30 YEARS AGO today I was at the L.A. County Criminal Courts Building covering the verdict in the O.J. Simpson Murder Trial. Here is a picture by the great photographer @annieleibovitz of all of us who covered the Simpson trial. #OJSimpson

FIFTY YEARS AGO TODAY - The epic and iconic third and final match up between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. "The Thrilla in Manilla." To try to get an understanding of this event, read (click below) this legendary account of the fight by Sports Illustrated's Mark Cram.

60 years later, Sandy Koufax's perfect game is still amazing Tuesday marks 60 years since Sandy Koufax threw a perfect game at Dodger Stadium. The 1-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs is still considered one of the best games in baseball history.

SIXTY YEARS AGO Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game. We look back in this @npr.org report. We speak with three people who were actually AT the legendary game. Two of the players who took part (a Dodger and a Cub) and a fan........Oh I was there too!!!! @mlb.com

YouTube video by CBC News Vehicle hits people outside L.A. nightclub, officials say

MY LATEST REPORT on @CBCNews on a driver plowing a vehicle into a group of people outside a Hollywood Nightclub.

Thanks Eric. Good point. I think that could have put the interview in more context. If the clip we used had been a q&a I definitely would have. We just had him commenting on his thoughts one year later. But like I said, a good point.

The scene in Paramount California after an ICE raid at a Home Depot as the LA County Sheriff’s Department declares this an unlawful assembly and threatens arrests of protesters. .

Thanks for some journalistic "cred" today from the @latimes.com. And I actually like the picture 📸 taken by Juliana Yamada. @julianayamadaphoto.bsky.social

Three of the pictures I took in 2013 on the day of #PopeFrancis installation.

Finally - Paige Bueckers, NCAA National Champion.

Sorry you felt that way. I said that the people here were enthusiastic and talked about what they are protesting. I also did point out that most of these people are longtime opponents of Trump and trying to get others who have stayed on the sideline to engage. Thanks for the feedback however. Steve

With a nice "assist" in the final minutes from @esensten.bsky.social. Thanks Andrew.

There MIGHT be a realistic plan to avert a #shutdown per MSNBC's great reporter @alivitali. Separate votes on
1. Disaster relief,
2. Farm aid
3. Continuing resolution (which would actually keep the government up and running)
Debt ceiling issue would be avoided.
