Too many wasted opportunities. Too many missed blocks at the line of scrimmage and tackles in the open field. The momentum–turning plays that the Rams executed during their three-game winning streak were noticeably absent on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins in a 23-15 defeat before 72,474 at SoFi Stadium. The Rams trailed from start to finish, falling behind 10-6 in the first half. The loss dropped the Rams’ record to 4-5 going into Sunday’s game against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium. The defeat was a buzzkill for a Rams team that had rebounded from a 1-4 start to defeat the Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks. On a night when former Rams star lineman Aaron Donald watched from a luxury box, the Rams got pressure on Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The Rams recorded three sacks, including one by rookie edge rusher Jared Verse that forced a fumble. But quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense failed to score any touchdowns against a Dolphins defense that featured former Rams star cornerback Jalen Ramsey. Joshua Karty’s five field goals were all the

Los Ángeles —  Una muchedumbre de jóvenes, mayoritariamente mujeres, con pancartas y carteles en mano se tomaron el lunes algunas calles de Los Ángeles. Levantaron sus voces en protesta por la amenaza de deportaciones masivas que ha anunciado el presidente electo, Donald Trump, a partir del 20 de enero de 2025 cuando regrese a la Casa Blanca. “Sí, se puede”, gritaban al unísono al salir de la Plaza Olvera, en dirección al sur sobre la calle Los Ángeles. Con sus dos hijas, Yolanda Velásquez llegó desde temprano. Ella participó en la ceremonia ancestral realizada antes de que la marcha iniciara. Esta mujer, de 30 años, sería afectada si Trump implementa su plan de deportaciones masivas. Ella tiene un estatus migratorio irregular. “Es algo muy triste para mí”, dijo la inmigrante originaria de Tijuana, México, que llegó a Estados Unidos cuando tenía un año de edad. “Vine a representar a las mujeres y a la gente sin documentos”, indicó Velásquez, junto a sus dos hijas: Lidia, de 3 años y Anabelle, de 10.

Democrat George Whitesides, a former NASA chief of staff and a first-time candidate, will represent northern Los Angeles County in Congress next year after defeating Republican Rep. Mike Garcia in one of the nation’s most fiercely contested House races. Garcia conceded defeat in a statement released Monday evening. “In Congress, you can count on me to fight to create more good local jobs, lower everyday costs, build safe communities, protect Social Security and Medicare, and protect reproductive freedom,” Whitesides said in a statement posted on social media. Whitesides’ narrow victory is a bright spot for Democrats amid a decisive rightward shift in American politics, with voters sending President-elect Donald Trump back to the White House and Republicans seizing control of the U.S. Senate from Democrats. Republicans appear likely to retain control of the House of Representatives, but that remains unclear and Democrats could have a long-shot path to taking power. “I will always seek to serve this wonderful nation in any capacity and remain at her disposal for the maintenance of her splendor, the security of her people and the protection of her future,” Garcia

A Utah man, who was a firefighter and paramedic, died after falling several feet on a hiking trail on Saturday, according to authorities. Aaron White, 39, was hiking on the Big Horn Canyon trail in the Escalante area with two other people when he fell about 30 to 50 feet, the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office told Nexstar’s KTVX. Wade Matthews, a public information officer for the sheriff’s office, said another hiking group arrived at the scene after White’s friends called out for help. However, White succumbed to his injuries and was taken to the medical examiner’s office. An investigation into the incident is ongoing. Family searching for at-risk missing man, 28, in Southern California White was a member of the Provo Fire & Rescue Department, which announced his death on its official Facebook page, calling him “a valuable member of our team.” “His positive attitude and infectious smile were a daily inspiration,” the social media post read. “His absence will be keenly felt. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his friends and family during this difficult time.” Man, woman allegedly steal $2.1M in jobless benefits in

Authorities with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department are asking for the public’s help in locating an at-risk missing man who was last seen in the city of Cerritos.   David Andrew Arellano, 28, was last seen on Nov. 10 at around 8 a.m. on the 13000 block of Cantrece Lane, according to an LASD missing persons bulletin.   The 28-year-old is described as a Hispanic male standing 5 foot 10 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He has a Saint Jude tattoo on his left arm.   He was last seen wearing a black jacket, blue jeans and black shoes, officials said.   “Mr. Arellano suffers from schizophrenia and requires medication,” the release noted. “His family is concerned for his well-being and asking for the public’s help.”   David Andrew Arellano, 28.

The so-called “five little queens” will have to make some room. The backers of a ballot measure to expand the L.A. County Board of Supervisors claimed victory Monday afternoon following days of returns showing voters closely divided on whether to approve the massive overhaul of the county government’s structure. The measure, which also includes a proposal to elect a chief executive and create an independent ethics commission, had a narrow but stable lead, securing just over 51% of votes, with some ballots still left to be counted. “The people of Los Angeles County have made history in passing Measure G,” said Supervisor Lindsey Horvath, who co-authored the measure with Supervisor Janice Hahn, in a statement. “We will now have the ability to fix what is broken.” Voters have repeatedly rejected ballot measures aimed at expanding the Board of Supervisors, who are nicknamed the “five little queens” — or kings, when they are men — for the immense power they hold over the welfare of the county’s 10 million constituents. But this time, the proposal, combined with the other restructuring measures, won over a slim majority

L.A. Unified is reversing a controversial decision to relax the admissions requirements for some of its most rigorous academic programs after furious debate over how to ensure equitable access to all while maintaining the academic standards in the popular initiatives for highly gifted students. Many parents — who lashed out at the district during a town hall meeting late last week — said administrators bungled the rollout of the new admissions policy, which was confusing, did not include their input, caught them by surprise and stirred deep concerns about the future direction of the popular honors programs. In previous years, students applying to the Individualized Honors Program at Walter Reed Middle School in Studio City and Mark Twain Middle School in Venice submitted applications and teacher recommendations and were required to take an eligibility exam — all to show they were prepared for fast-paced studies well beyond their grade level. For the 2025-26 school year, the district tried to do away with special applications, recommendations and placement exams. Instead, it was going to require just one academic criterion — that all applicants be gifted or

Veteran journalist Chris Wallace is exiting CNN three years after joining from Fox News. “Chris Wallace is one of the most respected political journalists in the news business with a unique track record across radio, print, broadcast television, cable television and streaming,” CNN Chairman and Chief Executive Mark Thompson said in a statement Monday. “We want to thank him for the dedication and wisdom he’s brought to all his work at CNN and to wish him the very best for future.” Wallace, 77, is the first and likely not last big-name TV news talent to leave in the coming months. Major cost-cutting is expected across media organizations following the 2024 presidential election. Wallace was expected to be a cost-cutting target. He was poached from Fox News in late 2021 at a salary said to be in the range of $8 million a year. His two weekend programs, “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace?” and “The Chris Wallace Show,” are modest performers in the ratings for the network. Former CNN President Jeff Zucker originally hired Wallace to work at CNN+, the company’s initial attempt at a streaming

For weeks, an elderly woman complained to her family about the strange knocking sounds coming from beneath her El Sereno home late at night. On Thursday, police made a terrifying discovery. The noises were no stray opossum or raccoon but a man — reportedly naked and, authorities said, living in the crawl space underneath the woman’s home. The noises “were usually late at night, so we just chalked it up to animals being in the house,” the woman’s son-in-law Ricardo Silva told NBC News. But on Thursday, the sounds were much louder than usual, prompting the family of the 93-year-old woman to phone the police, he said. The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at the 3600 block of Locke Avenue around 10:30 p.m. Thursday and discovered the man underneath the house, according to an LAPD spokesperson. The man refused to emerge from his underground dwelling, and officers called in a SWAT team to assist with the arrest, the spokesperson said. An hours-long standoff ensued before the man was taken into custody on suspicion of trespassing, he said. Police remained on scene until

With some celebrations ranging from flag-raising ceremonies to military vehicle displays, communities across Southern California found ways to honor servicemen and women this Veterans Day. Sierra Vista Middle School in Covina hosted the annual Field of Valor event, planting 26 historical flags and 2,001 U.S. flags in its field to honor troops and veterans. Every year, the nonprofit Field of Valor holds this event to invite community members of all ages to come and learn about the importance of veterans to society. “In 2011, the Pentagon predicted that 20% of veterans would be homeless,” said Linda Logan, the head of Fields of Valor. “I just sat there and said, ‘This is not acceptable, we have to find a way to help them.’” Now, more than a decade later, Logan’s nonprofit organization works with the Veterans Administration to help veterans stay housed and off the streets.  To date, more than 560 veterans have received the help they need. In Rancho Cucamonga, dozens gathered for a Veterans Day celebration and ceremony at Central Park. “It brought tears to my eyes,” Marine Corps veteran Keith Kuba told KTLA’s

Officials with LA Galaxy announced on Monday that the Major League Soccer organization donated $10,000 to the American Redcross, with a specific focus on supporting Ventura County residents impacted by the devastating Mountain Fire.   The blaze, which has destroyed more than 130 homes, was first reported just before 9 a.m. Nov. 6 in the 7900 block of Balcom Canyon Road near Bradley Road between the communities of Moorpark and Somis, north of the 118 Freeway.    Wind-driven flames quickly jumped the freeway and the blaze tore through the Camarillo Heights neighborhood, prompting thousands to evacuate.    As of Cal Fire’s most recent update, the blaze has charred 20,630 acres and stands at 36% containment.   LA Galaxy badge (Photo by AMA/Corbis via Getty Images) “In times of crisis, it is our collective responsibility to come together and support those who are affected,” Tom Braun, President of Business Operations and Chief Operating Officer of the LA Galaxy, said in a news release. “We are proud to contribute to the fire relief efforts and stand with the communities impacted by these devastating fires.

Marco Rubio of Florida as his nominee for secretary of state, though the pick is not a done deal, two sources familiar with the talks tell CBS News.  The expected nomination represents a long road from the time Trump and the Florida senator were rivals in the 2016 Republican primaries, when Trump referred to Rubio as “Little Marco” and Rubio made insinuations about Trump’s manhood in a presidential debate. The two have since repaired the relationship, and Rubio campaigned with the former president this year.  The New York Times first reported that Trump appears to be settled on Rubio for the post.

Bronny James was again assigned by the Lakers to their NBA G League affiliate Monday, one day after going scoreless in the final 1 minute, 40 seconds of the Lakers’ 123-103 victory over the Toronto Raptors. James, the oldest son of NBA career scoring leader LeBron James, has scored four points in six games with the Lakers, making 1 of 6 shots, missing all four of his 3-point attempts, and making both his free throws. He did not attempt a shot or free throw Sunday. The Lakers also assigned guard Jalen Hood-Schifino and forward Maxwell Lewis to the South Bay Lakers on Monday. Bronny James scored 6 points in his NBA G League debut Saturday, helping the South Bay Lakers to a 110-96 victory over the Salt Lake City Stars in the season opener for both teams at the UCLA Health Training Center in El Segundo. The 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound guard made 2 of 9 shots, including missing all four of his 3-point shots, made his only free throw, which was worth 2 points under an experimental G League rule, and had four assists in 31:21

A 16-year-old boy was fatally shot in the parking lot of an Anaheim park, according to the Anaheim Police Department. Police received reports around 8:30 p.m. Sunday regarding a teenager rushed to the Anaheim Regional Medical Center by friends, where he died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, Sgt.

Nov. 11, 2024 5:22 PM PT A cause of death has been revealed for Iron Maiden alum Paul Di’Anno, who died last month at age 66. At the time of Di’Anno’s death, his longtime label, Conquest Music, said he had been dealing with “several health issues” without offering further details. Representatives for Di’Anno said Monday they had since received permission from the singer’s family to reveal the results of his autopsy. “His sisters Cheryl and Michelle confirmed the following: ‘Basically he had a tear in the sac around the heart and blood has filled inside it from the main aorta artery and that has caused the heart to stop,’ ” the Facebook statement said. “Paul’s death was instantaneous and hopefully painless. May he rest in peace.” Accompanying the post was a photo of Di’Anno’s friends and family, who over the weekend hosted a show in his honor at the Underworld Camden, a live-music venue in London: “With a magnificent musical set, his musical colleagues said a worthy farewell to their friend.” Di’Anno died Oct. 21 at his home in Salisbury, England.

It’s hard to believe that more than 80% of the year has passed, and the holiday season is fast approaching. But for residents of California’s “best” Christmas town, the real show is just beginning. Solvang, the little Denmark-inspired hideaway in the Santa Ynez Valley in Southern California wine country, is gearing up for its annual Julefest — a monthlong celebration of the winter holidays.

Trump begins to fill Cabinet Trump begins to fill Cabinet positions as he prepares for a second term 04:03 Washington — President-elect Donald Trump is expected to name Rep. Michael Waltz, a Florida Republican, as his national security adviser, two sources familiar with the plans confirmed to CBS News.  The national security adviser is a top aide to the president who plays a major role in foreign and national security policy decision-making. The role does not require Senate confirmation.  Waltz, a Green Beret veteran who served multiple combat tours in Afghanistan, the Middle East and Africa, was elected to Congress in 2018, replacing Ron DeSantis who had been elected Florida’s governor.  The Wall Street Journal was first to report that Trump had selected Waltz.  Waltz, a China hawk, serves on the House China Task Force that seeks to develop solutions to address the Chinese Communist Party’s influence.  He has also been skeptical of giving more aid to Ukraine as it fights Russia’s invasion. He has said that the U.S. has “leverage” over both Ukraine and Russia to get them to the table to negotiate an

By Charlie D’Agata, Nicole Cutrona, Mary Walsh Updated on: November 11, 2024 / 8:06 PM EST / CBS News Navy submarine designed with women in mind A look at a Navy submarine designed with women in mind 03:56 The USS New Jersey made waves when it was commissioned — the first submarine in the U.S. Navy’s fleet designed specifically with women in mind. It is Machinist Mate Kianna Gonzalez’s first submarine.  “I am the first female on this boat to qualify as an engine room supervisor,” she told CBS News. She is looking forward to a promotion, noting she’s next in line to be placed in charge of her division. The Navy lifted the ban on women on submarines back in 2010, retrofitting bathrooms and sleeping quarters to accommodate them. The New Jersey’s crew, however, is historic. “I have about 40 women on board, which, there’s no other fast attack submarine with that volume of women part of the crew,” said Steven Halle, the commanding officer of the ship’s 135 crew members. He said it feels “great” to be heading up a historic crew, noting
