Dottie the Dolphin Lives On in Memory

Dottie, the beloved 40-year-old bottlenose dolphin who spent her life at SeaWorld San Diego, has passed away — a testament to resilience and the deep bond she shared with her care team and visitors. Born in Orlando, she raised four calves and became a holiday icon, even posing with a Christmas tree. While wild dolphins live just 8-17 years, Dottie thrived under human care for six decades, enduring kidney stones for 15 years. Her curious, strong personality made her a cherished fixture — and her legacy reminds us of the extraordinary lifespans possible in captivity and the unique connections we form with these intelligent creatures.

Experience vs Fresh Blood in CA's 7th

An epic Democratic showdown unfolds in California’s 7th District, where veteran Rep. Doris Matsui, 81, battles rising star Mai Vang, 41, in a clash of generations, ideologies, and identities. Matsui, a congresswoman since 2005 and widow of a longtime lawmaker, commands establishment backing from the California Democratic Party and Governor Newsom. Vang, a progressive city councilmember and daughter of Hmong refugees, could become the first Hmong member of Congress and is energizing younger voters with her bold stance — even drawing conservative ire for her Pledge of Allegiance stance. Redistricting has reshaped the district, stretching from Placerville to rural San Joaquin County, and while other candidates fade into the background, this is the real contest: experience versus fresh energy — and the future of the Democratic Party in California.

Becerra Threatens Lawsuit Against Steyer Ad

California’s gubernatorial primary heats up as Xavier Becerra’s team threatens legal action against Tom Steyer over a new ad linking Becerra to a corruption case involving his former aides. The ad, citing guilty pleas from those aides and a lobbyist for allegedly stealing $225K from a past Becerra campaign account, claims Becerra “knew and did nothing.” Becerra’s camp calls it “textbook defamation,” noting prosecutors never implicated him — and has demanded the ad be pulled. Steyer’s team dismisses the threat, inviting legal battle and vowing to depose key figures, including Becerra, to “tell the truth.” With Steyer pouring over $200M of his own money into ads and polls showing Becerra narrowly ahead, the race remains razor-thin as election day nears.
