• Angels send down Chase Silseth after rough spring

  18-03-2025 20:05 via ocregister.com
  
  TEMPE, Ariz. — The Angels on Tuesday optioned right-hander Chase Silseth, which is no surprise considering he’d allowed 15 earned runs in 13 innings this spring.
  That officially leaves just right-hander Jack Kochanowicz and left-hander Reid Detmers in the race for the No. 5 starter job. Both have looked good this spring, so it’s possible the Angels keep one of them in the bullpen, as they did with José Soriano to start the season last year.

• Tom Campbell: SCOTUS tariff ruling offers a lesson on statutory limits

  22-02-2026 20:31 via ocregister.com
  
  Last Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court tariff decision was a workmanlike exercise of statutory analysis. The reaction from the administration was not. President Trump impugned the integrity and patriotism of the justices, claiming that “the court has been swayed by foreign interests.” Vice President Vance proclaimed, “This is lawlessness from the court, plain and simple,” a conclusion pronounced so soon after the court’s opinion was published as to suggest the vice

  TEMPE, Ariz. — A year ago, in his first spring training as a professional, Christian Moore thought he knew what it took to be a major leaguer.

• After 4 years of war by Russia in Ukraine, peace is still elusive despite a US push for a settlement

  22-02-2026 19:41 via ocregister.com
  
  By The Associated Press
  When Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine surpassed 1,418 days last month, it officially exceeded a historic milestone — the same span of time it took Moscow to defeat Nazi Germany in World War II.
  And unlike the Red Army that pushed all the way to Berlin eight decades ago in what it called the Great Patriotic War, Russia’s 4-year-old, all-out invasion of its neighbor is still struggling to fully capture Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland.

• Immigrant surge helped boost GOP states’ population, and they may gain US House seats as a result

  The millions of immigrants who have crossed the border with Mexico since 2020 could change the balance of political power in Congress — but in a way likely to boost Republican states that emphasize border security, at the expense of more welcoming Democratic states.
  That’s because many of the new immigrants joined state-to-state movers gravitating to the fast-growing conservative strongholds of Florida and Texas, boosting those states’ population

  I recently read that ants in the Eaton Fire burn areas are thriving because they had nested inside the trunks of fire-resilient live oak trees.
  So of course, when they needed a little change of scenery, they headed for my garden window.I would estimate that every ant in the greater Altadena area is well acquainted with the tiny cracks on the edges of the window that allow them entry. They take the cracks as welcome signs and come barreling in with their families on their backs.
