The effort to force a recall election for Gov. Gavin Newsom reached another milestone this week, though it will likely be several more weeks before we know whether the issue will head to voters this year.

Here is where we are now and what we know👇
latimes.com/california/sto…
Organizers of the recall effort said this week they have collected more than 2 million signatures on petitions to force a vote later this year.

latimes.com/california/sto…
If the campaign’s results hold steady from last month, when state officials reported that almost 84% of the initial signatures were valid, there would be more than enough certified petitions to trigger an election.

Hiking makes you hungry.

That's why we asked @byandreachang to put together a list of the best sandwich hikes — that's a hike within a reasonable distance of a great L.A. sandwich.

latimes.com/travel/story/2…
This is not a comprehensive list of L.A.’s best sandwiches. But these 22 sandos are off the charts for sturdiness, tidiness, portability and proximity to a hiking trail.

latimes.com/travel/story/2…
Pro tip: Ask for extra napkins, invest in some wet-naps and keep a roll of aluminum foil in your car. Your hands and the inside of your backpack will be the better for it.

We're sure you've heard what @theweeknd said about the Grammys and their credibility problems.

There's so much more to the story.

@mikaelwood reports latimes.com/entertainment-…
Last year, its former leader made headlines when she was ousted after making explosive allegations regarding discrimination, vote-rigging and financial irregularities latimes.com/entertainment-…
That controversy brought attention to the academy’s secretive insider committees — attention that only increased when the Weeknd was entirely overlooked this year.

We asked an exec at the Recording Academy about that decision:

We talked to @HalleBailey and @ChloeBailey of @chloexhalle about their decision to create separate social media accounts.

@cashleelee has the scoop latimes.com/entertainment-…
"It’s not weird having our own accounts because we’ve always had private ones with our friends," Chloe reveals latimes.com/entertainment-…
"I’m still trying to figure out my Instagram — I’ll post whatever, it’s not that serious to me — but I think Chloe is killing it," Halle says. "She is so beautiful, and I’m so proud of her confidence in herself and her body"latimes.com/entertainment-…

An L.A. County-owned hotel used to quarantine people with COVID-19 failed to follow pandemic safety protocols and properly train housekeepers to protect themselves against the virus, according to a complaint filed with the state.

@hugomartin reports: latimes.com/business/story…
A 71-year-old housekeeper working at the facility tested positive for the coronavirus and died in January while the building — a former Holiday Inn in Long Beach — was being used as a quarantine site, according to the complaint by Unite Here Local 11. latimes.com/business/story…
A housekeeper at the hotel said the trash and linens from the rooms of the quarantined guests were supposed to be handled separately from other trash and linens.

But she said supervisors often told housekeepers to ignore the rules to save time and money. latimes.com/business/story…
