U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee may be trailing in the race for the U.S. Senate seat once held by Dianne Feinstein, but on Monday, she picked up an endorsement that could provide some momentum as she chases the frontrunner, U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff. Burbank Mayor Konstantine Anthony, who withdrew his endorsement of Schiff in October over the congressman's support of Israel in its ongoing war against Hamas, switched allegiances and instead backed Lee, "citing her enduring pro-peace foreign policy record," Lee's office said in a news release.Lee, the only member of Congress who voted against issuing a "blank check for endless war" in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, backs a cease-fire in the region, something Anthony also supports.“[Schiff’s] silence on a cease-fire is what really drew me to consider” no longer backing him, Anthony told The Washington Post. “And the continued silence is why I endorsed Barbara Lee.” Burbank mayor withdraws endorsement of Schiff over Israel-Hamas war While Schiff re...

Niles: Lack of new attractions coming to California theme parks in 2024 is COVID’s legacy

Published Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:58:02 GMT

Next year is shaping up to be an unusual one for California theme parks and their fans. It also shows that — nearly four years after its start — the theme park industry continues to feel the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.The spring and summer of 2024 promise the thinnest line-up of major new rides at California theme parks in more than a decade.
