Youth poet laureate @TheAmandaGorman left CNN‘s Anderson Cooper speechless during their post-inauguration interview.

Story by @NardineSaad latimes.com/entertainment-…
The two had been discussing her inauguration poem.

She explained: “I am the daughter of Black writers. We are descended from Freedom Fighters who broke their chains and changed the world. They call me" latimes.com/entertainment-…
“We’ve seen over the past few years how the power of words has been violated and misappropriated. What I wanted to do is to kind of reclaim poetry as that site in which we can re-purify and re-sanctify," Gorman said. latimes.com/entertainment-…

As California increases COVID-19 vaccinations, supply issues are becoming a critical problem, and some counties say they are rapidly running out. latimes.com/california/sto…
County officials say they have most of the resources — large vaccine centers and personnel to run them — but lack the doses they need. Image
Those 65 and over are vying for appointments and have endured long lines to get their shots.

But officials warn that a shortage in supplies could delay how quickly the state is able to vaccinate older Californians before moving onto other groups. latimes.com/california/sto…

Prosecutors had accused Miami developer Robert Zangrillo of a costly and criminal effort to secure his daughter’s entry to USC.

A trial was scheduled for later this year on charges related to fraud, bribery and money laundering.

Then Trump pardoned him.
latimes.com/california/sto…
The fallout was swift.

latimes.com/california/sto…
The White House said the pardon was backed by several businesspeople, including L.A. developer Geoff Palmer, but also investor Thomas J. Barrack, a USC alumnus and a university trustee.

Barrack, a longtime friend of Trump, denied playing any role.latimes.com/california/sto…

The Trump administration left President Biden a dilemma in the California desert: a plan to remove protections from millions of acres of public lands and open vast areas to solar and wind farms.

@Sammy_Roth reports: latimes.com/business/story…
Biden’s team could easily block the Trump administration's proposed changes, which were slammed by conservationists as a last-gasp effort to support private industry at the expense of wildlife habitat and treasured landscapes. latimes.com/business/story…
But even if Trump’s 11th-hour proposal goes nowhere, it offers a preview of the battles that could play out on public lands in California and other Western states as Biden looks to fight climate change by ramping up renewable energy development. latimes.com/business/story…

California’s border with Mexico is, in many ways, where Trump transformed into policy the jingoistic bluster of his 2016 campaign announcement, in which he condemned migrants as rapists and drug dealers. latimes.com/politics/story…
Here, an estimated 5,000 families were torn apart, and at El Chaparral, Trump’s administration launched “Remain in Mexico,” ultimately forcing 70,000 asylum seekers to wait for U.S. court dates in some of the world’s most dangerous cities. latimes.com/politics/story…
Leading up to Inauguration Day, few along the border had answers for how Biden will confront the most immediate challenge left to him by Trump: How to deal with the estimated 30,000 migrants waiting in limbo, as well as thousands more already heading north latimes.com/politics/story…
