  ANAHEIM — The Angels have reportedly shipped out the second of their three most attractive impending free agents, with just one day left before the trading deadline.
  The Angels have agreed to send Jason Castro the Padres, according to multiple reports. It was unclear yet who the Angels would get back, although the return isn’t likely to be significant because Castro is a one-month rental.
  On Friday, the Angels traded Tommy La Stella to the Oakland A’s for Franklin Barreto.

  The rolling electrical blackouts that hit California in mid-August were — or should have been — a wakeup call about power supply deficits that have been building for years.
  Simply put, state political leaders have committed California to phasing out nuclear- and hydrocarbon-powered generation in favor of “renewables — primarily solar panel and windmills — in the name of battling climate change, but have failed to ensure we have enough juice to meet demands during th

  WASHINGTON — During its search for a new postmaster general, the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors was presented with 53 candidates screened by an outside company. Not on the list: Louis DeJoy, who ultimately got the job.
  Instead, in what Democrats call a breach of protocol and blatant cronyism, DeJoy’s name was added as a contender by the board member leading the search, John Barger. He was acting on behalf of the board’s chairman, Robert “Mike” Duncan, a form

• After a trying week and a Lakers series win, LeBron James pulls back from the brink

  LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Did LeBron James really think about leaving the bubble?
  The Lakers star, about 36 hours removed from helping secure a return to NBA play and about 40 minutes removed from securing a first-round series win over the Portland Trail Blazers, seemed to turn the question over in his mind for a few seconds.

  James grabbed the back of his right leg after going down on a play. He angrily threw his gloves before entering the medical tent. He didn’t return to watch practice.

• One-party rule in California is backfiring

  30-08-2020 21:00
  
  According to U.S. Census Bureau projections, California will lose at least one seat in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2020 Census.
  This is because the total number of representatives is fixed at 435 and allocated to population. This zero-sum game means that states with decreasing or static population will lose, and states with growing population will win. Since statehood in 1850, California has consistently gained representation in Congress because it was the land of boundless oppor

  As a boy, Virgil Wounded Horse was small and weak, a target for bullies on the Rosebud Indian Reservation. Not anymore.
