  By TIM SULLIVAN
  Barely an hour after the first U.S. and Israeli missiles struck Iran, President Donald Trump made clear he hoped for regime change. “Now is the time to seize control of your destiny,” he told the Iranian people in a video. “This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass.”
  Doesn’t sound complicated. After all, with Iran’s fundamentally unpopular government weakened by fierce airstrikes, some of its top leaders dead or missing and Washington s

  The Kings put a merciful and overdue end to the Jim Hiller era, relieving the 30th coach in franchise history of his duties on Sunday and promoting assistant D.J. Smith to interim head coach.
  Additionally, former Kings defenseman Matt Greene, who had been working in player development, will move behind the bench as an assistant coach. He will assuredly take Smith’s role working with the Kings’ blue-liners.

  Steyer is a billionaire environmentalist with a long history of political activity. In 2020, he sought the Democratic presidential nomination. He spent millions during President Trump’s first term on an ad campaign to have Trump impeached. As a citizen he has held fundraisers for Democratic candidates such as President Obama and Hilary Clinton and championed numerous environmental p

• Is it time to cut electric company profits to ease consumer bills?

  Should state regulators shrink your electric company’s profits? And would that really lower our appalling, outrageous, abominable electric bills?
  Consumer advocates have been pushing this idea for years, and the California Public Utility Commission went so far as to make wee tiny downward adjustments in December. But Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris, D-Irvine — and most everyone we know who actually uses the outlets in their homes — thinks that probably did not go quite far

  When J.M.

  Dear Mr. President,
  As I wrote last week, Trump 2.0 has had many big successes. I supported you in 2024, I want you to succeed. You can complete your second term as a transformational American president. But with respect, I recommend the following course corrections to help make that happen.
  America doesn’t have a trade problem, we have a China problem. Since you came down that escalator in 2015, you have demolished the Washington consensus that it was OK for predatory Chinese companies an
