Other voices: Trump’s day in court must come before the 2024 election

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:49 GMT

Let’s ask a simple question: should any credible presidential candidate be allowed to commit crimes unperturbed, no matter their severity or how flagrantly, openly and unapologetically they’re committed? Should a presidential candidate be able to, in effect, shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and have that dealt with only after the election?In court filings attorneys for Donald Trump and his valet Walt Nauta suggested yes, calling for their trial in the classified documents case to begin after the 2024 election. The correct answer, obviously, is no, an answer everyone seems to agree with so long as it applies to a candidate they oppose.Trump’s most strident defenders, who screech that the former president — who in full public view attempted to overturn a democratic election and faces significant evidence that he willfully and illegally retained incredibly sensitive classified documents — is being targeted for his political activity have seemed all too happy ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:21:49 GMT

Evidence of a cooldown from the hottest part of the Bay Area’s weekend heat wave were apparent early Sunday, according to the National Weather Service, even if it may not have felt that way. The Bay Area did not receive its usual overnight blast of cool air, some inland areas still were braced to hit at least 100 degrees, and an excessive heat warning remained in place.Yet those upper-level wispy clouds were ever-present, a sign that relief is en route after what will have been an intense 72-hour blast.“We already are seeing a pattern shift,” NWS meteorologist Matt Mehle said Sunday morning. “That high pressure that brought the heat is gonna start to be nudged a bit east. It’s going to be replaced by an area of low pressure that’s coming down from the Pacific Northwest. We’re gonna get the tail end of that, and that’s gonna bring us back down.”On Sunday, temperatures were expected to run 3-5 degrees less than they did Saturday in...

From the towering sequoias in the aptly named Sequoia National Park to the dry expanses of Death Valley, and all parks in between, it’s hard not to be taken aback by the thousands of acres of federally protected land in California. It’s also hard not to wonder what secrets the national parks may hold, like the people who entered the spaces only to never return. Amidst the popularity of true crime documentaries and podcasts is a corner entirely dedicated to the engrossing stories of the national parks.
