  I have a conflict.
  I don’t much like Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump’s new Education Secretary. I sued her once.
  She and her sleazy husband, Vince, owned a circus called World Wrestling Entertainment.
  When I did a silly ABC news video on how the matches are staged, one of their 280-pound actors beat me up. A wrestler said Vince told him to do it.
  But now, I like what Linda’s doing!

  It’s been something to see Democratic lawmakers, who are always enthusiastic about using the force of state government against business, against taxpayers, against charter schools, suddenly reluctant to wield their powers and eager to find nuance when it comes to matters of crime

  Like many during the COVID-19 pandemic, Paula Swift lost her job.
  Swift, from Seal Beach, had been working for a nonprofit advocating for children in foster care, specifically those who were aging out of the system. But budget cuts during the pandemic meant her job was eliminated.
