Breaking: The Trump administration has rejected California’s request for disaster relief funds aimed at cleaning up the damage from six recent fires across the state. latimes.com/california/sto…

It would also activate federal programs led by FEMA.
latimes.com/california/sto…
President Trump has threatened to withhold federal dollars in aid before, including in 2019 unless state officials “get their act together, which is unlikely.”

With 19 days to go before the Nov. 3 election, about 18.4 million Americans had mailed in ballots or cast votes in person by the end of the day Thursday.

Drones have turned the hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan from a bloody, bare-knuckled ground fight waged with infantry and Soviet-era ordnance into a deadly game of hide-and-seek against an all-too-patient — and often unseen — airborne enemy. latimes.com/world-nation/s…
Hundreds have now died in more than two weeks of ferocious clashes over Nagorno-Karabakh, the ethnic Armenian enclave internationally recognized as belonging to Azerbaijan but ruled by an Armenia-backed separatist government.latimes.com/world-nation/s…
The onslaught from above marks a new and dangerous escalation in the conflict.

Shia LaBeouf is directing a play about COVID-19.

What was it like on set? Well, there was a lot of yelling and chaos. Then, we had to leave.

This story is a journey 😬 😬👇👇
latimes.com/entertainment-…
The free 45-minute play, “5711 Avalon" — which audience members will watch from inside their parked cars with audio through the radio — documents a day in the life of a testing center. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
Events are based on interviews conducted with real front-line workers.

As they rehearse, LaBeouf is often yelling, gripping a plastic coffee cup. “It’s not realistic, it’s not real!” he shrieks. “Come on! It’s not working!”
