The new season of #Bridgerton which premiered Friday, builds on the show’s successful formula by introducing a South Asian family to the ton, the Sharmas. latimes.com/entertainment-…
“#Bridgerton wouldn’t be ‘Bridgerton’ without the colorful, multiethnic and multihued world we established in Season 1,” said creator @chrisvandusen. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The family includes mother Lady Mary Sheffield Sharma (@shelley_conn), daughter, Edwina (Charithra Chandran), and stepdaughter, Kate (Simone Ashley). latimes.com/entertainment-…
Working with his writing staff and historians including @priyaatwal, author of “Royals and Rebels: The Rise and Fall of the Sikh Empire,” Van Dusen set out to give the Sharmas “as much of an authentic specificity as we could.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
We spoke to some historians about the relationship between the European and Indian ruling classes and the real-life Sharmas of Regency London. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday signed into law a bill known to critics as “Don’t Say Gay” that would ban lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender education for students up to the age of 8.

President Biden is expected to sign a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime, finally cementing a legislative triumph that’s eluded generations of lawmakers, civil rights groups and seven presidents.

The Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act is named in honor of a 14-year old Black boy who was kidnapped and tortured to death in Mississippi in 1955.

The law will designate conspiracies to commit crimes, in which hate is the motivating factor and which result in death or serious bodily injury, as federal hate crimes punishable by up to 30 years in prison.

A rapid boom in the number of hospices strongly point to an organized effort to defraud federal end-of-life care programs in L.A. County, putting vulnerable dying patients at risk of harm, according to a state audit released Tuesday. latimes.com/california/sto…
Auditors blamed lax oversight for the problems, noting that the California Department of Public Health became aware of possible fraud by some for-profit hospices seeking licenses yet still approved them. latimes.com/california/sto…
The audit’s findings mirror those of a 2020 Times investigation that uncovered widespread fraud and quality-of-care deficiencies in the state’s booming but loosely regulated hospice industry. latimes.com/california/sto…

The highly infectious BA.2 Omicron subvariant is now the dominant version of the coronavirus circulating in the U.S., according to federal estimates, a development that is triggering fresh concerns of a potential springtime wave.

latimes.com/california/sto…
How big that potential upswing might prove to be remains the subject of much debate.

Some experts believe California is armored against a significant surge because majority of residents have been vaccinated or have some immunity from a recent infection.

latimes.com/california/sto…
BA.2 has fueled substantial increases in other countries, demonstrating how readily the super-contagious subvariant can still spread.

Over the week ending Friday, BA.2 made up an estimated 55% of analyzed samples, according to the CDC.

House hunting?

Here's an open secret that may transform your search: You don’t need a 20% down payment to buy a home. latimes.com/business/story…
Most people in America don’t buy their homes with 20% down.

The median down payment in a recent National Assn of Realtors survey of buyers was 13%.

For people ages 23 to 31, the median was 8%. latimes.com/business/story…
For most people, your choice for low down payment loans will be conforming loans with as little as 3% down, or FHA loans with as little as 3.5% down.

Which one you should choose depends on your personal situation.
