The rock critic and biographer died on Aug. 14 of unknown causes at his home in Norwalk, Connecticut. In his tribute, Landau remembered how at 19, Marsh was “stirring things up” in 1969 at the newly founded Creem Magazine in Detroit, where he helped establish a “punk…
Just like Brock Purdy, Justin Herbert will get the start for the Los Angeles Chargers tonight after not playing in the team’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans.Herbert started last season on an MVP-caliber pace, but insurmountable injuries along the Chargers’ offensive line derailed the team’s season and led to the 28-year-old being sacked a whopping 54 times. Playing through a broken hand at one point, Herbert still threw for 3,727 yards with 26 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while rushing for a career-high 498 yards. His season ended in lackluster fashion, though, throwing for just 159 yards in Los Angeles’…

Bass joined other Democratic officials, including Gov. Gavin Newsom and his likely successor, Xavier Becerra, in urging negotiations in the antitrust lawsuit seeking to foil the $110 billion deal.

That’s not a surprise given the series of legal…

The first group of U.S. deportees arrived in Liberia on Thursday, amid a growing backlash there, with critics saying the Liberian government’s deal with the Trump administration to accept 1,200 deportees is too large and too opaque.The deal with Liberia, in West Africa, is one of the largest struck by the Trump administration for so-called third-country deportations, meaning that the deportees are not being sent to their home countries.

The OAS is the leading international political forum for Western Hemisphere nations. President Sheinbaum echoed her OAS representative’s words during her Thursday mañanera.
