communicating the result of the operation," her office said in an announcement. To demonstrate the types of improved services Angelenos can expect, Bass visited a Boyle Heights home for the pickup of a bulky item, the "most common city service request," according to Crosstown LA."Haul a mattress or old desk out to the curb, call 311, and sanitation crews will usually remove it on the next regularly scheduled trash day, for no fee (beyond taxes already paid)," the outlet explained.On Monday, Bass said that "we need to upgrade our services," both in the way residents experience them and in outcomes.

Or perhaps you’d like to plan a road trip – the kind that whisks you away from the daily grind and takes you whooshing down wide desert roads to a destination that seems to exist out of time, a place where you won’t be bothered because cell service is spotty, and you’re too awed by nature to answer a call anyway.This is the trip for you.Mitchell Caverns is a gem of the California State Parks system, home to magnificent limestone caves and unique wildlife.
