    Highlights from Sunday’s Rams practice
    A brief look at the Rams’ training-camp practice on Sunday:
    BIG MOMENT
    After a rough practice Saturday, the Rams’ passing game bounced back Sunday, and the flashiest moment came when fullback Sam Rogers caught a short pass over the middle, put a move on reserve linebacker Josh Forrest and ran for a long touchdown. Rogers is a 2017 sixth-round draft pick out of Virginia Tech.
    INJURY REPORT
    There were no additions or removals when it came to the Rams’ injury list. Running back La

    La Habra’s Acen Jimenez contributing in multiple ways to team’s success
    La Habra senior Acen Jimenez continues to impress with his scoring, which includes 36 points in a win over Canyon in a Crestview League boys basketball game last week.
    What makes him even more valuable, said La Habra coach Aaron Riekenberg, is Jimenez’s contribution to the Highlanders’ matchup zone defense. The 6-foot-1 senior point guard has had to play like a bigger player because of the season-ending knee injury to 6-4 teammate Javi Nash.
    “For the past three years Acen has b

    Swanson: Rams have the resolve to win it all
    The Rams are not a perfect football team. They haven’t been consistent. They have strengths – and weaknesses. They’ve let games get away and they’ve just gotten by.
    Absolutely, they can win the Super Bowl.
    This Rams’ season – next up: Sunday’s NFC title game against the Seahawks in Seattle – isn’t a lesson in steamrolling, it’s a clinic on not rolling over.

    By MARY CLARE JALONICK
    WASHINGTON (AP) — There is broad bipartisan support in the House and Senate for reviving federal health care subsidies that expired at the beginning of the year. But long-standing disagreements over abortion coverage are threatening to block any compromise and leave millions of Americans with higher premiums.

    California is home to more billionaires than any other state, and they already shoulder a disproportionate share of the state tax burden. Yet California is considering a ballot initiative based on the familiar fantasy that the state’s fiscal problems and policy ambitions can be solved by further taxing the rich. The proposed 2026 ballot initiative would go further than anything previously attempted, imposing a one-time wealth tax on California residents that would confiscate 5% of their ne

    (Bloomberg) — Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell plans to attend Wednesday’s Supreme Court hearing over the attempted dismissal of Fed Governor Lisa Cook by President Donald Trump, according to a person familiar with the situation.
    The high court in October refused to allow Trump to immediately oust Cook while she sues to keep her job. That order meant Cook can remain in her position, at least until the justices rule after hearing oral arguments in the case this week.

    Understandably, very few citizens of California follow closely the state budget process which, for the 2026-27 fiscal year, just kicked off with the release of the Governor’s proposal. Of course, part of that may be due to the complexity of public finance issues, but the reality is that since 2010 with the passage of Proposition 25, the state has no discernable annual spending plan.
    Technically, the timing of passing a budget hasn’t changed. It’s merely that the deadlines in th

    Recipe: Glazed salmon fillets and skin-on acorn squash team up deliciously
    A sweet, gingery glaze accents salmon fillets and their sidekick, skin-on sliced acorn squash.

Then it is set aside for a few minutes to thicken. Easy.
